Abstract:
Systems and methods for encoding floating point numbers. A system can include encoding logic which encodes invalid floating point representations as valid data. Decoding logic can be used to recognize the invalid floating point representations and map can provide the invalid floating point representations to valid data values. The decoding logic then can provide the valid data values so that operations on the valid data values can be performed in accordance with instructions received from an associated program.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a web service description such that the web service description is adapted for use with mobile devices. A web services accelerator is adapted to receive a web service description that defines an interface to a web service, create at least one accelerator output file from the web service description, and transmit the at least one accelerator output file to a mobile device. Accelerator output files are used by the mobile device to invoke web services.
Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating synchronization of spaced-apart database copies, such as a mobile node database copy and a network-based database copy. A change list is created to list change indicia associated with changes made to a database. When synchronization operations are selected to be initiated, a change list lock locks the change list to prohibit subsequent alteration of the change list. And, a change list identifier uniquely identifies the change list, thereby to identify the change list to be associated with a particular synchronization session. Subsequent synchronization operations are thereafter performed.
Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating synchronization of databases connected by way of a radio air interface. Changes to a data record embodied at the network part are detected by a detector. A mapping is performed by a mapper, and a synchronization request is generated by a synchronization request generator. The synchronization request is filtered by a filter, and converted into form to permit its efficient communication upon the radio air interface to a mobile node pursuant to a synchronization session.
