The method also includes activating, based on the first selection, a data partition in a storage device corresponding to the first device. The method further includes deactivating based on the first selection, data partitions in the storage device corresponding to non-selected devices. Additionally, the method includes storing information in the data partition corresponding to the first device. Moreover, the method includes receiving, via a second switch, a second selection. The method also includes determining that the first selection matches the second selection. The method further includes retrieving, based on the determining, the information from said activated data partition. Additionally, the method includes providing the retrieved information to a first device that corresponds to the first selection and the second selection.

Abstract: A method and system for securely wirelessly communicating between a vehicle and a source are provided. Information regarding a vehicle or a source is provided with at least one information device.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for multiband wireless data transmission between aircraft and ground systems. The transmission uses different wavelength ranges, each wavelength range corresponding to a different data domain and establishing a different communication channel. This wavelength differentiation provides physical separation between different data domains and, as a result, improves data security. Furthermore, a single broadband antenna is used on the exterior of the aircraft for transmitting data sets from different data domains. The single antenna configuration reduces drag and weight and improves structural integrity of the aircraft in comparison to multi-antenna configurations. Different aircraft communication modules, which are connected to different aircraft systems, handle different data domains and operate at different wavelength ranges. These modules are connected to the same antenna using a multiplexer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing search results. In one aspect, a transition from a first search result environment to a second, different search result environment is done in a manner that preserves the user experience of focusing on a selected search result. The transition can be facilitated by an intermediate search result environment that appears during the transition from the first search result environment to the second search result environment. The intermediate search result environment displays search result data of a search result that was selected in the first search result environment. The search result data that is displayed is, for example, data that was provided for display in the first search result environment. For example, in the case of image search results, the search result data that is displayed is a thumbnail image of the image search result.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for ways of testing tags are provided. In an aspect of the present invention, an antenna is mounted in a cavity of a surface. The antenna transmits a test signal, such as a radio frequency (RF) test signal, to the antenna of an adjacent tag, to test the adjacent tag. In aspects, multiple cavities having antennas may be arranged in various ways in the surface, such as in a “checkerboard pattern” (e.g., diagonally positioned from each other), to test multiple tags in a web of tags simultaneously. In another aspect, tags that are not being tested may be held at an electrical voltage, such as a ground voltage, to disable the tags from responding to the test signals of other tags. For example, in an aspect, a vacuum system may be used to hold tags in a web of tags to the surface to hold antennas of the tags at the electrical voltage.

Abstract: A software program on the computer system is represented by an icon, which is displayed to a user within one of several available icon-level graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of the operating system (OS). In addition to the standard icon displayed in the icon-level GUI, a license status symbol is associated/affiliated with the icon. The license status symbol indicates the license status of the particular application, from among shareware, un-licensed, valid license, expired license, expiring license, time to license expiration, and/or evaluation license. Each different license status is represented by a unique/identifiable license status symbol, and each application existing in one of these license status on the computer system are represented by its icon and associated/affiliated license status symbol. By viewing the icon and associated/affiliates license status symbol, a user is able to identify the specific license state of the application without having to open/run the application.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for a communications device transferring data. A signal strength is received for a communications link used to transfer data to a destination. In response to the signal strength less than a threshold, the data is cached in the communications device to form cached data. In response to a loss and reestablishment of the communications link, the cached data is sent to the destination.
