20110102175Communication Devices and Methods for Devices Including Generic Indicators Configurable for Real-Time Announcement of Received Communication Signals - Disclosed are communication devices and methods of communication devices including generic indicators and a user interface to configure the generic indicators so that a user can privately determine, in real-time, from whom a communication signal has been received and the type of communication signal received. A user may select contacts having communication addresses stored in a memory, particular types of communication signals and correlate them to generic indicators. When communication signals are received by the device that correspond to a selected communication address and a particular type of communication signal an announcement can be made by configured generic indicators. Once configured, when the device is in an indicator state, a device's ringer and/or vibrator may be disabled, particularly where such disturbances are unacceptable and a user nevertheless may be able to determine, according to the configured generic indicators from which contact a particular type of communication has been received.05-05-2011

20090292935Method, System and Apparatus for Power Management of a Link Interconnect - A proposal for power management control of an interconnect structure based on power state transition control. The power state transition is based on generating early warning signals and an idle timeout value setting based on response time and detection of subsequent requests.11-26-2009
20090327611DOMAIN-BASED CACHE MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING DOMAIN EVENT BASED PRIORITY DEMOTION - Domain-based cache management methods and systems, including domain event based priority demotion (“EPD”). In EPD, priorities of cached data blocks are demoted upon one or more domain events, such as upon encoding of one or more macroblocks of a video frame. New data blocks may be written over lowest priority cached data blocks. New data blocks may initially be assigned a highest priority. Alternatively, or additionally, one or more new data blocks may initially be assigned one of a plurality of higher priorities based on domain-based information, such as a relative position of a requested data block within a video frame, and/or a relative direction associated with a requested data block. Domain-based cache management may be implemented with one or more other cache management techniques, such as least recently used techniques. Domain-based cache management may be implemented in associative caches, including set associative caches and fully associative caches, and may be implemented with indirect indexing.12-31-2009
20110087843Monitoring cache usage in a distributed shared cache - An apparatus, method, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus includes a cache memory, which a number of sets. Each of the sets in the cache memory have several cache lines. The apparatus also includes at least one process resource table. The process resource table maintains a cache line occupancy count of a number of cache lines. Specifically, the cache line occupancy count for each cache line describes the number of cache lines in the cache storing information utilized by a process running on a computer system. Additionally, the process resource table stores the occupancy count of less cache lines than the total number of cache lines in the cache memory.04-14-2011

20100095325USE OF MULTIPLE EMBEDDED MESSAGES IN PROGRAM SIGNAL STREAMS - A method of generating a program signal stream comprises creating a sequence of serial programs that include a first event and a second, later occurring event and inserting a plurality of messages in the sequence of serial programs, between the first event and the 5 second event. The messages may be indicative of a time to the second event, as measured from each respective message of an elapsed time since the first event, to each respective message. Alternatively or in addition, the messages may be at equal time intervals between the first event and second events. The first and second events may be the start and end of a program or a program portion, such as a chapter, an advertisement, unscheduled content or an 10 entire program, for example. At least one message indicative of the time to the second event may be inserted in the sequence of serial programs prior to the first event.04-15-2010

20100151680Substrate carrier with enhanced temperature uniformity - A substrate carrier is used in an in-line fabrication such as Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) for application of thin film on substrates. The carrier is in thermal communication with the substrate and thereby provides heat sinking. The carrier further permits movement of the substrate past a deposition apparatus at a deposition station.06-17-2010
