Abstract: A wireless game management system includes a plurality of game pieces, each game piece including a wireless module configured to transmit a location signal, and a wireless game management processor configured to determine the absolute or relative positions of at least two game pieces based on the location signals, determine a game status based on the absolute or relative positions of the at least two game pieces, and convey game status information through a user interface associated with the wireless game management processor.

Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A portion of the data is associated with a heightened authentication protocol, a first request receiving, at the cloud-based storage service, for an application to access data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. The first request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the first request, permission is granted to the application to access the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. The permission is time-limited. It is determined that the application is editing the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. Permission for the application to access the data while the application is editing the data is temporarily extended.

Abstract: The present invention is directed a high density optical fiber distribution system having a preterminated optical fiber termination block assemblies and an integrated splicing compartment disposed on a frame. The preterminated optical fiber termination block assembly includes optical fiber termination block with an installed multi-fiber stub cable. Each optical termination block has a plurality of termination modules has a plurality of connector adapters into which optical fiber connectors disposed on a first end of the multi-fiber stub cable are connected. A second end of the multi-fiber stub cable is connected to a distribution cable in the integrated splicing compartment, wherein the splicing compartment comprises a plurality of drawers containing optical splices and wherein each drawer of the splicing compartment can be correlated to the preterminated optical fiber termination block assembly.

Abstract: The problem of evenly cooking a food item so that all sides cook and brown evenly is solved by the use of a roasting platform that raises above rendered substances that can cause a steam and wetness to the surface of a food item. The roasting platform can be foldable or compressed, so that it takes up minimal storage space and can be deployed for use. Drain holes allow rendered substances to be more quickly separated from the surface of a food item. The same drain holes can be used as visual indicators when deploying the roasting platform to show when he folds of a roasting platform are sufficiently separated for maximum usable area and support for a weight placed thereon.

Abstract: An enhanced dual in line memory module (DIMM) connector includes internal conductive paths that provide access to signaling on standard conductive paths to an industry standard DIMM. The internal conductive paths are coupled in series or in parallel with the standard conductive paths through the connector. Interposer circuitry, such as control circuitry and or supplemental memory circuitry, may be incorporated on or within the connector. The interposer circuitry may include field effect transistor (FET) switching circuitry configured to selectively decouple a defective dynamic random memory (DRAM) on a DIMM from a conductive path to a memory controller and couple a substitute DRAM to the conductive paths in its place.

Abstract: Reducing system downtime during memory subsystem maintenance in a computer processing system is disclosed. In some aspects, a computer processing system comprises a computer processor communicatively coupled to a plurality of memory sockets, each of which interfaces with a memory module and includes a gate control. The computer processor is further communicatively coupled to a dedicated non-volatile storage device. Upon detection of a memory health condition requiring replacement of a memory module, access to the memory module is blocked, and data is transferred from the memory module to the dedicated non-volatile storage device. A memory address range of the memory module is then remapped to the dedicated non-volatile storage device, such that subsequent memory access requests to the memory module are rerouted to the dedicated non-volatile storage device. The memory socket of the memory module is then gated, allowing maintenance to be performed while maintaining system availability.

Abstract: Unwanted picture or video images are inhibited from being displayed by wireless communication devices based on the identity of the message originator, be that identity a phone number, an e-mail address, a website, a blocked message originator identification signal, the absence of a message originator identifier associated with the wireless picture message, or an electronic serial number of the message originator's device.

Abstract: A cellular telephone receives a wireless signal containing Caller ID and a picture or video message. The picture or video message may be encrypted, compressed or encoded. The received Caller ID may be used to establish the identity of the originator of the picture or video message.

Abstract: A wireless information communication system, such as a paging network, that provides caller identification information transmitted from the public switched telephone network to a pager, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or personal communication device carried by a page-receiving communicant. The system may include a textual or synthesized voice query to verify the telephone number and/or name information that was derived from caller identification information received, and may also prompt a caller to enter other optional data such as alternative caller-identifying information, call-back information or message information. The wireless communication system then transmits at least one of the caller identification information and the optional data to a page-receiving communicant. A cellular communication system may also transmit a paging message containing caller identification information or optional data to a cellular radiotelephone device.

Abstract: Picture messages are transmitted to a wireless device with a paging notification that includes the telephone number of a message originator and are used by the message recipient to identify who is sending the message.

Abstract: The present invention provides adenoviral vectors comprising cell status-specific transcriptional regulatory elements which confer cell status-specific transcriptional regulation on an adenoviral gene. A “cell status” is generally a reversible physiological and/or environmental state. The invention further provides compositions and host cells comprising the vectors, as well as methods of using the vectors.

Abstract: A message originator sends a picture or video message to a message center along with caller identifying information. The message is stored in a memory and transmitted to a wireless picture phone, PDA or portable computing device, or stored at the message center in a memory or hard disk drive for later retrieval by a message recipient. The picture or video message may be encoded, encrypted or compressed prior to receipt by the wireless device.

Abstract: In a wireless picturephone system and device, a method is shown for alerting a message recipient of a picture or video message transmitted from a message center. The alert in one embodiment includes a stored sound or textual data such as a name or other useful information associated with data that identifies the message originator.
