Abstract: A method creates cover pages for news themes, topics, and stories, with elements to allow viewing more information from the theme, topic, or story. A database of stories is provided, comprising text, images, and possibly other web-accessible content. For a theme-based cover page, a theme is selected, and topics relevant to that theme are chosen. Search strings generated from the topics are used to search the database for matching stories. Representative images for the matching stories are then chosen from the database, and headlines are created based on the story content. For a topic-based cover page, a topic is selected and is used to search the database for matching stories. The cover page, comprising the image and information about the theme, topic, or story, is then created and displayed, with clickable elements to view more information about the theme, topic, or story.

Abstract: A portable computer docking station comprises a cradle coupled to a docking base where the cradle is adapted to receive a portable computer. The docking station also comprises a wireless receiver adapted to communicate a wireless input signal received by the docking station to the portable computer.

Abstract: A visual clipboard system and method are provided, in which drag-and-release operations are employed to move copies of a displayed object onto and off of a predefined clipboard area. When a copy of a displayed object is placed on the predefined clipboard area, the displayed object is visually modified to indicate that the visually-modified copy is docked on the predefined clipboard area, and thus eligible for use in a copy operation. When a copy is removed from the predefined clipboard area and placed in a desired target location, the original appearance of the displayed object is restored.

Abstract: A secure mobile wireless device in which executable code to be installed on the device is assigned a set of capabilities which define the protected resource(s) on the device which it can access. Hence, the present invention takes the idea of capabilities (known in the context of defining the capabilities or access privileges of different users in a multi-user system) and applies it to defining the capabilities or access privileges of different native executable code for secure, single-user mobile wireless devices.

Abstract: A microcircuit package having a ductile layer between a copper flange and die attach. The ductile layer absorbs the stress between the flange and semiconductor device mounted on the flange, and can substantially reduce the stress applied to the semiconductor device. In addition, the package provides the combination of copper flange and polymeric dielectric with a TCE close to copper, which results in a low stress structure of improved reliability and conductivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), or salts or solvates thereof, their use in the manufacture of medicaments for treating neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, in particular psychoses, dementia or attention deficit disorder. The invention further comprises processes to make these compounds and pharmaceutical formulations thereof.

Abstract: Stories are organized and displayed by themes. Theme names are created and topic names are chosen for the theme names. For each topic name, topic search strings are created. A database of stories is search for stories matching the topic search strings. At least some of the matching stories are displayed as a single web page. The single web page displays the matching stories according to themes and topic names.

Abstract: A method determines and displays the geographic location of a plurality of articles. At least one geographic location of each of the plurality of articles is determined. The determining includes extracting entities of the article, determining which extracted entities are places entities, determining a geographic location of each of the places entities, and attributing the geographic location of each of the places entities with the article. A map is created. The map comprises a geographic map. A plurality of clickable markers are displayed on the map. The clickable markers correspond to the geographic locations of the plurality of articles. Attributes of the markers may be modified. When a marker is clicked on, a web page may be instantly published, the web page comprising articles having a geographic location of the marker that was clicked on.

Abstract: Data held in physical memory, such as random access memory, in a computing device is defragmented when a system operating code null thread, which is used for placing the computing device into a reduced power mode when no other thread in the system is ready to run, is scheduled to run.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a connector configured to be coupled to an external device, the connector configured to be disposed flush with an opening in a housing of the computer device in an extended position, the connector configured to retract from the opening in a retracted position.

Abstract: Embodiments for interfacing between a computer and audio/video equipment are provided. One embodiment comprises a cable that includes a docking cable having a docking connector for communicating signals to and from a computer, an output cable, the output cable having at least one audio/video connector, and an interface module. The interface module is coupled to the docking cable and the output cable. The interface module includes at least one infrared receiver for receiving input to be transmitted to the computer over the docking cable. The interface module provides a path for communicating signals from the docking cable to the at least one audio/video connector. Other embodiments comprise media cables, docking stations and cable management devices that enable interfacing between a computer and audio/video equipment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus manage heat in exhaust gas in an aftertreatment system that employs a lean NOx adsorber. A de-sulfation hot line and cooling line are employed to control exhaust gas temperatures for adsorption, regeneration and de-sulfation cycles of the aftertreatment system where each cycle can require different chemical and exhaust gas temperatures independent of the engine operation. The method and apparatus include a SOx adsorber to provide greater system durability.
