| 20110179401 | ENGINE FOR RENDERING WIDGETS USING PLATFORM-SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES - A widget engine renders widgets using operating system platform-specific attributes. A widget application written at least partly in platform non-specific code is rendered by the widget engine through a series of system calls and callbacks. Upon interpreting particular code, the widget engine issues a system call to a module for performing a particular type of action. The module, based on the operating system platform, calls a platform-specific library that specifies how to carry out the action according to the operating system platform. Thereafter, using the returned platform-specific data, the widget engine renders the widget. | 07-21-2011 |

Next, the system can post the memory descriptor for the memory buffer at the memory-descriptor location. The system can then update the MBUS to indicate that the memory buffer is in use. Next, the system can store a packet in the memory buffer, and post a completion descriptor in a completion-descriptor location to indicate that the packet is ready to be processed. If the completion-descriptor indicates that the memory buffer is ready to be reclaimed, the system can reclaim the memory buffer, and update the MBUS to indicate that the memory buffer has been reclaimed. | 12-30-2010 |
