Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for efficient navigation, location, tracking, and collocation of assets in electronic communication networks, which includes mutual tracking of target assets and tracking assets, reducing frequency and duration of radio transmission and reception of data, reducing the need for and frequency of GNSS (e.g. GPS) fixes and other power-hungry radio-based location sensing, predicting future movements of assets, and actions based on adherence to predictions of future movements of assets. Specifically, the computer-implemented system and method relates to the general use of positioning information of a second asset at a first asset to affect when the first asset obtains a NSS (i.e. a GPS) location estimate (also called a fix). The first asset can be either a tracking or a target asset, or both assets simultaneously track each other.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for search and navigation on a network to find and display specific search identified information in documents. Queries are sent to search engine services and responses comprising snippets are returned. Then, in response to only one or a few user inputs, documents are opened and locations of content matching or best matching the snippets are found reliably and distinguished in a display.

Abstract: The present invention provides a surface acoustic wave sensor capable of suitably controlling the flow of a liquid sample onto IDT electrodes. A surface acoustic wave sensor 1 has a piezoelectric substrate, a first IDT electrode and a second IDT electrode which are located on the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate and are separated from each other while sandwiching a detection part (detection region) on the piezoelectric substrate there between, and the cover which forms the space being on the first IDT electrode, second IDT electrode, and detection part and straddling them. On the lower surface of the cover, the detection part-facing surface (lower surface of the film) facing the detection part has a smaller contact angle to the liquid sample than that of a pair of electrode-facing surfaces (lower surface of the cover body) facing the first IDT electrode and second IDT electrode.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide methods and architectures for enhancing the reliability of computer appliances and reducing the possibilities that human intervention is necessary in the event of a system failure or failure condition. The provided architecture is extensible and provides a generalized framework that is adaptable to many different types of computer appliances. One aspect of the invention provides a boot up redundancy component to ensure that a computer appliance can be appropriately booted. In the described embodiment the appliance hard drive is configured with multiple partitions that can be utilized to boot the appliance thereby reducing the chances that the appliance will not boot. In addition, an architecture is disclosed that comprises one or more resource monitoring components that monitor an associated appliance resource for a failure condition. The resource monitoring components are programmed to attempt to remedy certain failure conditions that they detect.

Abstract: A method for dynamically reducing latency over a communications network independent of the Real Time Protocol. The method including determining the completion of processing of a next data block and the determination of the number of samples remaining in a queue of a consuming device of the next data block. Without knowing the latency of the system a determination is made on the variability based on the number of samples remaining in the queue of the consuming device. A determination is then made as to whether the remaining number of samples in the queue of the consuming device can be reduced based upon the variability and if so reducing the queue of the consuming device.
