  • Patent number: 10548078
    Abstract: Managing power-consuming resources on a first computing device by adjusting data delivery from a plurality of second computing devices based on a state of the first computing device. The state of the first computing device is provided to the second computing devices to alter the data delivery. In some embodiments, the first computing device provides the second computing devices with actions or commands relating to data delivery based on the device state. For example, the second computing devices are instructed to store the data, forward the data, forward only high priority data, or perform other actions. Managing the data delivery from the second computing devices preserves battery life of the first computing device.

  • Patent number: 9419049
    Abstract: An optical assembly includes a solid spacing layer between a plenoptic microlens array (MLA) and a pixel-level MLA, avoiding the need for an air gap. Such an assembly, and systems and methods for manufacturing same, can yield improved reliability and efficiency of production, and can avoid many of the problems associated with prior art approaches. In at least one embodiment, the plenoptic MLA, the spacing layer, and the pixel-level MLA are created from optically transmissive polymer(s) deposited on the photosensor array and shaped using photolithographic techniques. Such an approach improves precision in placement and dimensions, and avoids other problems associated with conventional polymer-on-glass architectures. Further variations and techniques are described.

  • Publication number: 20150039656
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an enterprise address management system. In the enterprise address management system, addresses are imported and consolidated from external sources and stored in a database. The addresses are continuously updated from the same or different external sources while a history for each address is maintained to allow for retrieval and use of previous information. The history of each address is updated as a corresponding address transitions through an address life cycle as defined by a subscriber. The address life cycle typically is represented by a state model. In some embodiments, the enterprise address management system allows each subscriber to define and configure its own address life cycle state model and to control the flow of addresses through that life cycle.

  • Patent number: 8324100
    Abstract: Methods of forming a conductive via may include forming a blind via hole partially through a substrate, forming an aluminum film on surfaces of the substrate, removing a first portion of the aluminum film from some surfaces, selectively depositing conductive material onto a second portion of the aluminum film, and exposing the blind via hole through a back side of the substrate. Methods of fabricating a conductive via may include forming at least one via hole through at least one unplated bond pad, forming a first adhesive over at least one surface of the at least one via hole, forming a dielectric over the first adhesive, forming a base layer over the dielectric and the at least one unplated bond pad, and plating nickel onto the base layer.
