Publication number: 20170302627Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of targeting advertisements to be displayed on customers' mobile devices who move through a physical location. A method for dynamic delivery of content to a user's portable device connected to an access point is disclosed which includes the steps of: analysing network traffic sent from the portable device via the access point; generating a profile for the user based at least in part upon the analysed network traffic and the location of the portable device; matching content to the user profile; and delivering the matched content to the portable device. A system for dynamically delivering content is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2015Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Amy May, Yenn LAI, Marius Constantin RARINCA

Patent number: 7457678Abstract: A system and method of planning an operational task of a workplace collects data related to at least one task. An ergonomic risk score of each task is generated. A determination is made if the ergonomic risk score is acceptable. An option is provided to a user to proceed with the plan if the ergonomic risk score is acceptable. An option is provided to the user to redesign at least a portion of the plan.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2006Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David R. Smith, Richard Jay Gardner, Amy May, Chuck Eggleston, David Curtis Smith, Andrea K. Pidduck, Peter J. Gaul, John R. Amell

Patent number: 6389585Abstract: A method for building a multiprocessor data processing system is disclosed. A component among a collection of components on a multichip module is identified. The collection of components, which includes both processors and cache components, and each of the components may be functional or non-functional. A determination is made as to whether or not the identified component is functional. In response to a determination that the identified component is functional, the process of component association is performed between the identified component and other functional components on the multichip module such that interconnect length between all functional components can be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1999Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Paul Masleid, John Stephen Muhich, Amy May Tuvell

Patent number: 6338025Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining power consumption in logic devices including mixed static and dynamic logic blocks is implemented. Input logical signals are tagged as having dynamical behavior or static behavior, and the power consumption of the logic block determined according to the behavior of the input signal. If an input signal has dynamic behavior, an output signal making a transition in response thereto will make two transitions per clock cycle, and the per cycle power consumption of the logic block is accordingly weighted. In another embodiment, a Boolean behavior signal is calculated for each block from clock phase tags and “one cycle per cycle” circuit level simulations. The per cycle power consumption of each logic block receives a weight in response to the Boolean behavior signal, according the behavior of the block characterized thereby.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1998Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Michael Alexander Bowen, Byron Lee Krauter, Steven Arthur Schmidt, Clay Chip Smith, Amy May Tuvell

Patent number: 6209073Abstract: Storage access blocking instructions, such as the EIEIO instruction implemented within the PowerPC architecture, block other storage access instructions at the bus interface stage as opposed to the execute stage. Therefore, cacheable instructions, and other similar instructions, are allowed to complete without being blocked by such an EIEIO instruction not ordered by the EIEIO instruction.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1998Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignees: International Business Machines Corp., Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Edward Okpisz, Thomas Albert Petersen, Amy May Tuvell, Ronny Lee Arnold

Patent number: 6134646Abstract: In a processor, store instructions are divided or cracked into store data and store address generation portions for separate and parallel execution within two execution units. The address generation portion of the store instruction is executed within the load store unit, while the store data portion of the instruction is executed in an execution unit other than the load store unit. If the store instruction is a fixed point execution unit, then the store data portion is executed within the fixed point unit. If the store instruction is a floating point store instruction, then the store data portion of the store instruction is executed within the floating point unit. The store instruction is completed when all older instructions have completed and when all instructions in the instruction group have finished.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Kurt Alan Feiste, Tai Dinh Ngo, Amy May Tuvell

Patent number: 5815687Abstract: A domino logic simulator for a CMOS domino logic circuit seeds all logic circuits under test with an "X" state before initialization of a special simulator machine cycle devoted to validating all pre-charge circuits in each stage of the CMOS domino logic circuit. In the special machine cycle, each stage of the circuit receives a discrete clock signal which is applied to the pre-charge and logic devices in precharge and evaluation phase sequences. The clock phase sequences in each stage propagate the "X" state at each logic circuit through the succeeding stages to provide an "X" output for the machine cycle, except a "0" state is provided as an output at the end of the machine cycle if the precharge circuit in each stage is functioning properly during the precharge sequences of the clock cycle applied to the stage. A clocked delay reset circuit in each stage provides the output of the stage. A static logic device in each stage saves power in transferring the output of a stage to a succeeding stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1996Date of Patent: September 29, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Masleid, Wolfgang Roesner, Amy May Tuvell

Patent number: 5701495Abstract: An interrupt subsystem within a data processing system is scalable from low-end uni-processor systems to high-end multi-processor (MP) systems. This interrupt subsystem provides for queueing of interrupts from many sources, and for queueing of interrupts to the best processor in a multi-processor system. The external interrupt mechanism is separated into two layers, an interrupt routing layer and an interrupt presentation layer. The interrupt routing layer routes the interrupt conditions to the appropriate instance of an interrupt management area within the interrupt presentation layer. The interrupt presentation layer communicates the interrupt source to the system software which is to service/process the interrupt. By providing two layers within the interrupt subsystem, application or system software can be written which is independent from the types or sources of interrupts. The interrupt routing layer hides the details of a particular hardware implementation from the software.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1995Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard Louis Arndt, James Otto Nicholson, Edward John Silha, Steven Mark Thurber, Amy May Youngs
