20080281833 | Configuration change management tool - A change management system for managing configurable devices such as computer systems uses a set of rules for validating change requests, linking change requests, and determining inconsistencies within various configuration states. Analysis and validation may happen at the time the change request is created with respect to the current environment, as well as analysis and validation with respect to other pending requests and proposals, and historical actual states. The maintenance of accurate and consistent state and change information may enable various automated tools to analyze and manipulate change requests, including analysis of future desired states, historical actual states, pending change requests, and current state. The change request may be processed through an approval cycle all the while being incorporated into a scheduling system that may be used to detect inconsistent, illogical or harmful configurations in potential future configurations. | 11-13-2008 |

20090222751 | MODELING CONFIGURATIONS OF SYSTEMS - One embodiment may be practiced in a computing environment and includes method acts for creating a new component model from an existing component model. The method includes accessing an existing component definition. The existing component definition is included in an existing component schema, which includes definitions of configuration parameters defined for the existing component including defining that one or more parameters are further configurable. Definitions of the one or more parameters that are defined as being further configurable are refined. The refined definitions for the one or more parameter values are stored in a refined schema defining refinements of the component definition, without including the existing component schema. The refined schema is stored separately from the existing component schema. | 09-03-2009 |

20080263085 | DESCRIBING EXPECTED ENTITY RELATIONSHIPS IN A MODEL - Defining target data types within an instance of a target data type definition for inclusion in a reference data type definition to declare expected entity relationships in a model. The model corresponds to, for example, software, a business process, or an organizational structure. The target data type defines one or more elements with target data. The target data describes entities that are expected to be related to the reference entity according to a predefined entity relationship. The existing reference data type definition is used to declare the expected entity relationships. In an embodiment, the defined target data type includes a tag in an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document. | 10-23-2008 |

20130335404 | DEPTH OF FIELD CONTROL FOR SEE-THRU DISPLAY - One embodiment provides a method for controlling a virtual depth of field perceived by a wearer of a see-thru display device. The method includes estimating the ocular depth of field of the wearer and projecting virtual imagery with a specified amount of blur. The amount of blur is determined as a function of the ocular depth of field. Another embodiment provides a method for controlling an ocular depth of field of a wearer of a see-thru display device. This method includes computing a target value for the depth of field and increasing the pixel brightness of the virtual imagery presented to the wearer. The increase in pixel brightness contracts the wearer's pupils and thereby deepens the depth of field to the target value. | 12-19-2013 |

20140369275 | SERVICE PROVISIONING THROUGH A SMART PERSONAL GATEWAY DEVICE - Embodiments include a smart personal gateway device (SPGD) that augments the capabilities of smart personal devices (SPDs) connected in a personal area network (PAN). The SPGD implements services for the SPDs using computing resources of the SPGD. In some embodiments, the SPGD provides carrier-grade voice services to SPDs lacking hardware to support such services (e.g., SPDs supporting Wi-Fi only). | 12-18-2014 |
20140372551 | PROVIDING STORAGE AND SECURITY SERVICES WITH A SMART PERSONAL GATEWAY DEVICE - Embodiments provide storage, security, and other services to smart personal devices (SPDs) in a personal area network (PAN) via a smart personal gateway device (SPGD). The SPGD caches and shares data among SPDs having support for heterogeneous communication modalities. The SPGD acts as an offline cache or other common storage location for the SPDs in the PAN. | 12-18-2014 |

20090006589 | CONTROL OF SENSOR NETWORKS - A method and apparatus is provided for generating an index and creating a network of devices based on the index. Information and data may be provided via the network. In one example, a request may be received from a user at a service. The service may maintain an index containing characteristics of devices. Any number or type of devices may be selected to participate in the network. Also, the network may be subsequently modified by the addition or removal of any device from the network. Information or data received from the network devices may be returned to the user requesting the information via the service. | 01-01-2009 |
20150067768 | ZONE POLICY ADMINISTRATION FOR ENTITY TRACKING AND PRIVACY ASSURANCE - The present invention includes entity tracking, privacy assurance, and zone policy administration technologies allowing for the creation of zone policies, including the definition of zones and managed entities, the zone policies including rules that apply to the managed entities within or in relation to the zones, and privacy policies assuring privacy of sensitive data. The technologies also provide for the definition of sensors, rule event objects, and default event objects, and for the establishment of associations between rules and managed entities, sensors, and rule event objects so as to create zone policies. Event objects may generate zone policy events or actions upon compliance with or violation of various rules of zone policy. Managed entities are defined as entities associated with mobile devices capable of location tracking and communication with zone policy servers. Entities may be persons, vehicles, animals, or any other object for which tracking and zone policy administration is of value. Zone policy may include privacy policy that may restrict access to or set access conditions for data or information. Privacy policies may be used to ensure individual managed entities and their data remain anonymous to a desired degree and that sensitive data is appropriately protected. | 03-05-2015 |

20140132481 | MOBILE DEVICES WITH PLURAL DISPLAYS - Disclosed herein are embodiments of mobile devices having plural displays. In some embodiments a mobile computing device comprises a body comprising a front side, a rear side, and four lateral sides, a main display on the front side of the body, and a secondary display on one of the four lateral sides of the body. An edge of the secondary display can be adjacent to an edge of the main display and the adjacent edges can positioned in contact with each other, can be joined together with an adhesive, and/or can be joined together with a compliant gasket. The main display and the secondary display can be controlled independently of each other based on predetermined display preference logic. The device can further comprise a cover layer that covers and protects both the main display and the secondary display. | 05-15-2014 |
