摘要： Described herein are processes and devices that collapse areas in a region of a virtual universe to conserve computing resources. One of the devices described is a virtual resource conserver. The virtual resource conserver determines a first area of a region in a virtual universe. The first area has objects or avatars. A first computing resource processes data for presenting and controlling the objects or avatars in the first area. The virtual resource conserver determines a second area of the region that is similar in topology to the first area. The virtual resource conserver moves the objects or avatars from the first area to the second area and transfers data for presenting and controlling the avatars or objects from the first computing resource to a second computing resource. Finally, the virtual resource conserver reduces usage of the first computing resource, thus conserving resources in the virtual universe.

摘要： A system, method, apparatus, and computer program code for conducting or otherwise facilitating a transaction or request involving a product. A transaction or request involving a product is decomposed or broken down into two or more secondary transactions or requests involving the product. Thus, for an initial transaction, a set of two or more secondary transactions is established that take place instead of the initial transaction. A transaction may involve the purchase or sale of a product at one or more marketplaces. If an initial transaction or request can or is to be conducted within a given period, then some or all of the secondary transactions also may occur within the given time period. Some or all of the secondary transactions or requests may be conducted at the same marketplace or at different marketplaces.

摘要： A system produces of an empirical map of wireless communication coverage through a process of combining information from individual clients to produce a map which is then shared by all of the clients. The wireless coverage map aids in maintaining a reliable communications link. The empirical map is generated by combining information from a group of mobile wireless users. The group may consist of a fleet of trucks, taxicabs, government service vehicles, or the customers of a wireless service provider. The mobile vehicles must be equipped with a GPS device or be located by other means such as triangulation. While vehicles are moving, the quality of wireless communication, e.g., signal strength or communication continuity, is recorded for each vehicle as a function of positions. The data from all of the vehicles is combined to produce the empirical map. The empirical map may be maintained at a central site and subsets of the map replicated for individual vehicles. The map may then be used to direct mobile users to sites of superior communications reliability, warn mobile users when they are out of the service area or are about to leave the service area, or to regulate data communications automatically to stop and restart communications as a mobile vehicle passes through a gap in coverage.

摘要： A mobile navigation system implemented as an embedded system in a vehicle is easy to use, does not detract the driver's attention from the road, and limits the number of choices presented to the user of the navigation system according to a predetermined set of preferences or personalized information. Choices are filtered according to a set of driver preferences, according to the vehicle's geographic position, direction of motion, and the driver's intended itinerary. The itinerary, including intermediate stops, is calculated on an external computing system. The information is downloaded from the computing system to a memory device such as, for example, a smart card. The information is then transferred from the smart card to the embedded vehicle navigation system. In one application of the invention, a kiosk located at a car rental agency may be used to create and store personalized navigation information onto a smart card which the customer then inserts into the vehicle navigation system that is installed in the rental car.

摘要： Automated bonding of chips to tape and formation of bonding structures on Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) packaging structures are provided with bonding balls on the ends of beams leads of the TAB tape. Also balltape bonding balls are aligned on stacked TAB sheets and bonded together to form via interconnections through stacked balltape balls in multilayer, electronic packaging structures. Interconnection structures are provided for a universal chip connection laminate which can be applied between a chip and an MLC package. Area TAB tape, which comprises a modification of TAB tape provides balltape TAB connections by means of balltape bonds to areas within the interior of a chip whose leads are bonded in a TAB tape arrangement to the Inner Lead Bonds of the area tape.
