Abstract: A protocol with matching protocol creation and parsing engines on both the client and server facilitates the automatic transfer of data and commands in an autonomous fashion. This protocol and its corresponding engines make up a new services layer software stack that is above the existing application layer in the network stack. The protocol is based on standard HTTP over TCP/IP as the applications, transport, and Internet layers, but adds a means to frame commands and data to allow for any operation to be performed over a single service layer. Protocol creation and parsing engines reside on all clients and the server. The server-side protocol engine runs as a common gateway interface binary within a standard web server. The client-side protocol engine has the communication layer of a standard web browser, but replaces the user interface layers with an API to automate the passing of commands and data to the server protocol engine.

Abstract: In a digital system with a processor coupled to a paged memory system, the memory system may be dynamically configured using a memory compaction manager in order to allow portions of the memory to be placed in a low power mode. As applications are executed by the processor, program instructions are copied from a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor into pages of the paged memory system under control of an operating system. Pages in the paged memory system that are not being used by the processor are periodically identified. The paged memory system is compacted by copying pages that are being used by the processor from a second region of the paged memory into a first region of the paged memory. The second region may be placed in a low power mode when it contains no pages that are being used by the processor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide refresh for local out of range read requests for a memory device are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein provides a read signal to a memory cell. An address is received on row address lines ranging from a most significant bit row address line to a least significant bit row address line. A fixed high logic input is coupled to a first input of a row driver logic device associated with a local out of range address. Logic is provided to send a read enable signal on a bit line coupled to an output of the row driver logic device coupled to the memory cell if the address is the local out of range address.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide refresh when an out of range address is received are disclosed. An example method of providing a refresh signal to a memory cell includes receiving a memory address on address lines ranging from a most significant bit address line to a least significant bit address line. A memory driver logic device is coupled to the memory cell. An out of range logic decoder is coupled to provide a fixed logic input to a first input of the memory driver logic device. Address logic is provided to cause the memory driver logic device to enable the memory cell if the memory address is a local out of range address.

Abstract: A colored contact lens having a very natural appearance is disclosed. The inventive lens has a non-opaque pupil section and iris section that is at least partially opaque and comprised of two portions. A first portion, generally located on the outside of the iris section, has a first shade. A second portion, generally located on the inside of the iris section has a second shade. A jagged border separates the two portions. A third iris section and second jagged border are also disclosed. In some embodiments portions of the iris section may be non-opaque.

Abstract: A process for molding hydrophilic contact lenses comprising the steps of providing lens forming liquid comprising hydrophilic monomer mixed with solvent and polymerizing the liquid between two mold halves. The improvement comprises substantially removing the solvent by evaporation at temperature no higher than about 100 degrees C.
