Abstract: A method of measuring morphological characteristics of a laser annealed film having a crystalline structure, which is defined by at least one row of side-to-side positioned grains each having a length (Lg), which is uniform for the grains, and width (Wg), wherein a length of the row (Lr) corresponds to a cumulative width Wg of the grains and creates a diffraction of various orders of diffraction, the method includes generating a monochromatic light; training the monochromatic light onto a surface of the laser annealed film at an angle varying in a range between 0° (incident) and grazing angles; and measuring variations of properties of the monochromatic light diffracted from the surface, thereby measuring the morphological characteristics of the laser annealed film along the length (Lr) of the one row.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a call to action at the end of a resource. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request for media content to present on a user device, the request including a second request for third-party content to present with the media content, identifying, user device capabilities that describes information about system compatibility for the user device, determining third-party content to present with the media, the third-party content including a first presentation time duration indicative of a length of time the third-party content is presented, determining that an end cap is compatible with the user device and related to the third-party content, the end cap providing an interactive opportunity to request subsequent resources for the user device, and transmitting data to present the third-party content, the end cap, and the media.

Abstract: Streaming data from a plurality of streaming data sources can be received. The streaming data may not be stored in persistent storage. A query can be received from a client device. A rule can be defined based on the query. The rule can be applied to the streaming data. Alerts associated with a subset of the streaming data that matches the rule can be stored in persistent storage. A signal associated with the alerts can be sent to the client device such that the graphical user interface is updated based on the alerts.

Abstract: Application services gateways that execute electronic application programs/services allows the application programs/services to be managed and administered out of a network rather than locally. The application services gateways are elements in a services delivery system that execute application programs/services that control or otherwise interact with systems and devices of a home or business such as a heating and cooling system or a security system. The application services gateways have a LAN connection to a communication gateway that in turn communicates over a WAN to a remote services gateway. The remote services gateway channels data from a remote service platform to provide application programs/services and management services over the WAN to the communications gateway where it is then channeled to the application services gateways.

Abstract: Communication environment switchover may be provided. A received signal strength level may be determined corresponding to a signal sent from a first device and received at a second device. The received signal strength level may be measured at the second device. In addition, the first device may be re-provisioned. For example, the first device may be re-provisioned to communicate in a second environment if the first device is provisioned to communicate in a first environment and if the received signal strength level is greater than a first threshold value. Furthermore, the first device to be re-provisioned to communicate in the first environment if the first device is provisioned to communicate in the second environment and if the received signal strength level is less than a second threshold value. The second threshold value may be less than the first threshold value.

Abstract: A home applications gateway includes a residential gateway interface that is configured to connect to a residential gateway, and a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that includes an Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) framework configured to execute OSGi Java applications that are downloaded and life cycle managed from a Web server through the residential gateway interface. The OSGi Java applications can include a video monitoring application that is configured to provide in-home and out-of-home access to Internet Protocol (IP)-based home video cameras and video files captured by the IP-based home video cameras, at a Web page. The OSGi Java applications can further include a lighting control application that is configured to control activation and deactivation of home lighting from the Web page. The OSGi Java applications can also include a home monitoring and control application that is configured to monitor home sensors and take action upon their activation.
