  • Patent number: 9047456
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media are provided. In some embodiments, a server receives from a browser on a client a request to access a first web page. In response to receiving the request, the server sends to the client a second web page including an embedded executable program configured to run within the browser on the client, wherein the embedded executable program, when executed on the client, is operable to obtain a ticket-granting ticket stored on the client and send the ticket-granting ticket to the server. The server receives the ticket-granting ticket from the embedded executable program on the client. Furthermore, the server determines whether a user associated with the ticket-granting ticket is authorized to access the first web page. In response to determining that the user is authorized to access the first web page, the server grants the requested access to the first web page.

  • Patent number: 9047285
    Abstract: A frame represents a concept with a set of roles and a set of linguistic rules. If a linguistic rule is satisfied, by a unit of natural language discourse (UNLD), the frame is invoked and a frame instance produced. A frame instance specifies how the UNLD, with particular values drawn from the UNLD, fulfills the roles of the frame. A frame-based search, of target content, is accomplished in response to a frame-based user query. The search result is comprised of records, where each record is a result of a match, of the frame-based query, at a location in the target content. If the frame-based query is implicit, a match requires only that the location of the target content invokes the appropriate frame. If the frame-based query is role-specific, in addition to invoking the appropriate frame, a query search term needs to be found in the value for a role of the frame instance produced.

  • Patent number: 9048802
    Abstract: A power amplifier circuit includes an amplifier MOSFET and a predistorter MOSFET. The predistorter MOSFET source and drain are connected together, and the predistorter MOSFET is connected between the gate of the amplifier MOSFET and a second bias voltage signal. This biasing of the predistorter MOSFET causes it to provide a nonlinear capacitance at the gate of the amplifier MOSFET. The combined non-linear capacitances of the amplifier MOSFET and predistorter MOSFET provide predistortion that promotes cancellation of the distortion or nonlinearity contributed by the amplifier MOSFET alone.

  • Patent number: 9046812
    Abstract: A film member in a development device can vibrate with respect to an internal wall in the development device. An idler gear in the development device includes a projection and is reciprocally movable between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position where the projection is apart from an end edge of the film member in response to a rotation of a toner supply roller when image formation is performed. The second position is a position where the projection overlaps with the end edge of the film member in response to a reverse rotation of the toner supply roller when image formation is not performed. The projection causes the film member to vibrate by intermittently coming into contact with the end edge of the film member along with a rotation of the idler gear at the second position.

  • Patent number: 9046842
    Abstract: A fixing device includes a heat source, a fixing roller, a pressure roller, an elastic layer, a pressing portion, a restricting portion and a driving unit. The fixing roller is heated by the heat source. The pressure roller is held in contact with the fixing roller and forms a fixing nip portion through which a sheet is to be passed. The elastic layer is formed on an inner layer of the fixing roller. The pressing portion presses one roller of the fixing roller and the pressure roller against the other roller while compressing the elastic layer. The restricting portion restricts a compression amount of the elastic layer lest the compression amount should exceed a preset compression amount when the pressing portion presses the roller. The driving unit drives and rotates one of the fixing roller and the pressure roller in a state where the compression amount is restricted.

  • Publication number: 20150146335
    Abstract: An overcurrent protection device satisfactorily detects overcurrent without adding complicated component or occupying large space. Penetration member penetrates board face A having a first wiring circuit and face B with a second one, transmitting heat from face A to B. Connection/disconnection part is inserted into first wiring circuit, switching current to heat generation part for generating heat with current, formed in portion of first circuit, continued with one end of penetration member. Temperature detection member disposed near or abutted against other end of penetration member on face B detects transmitted heat, outputting signal. Control part controls connection/disconnection part on signal. Heat generation part is narrower than width w1 not generating heat in steady state, having width w2 to raise temperature upon overcurrent, and being sandwiched between patterns with width w1. Control part turns off current with heat generation part temperature raised to or above prescribed threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150148034
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for managing a mass registration scenario in a two-way radio system. A site controller in a trunked radio system detects a mass registration condition in which registration requests by subscriber units are likely to collide on an inbound control channel. During the mass registration condition, the site controller initiates a restriction period by instructing subscriber units that are members of particular talkgroups to temporarily cease registration requests. Those talkgroup members are permitted to resume their registration requests when a predetermined delay time has passed since the members were instructed to cease registration, or when a particular silence time has passed without registration activity over the control channel.
