  • Publication number: 20090274284
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for presenting differentiated calling party identifiers representative of a calling party to various called parties based on the identifier information for a particular called party. The differentiated calling party identifier that is conveyed to a called party may be selected from a list of calling party identifiers associated with the calling party. The system receives an indication of an attempt to initiate a call by a calling party which includes identifier information indicative of the called party, determines a calling party identifier to be conveyed to the called party based on the identifier information indicative of the called party and causes an appropriate calling party identifier to be conveyed in association with the initiated call.

  • Patent number: 7249352
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products for removal of elements from a linked list while other elements of the linked list are allowed to be accessed during the removal operation. In one embodiment, the method, apparatus and computer program product include identifying an add/remove area of a linked list and a static area of the linked list. Elements may only be added or removed from the linked list in the add/remove area or by a garbage collector that performs garbage collection only on elements in the static area of the linked list. The garbage collector identifies an element after the last element in the add/remove area and performs garbage collection beginning with that element and moving through the static area. In an alternative embodiment, a “next element” pointer in a previous list element is set to point to the element being deleted's “next element” pointer. Any global references to the element being deleted must be modified.

  • Publication number: 20050088303
    Abstract: A tamper sensing circuit is provided for an electrical device wherein an enclosure may be opened to access data by a user that does not possess the ability to achieve normal access by satisfying data security measures such as use of a password. A screw used to secure enclosure halves together is connected by a conductive coating at the enclosure member surface into which the screw is threaded to connect a tamper sensing circuit to the device ground potential. A tamper sensing circuit output node is maintained at the circuit ground potential as long as the screw is in electrical contact with the enclosure conductive coating. When the screw is disengaged from the enclosure member threaded opening, the output node is no longer grounded and rises to a supplied electrical potential indicating tampering and enabling appropriate corrective action.

  • Publication number: 20050023311
    Abstract: A shoulder strap for carrying a notebook computer is formed as an elongated member with a locking mechanism at a first end which attaches to the lock slot of the computer and a loop at the opposite end. By passing the strap through the loop, the opposite end portion of the strap is positioned around the computer adjacent the side opposite the side which includes the lock slot. With the first end of the strap secured to the computer by securing the locking mechanism at the computer lock slot, the intermediate portion of the strap extends over the users shoulder to enable transport of the computer. By forming the strap using a plastic coated steel cable, the shoulder strap may be used for both carrying the computer and as a security cable for securing the computer when unattended. The shoulder strap surfaces that engage the user's shoulder and surround and engage the notebook computer are formed of non-adhesive, non-slip material.

  • Patent number: 6754788
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, method and computer program product for privatizing operating system data. With the apparatus, method and computer program product of the present invention, a block of memory is allocated and divided into identical, smaller, properly aligned storage areas, each dedicated to a single processor in a multiprocessor system. The storage areas are allocated either initially when the system is initialized or on an as needed basis. Each sub-allocation request is made to use storage at the same location relative to the start of that processor's storage space. Because each processor's storage is isomorphic to all other processors, only one allocation record for all processors is needed, thereby reducing the overhead of the data privatization scheme. By allocating memory in this manner, cache line contention is minimized.

  • Patent number: 6662793
    Abstract: A circuit for providing a follow-on current between the electrodes of a traveling spark ignitor after an initial break down between the electrodes has occurred is disclosed. The circuit may include first and second portions which, respectively, provide first and second voltages to the ignitor. The first portion may be a conventional ignition circuit. The second portion provides the follow-on current. The second portion may provide the follow-on current as a single discharge or as a multi-stage discharge.

  • Patent number: 4959112
    Abstract: The invention provides for placing a material to be scribed in a gaseous atmosphere and contacting the surface of the material with a non-cutting heated tip. The heated tip is rounded to prevent cutting and is moved relative to the material. The tip is heated during the scribing operation, either continuously at a prescribed level, or discontinuously in order to maintain the average temperature at a prescribed level.
