Abstract: Various aspects of apparatus for accessing a network through a wireless access point and methods of power savings for such apparatus include autonomously alternating between a listen state and the sleep state during a time period in which no data is detected from the remote apparatus, and progressively increase the sleep state interval during the time period for at least a portion of the time period.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment of this invention contexts are transferred at an appropriate time depending on the context type. As a result, link layer (PPP) delay can be substantially eliminated during Mobile IP handoff, without introducing additional packet loss. By way of example, all MS contexts (both static and dynamic) are maintained during the inter-PDSN handoff procedure, and any executing applications are not impacted by the inter-PDSN handoff.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for desulfurization of diesel with reduced hydrogen consumption. More particularly the subject invention pertains to an integrated process comprising diesel hydro de-sulfurisation (DHDS) or diesel hydrotreatment (DHDT) with reduced severity to desulfurize high sulfur (1.0-2.0 wt %) diesel stream to a much lower level of sulfur content of 350-500 ppm in the depleted diesel stream, followed by a novel adsorption procedure for effecting deep desulfurization to reduce overall sulfur content to less than 10 ppm with reduced hydrogen consumption, as compared to high severity DHDS or DHDT procedures of the prior art.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for deep desulphurization of cracked gasoline with minimum octane loss of about 1-2 units. In this process full range cracked gasoline from FCC, Coker, Visbreaker etc is sent to Diolefin Saturation Reactor for selective saturation of diolefins. After saturation of diolefins, the stream is sent to Splitter for splitting into three cuts i.e Light Cut (IBP-70° C.), Intermediate Cut (70-90° C.) and Heavy Cut (90-210° C.). The Light Cut which contains majority of the high octane olefins and mercaptan sulfur is desulfurized with caustic treatment using Continuous Film Contactor (CFC). The sulfur in the Intermediate Cut is also predominantly mercaptans and the cut can be desulfurised by caustic treatment using CFC along with Light cut or separately desulfurised before being sent for isomerization. The Heavy Cut containing mainly thiophinic sulfur compounds is treated either by using conventional HDS process or reactive adsorption process.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for performing clock re-convergence pessimism removal (CRPR) during hierarchical static timing analysis (HSTA). A clock network is divided into a plurality of blocks. A top level includes clock components not included in the plurality of blocks. Block level analysis is performed to determine timing information for each of the plurality of blocks. If available, CRPR data from top level analysis is accounted for in block level analysis. Subsequently, similar analysis is performed on components that are included in top level analysis. If available, CRPR data from bottom level analysis is accounted for in top level analysis. CRPR data can be requested during levels of analysis from the other level. These steps are repeated until analysis is complete.

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering query results. After a user submits a query, a plurality of query results may be received, comprising at least a first query result and a second query result. The first query result can be rendered in a first collapsed view, which may be smaller and may comprise less information than a full view of the first query result. Upon receiving a first indication of scrolling, hinting that the user may wish to view more results, the first query result can be rendered in a first expanded view, which may comprise a full view of the first query result. Further, upon receiving the first indication of scrolling, the second query result can be rendered in a second collapsed view. Rendering query results as provided herein allows a (limited) viewable area to be used in an efficient manner.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for provisioning and allocating logically extended virtual disks. Responsive to an identification of a negative operational issue with a storage device in a plurality of storage devices in a storage subsystem, a determination is made as to whether a hot spare disk is available to replace the storage device. Responsive to the hot spare disk being unavailable, a logically extended virtual disk is allocated as a replacement for the storage device. Data stored on the storage device is then rebuilt on the logically extended virtual disk.

Accordingly, hardware descriptions may be generated for the first and second PHEs of the target system. Different modules may be used for different interconnects. Additionally, multiple synchronization modules may be used, e.g., dynamically, during operation of the target system.

Abstract: Search results are provided with rich content in defined display areas defined via a border, background, other like graphical elements, or combinations thereof. Within the defined display area, search results content is formatted to evoke a particular theme or concept appropriate for the information identified by the search result. Additionally, within the defined display area, a graphical preview of the search result is provided in an animated manner evocative of user scrolling. Collections of search results are arranged in grids, like tiles. Search results are reviewed on a grid-by-grid basis, with small portions of prior, or subsequent, grids being displayed at the edges of the display, thereby visually indicating that further, or subsequent, grids are accessible. Alternatively, other grids can represent different types of search results. The quantity in a grid, and their size, are dynamically adjusted based on the size of the display.

Abstract: A method for reordering scan chain segments of scan chains in an electronic circuit design includes identifying congestion areas on a congestion map. A routing preference for each congestion area is determined. Scan cells associated with each congestion area are formed into the scan chain segments and then the scan chain segments are re-ordered based on the routing preference of the corresponding congestion area.
