  • Systems and methods to enable users to interact with remotely managed documents with a single interaction using locally stored documents
    Patent number: 10339156
    Abstract: A system and method that enables editing capabilities of content accessed from a content management server using any type of locally-installed application is provided. In some embodiments, a content management server stores documents in a cache on the user's computer. Documents can thus be accessed and edited using the document in the local file system of the user. For example, users may open, reserve or lock, download, and edit documents with a single user action such as a click. Advantageously, the teachings of embodiments as described can be used in conjunction with content management systems for improving the user experiences involved in editing documents by providing an ‘instant’ and ‘seamless’ editing experience substantially equivalent to editing files on a local hard disk.

  • System for providing acoustic signals
    Patent number: 10332388
    Abstract: Described are techniques for determining whether a received audio signal is corrupted or a product of noise, prior to decoding the entire signal. An emitted audio signal may include initialization data, which includes a predetermined sequence of symbols, and which precedes encoded payload data. Correspondence between the predetermined sequence of symbols and expected symbols stored as confirmation data may be determined. If the correspondence indicates a match, an audio receiver may continue decoding the audio signal to access the payload data. If the correspondence does not indicate a match, the audio receiver may cease decoding, which may conserve power, computing resources, and time, ensuring that subsequent audio signals are not missed while the audio receiver decodes a false or corrupted signal.

  • Energy management system
    Patent number: 10320576
    Abstract: Described are systems to manage energy distribution and operation of computing devices (“devices”). The devices may connect to a shared data and power distribution system, such as receiving electrical energy in conjunction with data signals using Power over Ethernet (POE). During activation of the facility, such as after an energy outage, the demand for energy from many devices attempting to startup may exceed the energy capacity available. Described are devices and techniques for distributing energy to devices, coordinating operating mode of the devices, and so forth, to mitigate demand spikes for electrical energy that exceed the capacity of the energy distribution system.

  • Allocating shared memory among multiple tasks in a multiprocessor environment
    Patent number: 10289330
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method and system for efficiently sharing limited memory among multiple processors. Each processor has a local linked list. The local linked list identifies the pages allocated to the specific processor as well as the number of free codewords for each allocated page. Additionally, the local linked list includes the location of the next free codeword(s) for each allocated page. When all codewords are available, the page is considered free and may be sent back to the page pool used by all of the processors. If there are a sufficient number of contiguous free codewords on an allocated page, then new codeword data may be stored in the page. If there is not a sufficient number of contiguous free codewords on any allocated page, then a new page is allocated from the page pool. Thus, efficient allocate of memory resources is achieved.
