  • Publication number: 20130191339
    Abstract: Recognizing cloud content techniques are described herein. A designated storage location for cloud content corresponding to a service is registered locally at a device. Files stored in association with the registered storage location may be recognized as cloud content of the corresponding service. The recognized cloud content may be handled in various ways to customize the user experience and tailor interaction with cloud content. For example, icons or other visual identifiers may be used within device, operating system and/or application user interfaces to represent an association of files with a particular service based on recognition of the files as cloud content. Additionally, a registered storage location for a device may be employed to obtain relative paths to files that may be used to roam file activity lists between different devices.

  • Patent number: 8320203
    Abstract: A method and system to lower the minimum operating voltage of a register file without increasing the area of each bit cell of the register file. In one embodiment of the invention, the register file is coupled to logic that reduces the contention between the NMOS devices and the PMOS devices in each bit cell of the register file during write and/or read operations of the register file. By doing so, the register file is able to operate at a lower minimum operating voltage.

  • Patent number: 8310947
    Abstract: Techniques described herein generally relate to systems, devices and methods for determining a wireless access point for a communications device in a wireless network. In some examples, the communications device may be assigned to a default wireless access unit in response to a request from the communications device for wireless access, where the default wireless access unit may provide the communications device with wireless access. A default wireless access unit may be arranged to monitor the network activity of the communications device to determine if the network activity satisfies a pre-determined condition, where the communications device may be re-assigned to an adaptive wireless access unit when the pre-determined condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8126486
    Abstract: A method of providing signal coverage in a wireless network includes establishing communications between a first wireless access unit and a second wireless access unit. In response to a communications device, the first wireless access unit weighting factor is modified to provide the communications device with optimal signal coverage. The first radiation weighting factor is transmitted to the second wireless access unit, which modifies its own weighting factor to provide the communications device with sufficient signal coverage.

  • Publication number: 20110087515
    Abstract: A cognitive interactive mission planning system including an adversarial planning engine configured to execute an adversarial planning model in order to develop one or more plans for one or more controlled agents based on possible actions of one or more uncontrolled agents to provide a plurality of plans which includes a best plan for the one or more controlled agents in each of the one or more possible worlds based on a scoring function. A cognitive behavior engine may be configured to execute a cognitive behavior model which predicts the likelihood the one or more controlled agents and/or the one or more uncontrolled agents will take one or more of the possible actions in a particular situation. A problem solver engine may be configured to query the adversarial planning engine and the cognitive behavior engine to develop a conditional mission plan which provides solutions to the user defined mission goals and problems.

  • Publication number: 20100211304
    Abstract: Methods and systems of personalizing navigation for a user on a computer system are generally disclosed. Example methods and systems can be arranged for evaluating user observation data received from a navigation device remote from the computer system over a network includes receiving, at the computer system, the user observation data and a route request associated with the user. A user identity associated with the route request can be determined based at least in part on the received user observation data. One or more preferences can be evaluated to select a specific preference associated with the user identity. A route can be compiled, on a processing module, based at least in part on the specific preference. The compiled route can be provided over the network to the navigation device.

  • Patent number: 7571173
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a target database on a target platform based on a source database on a source platform is provided. A target database is created on the target platform based on data, metadata (for example, data in the system tablespace and control files), and external objects (for example, password files and externally stored tables) comprised within the source database. Data and metadata stored in tablespaces of the source database are converted to the format compatible with the target platform. The conversion of the data and metadata may be performed either at the source database or the target database. Redo information and undo information of the source database are not copied from the source database to the target database. Certain files, e.g., a password files, and links to externally stored object may be recreated on the target database.

  • Patent number: 7038207
    Abstract: Diffraction which is used to measure features on a substrate layer is disclosed. A substrate, such as a mask structure for microelectronics or a semiconductor substrate with reflective or transmissive features, is irradiated by a source emitting radiation of known wavelength at an angle of incidence relative to the substrate. Given a known pitch, the width of the features themselves is measured by analyzing a diffraction pattern by computer after capturing characteristics of the pattern with a detector.

  • Patent number: 7027547
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel scheme to match the clock rates along a single transmission channel. The rate matching aspect of this invention receives a character stream synchronized by a first clock and buffers the character streams. Buffered characters are then transmitted over an output channel synchronized by a second clock. The rate matching system removes one or more filler or removable characters from the output channel if an overflow condition is detected and inserts one or more filler or removable characters in the output channel if an underflow condition is detected.

  • Patent number: 6977067
    Abstract: Provided is a method of generating a hydrogen-rich reformate from a hydrocarbon feed stream comprising olefins and alkanes (e.g., LPG). An inlet gas stream containing the hydrocarbon feed stream and an oxygen containing gas stream, is preheated to a temperature of from 180 to 300° C. The preheated inlet gas stream is then contacted with a sulfur tolerant partial oxidation catalyst to form a pre-reformed gas stream, which is preferably maintained below about 400° C. The pre-reformed gas stream is then subjected to a reforming process to form the hydrogen-rich reformate.

  • Patent number: 6959015
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel scheme to align data streams across multiple transmission channels and match multiple transmissions with one receiving rate. The channel aligning aspect of this invention detects the occurrence of an aligning character in a plurality of input channel character streams, buffers the character stream until an aligning character has been detected on every input channel. The channel aligning system transmits filler characters over every output channel corresponding to an input channel where an aligning character has been received if an aligning character has not been detected on every input channel. The aligning system then synchronously transmits the buffered characters, starting with the aligning character and proceeding with the subsequently received characters. The rate matching aspect of this invention receives a plurality of character streams synchronized by a first clock and buffers the character streams.

  • Patent number: 6924070
    Abstract: Method and structure for masking are disclosed. In one embodiment, a thin layer of radiation sensitive material is combined with another layer of radiation opaque material with different etch selectivity to facilitate a multi-stage patterning treatment of an underlying mask layer and a resultant critical dimension in the patterned mask which may be less than that available using conventional patterning techniques.
