  • Patent number: 10445121
    Abstract: A computer system receives a request to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) in a first target cloud and a second target cloud. The target clouds operate with different configuration parameters. The system modifies a generic VM disk image that is not formatted for the first or second target cloud to create a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the first target cloud and a cloud-formatted VM disk image for the second target cloud. The first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the first target cloud configuration parameters, and the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image is based on the second target cloud configuration parameters. The system instantiates a VM in the first target cloud using the first target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image and a VM in the second target cloud using the second target cloud cloud-formatted VM disk image.

  • Patent number: 8640055
    Abstract: Items in a hierarchy may be displayed in an outline view, where each item at a hierarchy level is presented in a separate line, or as condensed hierarchy lines. A condensed hierarchy line displays two or more related items in a single line. Condensed hierarchy lines present the context of items in a hierarchy in reduced display area as compared with outline views. Users may add or remove items from condensed hierarchy lines using any type of input. Each portion of a condensed hierarchy line represents a different item at a different level of the hierarchy. Items in the condensed hierarchy line may include active user interface elements. Users or applications may define multiple condensed hierarchy lines as needed from arbitrary groups of items in adjacent hierarchy levels. Multiple condensed hierarchy lines can be used to show context for sibling relationships between items.

  • Patent number: 8462735
    Abstract: Multiple simultaneous associations with Wireless Access Points (WAPs) may be formed by a given wireless client to enable handoffs between the WAPs to be accelerated and, optionally, to enable both WAPs to provide simultaneous wireless services to the wireless client. Upon forming a primary association with one WAP the wireless client scans for beacon signals from other WAPs. Upon detecting another WAP, the wireless client transmits a Request To Send (RTS) message to the new WAP indicating the identity of the primary WAP. The wireless client may also identify the new WAP to the primary WAP using a RTS message. The primary and secondary WAPs exchange information so that, in the event of a handoff, the required information has already been shared with the new WAP. Optionally, the several WAPs may provide simultaneous service to the wireless client.
