  • Publication number: 20170307694
    Abstract: In embodiments, an apparatus may include a battery life monitor. The battery life monitor may, in some embodiments, receive a battery level indicator indicative of a current charge level of a battery that is coupled with the apparatus and a first temperature that may indicate a temperature of a current location of the apparatus. The battery life monitor may also receive one or more additional temperatures that indicate respective temperatures of one or more locations in which the apparatus is likely to be operated prior to discharge of the current charge level of the battery. Based at least in part on the current charge level, the first temperature indicator, and the one or more additional temperatures, the battery life monitor may calculate one or more battery life estimates that correspond with the one or more locations. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9727316
    Abstract: In one implementation, an electronic package of assets substantially complying with a standard is received from a content provider. Placeholders in an application referring to items of content defined by the standard are replaced with items of content from the package of assets. In another implementation, an electronic package of assets substantially complying with a standard is received from a content provider. A publisher is identified, the package of assets is provided to the publisher, and an application incorporating items from the package of assets is received. In another implementation, a package of assets substantially complying with a standard is prepared, an application is received from a publisher, and a version of the application is generated, replacing references in the application to items defined in a standard with items of content from the package of assets.

  • Patent number: 9424479
    Abstract: In some instances, an image may have dimensions that do not correspond to a slot to display the image. For example, an image content item may have dimensions that do not correspond to a content item slot. The image may be resized using seam carving to add or remove pixels of the image. A saliency map for the image may be used having saliency scores for each pixel of the image. Evaluation metrics may be used before, during, and after, seam carving to determine whether salient content is affected by the seam carving. In some instances, a seam cost threshold value may be used for adaptive step size during the seam carving. The resized image may then be outputted, such as for an image content item to be served with a resource.

  • Publication number: 20160181830
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting the charge for a battery under a power sharing arrangement is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining if power output capacity of an alternating current (AC) adapter is less than or greater than a system power requirement for a system that receives power from the AC adapter and a battery, determining a charge current for charging the battery from the AC adapter, based on a voltage range of the battery, the current charge being less than excess current available from the AC adapter in view of determining that the power output capacity of the AC adapter is greater than the system power requirement, and controlling a battery charger to charge the battery with the charge current by specifying the charge current to the battery charger if the power output capacity of the AC adapter is greater than the system power requirement.

  • Patent number: 9298337
    Abstract: Display data is transmitted to a user interface. The display data includes an offer component for providing additional online content. The offer component includes a first region and a second region. A first user interaction is received from the user interface. It is determined whether the first user interaction occurred within one of the first region and the second region. When the first user interaction is determined to have occurred within the first region, the first user interaction is processed as a request for the additional online content associated with the offer component. When the first user interaction is determined to have occurred within the second region, a user prompt is presented for a confirmation of the request for the additional online content associated with the offer component.

  • Publication number: 20140365319
    Abstract: An online content server includes a memory device for storing data and a processor in communication with the memory device. The processor is programmed to store dynamic online content and to receive a content request for displaying dynamic online content on a mobile computing device. The content request is initiated at least in part by a publication request. The processor is programmed to determine that the content request is associated with one of the dynamic online content and to deliver the dynamic online content with an overlay layer to the mobile computing device for display to a user. The overlay layer is positioned at least partially over the dynamic online content. The overlay layer allows the user to activate the dynamic online content or to navigate to a navigated publication item representing one of the first publication item or a second publication item.

  • Publication number: 20120254435
    Abstract: Models and tools for facilitating database instance consolidation are described. One approach obtains standardized database instance performance data, receives instance isolation criteria which are applied to divide instances into sets, determines resource usage for each set, and assigns instance sets to target machines based on resource usage and capacity. Each instance set is associated with a virtual machine in some cases. A security isolation criterion indicates that specified instances shall not co-reside on a target machine; an organizational criterion indicates that specified instances shall be located together in a single data center; a compatibility criterion indicates that instances shall not reside in the same virtual machine, the same physical server, or the same server pool. Users iteratively reach an acceptable consolidation of instances at one or more data centers, such as an enhanced assignment of instances that is more efficient than a linear additive solution.
