Abstract: The systems and methods described here can reduce the storage space required (memory and/or disk) to store certain types of data, provide efficient (fast) creation, modification and retrieval of such data, and support such data within the framework of a multi-version database. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can store each field of a set of records as a vector of values, e.g., a data vector. A set of records can be represented using a vector id vector, or “vid” vector, wherein each element of the vid vector contains a reference to the memory location of a data vector. A header table can store associations between labels and “vid” vectors that pertain to those labels. Identical data vectors can be re-used between different record sets or vid vectors needing that vector, thus saving space.

Abstract: A wireless power system may use a wireless power transmitting device to transmit wireless power to a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power transmitting device may transmit wireless power at a wireless power transmission frequency. Wireless power signals at the wireless power transmission frequency can create interference with a sensitive electrical component in the wireless power receiving device when the wireless power transmission frequency lies in a sensitive frequency band associated with the component. Measurement circuitry in the wireless power receiving device can measure the wireless power transmission frequency. In response to determining that the wireless power transmission frequency lies in a sensitive frequency band, the wireless power receiving device may send an in-band wireless power level adjustment request to the wireless power transmitting device. The request causes a frequency adjustment that moves the wireless power transmission frequency out of the sensitive band.

Abstract: A method and system for managing an application with multiple modes are described. A device manager that manages a mobile device may monitor the mobile device.

Abstract: A wireless power receiving device may have wireless power receiving circuitry with a coil and rectifier. The wireless power receiving circuitry receives wireless power signals and uses the rectifier to supply a corresponding output. The output is characterized by a current, a voltage, and a power equal to a product of the current and voltage. The output of the rectifier is supplied to a direct-current-to-direct-current power regulator integrated circuit, which supplies direct-current power to a system load and battery. A controller integrated circuit directs the power regulator circuit to dither the current while monitoring for a peak in the power. If the power regulator circuit dithers the current satisfactorily, the wireless power receiving circuitry may be operated at the peak power. If the power regulator circuitry does not dither the current in response to being directed to dither the current, a wireless power transmission level may be reduced.

Abstract: A method for performing image processing of a physical document image. The method may include receiving an image file including an image of a physical document and a control target. The method may include measuring control target attributes of the control target. Measuring the control target attributes of the control target may include numerically measuring a degree of focus of the image file based on the control target. The method may include performing a static crop of the image file based on the control target attributes by removing the control target from the image file to create a cropped image.

Abstract: A dual filter pump assembly provides a portable, typically hand-powered vacuum and pressure pump that alternatively creates a vacuum or negative pressure and positive pressure which force a liquid to be filtered through various passageways and chambers in a base and through a coarse filter medium and a micro filter medium. A lower check valve and an upper check valve maintain synchronized communication between the passageways, such that there is sufficient pressure and flow regulation to force the liquid through micro-sized pores in the generally flow restrictive micro filter medium. The micro-sized pores may be susceptible to inhibiting the flow of the liquid, and consequently generate pressure build up inside the pump and filter chambers. In some embodiments, a relief valve may help release the excess fluid pressure build up in the pump and filter chambers.

Abstract: A computer system monitors connectivity between a core network and two or more paths comprising a contiguous local area network segment. Each of the two or more paths couple at least one member of a team of network resources of the computer system to the core network. Each of the members of the team is configured to receive network management frames transmitted by one or more devices residing near or within the core network. A break in the connectivity between a path of the network segment and the core network is detected whenever the at least one member of the team coupled to that path fails to receive an expected one of the network management frames within a predetermined time period.
