  • Patent number: 10652091
    Abstract: Personalization data such as settings and/or state is migrated across devices including mobile phones. Device personalizations are pushed to a cloud service or other mechanism for backup and subsequent transmission to other devices. The personalization data can later be employed to configure one or more other devices in the same manner as a first device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9003173
    Abstract: A system that facilitates different levels of operating system (OS) boot so as to provide users with rapid access to certain mobile device functionalities, security, applications, etc. is provided. An OS can be loaded in phases or stages commensurate with policies, preferences, actions, context, etc. Similarly, a particular OS or group of OSs can be loaded to address a particular scenario or requirement.

  • Patent number: 8742054
    Abstract: A hybrid resin composition is described, the composition comprising: A. An A part composition comprising an aliphatic polyfunctional isocyanate compound and a free radical polymerization initiator; and B. A B part composition comprising an ethylenically unsaturated, substantially water-free polyester polyol and a polyurethane catalyst. The A part composition can contain a non-interfering solvent, e.g., styrene, and the B part composition typically has an acid value of 5 or less (based on solids). For outdoor use, the B part composition is preferably free of tertiary hydrogens, ether glycols and terephthalic acid residues.

  • Patent number: 8306945
    Abstract: A method, system and medium for organizing and associating log records into logically related groups is described. One or more input sources from, possibly, different systems/subsystems are input to a log correlation method. As the log records are processed the fields are interrogated to determine which log records are related to each other. As further log records are processed more information about previously unidentifiable relationships is determined. After this later information is known, log records that could previously not be associated with any other log records are added to the existing association. The system engineer is therefore presented with the pertinent information for monitoring, administrating and diagnosing system activities.

  • Patent number: 7818754
    Abstract: A system and method for logging events processed by an operating system is provided. The events logged can include interrupt and non-interrupt events, and can include user-defined events. Information concerning the interrupt events is initially written, during event handling time, into a first buffer while information concerning non-interrupt events is initially written, during event handling time, into a second buffer. Information from the two buffers is then written to a third buffer not during event handling time. Separating the interrupt event buffer from the non-interrupt event buffer rather than having one buffer, and writing relatively small amounts of data during event handling time to memory, rather than transporting data to slower non-memory mapped devices allows the event logger to be less intrusive and facilitates greater accuracy in event logging.

  • Patent number: 7707551
    Abstract: A cross-platform development system includes a computing device that generates an image of an operating system, and a software development peripheral connected to the computing device that runs the operating system corresponding to the image. The software development peripheral communicates information, such as image data, generated by the operating system back to the computing device where the information is displayed on a display device connected to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 7631031
    Abstract: A data communication system is configured to communicatively link a host device and a client device with a point-to-point data communication link, where the point-to-point data communication link is configured with multipoint network data communication components designed for data communication over a distributed network. A data communication interface at the host device is communicatively linked with a data communication interface driver via the point-to-point data communication link between the host device and the client device. The data communication interface driver communicates with a virtual driver component for the client device via a virtual network at the client device.
