| 20100083165 | PANORAMIC GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A panoramic graphical user interface includes a contiguous background and a collection of mixed-media content objects. The contiguous background includes one or more space-orientating graphical elements and is sized to fit within a first dimension of a display and to extend beyond a second dimension of the display. The collection of mixed-media content objects are anchored over the contiguous background. The collection of mixed-media content objects are arranged to fit within the first dimension of the display and arranged to extend beyond the second dimension of the display | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110190032 | Integrated Media User Interface - An integrated media user interface is described. In an implementation, a user interface is output that includes a plurality of representations of media, each of the media rendered by the mobile device through execution of a respective one of a plurality of applications. Responsive to selection of at least one of the representations, a corresponding application is located to render the media represented by the at least one said representation. The media represented by the selected representation is rendered through execution of the located application. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20100064177 | NETWORK HANG RECOVERY - A method of detecting a network hang and restoring an application that communicates on a connection giving rise to the network hang. A user experience may be improved by providing the user with an option to restore the hung application without losing unsaved data or state information. The network hang may be detected when the user tries to terminate the application. The method may include determining whether the network hang is recoverable, which may involve diagnosing a type of the hang. If recoverable, a network connection reset mechanism may be triggered by instructing a network stack of the computer to terminate the network connection. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20110214017 | FAILED PROCESS REPORTING - An application programming interface (API) that leverages operating system instrumentation to provide a chain of threads and processes may alleviate some debugging complications. Specifically, the chain may start with the first thread in the process that experienced the original failure and end with the last thread upon which the first thread directly or indirectly depends. The API may aid debugging efforts by classifying all threads related or dependent upon an original failed thread into specific categories of failures, requesting further information from the originating OS concerning specific failed threads, and using that information to debug the failed application or process more thoroughly. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20090201644 | SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR COOLING COMPUTER COMPONENTS - Computer systems and associated methods for cooling computer components are disclosed herein. One embodiment of a computer system includes a computer cabinet having an air inlet spaced apart from an air outlet. The computer system also includes heat exchangers positioned in the computer cabinet, and a heat removal system in fluid communication with the heat exchangers. The computer system additionally includes at least one sensor for monitoring heat transfer between the computer cabinet and the room. The computer system further includes a control system operatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the control system including a computer-readable medium holding instructions for determining whether heat transfer between the computer cabinet and the room is balanced based on information from the sensor, and if not, adjusting a parameter to balance the heat transfer. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090244826 | AIRFLOW MANAGEMENT APPARATUS FOR COMPUTER CABINETS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Airflow management apparatuses for computer cabinets and associated methods are disclosed herein. The computer cabinets include a plurality of computer modules positioned between an air inlet and an air outlet and an air mover configured to move a flow of cooling air from the air inlet, past the plurality of computer modules, and out the computer cabinet via the air outlet. The computer cabinets carry an airflow restrictor positioned proximate to the air outlet. The airflow restrictor is configured to restrict the flow of cooling air through a portion of the computer cabinet to achieve a desired temperature profile in the computer cabinet. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100097751 | AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS FOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Computer systems with air cooling systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, a computer system can include a computer cabinet holding multiple computer modules, and an air mover positioned in the computer cabinet. The computer system can also include an airflow restrictor positioned proximate to an air outlet of the computer cabinet, and an overhead heat exchanger mated to the computer cabinet proximate to the air outlet. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100097752 | AIRFLOW INTAKE SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR USE WITH COMPUTER CABINETS - Airflow intake systems for use with computer cabinet air conditioning systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computer system includes a plurality of computer modules and an associated air mover positioned in an interior portion of a computer cabinet. The computer cabinet includes an opening that provides access to the interior portion. In this embodiment, a door or other panel is positioned in front of the opening and is at least partially offset from the opening to define a gap between the panel and the cabinet. Operation of the air mover draws cooling air into the cabinet through the gap, and then drives the cooling air through the cabinet to cool the computer modules. | 04-22-2010 |
