| 20090300597 | APPLICATION LOADING - Extensions or additional software programs that are requested by a computer application running on an application platform are handled in an efficient manner by, among other things, regulating and tracking extensions that are downloaded. This allows the size of the application platform upon which the application is running to remain relatively small so as to mitigate strain on resources when the platform is initially deployed over a network (e.g., the Internet), thus making it easier and more likely for a user to install the application platform (and/or updates thereto). Requested extensions are subsequently added to and/or removed from the (already deployed) application platform based on, among other things, download metrics. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090328066 | UNTRUSTED COMPONENT HOSTING - In a computing environment, one may wish to have interoperability between trusted and untrusted controls/plug-ins allowing for richer expression of content and control within a platform. This can be accomplished by allowing an untrusted plug-in to communicate with a trusted plug-in, while having the trusted plug-in exercise control over the platform. This allows for the creation of a layered secure approach of communication with a platform, thus allowing for increased application richness in untrusted third party applications. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100146379 | ISOLATING APPLICATIONS HOSTED BY PLUG-IN CODE - Described is a technology in which one application running in a browser can host another application (e.g., an advertisement) in an isolated manner that prevents the hosted application from accessing browser data, or data of any other hosted application (including the host). The host and/or hosted application may be a browser plug-in (e.g., Microsoft® Silverlight™) application. The host application privately instantiates a hidden plug-in, with that hidden plug-in's access to browser data disabled, and loads the hosted application in the hidden plug-in. A XAML tag element may be used to identify the hosted application, along with a rendering area for the hosted application. Content from the hosted application is composited with content from the host application when rendering. The host application may provide keywords to the hosted application, such as for selecting relevant advertisements, and/or may allow the hosted application to open a browser window to display associated website content. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090109598 | Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device and method of formation thereof - In a method of fabricating a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device, initially, a first electrode is provided. An oxide layer is provided on the first electrode, and a protective layer is provided on the oxide layer. An opening through the protective layer is provided to expose a portion of the oxide layer, and a portion of the first electrode underlying the exposed portion of the oxide layer is oxidized. A second electrode is provided in contact with the exposed portion of the oxide layer. In alternative embodiments, the initially provided oxide layer may be eliminated, and spacers of insulating material may be provided in the opening. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090109727 | Erase, programming and leakage characteristics of a resistive memory device - The present method provides annealing of a resistive memory device so as to provide that the device in its erased state has a greatly increased resistance as compared to a prior art approach. The annealing also provides that the device may be erased by application of any of a plurality of electrical potentials within an increased range of electrical potentials as compared to the prior art. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20120081983 | METHOD OF PROGRAMMING, ERASING AND REPAIRING A MEMORY DEVICE - A method of programming and erasing a memory device is provided. The memory device includes first and second electrodes and a switching layer therebetween. A first on-state resistance characteristic of the memory device is provided in programming the memory device by application of a first voltage to the gate of a transistor in series with the memory device. Other on-state resistance characteristics of the memory device, different from the first on-state resistance characteristic, may be provided by application of other voltages, different from the first voltage, to the gate of the transistor. | 04-05-2012 |
