20100088450 | COMPONENT RETENTION MECHANISM - A component retention mechanism facilitates improved installation, retention and removal of hardware components (e.g., PCI cards) on a personal computer. The retention mechanism includes a locking component, support member, and release mechanism coupled to each other. The locking component can be a steel bar or other stiff item positioned proximate to multiple socket connectors on a circuit board. The locking component moves between unlocked and locked positions that mechanically and simultaneously unlock or lock in place multiple add-in cards inserted into the socket connectors. The support member moves and thereby facilitates movement of the locking component between locked and unlocked positions. The release mechanism facilitates movement of the support member and is actuated when a force is exerted by a user thereto. An associated slider housing coupled to the release mechanism and support member includes a fan, support shelves and a door that provides additional support to oversized PCI cards. | 04-08-2010 |

20130166604 | Identifying and Reacting to Changes in an Extensible Automatic Runtime Object Management System - A method includes receiving input indicating a listener object and an interface for an object class corresponding to a persisted object of an object model retained by a database, where the interface has multiple different implementations within the object model; recording information indicating that the listener object has an interest in persistent data associated with the interface for the object class corresponding to the persisted object; in connection with a transaction with the database and when each of multiple calls is received for the database, checking whether the interface for the object class corresponding to the persisted object is associated with the call, wherein each of the calls alerts the database to changes for data managed by the database; and communicating with the listener object when the interface for the object class corresponding to the persisted object was associated with at least one of the calls during the transaction. | 06-27-2013 |

20140019850 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVE SYNCHRONIZATION OF A DISPLAY LAYOUT - A method and apparatus for synchronizing selected attributes of a target page element on a target display layout with modified attributes of a source page element on a source display layout is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a command to synchronize a target display layout, wherein the target display layout comprises at least one target page element linked to a source page element on a source display layout; accessing a plurality of synchronization preferences, wherein the synchronization preferences define at least one selected attribute of a plurality of attributes of a target page element to be synchronized with an attribute of the linked source page element; determining whether the selected attribute of the source page element has been synchronized with the target page element; and updating the target page element when the modified attribute of the source page element has not been synchronized with the target page element. | 01-16-2014 |

20130002218 | Low Noise Voltage Regulator - A low noise voltage regulator generally includes an output switching stage and an amplifier, both of which contribute current to produce an output voltage at a substantially constant level. The amplifier produces a current that is based on a difference between a reference voltage and a feedback of the output voltage. The current from the amplifier (and optionally also from a current ramp generator) counterbalances the current from the output switching stage to maintain the output voltage at the substantially constant level. The output switching stage is controlled in response to a level of the counterbalancing current. | 01-03-2013 |

20090154671 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A communication system is disclosed which is arranged to cause establishment of a connection between a first system that is a party to a call, or is a party to a call being initiated, and a second system. The first and second systems are arranged to communicate via said connection. The communication comprises a data dialogue that is separate to initiation communications for the call. At least one of the first system and the second system is arranged to store data, or to cause a change to an application or data or process in dependence on the data dialogue. A corresponding method is also disclosed. | 06-18-2009 |
