| 20120017207 | Apparatuses, Methods and Systems for a Social Networking Application Updater - Software on a client device receives a notification from a server of the availability of an update for an application that is a multi-user social networking application. The software determines whether the state for a live process has been saved by the server. The software saves the state for a live process associated with the application if the state of the live process is not saved. The software kills the live process. Then the software downloads at least one file associated with the update and modifies at least one system database key or value associated with the application. The software launches the application as updated. And the software loads the state into the application as updated. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20110209133 | APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A SOCIAL NETWORKING APPLICATION UPDATER - The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR A SOCIAL NETWORKING APPLICATION UPDATER provide live reconciliation of code updates to multi-user social networking applications in highly dynamic build environments (“SNAM”). In one embodiment, an application updating processor-implemented method is disclosed. In this embodiment, the SNAM obtains a module dependency graph for a current version of an application. It identifies current module version numbers for one or more modules in the module dependency graph for the current version of the application. The SNAM obtains, for the modules in the module dependency graph, module version numbers for updated module versions. It analyzes compatibility specifications for the current version of the application and the updated module versions; The SNAM determines that the updated version of the application can be generated based on the analysis. It obtains an updated module version for one of the modules in the module dependency graph of the current version of the application; and generates the updated version of the application using the obtained updated module version. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090273820 | PLASMOSTOR: A-METAL-OXIDE-SI FIELD EFFECT PLASMONIC MODULATOR - The invention is a system and method for performing all-optical modulation. A semiconductor layer having a defined thickness has an insulator adjacent one surface of the semiconductor. Conductive layers are provided adjacent the semiconductor layer and the insulator. A photodetector is provided to generate an electric field across the conductive layers in response to an input optical gate signal. An input optical signal is modulated by interaction with a plasmon wave generated at the semiconductor/conductive layer interface. By defining the thickness of the semiconductor layer, a desired wavelength of light supports the plasmon waves. Operation of the all-optical modulator requires the provision of an input optical signal of a desired wavelength and the provision of a gate optical signal. An output optical signal is recovered and can be used to store, display or transmit information, for example over a fiber optic communication system, such as a telecommunication system. | 11-05-2009 |
