A scroll-based volume controller detects a user selection to scroll through a browser window loaded with data comprising at least one display element, wherein an audio element is associated with the display element and wherein the size of the displayable data is larger than the display area of the browser window. The scroll-based volume controller, responsive to detecting the user selection to scroll through the browser window, calculates a change in position of the display element relative to the browser window. The audio element may include an audio file that is downloaded or streamed to the browser. Next, the scroll-based volume controller automatically adjusts a volume of the associated audio element based on the calculated change in position of the display element relative to the browser window, such that the volume of the audio element, associated with said display element, is automatically adjusted as the position of the display element changes relative to the particular browser window when the user scrolls through the data in the browser window, without the user having to separately select to adjust the volume of the audio element using a separate volume control input.

A method for providing an alert when a potentially or likely malicious web site is browsed to by a user. The method maintains web site identification details. If a web site purporting to be a known, previously identified, encountered and utilized web site is browsed to and requests information, the user is alerted to the precise differences between the stored web site historical identity and the identity of the present requester.

The present invention provides a computer implemented method, apparatus, and data processing system for associating a private part of a keystore of a user with a user authentication process in an encrypting file system. A secure shell daemon server establishes the user authentication process with a secure shell client such that the user authentication process is associated with a user and the user is authenticated. The secure shell daemon server obtains an acknowledgment from the secure shell client. The secure shell daemon server accesses a user public key of the user from the keystore of the user, responsive to receiving the acknowledgment. The secure shell daemon obtains a public secure shell cookie associated with the user from the keystore of the user. The public secure shell cookie is an access key in encrypted form. The access key is based on the user's public key to form the public secure shell cookie. The secure shell daemon server obtains the access key from the secure shell client. The private part of the keystore is associated with the user authentication process, wherein the private part is accessed based on the access key.
摘要:
A method of tying related process threads within non-related applications together in terms of memory paging behavior. In a data processing system, a first process thread is related to one or more “partner” threads within separate high latency storage locations. The kernel analyzes the memory “page-in” patterns of multiple threads and identifies one or more partner threads of the first thread based on user input, observed memory page-in patterns, and/or pre-defined identification information within the thread data structures. The kernel marks the first thread and its corresponding related partner threads with a unique thread identifier. When the first thread is subsequently paged into a lower latency memory, the kernel also pages-in the related partner threads that are marked with the unique thread identifier in lockstep. Tying related threads from non-related applications together in terms of memory paging behavior thus eliminates memory management delays.

Resource utilization information for accessing a file is stored in metadata associated with the file. In response to a command to access the file, the resource utilization information is compared to pre-established warning criteria to determine if the resource utilization for accessing the file meets the criteria for generating a warning. Based on the results of the comparison, a warning message may be output, prior to accessing the file, if results of the comparison indicate that one or more warning criteria are met. The warning message may provide a provide a prompt for a user to determine if he/she still wishes to access the file and if so, the file is accessed; otherwise the operation for accessing the file is terminated prior to the file being accessed.

A battery conservation component synchronizes with a user's schedule or calendar. The battery conservation component may disable functions or features to ensure that the device has sufficient battery life for selected calendar events. The battery conservation component may warn the user if a battery charge is necessary to make selected calendar events. The battery conservation component may be applied to a wide variety of portable devices with time-sensitive events. For example, the battery conservation component may be applied to a device with vehicle navigation and estimate time-sensitive events based on waypoints in the vehicle's route. The battery conservation component may synchronize with a user's travel itinerary. Alternatively, the battery conservation component may suggest alternative functions or features based on a time-sensitive event, such as suggesting a shorter movie on a flight or road trip.

An encryption apparatus and method for providing an encrypted file system are provided. The encryption apparatus and method of the illustrative embodiments uses a combination of encryption methodologies so as to reduce the amount of decryption and re-encryption that is necessary to a file in the Encrypted File System in the event that the file needs to be modified. The encryption methodologies are interleaved, or alternated, with regard to each block of plaintext. In one illustrative embodiment, Plaintext Block Chaining (PBC) and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) encryption methodologies are alternated for encrypting a sequence of blocks of data. The encryption of a block of plaintext is dependent upon the plaintext or a cipher generated for the plaintext of a previous block of data in the sequence of blocks of data so that the encryption is more secure than known Electronic Code Book encryption methodologies.
摘要:
An aspirator cassette includes a housing having first and second ends sealed off by first and second end caps, respectively. A partition mechanism is enclosed within the housing for dividing its internal volume into first and second regions. First and second fluid flow ports are mounted on the first and second end caps, respectively, to provide fluid flow paths into and from the first and second regions, respectively. When the first region is filled with liquid, its associated first port is connected to a vacuum source for sucking the liquid out of the region, whereby as the liquid is removed, the partition mechanism responds by decreasing the volume of the first region, and increasing the volume of the second region causing its second port to draw a vacuum for sucking fluid from an aspiration device connected to the second port.

A method, system and computer-readable medium for generating, caching and transmitting textual equivalents of information contained in an audio signal are presented. The method includes generating a textual equivalent of at least a portion of a speech-based audio signal in one device into a textual equivalent, storing a portion of the textual equivalent in first device's memory and transmitting the stored textual equivalent to a another device.
