20080250085 | Backup system having preinstalled backup data - A backup system has a set of temporary backup data stored on a data storage system. When performing a backup operation for a device over a network, a block of data on the device may be compared to blocks of the temporary backup data. If the block of data already exists on the backup system in the temporary backup data, the block of data is not transferred over the network. Comparisons between blocks of data may be performed by calculating and comparing a hash value for the blocks. | 10-09-2008 |

The client may be able to sense that a user is on line and initiate a message session with the user. The user may also be able to initiate a session with the host device through the instant messaging client and perform a variety of functions through the instant messaging session. | 09-26-2013 |
20130315042 | Geo-normalization of Calendar Items - Calendar items may be analyzed to determine the physical location of an event defined in a calendar item. When a resolvable location is not included in the calendar item, other information may be used to increase the probability and accuracy of the location. For example, meeting attendees, adjacent meetings, meeting metadata, or similar meetings may be used to augment or verify a location for a calendar item. In some cases, external data from social networks, Global Positioning System input, or other data may also be used. Some embodiments may operate in a two-step analysis, where the first step may identify a boundary, and a second step may search within that boundary for potential matching locations. The location of a calendar item may be used for various auditing purposes, such as verifying work, mileage, or receipt logs, or for generating reports indicating the physical location of a person, device, or event. | 11-28-2013 |
20130318079 | Relevance Analysis of Electronic Calendar Items - A user's electronic calendar may be analyzed to identify those calendar items that relate to a specific topic or classification. The classification may identify, for example, business or personal items, or items relating to a specific project, task, or other classification. The analysis may classify calendar items by a set of heuristics as well as by associations between calendar items and with other databases. The associations may include analysis of a user's contact list, social networks, and other information. | 11-28-2013 |

20140025275 | Highway Speed Information System - A highway speed information system for use with a vehicle includes an in-vehicle speed information device selectively installed in a vehicle equipped with a cruise control module. The information device includes a processor, memory, and an output device. A global position system (GPS) is in data communication with the processor and configured to determine a geographic location of the vehicle. The memory is configured to store programming and a speed zone database indicative of a plurality of speed zones defined by GPS coordinates. Programming determines a current geographic location of the vehicle and associated speed limit, as well as a new current geographic location after a predetermined time—each location being associated with a speed limit. If the cruise control module is activated, it is automatically set to the speed limit associated with the current geographic location. | 01-23-2014 |
20140025288 | Highway Speed Information System - A highway speed information system for use with a vehicle includes a speed sign having a transmitter configured to transmit a signal indicative of a predetermined intended highway speed. The system includes an in-vehicle speed information device configured to be installed in the vehicle and includes a receiver configured to receive the signal transmitted by the speed sign transmitter. The speed information device includes a display electrically connected to the processor on which a speed associated with the received signal is displayed. | 01-23-2014 |
20140025290 | Highway Speed Information System - A highway speed information system for use with a vehicle includes an in-vehicle speed information device selectively installed in a vehicle. The information device includes a processor, memory, and an output device. A global position system (GPS) is in data communication with the processor and configured to determine a geographic location of the vehicle. The memory is configured to store programming and a speed zone database indicative of a plurality of speed zones defined by GPS coordinates. Programming determines a current geographic location of the vehicle and associated speed limit, a new current geographic location after a predetermined time, and a predicted future geographic location—each location being associated with a speed limit. The output device is alerted if the speed limit associated with the future location is different than the speed limit associated with the current location. | 01-23-2014 |

20100292757 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PLASMA-SUPPORTED SURFACE TREATMENT - A method and a series of devices for dry cleaning, activating, modifying, coating, and biologically decontaminating (degerming, disinfecting, sterilizing) surfaces by means of an atmospheric pressure plasma generated using a surface barrier discharge are provided. The invention is used for dry cleaning, activating, coating, modifying, and biologically contaminating surfaces by means of an atmospheric pressure plasma generated in a defined, flowing gas atmosphere by a surface barrier discharge, comprising a high-voltage electrode that is covered with a dielectric or ferroelectric material, an electrically conducting grounded contact electrode, a high-voltage supply, a gas supply, and a gas nozzle (encompassing a gas outlet); said gas nozzle is located in the direct vicinity of the grounded contact electrode, is integrated into the contact electrode, or acts as the grounded contact electrode. | 11-18-2010 |
20120187841 | DEVICE FOR GENERATING A NON-THERMAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE PLASMA - A device for generating a cold, HF-excited plasma under atmospheric pressure conditions can be used advantageously for plasma treatment of materials for cosmetic and medical purposes. The device contains a metal housing functioning as a grounded electrode in the region of the emergent plasma, wherein an HF generator, an HF resonance coil having a closed ferrite core suitable for the high frequency, an insulating body acting as a gas nozzle, and a high-voltage electrode mounted in the insulating body are disposed in such a manner that they are permeated or circulated around by process gas. By integrating the plasma nozzle and required control electronics in a miniaturized handheld device, or by using a short high-voltage cable, the invention allows compliance with the electromagnetic compatibility directives and allows the power loss to be minimized and thus a mobile application to be implemented. | 07-26-2012 |
