Publication number: 20180276057Abstract: An enhanced copy-and-paste function copies multiple logical and physical software objects from a source computing environment to a distinct target computing environment. A physical object can be any software-data entity, such as a document, a container, a database, or a disk image. A logical object contains a hierarchy of two or more physical or logical objects. Objects are copied to a logical copy clipboard, where they may be assembled into logical objects. Each physical object is then transferred one at a time to a conventional physical clipboard, transmitted to a corresponding physical clipboard in a corresponding target environment, and then forwarded to a logical paste clipboard, where the original logical objects are reconstructed and pasted into the target environment. Each logical object may be pasted into multiple target environments and may contain physical objects copied from multiple source environments. Multiple logical objects may contain the same physical object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2017Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Dong Chen, Shao Jun Ding, Zhi Li Guan, Yang Liang, Xin Peng Liu, Ting Yin, Wu Mi Zhong

Patent number: 10083683Abstract: A noise source emits an acoustic noise wave with a noise frequency corresponding to an attribute of a control-status signal associated with the noise source. A method to reduce the noise comprises generating, based on the noise frequency corresponding to the attribute, an anti-noise signal having the noise frequency. The method further comprises phase-shifting the anti-noise signal to output a phase-shifted anti-noise signal that can be used to generate a noise-cancelling acoustic wave. The method can include aligning the first anti-noise signal to be in-phase with the acoustic noise wave. An anti-noise apparatus to implement the method includes an anti-noise generator, to generate the anti-noise signal, and a phase shifter to generate and output the phase-shifted anti-noise signal. The anti-noise apparatus can include a phase detector and phase alignment element to align the anti-noise signal to be in-phase with the acoustic noise wave.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zhan Peng Huo, Yang Liang, Shu Jun Tang, Ying Zhao Yan, Ting Yin, Hui Hui Zhao
