20150278295 | AGGREGATION FRAMEWORK SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND METHOD - Database systems and methods that implement a data aggregation framework are provided. The framework can be configured to optimize aggregate operations over non-relational distributed databases, including, for example, data access, data retrieval, data writes, indexing, etc. Various embodiments are configured to aggregate multiple operations and/or commands, where the results (e.g., database documents and computations) captured from the distributed database are transformed as they pass through an aggregation operation. The aggregation operation can be defined as a pipeline which enables the results from a first operation to be redirected into the input of a subsequent operation, which output can be redirected into further subsequent operations. Computations may also be executed at each stage of the pipeline, where each result at each stage can be evaluated by the computation to return a result. Execution of the pipeline can be optimized based on data dependencies and re-ordering of the pipeline operations. | 10-01-2015 |

20120143103 | Range of Motion and Similar Devices with Temperature Controlled Fluids - Various orthotic devices for attachment to and for manipulating a user's limb having a joint are provided. The device generally comprises an inflatable motive bladder containing a first fluid and positioned adjacent a first portion of the user's limb, and a separate therapy pad positioned adjacent a second portion of the user's limb. The motive bladder is inflatable from a lesser inflated mode to a more inflated mode, and further configured to provide a motive force to move the first portion of the user's limb so as to cause a flexion in the joint. The therapy pad includes a treatment material configured to provide thermotherapy for the second portion of the user's limb. In certain embodiments, the second portion is the user's joint. Various methods of using the orthotic devices are also provided. | 06-07-2012 |

20080215720 | Apparatus and system for lost/stolen data storage device recovery - A recoverable data storage apparatus including a hand-portable housing configured with an input/output (I/O) port presented outwardly therefrom, a data storage means retained within the housing and operatively coupled with the input/output port, and a client agent embodied as device-executable code residing on the data storage device and configured. When executed on a network-linked computing device, the client agent is configured to establish communication with a remote server and receive data indicating a possession status of the data storage apparatus. A device tracking system including a data network means, a hardware portion, and a software portion. The hardware portion includes at least, (1) a server device operatively coupled with the network means, and (2) a data storage device with an externally presented input/output port configured to operatively couple with a host device, and a software portion including. The software portion includes at least, (1) a data storage device tracking means configured to identify a data storage device based upon unique identification-relevant data included in a polling message received via the network means, and (2) a client agent stored as device executable code stored at a memory means operatively coupled with the data storage device, wherein the client agent is configured so operatively when coupled to cause a host device to transmit host device-relevant identifying data via the network means. | 09-04-2008 |
20080301291 | PORTABLE HOST-PLUGGABLE APPLIANCE TRACKING SYSTEM - A recoverable data storage apparatus includes a hand-portable housing configured with an input/output (I/O) port presented outwardly therefrom, a data storage means retained within the housing and operatively coupled with the input/output port, and a client agent embodied as device-executable code residing on the data storage device and configured. When executed on a network-linked host computing device, the client agent is configured to establish communication with a remote server and receive data indicating a possession status of the data storage apparatus. A device tracking system includes a data network means, a hardware portion, and a software portion. The hardware portion includes at least, (1) a server device operatively coupled with the network means, and (2) a data storage device with an externally presented input/output port configured to operatively couple with a host device. The software portion includes at least, (1) a data storage device tracking means configured to identify a data storage device based upon unique identification-relevant data included in a polling message received via the network means, and (2) a client agent configured as device executable code stored at a memory means operatively coupled with the data storage device, wherein the client agent is configured so operatively when coupled with a host device to cause the host device to transmit host device-relevant identifying data via the network means. | 12-04-2008 |
20100115092 | Mobile device or computer theft recovery system and method - A mobile device, e.g. portable computer, location tracking and data backup-and-wipe system and method enable a lost or stolen device to be recovered by reporting to its rightful owner and optionally to others its approximate location via triangulation and the use of location service providers. Social network members may be made aware automatically of the location of a reported lost or stolen device and can assist the rightful owner in recovering it based upon their identification of the user of the device, whether by the location coordinates or by viewing a photographic image taken by the computer. Alternatively, in governmental and/or institutional settings having privacy concerns, no photographic images are sent to a public website. Instead, they are sent to a proprietary employer server and maintained behind an institutional firewall. | 05-06-2010 |

20140269326 | DYNAMIC CONGESTION CONTROL - A system and method is disclosed for moving between delay sensing and packet loss based congestion control states. In connection with communicating over a network by sending and receiving data, one or more network devices automatically selects between a first and a second congestion control state for the sending and receiving of the data based a predetermined algorithm. The devices move between the first and the second congestion control states to maintain a bit rate associated with the sending and receiving at a predetermined threshold according to the predetermined algorithm. | 09-18-2014 |
