20080222542SYSTEM AND EMTHOD FOR ANNOTATING AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT INDEPENDENTLY OF ITS CONTENT - A system, method, and apparatus for annotating an electronic document independently of its content is provided. According to one variation, a tablet and stylus-based computer is programmed with a document browser that permits a user to annotate documents viewed through the browser. The annotations are stored separately from the viewed document pages but are correlated with the pages such that when a previously annotated page is revisited, annotations relating to that page are retrieved and displayed on top of the page as an “ink” layer. Three different annotation modes are possible: ink, highlight, and erase. Each mode can be selected through a user interface supplied through the browser or through controls embedded in a document.09-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100306188PERSISTENT QUERY PLANS - A system and method for processing database queries. An optimizer produces query plans based on queries. Query plans are stored in a persistent storage. In response to receiving a query, the system selectively retrieves a stored query plan corresponding to the query for execution. Optimization of the query may be selectively performed. A stored query plan or a new query plan may be executed. Based on metrics collected during execution, the system may automatically revert to a stored plan other than the one being executed. Based on metrics of a reverted to plan, the system may roll back to the first plan. The persistent storage enables the use of query plans after a system restart, transfer to another device, or other changes.12-02-2010
20110251997LOGICAL REPLICATION IN CLUSTERED DATABASE SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE CLONING - Architecture that addresses an end-to-end solution for logical transactional replication from a shared-nothing clustered database management system, which uses adaptive cloning for high availability. This can be time based using a global logical timestamp. The disclosed architecture, used for refreshing stale clones, does not preserve user transaction boundaries, which is a more complex situation than where the boundaries are preserved. In such a scenario it is probable that for a given data segment no clone of the segment may contain the complete user transaction history, and hence, the history has to be pieced together from the logs of multiple different clones. This is accomplished such that log harvesting is coordinated with the clone state transitions to ensure the correctness of logical replication.10-13-2011

20090290520WIRELESS NETWORK HOST IN SILENT MODE - An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks.11-26-2009
20100115278SUPPORT OF MULTIPLE PRE-SHARED KEYS IN ACCESS POINT - A method of operating an access point (AP) configured to support multiple pre-shared keys at a given time to authenticate its associated client devices. Each client device associated with the AP is provisioned with a key. To authenticate the client device tat attempts to connect to the AP, the AP determines which pre-shared key (PSK) of the multiple supported pre-shared keys (PSKs). if any, matches information including the key received from the client device. When the information matches, the client device is allowed to connect to the AP. Provisioning the AP with multiple PSKs allows selectively disconnecting associated client devices from the AP. The AP may be configured to support PSKs of different lifetime and complexity. Removing a PSK of the multiple PSKs supported by the AP and disconnecting a client device that uses this PSK does not disconnect other client devices using different keys to access the AP.05-06-2010
