20150161300 | Estimation of Three-Dimensional Models of Roofs from Spatial Two-Dimensional Graphs - The present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by exploiting properties of the projection of a three-dimensional building structure (such as a roof) onto the ground. This projection is a two-dimensional spatial graph, which can be constructed for example by a user or by an image recognition algorithm. The spatial graph is processed to recreate a three-dimensional model of the building structure. | 06-11-2015 |

20150178222 | ASYNCHRONOUS SWAP MECHANISM AND PAGE EVICTION FROM MEMORY - Embodiments of the invention relate to mitigating page eviction from cache memory. Pages of data in the cache are compressed, and are periodically swapped to a physical storage device to create space in the cache for additional pages. To avoid the impact of eviction latencies, an asynchronous thread scanning process scans the cache for any pages that are not committed to the storage device, decompresses a selected one of the pages, and asynchronously writes the decompressed page copy to the physical storage device. The compressed copy of the selected page remains in the cache during the asynchronous write with an indicator for the page set to convey that a replica of the page has been written to physical storage, allowing for efficient eviction from the in-memory pool at a later time. | 06-25-2015 |

20090327232 | Hosted system for enabling enterprises to build and operate online communities - A system that enables enterprises to design, create integrate and operate online communities. The system operates as an on-demand hosted platform (software-as-a-service) that provides a secure and reliable architecture on which enterprises can safely and securely develop, execute and manage their online communities. The platform combines a wide range of web-based participation technologies (e.g., blogs, wikis, discussion groups, social networking, podcasts, RSS, tagging, photos, videos, mapping, and the like). Any content can have attributes that make it appear as any type of content. With this uniform content architecture, all user-generated content is treated as a post (or, more generally, a submission), and there is no need for a participant to author multiple entries for separate uses. Preferably, all content created or otherwise associated with a particular author is intrinsically tied or “linked” to the author via the author's profile. Thus, at each point of participation, the content is associated with the individual, which allows the system to build and maintain a rich “living” profile for each community member. Using this approach, the system can build and enable querying of so-called “social aggregations,” which are data sets that describe a relationship among one or more author attributes and one or more content attributes. | 12-31-2009 |

20150377972 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING A STATE OF CHARGE AND REMAINING OPERATION LIFE OF A BATTERY - Determining a state of charge (SOC) of a rechargeable battery includes using a first process to determine a first value for the SOC of the battery and using a second process to determine a second value for the SOC of the battery and deriving the SOC as a weighted average of the first value for the SOC and the second value for the SOC. During a charging cycle of the battery an input charge of the battery is determined from an input current flowing into the battery and a charging time. During a discharging cycle an output charge of the battery is determined from an output current flowing out of the battery, a discharging time and an actual capacity of the battery is the sum of the input charge over charging cycles minus the sum of the output charge over discharging cycles. | 12-31-2015 |
