Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for interfacing with a phone provider in an on-demand service environment. In one embodiment, a proxy server is in communication with a phone system. The phone system provides a phone call and is operated by the phone provider. The proxy server is configured to: receive information from the phone system regarding a phone event in relation to the phone call, and output a message including the phone event information to a data network. A client machine is in communication with the proxy server over the data network and in communication with a data provider separate from the phone provider. The client machine is configured to: receive the message from the proxy server, and display the phone event information in a first part of a user interface in a web browser. A second part of the user interface can display information received from the data provider.

The system can update a subscribed field in a data record when the field is updated and when a user interface is displaying the field in a detail page for a list view. The system can provide a notification of an update for a subscribed field in a data record when the field is updated and when a user interface is displaying the field in a detail page for a list view.

Abstract: An interactive input system comprises a touch surface, and imaging system associated with the touch surface and processing structure. The imaging system comprises an optical sensor array that spans at least a portion of the area of the touch surface, and the processing structure communicates with the imaging system and analyzes images received by the imaging system to determine whether at least one pointer is near to the touch surface and the location of the at least one pointer in respect of the touch surface based at least in part on the edge sharpness of the at least one pointer.

Abstract: An interactive input system comprises an optical waveguide, a radiation source directing radiation into the optical waveguide, the radiation undergoing total internal reflection within the optical waveguide in response to at least one touch input on a surface of the optical waveguide. At least one imaging device is positioned adjacent to the waveguide, the at least one imaging device having a field of view looking inside the optical waveguide and capturing image frames thereof. Processing structure processes the image frames captured by the at least one imaging device to determine a location of the at least one touch input based on a frequency of reflections of the radiation appearing in the image frame.

Abstract: A system and method for providing administrative capabilities in a multi-tenant database system. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a portal for a database system to a user, providing administrative capabilities through the portal, and enabling the user to manage objects in the database system using the administrative capabilities.

Abstract: A system and method for managing entitlements in a multi-tenant database system. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving service level definitions for one or more entitlements, and maintaining the one or more entitlements. The method further includes verifying if one or more users are eligible for the one or more entitlements, and enforcing the one or more entitlements based on the service level definitions.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting a subject's eyes from being exposed to projected light when the subject is positioned in front of a background on which an image is displayed comprises capturing at least one image of the background including the displayed image, processing the captured image to detect the existence of the subject and to locate generally the subject and masking image data used by the projector to project the image corresponding to a region that encompasses at least the subject's eyes.

Abstract: A method of calibrating an interactive input system comprises receiving images of a calibration video presented on a touch panel of the interactive input system. A calibration image is created based on the received images, and features are located in the calibration image. A transformation between the touch panel and the received images is determined based on the located features and corresponding features in the calibration video.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting data and pilot for control information are described. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may spread a reference signal sequence with a first orthogonal sequence to obtain multiple pilot sequences. The UE may then send the multiple pilot sequences on multiple subcarriers in multiple symbol periods, one pilot sequence in each symbol period. The UE may modulate the reference signal sequence with control information (e.g., ACK information) to obtain a modulated sequence. The UE may spread the modulated sequence with a second orthogonal sequence to obtain multiple data sequences. The UE may then send the multiple data sequences on the multiple subcarrier in multiple symbol periods for data. In another aspect, the UE may send multiple pilot sequences on multiple subcarriers in multiple symbol periods separated by at least one symbol period, one pilot sequence in each symbol period.

Abstract: Techniques for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system are described. The system may support acknowledgement (ACK) channels and channel quality indicator (CQI) channels, which may have different target signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The ACK and CQI channels from different user equipments (UEs) may be multiplexed on the same resource block. In one design, the transmit power of a CQI channel may be set to achieve a nominal target SNR for CQI when not multiplexed with the ACK channels and may be reduced to achieve a lower target SNR when multiplexed with the ACK channels. In another design, the transmit power of an ACK channel may be set to achieve a nominal target SNR for ACK when not multiplexed with the CQI channels and may be boosted to achieve a higher target SNR when multiplexed with the CQI channels. The CQI channel may randomly hop to mitigate performance degradation.
