| 20110004459 | Data Backup Devices and Methods for Backing Up Data - A data backup system comprises an emulation component and a storage device having logical storage areas. The emulation component is configured to represent a first logical storage area of the storage device, such as a solid state memory or a disk drive partition, as if it were an auto-launch device. Accordingly, a data source, such as a personal computer, will interact with the first logical storage area as if it were the auto-launch device. As some operating systems are configured to recognize auto-launch devices upon connection and automatically execute applications stored thereon, merely connecting the data backup system to a data source running such an operating system can cause a backup application stored by the first logical storage area to automatically execute on the data source to selectively back up data to a second logical storage area of the storage device. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110047128 | Automatic Connection to an Online Service Provider from a Backup System - A software application is provided for a user to select a backed up data file and specify a task to be performed by an online service provider on the selected file. The application automatically connects to the online service provider and uploads the selected file for the online service provider to perform the task. Tasks that can be performed include printing, sharing, viewing, playing and archiving the selected file. Task preferences, user settings and user information can also be specified by the user and uploaded to the online service provider. Automatic connection to the online service provider can be via default setting, selected file type, or specified task. Alternatively, the user can designate which service provider is to perform the task. Payment for the task can be accomplished via bundled credits or by other payment mechanisms. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20100169560 | Methods for Selectively Copying Data Files to Networked Storage and Devices for Initiating the Same - A data backup system comprises a USB flash drive that includes an emulation component and a flash memory. The emulation component is configured to represent the flash memory as if it were an auto-launch device. Accordingly, a data source, such as a personal computer, will interact with the flash memory as if it were the auto-launch device. As some operating systems are configured to recognize auto-launch devices upon connection and automatically execute applications stored thereon, merely connecting the USB flash drive to a data source running such an operating system will cause a backup application stored by the flash memory to automatically execute on the data source. Here, the backup application is configured to selectively back up data files from the data source to a networked storage such as a server of a commercial service provider. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080204468 | Graphics processor pipelined reduction operations - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method to initialize a texture buffer and pipeline reduction operations by utilizing the texture buffer. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100034274 | FAST MULTI-FRAME MOTION ESTIMATION WITH ADAPTIVE SEARCH STRATEGIES - A method includes examining a statistical distribution of motion vectors employed for motion compensation in a first frame of image data. The examining is to produce a distribution model of the motion vectors in the first frame. The method further includes selecting, based at least in part on the distribution model, a block-matching search pattern for use with respect to a second frame of image data. The second frame follows the first frame in a sequence of frames of image data. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100161911 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MPI PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION - Machine readable media, methods, apparatus and system for MPI program optimization. In some embodiments, shared data may be retrieved from a message passing interface (MPI) program, wherein the shared data is sharable by a plurality of processes. Then, the shared data may be allocated to a shared memory, wherein the shared memory is accessible by the plurality of processes. A single copy of the shared data may be maintained in the shared data in a global buffer of the processes of the plurality of processes can read or write the single copy of the shared data from or to the shared memory. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20080282103 | Lightweight time change detection - A timer service uses a single timer function to perform timing services for both relative and absolute timers. The first timers from a sorted array of absolute timers and relative timers are used in a function that will return when the earliest absolute timer expires or will timeout when the earliest relative timer expires. The timer function may be interrupted when a new timer is added to one of the arrays. The function will operate in a predictable and consistent manner, even when a system clock is adjusted. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080282111 | Worker thread corruption detection and remediation - A thread has a corruption detection mechanism that compares a beginning state of a function with an ending state to determine any inconsistencies. Based on the type of inconsistency, a remedial action may be taken, such as ignoring the inconsistency, cleaning up the inconsistency, and terminating the thread with an exception. The analysis may also include analyzing various states after function execution to find problems such as incomplete transactions. Such a thread may be useful in an operating system as well as a multi-threaded application environment. | 11-13-2008 |
