Abstract: An XY planar system having a base is disclosed. The base has a surface defining an XY plane, the XY plane has an X axis and a Y axis. An X guide coupled to the base. A first set of three main bearings riding on the surface and configured to constrain a Y stage in a Z direction perpendicular to the XY plane and to rotationally constrain the Y stage in an ? and ? directions where ? is rotation about the X axis and ? is rotation about the Y axis. The Y stage is coupled to the X guide and the X guide linearly constrains the motion of the Y stage along the Y axis and constrains the angular motion of the Y stage in the ? direction, where ? is rotation about the Z axis. The Y stage is configured to travel along the X guide in the X direction. A second set of three main bearings are coupled to the XY plane and configured to linearly support a carriage in the Z direction and to rotationally constrain the carriage in the ? and ? directions.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing event information in a logical partitioned data processing system. A determination is made as to whether an event for a resource is present in a first event log in a first partition in response to reallocation of the resource from the first partition to a second partition. In response to the event being present, the event is placed in a second event log in the second partition. As a result, analysis of the second event log in the second partition takes into account the event from the first partition.

Abstract: A view controller, such as a scroll bar, for a first application which is currently displayed within an inactive window is detached and remotely displayed within an active window in addition to the view controller associated with the content of that active window. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) link is then established between the remotely displayed view controller and the first application such that user inputs to the remotely displayed view controller can be utilized to modify the display of the first application without requiring the user to activate the inactive window. In this manner data within the first application can be scrolled and visually accessed by the user while the user is working within an active window, without requiring the user to toggle the focus back and forth between two windows.

Abstract: The E-mail sender's address book is safeguarded from computer virus intrusion with only minimal interference with normal E-mail distribution from the sender. Complete encryption of the address book create interference with the send function in that before any E-mail function may be started, the address book must be accessed and decrypted even when the E-mail being sent does involve the address book. However, the address book may be safeguarded from the computer virus with minimum E-mail interference if only a part of the address book is encrypted. There is stored the unencrypted data representative of a plurality of aliases for plurality of addressees of electronic mail, and separately stored encrypted data representative of the electronic mail addresses of said plurality of addressees. In response to a request to send electronic mail to one of said aliases, the entry of the key to decrypt the encrypted data is required to thereby provide the address of the addressee having said alias.

Abstract: Advanced computer hibernation functions are useful in saving a user's work environment when a user logs off a computer. The current art requires powering off the computer when entering into hibernation, and only allows a user to store a single non-reusable hibernation file for use in restoring operation when the computer is subsequently powered on. The present invention allows hibernation files to be created and stored without requiring a user to power off the computer to enter hibernation mode. Once the hibernation files are created and stored, a user achieves faster shut down of the computer when the user enters into hibernation mode by selecting from one of the existing hibernation files for advanced hibernation mode. Multiple users are allowed to save multiple work environments or files while maintaining privacy regarding each user's work environments by requiring log on identification passwords for each user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for mitigating the mobile phone nuisance factor. The present invention causes a mobile phone to activate an “In-Public-Use” profile when in a public establishment, which has a policy for mobile phone usage. A transmitter in the public establishment broadcasts an external control signal that contains an encoded command. The circuitry, or processor instructions, in a mobile phone decodes the command and activates the profile with the identified settings from the command. When the profile is activated, an icon is displayed indicating that the profile is active. Additionally, the “In-Public-Use” profile is deactivated when the mobile phone leaves the range of the signal and the previous settings of the mobile phone are enabled.

The system is optimized to automate and facilitate operations handled at the intake nodes, while an enterprise level database and software applications are utilized to manage back office functions of the consignment network in an efficient and scalable fashion.

Abstract: A method, system and wireless communications device providing location-based control of wireless communications device features provides security and nuisance avoidance for persons or organizations controlling particular areas in which the devices are not desirable for use. The location of the device is determined by triangulation or via communication of location information from the device, such as GPS information. The services provider determines whether or not the devices are within a controlled area for which features of the device are to be disabled, and disables those features if the device is in such a zone. The service provider maintains a database of zone coordinates and feature sets to disable for each zone. Features that may be disabled include: cameras, text messaging, ringers and/or voice communications. The service provider may also entirely disable a device when the device is located within a particular zone.

Abstract: Minimizing the damaging effects of loud music but with minimal reduction in aesthetic quality of the music. When music presented through an audio is sampled in order to determine average frequency, music having very low average frequencies is predictably likely to be played louder than sampled music having higher average frequencies. This unexpected observation is based upon a human factor, i.e. rock and related music that is ordinarily composed and presented at relatively low frequencies, e.g. 500 to 1000 Hz is likely to be played on the audio system at very high volume because of the tastes of its listeners. An audio system for a data processor controlled presentation of music with a set up for minimizing the damaging effects of loud music comprising an implementation for predetermining a minimum average frequency of music being presented in combination with measuring whether the music being presented falls below said minimum average frequency for a sampling period.
