Patent number: 9032303Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for facilitating web-based interaction with a local system are disclosed. Such systems, methods, and computer program products provide an approach that allows a web client within in a web browser environment to access local hardware and local software—via a web server contained in the local system—in a local computer system. In response to a user input, the web client directs local hardware and local software to perform actions (e.g., writing files and taking pictures). Information related to such actions is returned to the web client via the local web server. The local computer system may be remotely located from the web client and such returned information may be stored and/or executed at a remote site (e.g., cloud database). Security layers may be provided to authenticate the user as well as user permissions for accessing the local computer system.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael Hall, Andrew Lovitt

Patent number: 8966379Abstract: Dynamic configuration of cross-environment applications enhances the computing experience in a computing environment with an extended active user environment and/or multiple active user environments. A mobile computing device maintains multiple active device configurations associated with multiple active user environments and/or application windows within active user environments. Device configuration qualifiers are determined from a variety of sources including device characteristics, device indicators, user settings, and/or application presentation. The mobile computing device selects active resource sets for applications based on the device configuration qualifiers. Application presentation is dynamically updated by disestablishing an application screen and establishing a new active application screen using a different resource set. The mobile computing device may be a smartphone running the Android mobile operating system and a full desktop Linux distribution on a modified Android kernel.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Z124Inventors: Brian Reeves, Paul E.

Patent number: 5473761Abstract: A disk drive array including a controller which provides scatter/scatter (bi-directional scatter/gather) operations between noncontiguous host memory address locations and noncontiguous disk address locations. The host provides a single request to launch a scatter/scatter transfer. The single data request includes a pointer to a list of transfer counts and addresses, the length of the list, and the starting logical address on the disk transfer. Skipped blocks in a scatter/scatter request are specified by data address value of -1, and a no-operation (no-op) request is enqueued for each skipped block. Thus, during reads the controller extends the scattered read from the disk into a single large read of contiguous sectors and suppresses the unwanted data by inserting "no-operation" commands in place of the read commands during the transfer to the host.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1994Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Assignee: Dell USA, L.P.Inventors: Terry J. Parks, Kenneth L. Jeffries, Craig S. Jones

Patent number: 5313619Abstract: An external clock unit for use with a DEC 6000 series computer for increasing the clock cycle time includes an oscillator for generating a clock signal which is faster than the clock signal produced by the oscillator in the CPU module in the computer, a line driver for driving the clock signal outputted by the oscillator in the clock unit, a manually operable switch for outputting a control signal and a power supply for providing power to the various components in the clock. In use, the external clock unit is connected to the clock distribution chip in the CPU module in the computer using pins normally used only for test purposes during fabrication. When the switch is turned on, the clock from the oscillator in the computer CPU module is disabled and the clock signal from the clock which is received by the clock distribution chip is used as the clock signal for the computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1991Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Assignee: Gerard J. SeveranceInventor: Daniel L. Bumbarger

Patent number: 5297070Abstract: The elements of a transform processing circuit are switchable to change the order of data in a data stream and/or to perform a fast Fourier transform (FFT) or inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the data stream. Each arithmetic circuit element performs an M-point butterfly operation on complex sample points and includes an adder/subtractor and a serial memory capable of storing M/2 sample points. Each multiplication unit performs an n-point complex twiddle factor operation on its input. The conjugator units conjugate inputted sample points. All circuit elements are connected to buses by switches. These connections are switchable so that in one switch state data input at left terminal flows to right terminal and in another state data input at right terminal flows to left terminal. The state of the bus switches also determines whether the circuit performs a FFT, an IFFT, or a bit reversal operation on input data.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1990Date of Patent: March 22, 1994Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Kien T. Hua, John D. O'Sullivan, Colin E. Jacka, David R. Brown
