  • Patent number: 9578679
    Abstract: A wireless mobile communication device includes a wireless communication subsystem configured to wirelessly communicate through a local data access point to cause a query to be delivered to a remote access point location database. The location database contains information about the location of local data access points within a widespread area. The query is for location information for data access points located near the wireless device. The wireless device receives nearby access point location information from the database, and the device causes at least a portion of the access point location information to be delivered to a user. This may be done through a user interface, upon request of the user, and while the wireless communication subsystem is not connected to a local data access point.

  • Patent number: 9439565
    Abstract: A digital microscope slide image tiling server 16 divides digital microscope slide image 24 into tiles 28. Each tile 28 is labeled with a magnification level and a location relative to the digital microscope slide image 24 that each tile 28 originated. A communications device 20 receives a pathologist selection 40 that designates a portion of a specimen to view at a different magnification. The communications device 20 provides the magnification level and location 44 to the digital microscope slide image tiling server 16. The digital microscope slide image tiling server 16 provides the tiles 38 labeled with the magnification level and location provided by the pathologist selection 40 to the communications device 20. The communications device 20 correlates the coordinate set associated with each tile 38 to the viewer interface of the communications device 20. The communications device 20 displays the tiles 38 via the viewer interface.

  • Publication number: 20160196087
    Abstract: A node controller-based request responding method and node controller, where the method includes receiving, by a first node controller, a first packet, acquiring an information directory, and querying, in the information directory, whether a memory address requested by the first packet is occupied by a second node controller, and when the memory address requested by the first packet is occupied by the second node controller, querying node presence information to determine whether the second node controller exists, and when it is determined that the second node controller does not exist, generating and sending an invalid response packet.

  • Publication number: 20160179436
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data migration method for memory modules in a server and a server. By establishing a mirror relationship between agent apparatuses of two memory modules, a processor in the present invention instructs the agent apparatuses to perform data migration between the two memory modules, to complete migration of data from one memory module to the other memory module. The entire data migration process requires no participation of an operating system, and consumes a short period of time, thereby implementing convenient data migration for memory modules in a server.

  • Publication number: 20160157071
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can broadcast a first wireless communication including information associated with a first user. A second wireless communication including information associated with a second user can be detected. Log data including at least a portion of the information associated with the second user can be generated. The log data can also include signal strength data associated with the second wireless communication and time data indicating when the second wireless communication was detected. The log data can be provided for analysis. One or more connections suggested for the first user based, at least in part, on the log data can be received.

  • Patent number: 9118746
    Abstract: A system for dialing from Internet extension of other SIP proxy server to conventional extension is disclosed. A VoIP gateway or an IP auto attendant is used for dialing from Internet extension to conventional extension. The phone number of the Private Branch Exchange and the voice guidance are not needed. The calling number of SIP message is interpreted directly and converted into DTMF (Dual-tone multi-frequency) messages for dialing into a conventional extension.

  • Patent number: 9099031
    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for layout synchronization are described. A first device can share with a second device a layout designed according to display properties of the first device, even if display properties of the second device differ from those of the first device. The layout can be synchronized between the devices, where each device can adapt the layout in a manner specific to the display properties of the device. Two-dimensional views of same data can have a consistent appearance on multiple devices each having distinct display properties.

  • Patent number: 8676933
    Abstract: The present invention provides an NAT (Network Address Translator) traversal method in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for solving the problems of SIP in Internet phone (VoIP) under current Internet environment. In other words, the present invention solves the SIP problems caused by NAT (Network Address Translator) that P2P (Peer to Peer) transmission cannot traverse the NAT firewall directly. The major content of the present invention is that the computer conducts multiple registrations before issuing an Invite message in order to detect the rule of the NAT server to assign port number and IP address. Additional commands or parameters beyond the SIP standard are not required for the NAT traversal function. Hence, the capability of SIP for a NAT traversal function is provided without no additional commands or parameters.
