US Classification:

710129, 710128, 713323, 713320, 711105, 711 5

Abstract:

A memory system includes an interconnect structure with a high speed channel and a low speed channel. A memory device with interface circuitry is coupled to the interconnect structure. The interface circuitry includes a high power interface for coupling to the high speed channel and a low power interface for coupling to the low speed channel. The memory device is operative in a low power mode and a high power mode. A memory controller is coupled to the high speed channel and the low speed channel of the interconnect structure. The memory controller is configured to transmit control information over the low speed channel to set the power mode of the memory device. The memory device is operative in a low power mode during which high power receiver circuits are turned off. The memory device is also operative in a nap mode during which an internal clock compensation circuit is left on to preserve phase information. The memory system may include multiple memory devices coupled to a daisy chained lead of the interconnect structure.

US Classification:

372 36, 372 56, 372 62

Abstract:

A cooling structure ( ) for use inside a ceramic cylindrical tube ( ) of a metal vapor laser ( ) to cool the plasma in the tube ( ), the cooling structure ( ) comprising a plurality of circular metal members ( ) and mounting members ( ) that position the metal members ( ) coaxially in the tube ( ) to form an annular lasing volume, with the metal members ( ) being axially spaced from each other along the length of the tube ( ) to prevent the metal members from shorting out the current flow through the plasma in the tube ( ) and to provide spaces through which the heat from localized hot spots in the plasma may radiate to the other side of the tube ( ).

US Classification:

718 1, 718100, 718102, 718104

Abstract:

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for virtualizing performance counters are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a counter, a counter enable storage location, counter enable logic, and virtual machine control logic. The counter enable storage location is store a counter enable indicator. The counter enable logic is to enable the counter, based on the counter enable indicator. The virtual machine control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus to a guest. The virtual machine control logic includes guest state load logic to cause a guest value from a virtual machine control structure to be loaded into the counter enable storage location in connection with a transfer of control of the apparatus to a guest.

Inventors:

Andrew Anderson - Los Gatos CA, US
Charles Chen - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G09G005/00

US Classification:

345/864000

Abstract:

A system and method are disclosed for automatic manipulation of content for display on different devices, including devices having small display areas. In one embodiment, the disclosed system and method provide for reconfiguration of source content by manipulating the source content from top to bottom and from right to left. Elements of the source content that are not commonly supported among a wide array of devices and formats, as well as spacer images, are filtered from the source content. Table data is reconfigured by copying the table content and replacing the table cells with line breaks. Further, if the source content is larger than a predetermined size, a reconfiguration application divides the source content into sub-documents, each sub-document having a size smaller or equal to the threshold size. Individual sub-documents may include a link to another one of the sub-documents. By reconfiguring the source content, the source content may be transmitted to and displayed at any of a wide variety of devices.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

719318

Abstract:

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for controlling virtual machines based on performance counters are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an event counter, a comparator, and virtualization control logic. The event counter is to keep an event count based on the number of occurrences of an event. The comparator is to determine whether the event count has reached a threshold value. The virtualization control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus from a guest to a host in response to the comparator determining that the event count has reached the threshold value.

Abstract:

Media is provided to a client device in response to a request with dynamically selected advertisements. One or more advertisements can be dynamically selected by an application server based on user data, advertisement parameters and other data to provide in or near the requested media. Attributes can be determined for one or more advertisement sets in which advertisements are placed within the requested media. The advertisement sets may be configured with the identified advertisements by an application server, and the requested media content and identified ads can be provided to the requesting client device.
