Abstract:
Technologies are generally described to send distributed user interface elements to a customer. In some examples, a virtualization server may receive an application to be provided to a customer. The virtualization server may separate the application into multiple user interface elements and encapsulate each user interface element with virtualization components for individual delivery to the customer. Subsequently, the virtualization server may then forward the encapsulated element(s) to one or more customer devices.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to generate a message that may be sent to a social network. Power information from an electronic device may be detected by a power detector and received by a processor. For example, a power consumption profile of an appliance may be detected. The processor may classify the power information to produce descriptive data. For example, the processor may determine that an oven has been turned on for a period of time. The processor may generate the message by applying one or more rules to the descriptive data. For example, the processor may generate a message relating to consumption of dinner based on the determination that the oven has been turned on.
Abstract:
Bioplastics may be produced from starch having an amylopectin content by enzymatically cleaving substantially only α-1,6 bonds of the amylopectin in the starch, leaving the α-1,4 bonds substantially intact. The plastic may be biodegradable, and may be edible if a non-toxic plasticizer is used. Methods for producing the plastic are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Luminance adjustment films that include at least one microcapsule containing at least one photoisomerizable compound which selectively decreases luminance of visible light in reaction to ultraviolet light having an intensity distribution which reflects a luminance distribution of the visible light are described.
Abstract:
In some examples, data to be transmitted by a transmit node to at least one receive node may be compressed according to one or more sets of compression parameters. One or more estimated peak to average power ratios (PAPRs) to transmit one or more resulting versions of compressed data may be calculated based on precoder data associated with the at least one receive node. A version of the compressed data that has an estimated PAPR that is less than a PAPR threshold value may be sent to the transmit node to transmit to the at least one receive node. Alternately, a version of the compressed data that has an estimated PAPR that is a lowest estimated PAPR relative to at least some other estimated PAPRs corresponding to other versions of the compressed data may be sent to the transmit node to transmit to the at least one receive node.
Abstract:
In some examples, a system to produce refined location information for multiple vehicles may aggregate GPS coordinates collected from each of multiple devices over a period of time, estimate a location for each of the multiple devices at intervals during the period of time, track the locations for each of the multiple devices over the period of time, and determine a current location, on a road, of the vehicle corresponding to each of the devices based on a detected trend of the tracked locations for each of the multiple devices over the period of time.
Abstract:
Technologies related to tumid implants and pumps are generally described. In some examples, a tumid implant device may comprise an enclosed sack membrane adapted to fit between bones in a joint. Articulation of the joint may cause a first layer of the membrane to move through a first boundary section into a second layer of the membrane, while the second layer moves through a second boundary section into the first layer. A working fluid may be disposed inside the sack membrane, and a reservoir may optionally be coupled to the membrane via a gate. The working fluid may be expelled from the sack membrane into the reservoir, and may re-enter the sack membrane from the reservoir in response to changes in pressure in the joint. The working fluid may be conducted into the reservoir or sack membrane by a pump, and several artery pump designs are disclosed.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for mitigation of a convergence attack in a network portion that includes multiple nodes interconnected by links in a closed configuration. In some examples, the attack may be detected by a detection module of an attack mitigation system in response to a determination that received average time to live (TTL) values of data packets are substantially decreased over the multiple nodes of the network portion. An identification module of the system may identify one or more potential attack links causing the attack, and generate a list from the potential attack links. The identification module may iterate the list across the potential attack links to gather traffic statistics of the network portion, and determine one or more attack links based on the traffic statistics. User-specific data traffic throttling to the attack links may then be enforced by a throttling module of the system to mitigate the attack.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for methods and systems configured to increase a range of a network. In an example, a method for increasing a range of a first network may include sending a request by a communication device to a network device while the communication device is in a range of the first network. The request may include a request for discovery data that identifies the first network. The method may further include receiving, by the communication device, the discovery data. The method may further include broadcasting, by the communication device, information based on the discovery data when the communication device is outside the range of the first network and when the communication device is configured to communicate over a second network. The second network may be different from the first network.
