The sensor may comprise an inertial measurement unit and/or a combination of tri-axial accelerometer, tri-axial goniometer, and tri-axial magnetometer.

Abstract: A transaction is identified in a transaction processing system. An identifier value is generated for the transaction based on a concatenation of a unique sequence value and an identifier offset value. The transaction is processed by using the identifier value as a database primary key in a database of the transaction processing system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of forming a semiconductor device forms gate trenches in a semiconductor substrate. A portion of the material between the trenches is narrowed and another material is formed on sidewalls of the narrowed portion that is substantially not etched by an etchant that etches the material of the portion of the material between the trenches. Source and gate contact openings are formed together.

Abstract: One or more processors initiate generation of an identifier based on the definitions of both a primary range and a secondary range. One or more processors obtain a unique sequence value from a unique sequence range of known maximum number of values. One or more processors determine an offset value based on, at least in part, the primary range and the secondary range. One or more processors add the offset value to the unique sequence value to generate an identifier value. Processing a transaction using the identifier value as a database primary key in a database of a transaction processing system.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that cause the processor to classify files stored on a source storage into files for deletion and files for migration based on a storage policy and meta-data, generate aliases to link the files classified for migration to a location on a target storage, copy the files classified for migration from the source storage to the linked location on the target storage, and determine whether the files copied onto the target storage are identical to the files classified for migration on the source storage using a digital key. In response to a determination that the copied files are identical to the files classified for migration, the processor may activate the generated aliases and may decommission the source storage.

Abstract: This methodology is developed to help users thoroughly analyze private investment portfolios that requires minimal information from the user, as little as the Private Fund names in the portfolio of private investments by extrapolating information about the funds as a whole. The methodology automatically analyzes a Portfolio's composition across many Private Fund characteristics; generates benchmarks for a specific type of investor; compares investor's Portfolio to a benchmark; formulate investment recommendations; estimates the secondary market price of the Portfolio; determines the leveragability of the Portfolio; and generates divestment ideas. The main steps involved in the methodology including: construction of databases for investment information, investor information, benchmarks, and lenders information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for allowing users in a group, e.g., family members, to share a telephone number while using different devices, e.g., IP devices, are described. The methods and apparatus allow for users in a group to obtain individual presence information for members of the group by making a single request for presence information corresponding to members of the group. In some embodiments, in response to the single request, the requesting device will be supplied with individual presence information for each member of the group to which the request corresponds. The presence information may be received in individual communications, e.g., one individual message providing presence information on a user of the group. Alternatively presence information for the individual members of the group may be included in a single message that is sent to the requesting device.

Abstract: Unlike publicly traded securities, current information and documents on private investments are not often in the public domain. Also, a typical private investment has a small existing or potential investor base worldwide. Further, institutional and private investors in private investments rarely publicize or disclose their interest or investments in private investments. In addition, at any given time only a small number of relevant institutional investors or analysts are likely to be interested in buying, selling or diligencing a specific private investment. Anonymously gaining access to such information or finding contacts willing to collaborate on diligence research, buying or selling and analysis of any specific private investment is likely to be onerous if not impossible.

Abstract: Closed ended private investment Funds may require liquidity rating as those Funds are not readily traded on any exchange or alternative trading system, but traded on limited access market. A new social media mechanism allows assigning liquidity rating to closed ended private investment funds based on potential institutional buyers interest, potential institutional buyers' capacity and Funds' restrictions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming trench and a dielectric layer along surfaces of the trench. A shield electrode is formed in a lower portion of the trench and the dielectric layer is removed from upper sidewall surfaces of the trench. A gate dielectric layer is formed along the upper surfaces of the trench. Oxidation-resistant spacers are formed along the gate dielectric layer. Thereafter, an interpoly dielectric layer is formed above the shield electrode using localized oxidation. The oxidation step increases the thickness of lower portions of the gate dielectric layer. The oxidation-resistant spacers are removed before forming a gate electrode adjacent the gate dielectric layer.
