Abstract: Hibernating an android device includes freezing one or more tasks, processes, drives, data and/or files of open applications, or other RAM data, and creating a hibernation image. A resume image is generated based on the hibernation image. The resume image is stored to disk along with one or more hibernation parameters that are configured to guide Linux to specific memory locations of certain resume image data. Power to both the processor and the RAM storage devices of the android device are then cut off.

Abstract: A digital camera includes an optical assembly and image sensor for capturing still and/or video images and displaying the images on a screen. The camera includes a touch slider that is configured for sensing a relative movement of a finger, thumb or stylus or other tool of a user, or combinations thereof, and adjusting a value of an imaging parameter based on the relative movement.

Abstract: A digital camera includes an optical assembly and image sensor for capturing still and/or video images and displaying the images on a screen. The camera includes three or more spaced apart microphones aligned with the optical assembly for capturing audio during image capture. At least two pairs of microphones are spaced apart along orthogonal directional axes for capturing left-right stereo sound in any camera orientation.

Abstract: A digital camera includes an optical assembly and image sensor for capturing still and/or video images and displaying the images on a rear display screen. The camera includes a magnifying viewfinder that is coupled to the housing and is movable between a stowed position out of the way of the display screen and an active position for viewing a subset of display screen pixels with magnification.

Abstract: Emitter electrodes of ion wind fans can operate at high voltages in ionized environments. This can lead to degradation of the emitter electrodes over time. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an ion wind fan having a primary emitter electrode, and a redundant emitter electrode. The primary emitter electrode and the redundant emitter electrode are never simultaneously operational.

Abstract: An ion wind fan can be incorporated into a solid-state lighting device to thermally manage the lighting device. In one embodiment, the lighting device includes a bulb body having air intake and exhaust openings, and an ion wind fan to generate airflow between the openings. The lighting device can further include an upstream heat sink disposed upstream of the ion wind fan with respect to the airflow, the upstream heat sink having a shape that provides no direct line of sight from the air intake openings to the ion wind fan.

Abstract: String matching a first string to a string stored in a string dictionary is performed by k-way hashing the first string and locating corresponding k hash locations in a first memory. When any of the k hash locations has a zero Bloom bit, the first string is deemed to not match any of the strings in the string dictionary. Otherwise, a sub-set of the k hash locations identified as those k hash locations having non-zero Bloom bits and a unique bit set to 1 each include a pointer that points to a string in the string dictionary that is fetched and compared to the first string wherein the fetches from the string dictionary are interleaved over the addresses from the first memory. A match signal is issued when the first string matches at least one of the strings stored in the dictionary.

Abstract: An efficient finite state machine implementation of a string matching that relies upon a Content Addressable Memory (CAM) or a CAM-equivalent collision-free hash-based lookup architecture with zero false positives used as a method for implementing large FSMs in hardware using a collision-free hash-based look up scheme with low average case bandwidth and power requirements that overcomes prior art limitations by providing the ability to match an anchored or unanchored input stream against a large dictionary of long and arbitrary length strings at line speed. It should be noted that in the context of the described embodiments, a string could take many forms, such as a set of characters, bits, numbers or any combination thereof.
