  • Publication number: 20130103507
    Abstract: A system and method for providing, in a networked environment, dynamically changing advertisements in response to a user's instant messaging (IM) exchange. An IM interaction module is operably coupled with an advertisement publishing service and an IM service; a message polling module is operably coupled with the IM interaction module; and an advertisement display module is operably coupled with the message polling module and with an IM client interface. The IM client interface includes at least one area for user IM session message text and at least one area for display of one or more advertisements that are provided by the advertisement publishing service based upon the IM session message text content. Method steps include accepting an IM session request, parsing the IM text message content, requesting advertisements based upon the parsed content, and providing the received advertisements to the user's IM client interface for display.

  • Publication number: 20130099702
    Abstract: An LED driver IC for driving external strings of LEDs comprises a prefix register and a data register connected in series with each other and with the prefix and data registers in other driver ICs. The prefix and data registers of the driver ICs are connected in a daisy chain arrangement with an interface IC. The interface IC loads data identifying a functional latch into the prefix register and data defining a functional condition into the data register of each driver IC. The data in the data register is then transferred to the functional latch to control the functional condition within the LED driver IC.

  • Publication number: 20130100611
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to tuning the flow of cooling air across converter and inverter heat sinks in a motor drive system. More specifically, present techniques relate to motor drive duct systems including heat sinks with separate, sequential heat sink fin sections disposed in a common cooling air path and having different geometries to optimize the flow of cooling air across and between fins of the separate heat sink fin sections. For example, the heat sink fin sections may have different fin lengths, fin heights, fin counts, fin pitch (e.g., distance between adjacent fins), and so forth. Each of these different geometric characteristics may be tuned to ensure that temperatures and temperature gradients across the heat sinks are maintained within acceptable ranges.

  • Publication number: 20130103891
    Abstract: Methods described in the present disclosure may be based on a direct transformation of original data to “shaped” data. The disclosed methods may be performed “on-the-fly” and the disclosed methods may utilize an inherent redundancy in compressible data in order to achieve endurance enhancement and error reduction. In a particular example, a method comprises generating a first portion of output data by applying a mapping of input bit sequences to output bit sequences to a first portion of input data, updating the mapping of the input bit sequences to the output bit sequences based on the first portion of the input data to generate an updated mapping, reading a second portion of the input data, and generating a second portion of the output data by applying the updated mapping of the input bit sequences to the output bit sequences to the second portion of the input data.

  • Publication number: 20130100134
    Abstract: Processes, machines, and computer-readable media are provided for expanding and simplifying a polygon or reducing and simplifying a polygon. Polygon expanding or reducing logic receives information that represents a polygon having a set of vertices. The polygon expanding or reducing logic determines another polygon having another set of vertices, such that the other polygon encompasses or is encompassed by the polygon, by determining, for each vertex of the set of vertices, a new set of vertices that are derived from the vertex and are at least a particular distance outside or inside the polygon. The vertex reducing logic determines whether an intermediate vertex is within the particular distance of a proposed segment between two other vertices of the other set of vertices, even though the intermediate vertex is not on the proposed segment, and, if so, removing the intermediate vertex from the other set of vertices.

  • Publication number: 20130100012
    Abstract: A display mode, including an update rate and/or resolution of an electronic display device, is dynamically adjusted by computing a change rate metric (CRM) representative of an image change rate, and adjusting, based on the CRM, at least one of the update rate and the image resolution. The display device may be switched between at least two display modes, based on the CRM, which may be computed by comparing each pixel row in a first frame with a corresponding pixel row in a comparison frame, and determining a number of pixel rows that have changed. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value for each pixel row may be computed, and the CRM may then be computed by determining a number of pixel rows that have a changed CRC value with respect to a corresponding pixel row of the comparison frame.

  • Publication number: 20130100096
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for controlling brightness of a display based on ambient light conditions. In one aspect, a display device can include a reflective display and an auxiliary light source configured to provide supplemental light to the display. The display device further can include a sensor system configured to determine an illuminance of ambient light, and a controller configured to adjust the auxiliary light source to provide an amount of supplemental light to the display based at least in part on the determined illuminance. In one aspect, the amount of supplemental light remains substantially the same or substantially increases in response to increasing illuminance when the illuminance is below a first threshold, and substantially decreases in response to increasing illuminance when the illuminance is above a second threshold that is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20130098997
    Abstract: Targets associated with transactions to be processed at a workstation are read by capturing return light from the targets with an array of light sensors of a solid-state imager having a field of view that extends through a workstation window to the targets. A controller controls the imager to operate at a frame rate to acquire images of the targets over successive frames in either a batch mode or a free-running mode. A memory stores the acquired images. The controller processes all of the stored images, and processes at least one of the stored images over an extended time period greater than one of the frames.

  • Publication number: 20130103668
    Abstract: A question conversion engine converts terms and phrases used in a user's question into terms and phrases that are more likely to produce information containing the search terms. The question conversion engine parses a user's question to associate each term in the user's question with a part of speech and to eliminate extraneous terms in the user's question. A term/phrase replacement map is used to replace terms and/or phrases in the user's question with replaced terms and phrases that are more likely to produce relevant information. The question conversion engine matches the user's question to a declarative expression thereby altering the semantics of the question into an expression that is more likely to produce optimum search results.
