Patent number: 8200872Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for deterministic Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface (SAS) discovery and configuration. The method includes transmitting a Serial Management Protocol (SMP) DISCOVER Request from a node of a SAS domain to each expander of the SAS domain. The method further includes receiving SMP DISCOVER Responses at the node from each expander of the SAS domain. The method further includes comparing BROADCAST (CHANGE) RECEIVED (BCR) counts provided in each of the received SMP DISCOVER Responses to stored BCR counts, said stored BCR counts having been recorded and stored by the node prior to said transmitting of said SMP DISCOVER Request. The method further includes updating the stored BCR counts based upon said received BCR counts. The method further includes selectively transmitting a second SMP DISCOVER Request from the node to at least one, but not all of the expanders of the SAS domain.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Steve Johnson, Owen Parry

Publication number: 20110246978Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatus for managing software components on a device when transferring device management responsibilities for the device from a first device management server to a second device management server. The capability to change device management servers while coordinating changes to software components on a managed device may be referred to as application portability. A mobile device in the present disclosure may change device management providers while maintaining access to certain licensed applications managed by a device management server. In an embodiment, a proprietary software component may be removed and a replacement software component installed from a category of applications that comprises the removed proprietary software component and the installed replacement software component.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Nicholas Patrick Alfano, Axel Ferrazzini, Christopher David Smith, Jason Lee Carter, David James Clarke, Salim Hayder Omar, James Andrew Godfrey, Thomas Owen Parry

Publication number: 20110246428Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management (DM) are provided. An embodiment provides a method in which a mobile device is configured for: accumulating delta records on the mobile device; and pushing delta records to a DM server when a threshold for the delta records is met or exceeded. The delta records relate to changes made to an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management (DM) tree. The delta records may be purged after the pushing operation. Other embodiments provide a mobile device and computer-readable medium for performing or facilitating the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2011Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Nicholas Patrick ALFANO, Thomas Owen PARRY

Patent number: 8031909Abstract: The present invention provides a system (method and apparatus) for creating photorealistic 3D models of environments and/or objects from a plurality of stereo images obtained from a mobile stereo camera and optional monocular cameras. The cameras may be handheld, mounted on a mobile platform, manipulator or a positioning device. The system automatically detects and tracks features in image sequences and self-references the stereo camera in 6 degrees of freedom by matching the features to a database to track the camera motion, while building the database simultaneously. A motion estimate may be also provided from external sensors and fused with the motion computed from the images. Individual stereo pairs are processed to compute dense 3D data representing the scene and are transformed, using the estimated camera motion, into a common reference and fused together. The resulting 3D data is represented as point clouds, surfaces, or volumes.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Inc.Inventors: Shuen Yan Stephen Se, Piotr Jasiobedzki, David Owen Parry, Roy Henry Jakola

Publication number: 20110072421Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for updating a software bundle installed on a mobile electronic device via a computing device are provided. The computing device is enabled for communication with the mobile electronic device via a local connection, and further enabled for communication with at least one server storing software bundle data, via a communication network. Device configuration data is received, at the computing device, from the mobile electronic device via the local connection. At least a portion of the device configuration data is transmitted from the computing device to the at least one server. At least a portion is compared to the software bundle data to identify software modules for updating the software bundle. A first subset of the software modules to be added to the software bundle and a second subset of the software modules to be removed from the software bundle are determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2009Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Thomas Owen PARRY, Spencer Leavitt George Quin, Timothy Richard Tyhurst, Paul Edward Landry

Publication number: 20100064060Abstract: An input port is assigned to a SAS expander device. An output port is assigned to the SAS expander device. The output port and the input port are defined to be paired with each other as a primary subtractive port. Only a SAS initiator address is programmed in the route table of the SAS expander. An OPEN command is sent out the output port upon receiving the OPEN command into the input port if the DEST of the OPEN command is not a direct attached device of the SAS expander device and the DEST is not in the route table of the SAS expander device. An OPEN command is sent out the input port upon receiving the OPEN command into the output port if the DEST of the OPEN command is not a direct attached device of the SAS expander device and the DEST is not in the route table of the SAS expander device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Inventors: Stephen B.
