Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing data ingestion. Aspects of the invention include a pluggable architecture channel service (e.g., a push/pull channel service) to ingest raw data. Aspects of the invention also include a pluggable architecture formatter to convert ingested raw data into a common format, such as, for example, key value pairs. Aspects of the invention also include an EAV storage with functionality allowing consumers to define multiple entities on (and spanning) ingested data sets. Accordingly, data can be ingested without data loss, without having to define extraction logic, and without having to define a storage schema.

Abstract: A system and method for rate-adaptation of a video telephony (VT) session is disclosed. In one example, there is provided a method that includes receiving a first information set indicative of a start of a handover of a device from a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) to a second RAT. The method further includes receiving a second information set indicative of an end of the handover. The method further includes adjusting a rate-adaptation protocol for the VT session based at least in part on the first and second information sets.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for IMS based WWAN-WLAN mobility are described. A user equipment (UE) may generate channel quality metrics and media performance metrics for a source radio access technology (RAT). The UE may then select a state for the source RAT metrics. The UE may also generate channel quality metrics for a target RAT and select a state for the target RAT. The UE may make a handover decision based on the states of the RATs and on priority levels for the RATs.

Abstract: A method of forming an IC is presented. The method includes providing a substrate having a plurality of transistors formed thereon. The transistors have gate stack, source and drain regions. An electrical strap is formed and in contact with at least a portion of at least one sidewall of the gate stack of a first transistor to provide a continuous electrical flowpath over a gate electrode of the first transistor and the source or drain region of a second transistor.

Abstract: A display apparatus for displaying digital images includes a first housing, a second housing, a hinge, a digital image source and a plurality of display units. The hinge is coupled to the first housing and the second housing, and allows the first housing and the second housing to rotate with respect to each other. The digital image source is for supplying a plurality of digital images. The plurality of display units are positioned on the first housing and the second housing, respectively, are coupled to the digital image source, and display the plurality of digital images supplied by the digital image source.
