| 20090195080 | POWER OVER ETHERNET POWER SOURCING EQUIPMENT ARCHITECTURE FOR VARIABLE MAXIMUM POWER DELIVERY - A power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing equipment (PSE) architecture for variable maximum power delivery. PoE PSE subsystems rely on some control to “turn on” a power field effect transistor (FET), which allows current to be transmitted to a powered device (PD). A hybrid approach is provided where an internal FET can be augmented with an external FET to provide an architecture that can be flexibly applied to applications with various space, cost and cooling limitations. The maximum delivered power can also be boosted with the addition of an external FET to the internal FET. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090201037 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DISCOVERING TOTAL TRANSISTOR RESISTANCE IN A HYBRID POWER OVER ETHERNET ARCHITECTURE - A system and method for automatically discovering total transistor resistance in a hybrid power over Ethernet (PoE) architecture. A critical factor for a PoE system is the total resistance of the power FET. Typical PoE systems consist of a single power FET that may be integrated with the controller or external to the controller. In a hybrid architecture the PoE system consists of both an internal power FET and an external power FET. The external power FET can be used to customize a design to meet a particular application or need. The total resistance in the hybrid architecture can be automatically determined using voltage and current measurements of the internal and external power FETs. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090235093 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWER SOURCING EQUIPMENT DETECTION OF A POWERED DEVICE POWER FAILURE FOR POWER BACKUP - A system and method for power sourcing equipment (PSE) detection of a powered device (PD) power failure for power backup. A PSE can power a PD at a low level of power as a backup power source. Upon a failure in the PDs primary power source, the PSE can detect a transient (e.g., current and/or voltage) on the PD load as a signal that the PD requires additional power. The PSE can then allocate increased power to the port by entering into an active state as compared to a backup state. As the PSE is responsive to the detection of the transient, the PSE need not rely on a real-time communication from the PD. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100106985 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GLOBAL POWER MANAGEMENT IN A POWER OVER ETHERNET CHASSIS - A system and method for global power management in a power over Ethernet (PoE) chassis. Power supply status signals indicative of an operating condition of a plurality of power supplies are provided to a plurality of power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller chips in a plurality of blades of a chassis system. Pre-configured combination logic within each of the PSE controller chips converts an indicated operational state of the plurality of power supplies into a powering decision for each of the ports served by the PSE controller chip. Global power management is also effected through the use of scaling factors for the various blades to ensure that the lowest priority powered port (LPPP) in a first blade does not have a lower priority than the highest priority non-powered port (HPNPP) in a second blade. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20090282010 | CREATION AND ENRICHMENT OF SEARCH BASED TAXONOMY FOR FINDING INFORMATION FROM SEMISTRUCTURED DATA - Techniques are provided for creating and updating a entity hierarchy (taxonomy) based on information captured about user interaction with a system. Techniques are also provided for using the taxonomy to determine the nature of entities represented by terms submitted to a search engine. Search logs analyzed for related sets of entities, and used to improve the taxonomy for storing information. Once the taxonomy is created, information across data sources are fetched and aggregated based on the taxonomy. When the system is queried, the query is modified to a predefined template, and the best fit result is promptly returned. A feedback mechanism is also provided to enhance taxonomy and entity data based on search volumes. This system enables search engines to provide accurate answers when entities, their attributes and relationships are involved. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100299397 | MANAGING ELECTRONIC ADDRESSES BASED ON COMMUNICATION PATTERNS - Managing electronic addresses based on communication patterns. A method includes tracking metadata of a plurality of electronic communications of a user. One or more lists of electronic addresses of recipients are generated for the user based on the metadata. Electronic addresses of potential recipients are identified from the one or more lists in response to an input indicative of selection of an electronic address of a recipient. The identified electronic addresses are recommended to the user. An input indicative of one or more electronic addresses selected by the user from the identified electronic addresses is received. Further, an electronic message is sent to the selected electronic addresses. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110016121 | Activity Based Users' Interests Modeling for Determining Content Relevance - A method and apparatus for activity-based users' interests modeling for determining relevance of the content distributed to the users is provided. Modeling of the user's interests starts by collecting information about the actions that the user performed and about the contents that were associated with the actions. That information may be used to determine how much interest the user has had in the individual subjects up to date, and to determine which subjects became more or less important to the user over time. Further processing of the information about the interests of each of the individual users in a group of users may produce characteristics indicating the interests of the group as a whole. Additional processing may generate the information reflecting relative importance of the interests of an individual user in the group to the interests of other users in the same group. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110208707 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED FIND-IN-PAGE FUNCTIONS IN A WEB BROWSER - A system and method for an enhanced find-in-page query function in a web browser. A find-in-page query is received for at least one webpage displayed on a computing device, wherein the query comprises a search string. Metadata relating to data objects displayed on the webpage is collected from the HTML code comprising the webpage, from the source of the of the plurality of objects, and from at least one search engine. At least one of the plurality of data objects matching the find-in-page query is identified wherein the search string is matched to metadata, wherein metadata relating to the matching data objects comprises the search string. The display of the matching data objects on the webpage is then altered, using the computing device, whereby the user is able to identify the data objects which match the find-in-page query. | 08-25-2011 |
