Patent number: 9946660Abstract: Examples include a device for memory space management. Some examples include receiving, from a host, a space management request that identifies a virtual page address. The virtual page address may be associated with a compressed page that includes a compression metadata having a reference count that indicates a number of virtual pages of data in the compressed page. The virtual page table entry associated with the virtual page address in a virtual page table may be looked up. The virtual page table entry may identify the compressed page. In such examples, the virtual page table entry may be marked as invalid without updating the reference count in the compressed page. A determination may be made as to whether each virtual page table entry that identifies the compressed page is marked invalid. Based on the determination that each virtual page table entry that identifies the compressed page is invalid, a free space bitmap entry for the compressed page may be updated to indicate that the compressed page is free.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Shankar Iyer, Siamak Nazari, Srinivasa D Murthy, Jin Wang

Patent number: 9936453Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to conserve power after transitioning from one coverage mode to another coverage mode based on power consumption estimates. The UE may make a determination on whether to modify its current extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) values by either triggering an unscheduled timing update or waiting for a scheduled timing update. For instance, the UE may estimate power consumption based on current eDRX values and the time remaining until a scheduled timing update procedure and compare this estimate to power consumption estimate based on modified eDRX values and the amount of power consumed to perform an unscheduled timing update procedure. Based on the comparison, the UE may update its eDRX values through an unscheduled TAU or through the regularly scheduled TAU procedure.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ashish Shankar Iyer, Naveen Kumar Pasunooru, Prashanth Mohan, Raevanth Venkat Annam, Srihari Vodnala, Dhananjaya Sarma Ponukumati

Patent number: 9833300Abstract: A screw type dental implant system (1), having a dental implant fixture (2), a multifunctional component (3) and an abutment screw (4). The screw shape dental implant fixture has an external surface having buttress threads on the body and micro threads at the collar. This combination provides the advantages of: improved biomechanics at the implant abutment interface, self-tapping nature to the implant, and minimizing the stresses at the crest of the bone leading to decrease resorption of crestal bone. The multifunctional component serves the purposes of implant mount, impression analog and final abutment and has a single prosthetic platform so one component is compatible with different implant dimensions, which minimizes the inventory needed for the implant system and allows easy handling of the system. The multifunctional component also has an external concave transmucosal portion for enhancing the emergence profile and internal threads for securing the abutment screw.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Council of Scientific & Industrial ResearchInventors: Mahesh Verma, Naresh Bhatnagar, Abhinav Sood, Farukh Faraz, Kshitij Sharma, Gedela V.

Publication number: 20160302284Abstract: A system and method for automatic path light control based on a detected size and classification of motion around the device using passive infrared (PIR) sensor technologies and distributed classification algorithms, and on detected light levels in and around the path area using ambient light sensor (ALS) technologies. By using such sensor data, the path light does not need to be maintained at a fixed value, which may be inadequate or inefficient at times, nor require constant user adjustments. Implementations of the disclosed subject matter enable automatic path light control that can be dynamic and automatically adjusted to fit the environment, the current user characteristics and the current user movements through the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2015Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Kenneth Louis Herman, Bryan James, Yash Modi, Laura Rabb, Michael Lammers, Aveek Ravishekhar Purohit, Michael Dixon, Shankar Iyer

Patent number: 9357578Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for recovery from a connection disruption of a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-carrier mode. The UE may establish a first connection with a primary cell and a second connection with a secondary cell while operating in the multi-carrier mode. A determination may be made that a disruption in the connection with the primary cell has occurred, and the UE may perform a connection reestablishment procedure to attempt to reestablish communications. The connection reestablishment routine may prioritize the secondary cell ahead of one or more other cells for attempting to reestablish communications. The prioritization may be based at least in part on the establishment of the second connection in the multi-carrier mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ashish Shankar Iyer, Srinivasan Rajagopalan, Daniel Amerga, Srivatsa Venkata Chivukula, Kiran Patil

Publication number: 20150327156Abstract: A mobile device determines that a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell) belong to a same multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) area or that the PCell and the SCell can broadcast the same service. The mobile device determines a communication state of the SCell. If the SCell is active, the mobile device compares signal quality on the PCell and the SCell and selects to decode broadcast content on the PCell or the SCell. If the communication state indicating the SCell is deactivated or released, the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell. If the SCell is released and if the mobile device determines that the PCell is also released, then the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell and initiates a neighbor cell search.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Vasanth Kumar Ramkumar, Ashish Shankar Iyer, Kuo-Chun Lee, Ketan Narenda Patel, Srinivasan Rajagopalan

Patent number: 8880520Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards managing a display of search results by employing a query-classification for a search query to selectively display trust search results that are displayed distinct from non-trust search results. A search query is classified into a query-class. A search is then performed over non-trust sources, and selectively over trust data sources to obtain non-trust and trust search results, respectively. The trust search results are rank ordered based on various categories of search criteria, including, for example, explicit and implicit relationships. Based on the query-class, a different number of trust search results may be displayed. Further, a position for which the trust search results may be displayed may be based on the query-class. Moreover, the non-trust search results displayed distinct or separate from the trust search results to readily distinguish a type of source of the search results.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Yahoo!

Patent number: 8793239Abstract: Techniques are provided for the efficient location, processing, and retrieval of local product information derived from web pages generally locatable through form queries submitted to web pages often referred to as the “deep” or “hidden” web. In an embodiment, information such as product information and dealer-location information is located on a web page form such as a dealer-locator form. After location of a suitable web page form, editorial wrapping is performed to create an automated information extraction process. Using the automated information extractor, deep-web crawling is performed. A grid-based extraction of individual business records is performed, and matching and ingestion are performed in conjunction with a business listing database. Finally, metadata tags are added to entries in the business listing database. Metadata tags also may be added to entries in other databases.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2009Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Yahoo!
