20100058226 | SCROLLABLE AREA MULTI-SCALE VIEWING - Utilizing a scrollbar handle for both zooming and panning a display comprising items in a user interface may be accomplished by monitoring an input device's interaction with the scrollbar handle. If the scroll handle is dragged in a direction away from an orientation of the scroll handle in the scrollbar, a display area zoom function can be activated. The zoom function allows a viewbox, comprising content, to be rescaled as a function of the distance the scroll handle is dragged. A displaybox can be created that distinguishes an area of the viewbox from the remainder of the display, which corresponds to content in the viewbox that would be displayed in normal zoom if the scroll handle were released at that location. Further, upon detecting that the scroll handle is released, the display area can zoom to a view of the content inside the distinguished area. | 03-04-2010 |
20110238829 | ANONYMOUS AND SECURE NETWORK-BASED INTERACTION - The subject disclosure pertains to anonymous network interaction. More specifically, mechanisms are provided to ensure anonymity with respect network interaction such that third parties are unable to determine the source and/or intent of communications. Accordingly, entities may anonymize all outgoing and/or incoming data packets so as to mitigate outside entities from learning about information being sought and/or provided. For example, a user or corporation may employ an anonymizer with respect to web searching so that outside entities are not able to determine what information is attempted to be accessed and by whom. | 09-29-2011 |

20150149430 | Search Guided By Location And Context - The subject disclosure pertains to web searches and more particularly toward influencing resultant content to increase relevancy. The resultant content can be influenced by reconfiguring a query and/or filtering results based on user location and/or context information (e.g., user characteristics/profile, prior interaction/usage temporal, current events, and third party state/context . . . ). Furthermore, the disclosure provides for query execution on at least a subset of designated web content, for example as specified by a user. Still further yet, a localized marketing system is disclosed that provides discount offers to users that match merchant criteria including proximity. A system for actively probing populations of users with different parameters and monitoring responses can be employed to collect data for identifying the best discounts and deadlines to offer to users to achieve desired results. | 05-28-2015 |
20150186948 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AGGREGATING WEB CLIPPING DATA - In an example, a processing system of a database system may be configured to, responsive to receiving a request originating from a member of a web clipping service, insert first data associated with a clip selection of the request into a personalized online space corresponding to the member and retain second data that is different than the first data into an aggregated pool of data associated with a plurality of members of the web clipping service. The processing device may be configured to pair an advertisement of a plurality of advertisements with a resource of a plurality of resources responsive to an analysis of the aggregated pool of data, and store an association between the advertisement of the pair and the resource of the pair in a memory device. | 07-02-2015 |

20120121977 | Surface-modified silicon anode active material, method of preparing the same, and anode and lithium battery employing the same - An anode active material comprising silicon particles with an interfacial layer formed on the surface of the silicon is provided. The interfacial layer has good electron conductivity, elasticity and adhesion among anode materials, thereby enhancing anode capacity and reducing stress caused by expansion of silicon particles during charge and discharge cycles. Direct contact between silicon particles and electrolyte is remarkably reduced as well. In addition, anodes and lithium batteries including the anode active material exhibit excellent capacity and cycle efficiency. | 05-17-2012 |
20120164528 | Composite anode with an interfacial film and lithium secondary battery employing the same - A composite anode for lithium secondary battery which has an active anode material layer formed on a conductive substrate and an interfacial film coated on the active anode material layer, wherein the active anode material layer includes carbonaceous materials, other active and inactive materials, and a binder. The anode increases degree of the anode active material utilization and the cycle life and characteristic and capacity of the battery can be improved. | 06-28-2012 |
20120171560 | Silicon and lithium silicate composite anodes for lithium rechargeable batteries and preparation method thereof - The present invention provides composite anodes comprising particles composed of silicon and lithium silicate, active and inactive anode materials, and binders, for lithium rechargeable batteries, wherein the particles composed of silicon and lithium silicate are prepared via treating silicon particles with lithium hydroxide in a wet process. Cycle life and characteristics and capacity of a secondary battery adopting the composite anode can be greatly improved. | 07-05-2012 |

20090094487 | MULTIPLE WINNER ARBITRATION - A method to combine trace data for multiple systems within an embedded system is provided. This method involves coupling a set of trace sources within the embedded system to a trace system. A subset of trace source(s) may then be selected from the set of trace sources. The subset of trace sources may be formatted to produce a packetized trace stream. The packetized trace stream may then be provided to external interface circuitry. External circuitry coupled to the trace system allows for analysis of the packetized trace streams regarding internal operations within the embedded system. An arbitrator may determine which trace source(s) from the set of trace sources are selected to be within the subset of trace sources. The arbitrator may use several criteria to make this determination. | 04-09-2009 |

The plurality of hub interfaces provide a plurality of signal interfaces between the hub module and each of the plurality of spoke modules, wherein each of the plurality of signal interfaces is isolated from each of the other signal interfaces of the plurality of signals interface, and wherein each of the plurality of signal interfaces operates in accordance with a common signaling format. | 11-03-2011 |
20110276766 | CONFIGURABLE MEMORY CONTROLLER - Controlling access to memory includes receiving a plurality of memory access requests and assigning corresponding time values to each. The assigned time values are adjusted based upon a clock pulse and a priority access list is generated. Factors consider include missed access deadlines, closeness to missing access deadlines, and whether a page is open. The highest ranked client is then passed to a sequencer to allow the requested access. Time values may be assigned and adjusted according to client ID or client type (latency or bandwidth). A plurality of power modes of operation are defined wherein operation in a selected power mode of operation is based at least in part on the assigned or adjusted time values. The processing is performed in hardware in parallel (at the same time) by associated logic circuits. | 11-10-2011 |
20140215233 | Power Management System Using Blocker Modules Coupled to a Bus - Systems and methods are provided for efficiently powering down elements and buses of a system without negatively impacting traffic. A power manager receives information from subsystems and determines whether a particular subsystem or bus can be powered down. The power manager sends a message to a subsystem when the subsystem or bus can be safely powered down. Blocker modules are coupled to buses, and the blocker modules respond with an error message if a subsystem attempts to send data over an inactive bus. | 07-31-2014 |
