摘要： Embodiments of the invention relate to dynamic power management of storage volumes and disk arrays in a storage subsystem to mitigate loss of performance resulting from the power management. The volumes and arrays are prioritized, and in real-time power is selectively reduced in response to both the prioritization and an energy savings goal. A feedback loop is provided to dynamically measure associated power gain based upon a lowering of power consumption, and device selection may be adjusted based upon received feedback.

摘要： An automatic calendar-managing system automatically updates a user's schedule in response to schedule-modifying events. During operation, the system can detect a schedule-modifying event, which can include an event that is likely to require the user to modify a set of scheduled activities. The system then generates a schedule modification, which includes at least one change to the user's set of scheduled activities, to account for the schedule-modifying event. The system can reschedule the user's set of scheduled activities to accommodate the schedule modification.

摘要： A system and method for a Micro Electro-Mechanical System acoustic sensor, or MEMS acoustic sensor, to be used as an implanted microphone for totally implantable cochlear implants or middle ear implants is presented. The MEMS acoustic sensor comprises a coupler that attaches the sensor to an inner part of the ear, a MEMS acoustic sensor that converts acoustic vibrations into a change in capacitance, and a low-noise interface electronics circuit chip that detects the change in capacitance in the MEMS acoustic sensor, creates an signal representing a portion of the acoustic vibrations, and transmits the signal to one or more other devices, such as a cochlear implant. A method of fabrication enables the MEMS acoustic sensor to be fabricated as a small, less than 1 mm3, light weight, less than 30 mg, device suitable for implantation on a structure of the middle ear.

摘要： A client device can receive information about a population to which a user belongs. During operation, the client device determines information about a user, determines a group identifier for the user, and communicates the determined information about the local user and the group identifier to a group-modeling server. The client device then receives a group-activity model that corresponds to the group identifier, and generates a user-activity model for the local user based on the group-activity model and the determined information about the local user. The client device uses the user-activity model to compute an activity probability for a corresponding target activity. The group-modeling server receives user information from a plurality of client devices of a group, and generates a group-activity model for the group based on the user information. The server then sends the group-activity model to users of the identified group.
