| 20090037404 | EXTENDED CURSOR SHARING - Techniques for sharing cursors are provided. When a new query is issued, a database server determines whether the new query is semantically equivalent to a previous query. If so, then database server computes statistics associated with the new query. Based on the statistics, the database server determines whether compiling the new query would produce an execution plan that satisfies certain criteria. If so, then the cursor is used to execute the new query. In another approach, one cursor sharing technique (CST) is used to determine which cursor to use to execute a first set of semantically-equivalent queries. Statistics are gathered during execution of the first set of queries. The database server determines, based on the statistics, when to switch from using the first CST to a different CST. The different CST is used to determine which cursor to use to execute a second set of queries that are semantically-equivalent to the first set. | 02-05-2009 |

The data is encoded by an optically detectable quantity (e.g., light intensity or color) or a pattern in one or more portions of the object. The data can be carried by the distribution of the optically detectable quantity within the image or its derivative. The field of view of the camera may be divided into multiple sub-areas to allow providing multiple data-bearing images. A sequence of such images may be used to increase the amount of data that can be transmitted in this manner. In addition, the time domain can be used to create one further dimension of data encoding. In addition, communication in the opposite direction may be provided using one or more lighting devices in the camera. One use is to provide a response (e.g., acknowledgement or non-acknowledgement to the data transmission based on the data recovered). The camera's response may be detected by one or more light detectors outside of the camera. Communication can be carried out using an interactive communication protocol. By providing multiple lighting devices in the camera and multiple light detectors in the outside, the system provides a parallel data bus, which may include a clock signal to govern timing on the bus. The data may be represented as quantized values. | 03-19-2009 |

These frames can be designated for discard to conserve storage space or conserve power. A capsule control processing unit is incorporated to evaluate motion metric based on image data associated with a current frame and a previous frame. A decision is made based on a profile of the motion metric to select an operation mode from a group comprising Capture Mode and Conservation Mode. The capsule camera system is then operated according to the selected operation mode. | 09-02-2010 |

The selected local media item can be related to a previously broadcast media item to ensure continuity in the user's listening or viewing experience. The electronic device can switch away from the local media item and return to the media stream when the media stream again broadcasts media items or segments of interest to the user. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100269145 | ACCESSING RADIO CONTENT FROM A NON-RADIO SOURCE - Systems and methods are provided for accessing broadcast media items and segments from non-broadcast sources. In response to detecting that a user has not finished listening to a broadcast segment (e.g., a radio segment), an electronic device can automatically identify and access an alternate, non-broadcast source for the same broadcast segment (e.g., a corresponding podcast episode). Using the electronic device, a user can play back the segment from the non-broadcast source, starting playback at the last position of the broadcast segment when the user stopped listening to the broadcast. In some embodiments, the electronic device can update library counts (e.g., play counts and new/not new tags) based on media items and segments played back as part of a media broadcast. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20100061016 | Method to make an integrated side shield PMR head with non conformal side gap - A non-conformal integrated side shield structure is disclosed for a PMR write head wherein the sidewalls of the side shield are not parallel to the pole tip sidewalls. Thus, the side gap distance between the leading pole tip edge and side shield is different than the side gap distance between the trailing pole tip edge and side shield.

| 20100036861 | Method and System for Implementing Parallel Transformations of Records - An improved approach is described for implementing transformations of data records in high concurrency environments. Each transformation is performed in parallel at the source when the data record is first generated. According to one approach for data integrity validation, record generators compute an integrity checksum for a newly generated record before copying into a data unit in shared memory. Subsequent generators may aggregate integrity checksums for data records into checksums for data units incrementally. This approach achieves end-to-end protection of data records against corruption using an efficient method of maintaining verifiable data integrity. In another approach, compression and encryption data transformations may be performed by themselves, or in combination with an integrity checksum transformation. | 02-11-2010 |
