A work piece support surface can include an opening through which one run of a closed loop saw blade of the portable band saw can pass when the portable band saw is mounted in a supporting relationship with respect to the stand. A switch mounted on the stand operates the portable band saw independent of the finger trigger on the handle. The on/off switch is connected to a plug engaged by the portable band saw when mounted in the stand. The plug is engagable within a socket of the band saw and is electrically connected to bypass the finger trigger of the portable band saw and to create a circuit through the on/off switch. | 03-08-2012 |

20110035532 | Secure Recursive Virtualization - A mechanism is provided for performing secure recursive virtualization of a computer system. A portion of memory is allocated by a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or an operating system (OS) to a new domain. An initial program for the new domain is loaded into the portion of memory. Secure recursive virtualization firmware (SVF) in the data processing system is called to request that the new domain be generated. A determination is made as to whether the call is from a privileged domain or a non-privileged domain. Responsive to the request being from a privileged domain, all access to the new domain is removed from any other domain in the data processing system. Responsive to receiving an indication that the new domain has been generated, an execution of the initial program is scheduled. | 02-10-2011 |

20130227704 | PROCESSOR AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD WITH NON-HIERARCHICAL COMPUTER SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS FOR CONTEXT STATES - Disclosed are a processor and processing method that provide non-hierarchical computer security enhancements for context states. The processor can comprise a context control unit that uses context identifier tags associated with corresponding contexts to control access by the contexts to context information (i.e., context states) contained in the processor's non-stackable and/or stackable registers. For example, in response to an access request, the context control unit can grant a specific context access to a register only when that register is tagged with a specific context identifier tag. If the register is tagged with another context identifier tag, the contents of the specific register are saved in a context save area of memory and the previous context states of the specific context are restored to the specific register before access can be granted. The context control unit can also provide such computer security enhancements while still facilitating authorized cross-context and/or cross-level communications. | 08-29-2013 |

20140025337 | Sensor Virtualization through Cloud Storage and Retrieval Mechanisms - Mechanisms are provided for virtualizing physical sensors and providing sensor data to a requestor using the virtualized physical sensors. The mechanisms obtain sensor data from a plurality of physical sensors and storing the sensor data in a virtual sensor storage system of the data processing system in at least one standardized format. A request from a requestor for a first type of sensor data is received which does not specify a particular physical sensor. A portion of the sensor data stored in the virtual sensor storage system is retrieved in response to receiving the request, the portion of sensor data corresponding to the type of sensor data requested in the request from the requestor. The retrieved portion of the sensor data is returned to the requestor in a format corresponding to a physical sensor configured to provide the requested type of sensor data. | 01-23-2014 |

20130097172 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDEXING AND RETRIEVING MULTIMEDIA WITH OBJECTIVE METADATA - A method and system for indexing, searching, retrieving, and viewing multimedia content employs metadata. The multimedia content is stored in the system, along with associated two types of metadata: (1) objective metadata and (2) subjective metadata. The associated objective metadata contains the values of various objective parameters that pertain to the creation of the multimedia content. Examples of such objective parameters include focal length of the camera used, the recording medium (film or digital), dimensional view (2D or 3D), source of light, light temperature, selected focus (fore, mid, or background), camera motion, recorded frame rate, and rendered playback frame rate. The associated subjective metadata pertains to the subjective content of the multimedia and typically consists of at least one keyword or tag that describes the subjects, themes, or genres depicted by the multimedia content. A user may search for, retrieve, and view the multimedia content by employing search techniques to both the objective and subjective metadata stored in the system. | 04-18-2013 |
