Patent number: 9544239Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for network congestion management. The methods and systems receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence or absence of network congestion and further comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and provide an indication of the presence or absence of network congestion generated based, at least in part, on the first congestion indicator. The methods and systems also receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and output a second packet complying with the first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence of network congestion.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Mellanox Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Barak Gafni, Benny Koren, Freddy Gabbay, Zachy Hamamaty, Shachar Raindel

Patent number: 9536325Abstract: A device that provides a map and/or navigation application that displays items on the map and/or navigation instructions differently in different modes. The applications of some embodiments provide a day mode and a night mode. In some embodiments the application uses the day mode as a default and activates the night mode when the time is after sunset at the location of the device. Some embodiments activate night mode when multiple conditions are satisfied (for example, when (1) the time is after sunset at the location of the device and (2) the ambient light level is below a threshold brightness).Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Cédric Bray, Christopher D. Moore, Patrick S. Piemonte, Emanuele Vulcano, Marcel van Os, Billy P. Chen, Seejo K. Pylappan, Justin O'Beirne

Patent number: 9537908Abstract: Some examples include transitioning between an individual mode and a collaborative mode in response to an orientation change of a device. Further, some implementations include identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices (e.g., co-located devices) in the collaborative mode. In some examples, the individual mode may be associated with an individual search, the collaborative mode may be associated with a collaborative search, and the devices may transition between the individual mode and the collaborative mode in response to orientation changes.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shiri Azenkot, Meredith June Morris, Jaime Brooks Teevan, Daniel John Liebling

Patent number: 9454289Abstract: A video playlist associated with a set of videos is distinguished in a graphical user interface using a dynamic thumbnail to represent the playlist. The dynamic thumbnail comprises a static portion comprising a first image associated with the set of videos and a dynamic portion comprising one or more second images associated with the set of videos. An image provided in the dynamic portion is configured to change while the first image remains the same in response to a shift in the graphical user interface that results in a change in position of the thumbnail about the user graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Aaron Joseph Wheeler, Chris Lauritzen
