Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110225464RESILIENT CONNECTIVITY HEALTH MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK - A framework is provided for diagnosing and resolving wireless connectivity-related issues. For example, some embodiments of the invention provide a “health monitor” which monitors and logs wireless connectivity-related events occurring on the device, the network, and the one or more resources to which the device is connected. The health monitor may analyze these events and/or other information to determine when a connectivity problem may have arisen, and if a problem is determined to be imminent or to have occurred, may initiate recovery procedures. In some embodiments, the monitoring of events, analysis to determine whether a connectivity problem has arisen, and the recovery from the problem occur transparently to the user.09-15-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090300546Creation and suggestion of contact distribution lists - Techniques described herein allow for suggesting creation of distribution lists and suggesting use of distribution lists once they have been created. For instance, these techniques may track a frequency with which contacts (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers, screen names, etc.) are used with one another. The techniques may then suggest that a user create a distribution list that includes those contacts. Furthermore, once a contact has been associated with a particular distribution list, these techniques may suggest that a user send a message to this distribution list in response to the user selecting the contact (rather than the list) as a destination of the message.12-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100241912Fast bit-error rate calculation mode for QKD systems - A fast bit-error rate (F-BER) calculation mode for a QKD system is disclosed, wherein the method includes establishing versions of a sifted key in respective sifted-bits (SB) buffers in respective QKD stations (Alice and Bob). The method also includes sending Alice's version of the sifted key to Bob, and Bob performing a comparison of the two sifted key versions. The number of bit errors between the two sifted key versions relative to the length of the sifted key yields the F-BER. The F-BER is calculated much more quickly than the conventional BER calculation (“N-BER”), which involves performing a relatively complex error-correction algorithm. The F-BER calculation mode is particularly useful in quickly setting up and/or calibrating a QKD system, and can be repeated quickly to provide updated BER measurements after each QKD system adjustment.09-23-2010
