A hearing aid includes an image sensing device, a sound input transducer, a sound output transducer, and a processor. The image sensing device detects an image from a selected region of a user of the hearing aid while the sound input transducer receives sound and produces an audio signal representative of the sound. The sound output transducer receives the audio signal and converts the audio signal to a sound wave that is provided to the user. The processor receives the image, analyzes the image to determine an existence of human-generated sound, and provides the audio signal from the sound input transducer to the sound output transducer when human-generated sound is detected. The audio signal is provided at a first level when human-generated sound is detected and is provided at a second level in an absence of human-generated sound.

A system for object discovery in heterogeneous object systems includes a fixed object system having a registry. A callee object having a rendezvous name is registered in the registry of the fixed object system under the rendezvous name. The system also includes an adaptive object system having a remote procedure call protocol abstraction layer. The remote procedure call protocol abstraction layer is configured to access the registry of the fixed object system.

An exemplary method for repurposing user identity tokens comprises receiving identification information from a user, the user having an existing user identity token and seeking to repurpose the token, obtaining a repurpose identifier associated with the user, enabling a configuration of an identification tag based on the repurpose identifier, and associating the identification tag with the identity token.

A Very Local Area Network (VLAN) comprises a power strip device having an electrical connector for connection to an AC power supply line and one or more surge protectors and line filters. Multiple electrical power outlet sockets receive plugs from electrical appliances. A communications pathway interconnects the multiple electrical power outlet sockets to enable communication between appliances connected to the sockets. Electronics configure appliances as they are connected to the sockets to enable them to communicate over the communications pathway.

A communications framework operable to support remote method invocation in a distributed object environment. The communications framework supporting a base class having an interface definition for a virtual query_op method, the interface definition specifying that the query_op method accepts a reference to a specifier for an operation to be performed, and that the query_op method returns a reference to a dispatch function to be invoked to perform the operation provided as an argument to an invocation of the query_op method, wherein the dispatch function accepts as arguments a reference to a target object on which to perform the operation and a reference to an object containing a list of values passed to and returned from the operation. A target object derives from the base class and provides an implementation for the query_op method. Other systems and methods are disclosed.

In a method for testing a component of a distributed system, a first invocation request is sent to the component, where the first invocation request includes an identifier. A second invocation request is sent to a second component, where the second invocation request carries the identifier from the first invocation request. In addition, the second component switches behavior based upon the identifier, where the switching of behavior of the second component is employed to test the component.

In one aspect, the invention encompasses a method of information storage and retrieval. A first communication is stored as data in a database with an identifier code. At least a portion of the data corresponding to the first communication is sent to a printer which prints a portion of the first communication together with the identifier code on a substrate. The first communication printed on the substrate is changed to form a second communication which is different from the first communication. The second communication is scanned with a scanning machine which digitizes the second communication and also digitizes the identifier code that had been printed on the substrate. Information is extracted from the digitized identifier code with a processor. The processor is in data communication with the database and is configured to utilize the extracted information to retrieve the first communication from the database. The digitized second communication is compared with the data of the first communication to identify differences between the second communication and the first communication.
摘要:
A device with compressing memory management for effectively increasing the size of its physical memory while insulating applications from the underlying memory compression. A device according to the present techniques includes a memory that holds a set of information in a compressed domain and a processor that accesses the information in an uncompressed domain. The device includes mechanisms for transferring the information between the compressed and uncompressed domains in a manner that is transparent to software elements executing in the device.

An accessory device is directly connected in a non-networked manner to an electronic device. The accessory device is to be used by a web application running on a computing device connected to the electronic device over a network. The accessory device has a shared context or an owned context. The shared context specifies that usage of the accessory device is shared among the web application and one or more other web applications. The owned context specifies that the usage of the accessory device is exclusive to the web application and not to any other web application.

A method of converting data for printing using a computer is disclosed herein. The computer comprises a first processor having first memory associated therewith and second processor having second memory associated therewith. The method includes converting at least a portion of a page in a printer defined language to a display list using the first processor; transferring the display list to the second memory; converting the display list to at least one bit map using the second processor; and transferring the bit map to the first memory.
