20090051568 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAGS - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for controlling traffic. A set of vehicles is monitored moving from one radio frequency identification tag sensor to another radio frequency identification tag sensor in a network of radio frequency identification tag sensors to detect movement of the set of vehicles. A set of traffic patterns is identified in response to detecting the movement of the set of vehicles. A determination is made as to whether a traffic pattern in the set of traffic patterns is a delayed traffic pattern. In response to a determination that the traffic pattern in the set of traffic patterns is the delayed traffic pattern for a traffic control light at an intersection, the timing of the traffic control light is changed to increase traffic flow through the intersection. | 02-26-2009 |
20100031271 | DETECTION OF DUPLICATE MEMORY PAGES ACROSS GUEST OPERATING SYSTEMS ON A SHARED HOST - A hypervisor receives a memory page checksum from a guest operating system, which corresponds to a page of memory utilized by the guest. Next, the hypervisor proceeds through a series of steps to detect that the memory page checksum matches a checksum value included in a checksum entry item, which includes an identifier of a different guest. In turn, the hypervisor shares the page of memory between the guest and the different guest in response to detecting that the memory page checksum matches the checksum value included the checksum entry item. | 02-04-2010 |
20100042996 | UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT - In an illustrative embodiment, a computer implemented method for utilization management is provided. The computer implemented method initiates a utilization monitor to monitor a set of processes, records utilization data for an identified process of the set of processes to form recorded utilization data, and determines whether the recorded utilization data exceeds a utilization threshold. The computer implemented method, responsive to a determination that the recorded utilization data exceeds a utilization threshold, performs an action to manage utilization. | 02-18-2010 |
20100150531 | Method to Improve Storage Efficiency of High Definition Digital Video Recorders - A method and computer program product for improving storage efficiency for a digital video recorder. In one embodiment, a determination is made as to whether television programming is being presented on a high definition channel or a standard definition channel. The television programming is recorded using the digital video recorder responsive to determining that the television programming is being presented on a standard definition channel without making any resolution changes to the television programming. A determination is made as to whether the content of the television programming originates in high definition or standard definition. When the television programming originates in standard definition, a determination is made as to whether a corresponding standard definition channel is available. Responsive to determining the corresponding channel is available, the television programming is recorded in standard definition from the corresponding channel. Otherwise, the television programming is downscaled on the high definition channel to a standard definition resolution. | 06-17-2010 |
20100180158 | Managing Statistical Profile Data - The illustrative embodiments disclose a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for refining statistical profile data. In one embodiment, the process interrupts an execution of a software program in response to detecting a profiling event during the execution of the software program. The process then records an event sample associated with the profiling event. The event sample is recorded in a log file. The process also inserts a set of markers describing and associated with the event sample into the log file. The process then resumes the execution of the software program. | 07-15-2010 |
20120192203 | Detection of Duplicate Memory Pages Across Guest Operating Systems on a Shared Host - A hypervisor receives a memory page checksum from a guest operating system, which corresponds to a page of memory utilized by the guest. Next, the hypervisor proceeds through a series of steps to detect that the memory page checksum matches a checksum value included in a checksum entry item, which includes an identifier of a different guest. In turn, the hypervisor shares the page of memory between the guest and the different guest in response to detecting that the memory page checksum matches the checksum value included the checksum entry item. | 07-26-2012 |

20090155565 | STRETCHABLE, HAND-TEARABLE, CONFORMABLE, AND CINCHABLE REINFORCED ADHESIVE TAPE ARTICLES - The disclosure relates to reinforced articles particularly adapted for use, in combination, with an adhesive to form reinforced adhesive tape articles that are stretchable as well as hand-tearable along with being highly conformable and cinchable. | 06-18-2009 |
20100143654 | ADHESIVE ARTICLES AND RELEASE LINERS - The present application is directed to adhesive articles and release liners. Namely, the present application is directed to an article comprising an adhesive layer with a structured surface. The structured surface comprises a first groove and a second groove recessed into the adhesive layer from a reference plane defined by the adhesive surface on either rim of the groove. In some embodiments, the second groove is contained within the first groove, and in other embodiments the grooves are separate. The first groove and the second groove have walls. The wall angle of the first groove with respect to the reference plane is non-zero and is smaller than the wall angle of the second groove with respect to the reference plane. The application is also directed to release liners for the adhesive article, wherein the surface of the release liner is the inverse of the adhesive surface. | 06-10-2010 |
20110300296 | BULK POLYMERIZATION OF SILICONE-CONTAINING COPOLYMERS - Methods for preparing silicone-containing polymers by essentially adiabatic polymerization methods are disclosed. The polymerization system includes free radically polymerizable monomers. The monomers include ethylenically unsaturated cone-containing monomers and/or mercapto-functional silicones as well as additional free radically polymerizable monomers. The silicone-containing polymers are useful as adhesives or release materials. | 12-08-2011 |
