Abstract:
A radio communication system has a first and a second radio access point and a plurality of radio stations. The first radio access point broadcasts signals having an increasing output power. The first radio access point stops increasing the output power based on a message by at least one radio station located within the radio coverage range of the second radio access point. The message of the at least one radio station located within the radio coverage range of the second radio access point relates to at least one signal of the first radio access point and/or at least one signal of a radio station located within the radio coverage range of the first radio access point.
Abstract:
A mounting apparatus for mounting a data storage device that has a protrusion protruding from a sidewall thereof includes a mounting board, and a bracket. The mounting board includes a depressed portion for holding the data storage device. The depressed portion includes a first side wall. The bracket includes a leg member with an end pivotably mounted to the first side wall of the depressed portion of the mounting board. A first receiving slot for receiving the protrusion of the data storage device is defined in a bottom of the leg member. A drive portion is formed at a side of the receiving slot away from the end of the leg member, for cooperating with a corresponding protrusion of the data storage device when installing the data storage device.
Abstract:
A database search apparatus and method for generating a search result list which responds to Extensible Markup Language (XML) requests from a client to a server of an on-line marketplace. A bid management tool is operable on a client computer to manage search listings and account information of one or more advertisers. The client application communicates with the server via an XML-based application program interface. The bid management tool provides functions for reporting account activity, modifying accounts and manual, timed or event-driven changes to search listings including listings of several advertisers.
Abstract:
Methods and system are disclosed for planning and optimizing plans of a value chain in response to events and exceptions in the value chain with minimal perturbations to the existing plan. When an event or an exception occurs, potential solutions are constructed and evaluated. The potential solutions respect the business process constraints and temporal constraints on transactions, and the true dynamic capacity constraints in the value chain. The impact of the potential solutions on finance and on the existing plan is evaluated. The solution with maximum profit and minimum perturbation to the existing plan is selected and executed. Techniques of achieving the above goals are described.

Abstract:
The DYNAMIC CHECKOUT BUTTON APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (DCB) transforms product page checkout request input and user identification input via DCB components such as offer/discount determination component and checkout button embedding component, into dynamic checkout button outputs.
Abstract:
The claimed system and method allows for an electronic payment system to accept a single card that is both a debit card and a credit card. Further, a user may indicate a default value for the card regarding whether the card should be used as a debit card or a credit card.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to an embodiment of a keyboard application in which a plurality of selectable items (representing keys) are associated with transactions. The keyboard application may be imported into any application that utilizes text input, and replaces a default keyboard used to provide the text input. Upon selection of one of the plurality of selectable items, a transaction is initiated by a service provider computer. In some embodiments, the transaction may result in the engagement of a third party entity. Once completed, an access credential associated with the completion of the transaction is generated. The access credential may be entered into the text input field of the application that utilizes text input.
Abstract:
A compiler method for exploiting data value locality for computation reuse. When a code region having single entry and exit points and in which a potential computation reuse opportunity exists is identified during runtime, a helper thread is created separate from the master thread. One of the helper thread and master thread performs a computation specified in the code region, and the other of the helper thread and master thread looks up a value of the computation previously executed and stored in a lookup table. If the value of the computation previously executed is located in the lookup table, the other thread retrieves the value from the table, and ignores the computation performed by the thread. If the value of the computation is not located, the other thread obtains a result of the computation performed by the thread and stores the result in the lookup table for future computation reuse.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate architectural modeling. In one aspect, a modeling system is provided. This includes a processor configured to generate remodeled images associated with one or more architectural structures. A procedural model is configured to integrate an approximate model from aerial images of the architectural structures and a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model from ground-level images of the architectural structures.
