20120102154 | Cloud-Based Transcoding Platform Systems and Methods - Methods and systems for transcoding in a cloud computing platform are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a receiver receives an uploading file by one data block at a time, and stores the received data blocks in various storage modules. Small segment files are then generated when the size of the received data blocks is larger than a threshold. A transcoder transcodes the small segment files from one format such as a bit rate or a frame size to another while the receiver is still receiving a new data block. The transcoded small segment files may be stitched together to form a stitched file, which may be stored in a storage module to be downloaded through a content distribution network (CDN). The transcoded small segment files may be passed to streaming servers for streaming over a network while the receiver is still receiving a new data block of the uploading file. | 04-26-2012 |
20120161878 | POWER AMPLIFIER CONTROL CIRCUIT - This disclosure provides systems, apparatus, and methods for switching a portion of a power amplifier on and off during different modes of operation. In one aspect, a control circuit can include separate switches to provide bias currents to different portions of a power amplifier. The control circuit can include another switch to electrically connect outputs of the separate switches in a first mode of operation (for example, a high power mode) and electrically isolate the outputs of the separate switches in a second mode of operation (for example, a low power mode). In some implementations, a circuit element, such as a field effect transistor or a diode, can turn off one of the separate switches in the second mode. Alternatively or additionally, another circuit element, such as a field effect transistor or a diode, can prevent a power amplifier portion from turning on in the second mode. | 06-28-2012 |

20090068999 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVISIONING A WIRELESS DEVICE - A method and system for controlling the provisioning of a device with information for accessing services of a wireless service provider via a wireless network is provided. The provisioning system initially stores automatic provisioning information on the device that includes the identification of wireless service providers that have the capability to automatically provision the device. When a user of the device wants to subscribe to a service of a service provider, the provisioning system requests an automatic provisioning service of the service provider to provide information describing available services and information needed to subscribe to those services. When the user selects a service and provides the needed information, the provisioning system retrieves provisioning information for the selected service from the service provider. The provisioning system stores the provisioning information on the device so that the device can then be used to access the selected service of the service provider. | 03-12-2009 |
20130060924 | GRANULAR CLIENT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT WITH CONFLICT RESOLUTION - Granular inventory management with conflict resolution at a target is provided. A client receives inventory management requests, as default settings and/or from a server. Each request includes action instance(s), which have an action key, action type, action detail(s), a precedence, and a sequence number. The client identifies a conflict if two instances have the same action type but incompatible detail(s). The client resolves the conflict, based on precedence and sometimes also on sequence numbers. The client performs the resulting action instance(s), and results are sent back for inclusion in an inventory report. Action details may specify a schedule for recurring actions. A precedence may be specified by an administrator or be built-in. Default and other requests may be defined by viewing inventory classes in a graphical user interface, entering an action based on inventory class(es), and entering target device group selection(s). Inventory classes may be captured from a live system. | 03-07-2013 |

20120036484 | RELATIONSHIP VISUALIZATION AND GRAPHICAL INTERACTION MODEL IN IT CLIENT MANAGEMENT - Displaying a hierarchy. A method includes identifying a set of nodes representing sites in a hierarchy. The set of nodes share one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy. The method further includes determining that the set of nodes, as a set, meet a predetermined condition. As a result of the nodes sharing the one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy and as a result of the set meeting the predetermined condition, the method further includes aggregating at least a portion of the set of nodes. The method further includes displaying in a graphical user interface a representation of the hierarchy including displaying the aggregated portion as a single entity in the hierarchy. | 02-09-2012 |
20120062482 | METHOD OF SCANNING TOUCH ON TOUCH SCREEN - The present invention discloses a method of scanning a touch on a touch screen, where drive lines and sense lines of the touch screen form a matrix network. The method includes: instructing the touch screen to enter into a standby mode if no touch has been detected for a time that reaches or exceeds a preset time in a working mode of the touch screen; in the standby mode, scanning A drive lines and sensing B sense lines, said A being an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than M, and said B being an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, where M is the total number of the drive lines and N is the total number of the sense lines; instructing the touch screen to enter into the working mode if there is a current fluctuation on the sense lines which are sensed in the standby mode; in the working mode, scanning all the drive lines and sensing all the sense lines. The touch screen is instructed to enter into the energy-saving standby mode if no touch has been detected by the time that reaches or exceeds the preset time, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the touch screen. | 03-15-2012 |
