摘要： Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing olfactory delivery in virtualized environments using an olfactory delivery engine. Mimicking physical odor sensations virtually can present users with a real-time odor synthesis that approximates what users would smell in a virtual environment, e.g., as they walk around in virtual reality. A novel Smell Engine is described herein which includes: (i) a Smell Composer framework that allows developers to configure odor sources in virtual space, (ii) a Smell Mixer that dynamically estimates the odor mix that the user would smell, based on diffusion models and relative odor source distances, and (iii) a Smell Controller that coordinates an olfactometer to physically present an approximation of the odor mix to the user's mask from a set of odorants channeled through controllable flow valves. Experimental results show that the Smell Engine can help measure a subject's olfactory detection threshold and improve their ability to precisely localize odors in the virtual environment, as compared to existing trigger-based solutions. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

摘要： A method for providing service levels in a Radio Frequency (RF) network is disclosed. The method including: associating one or more service levels with each supported symbol rate, modulation and error correction encoded scheme (ModCod); assigning a subscriber service level for a RF transmitter; receiving a signal quality of a transmission by the RF transmitter; selecting a transmit ModCod from the supported ModCods, wherein the signal quality exceeds a threshold signal quality for the transmit ModCod; and authorizing the RF transmitter to transmit to the receiver when the subscriber service level is included in the one or more service levels associated with the transmit ModCod, wherein signal quality adapts to a signal fade.

摘要： Novel double- and triple-patterning methods are provided. The methods involve applying a shrinkable composition to a patterned template structure (e.g., a structure having lines) and heating the composition. The shrinkable composition is selected to possess properties that will cause it to shrink during heating, thus forming a conformal layer over the patterned template structure. The layer is then etched to leave behind pre-spacer structures, which comprise the features from the pattern with remnants of the shrinkable composition adjacent the feature sidewalls. The features are removed, leaving behind a doubled pattern. In an alternative embodiment, an extra etch step can be carried out prior to formation of the features on the template structure, thus allowing the pattern to be tripled rather than doubled.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided to maintain deduplication data in native file formats. Files, including entities such as volumes and databases, are analyzed to identify components suitable for deduplication. These components suitable for deduplication are delineated into chunks and identifiers are generated for each of the chunks. The identifiers are used to reference the chunks in deduplication dictionaries that provide locations indicating where deduplicated chunks are stored. The components in the files are replaced with file handles or stubs that applications can use to access deduplicated data. Applications can continue to perform operations on the files as though no deduplication has occurred.

摘要： The invention relates to determining the status of run-time-instrumentation controls. The status is determined by executing a test run-time-instrumentation controls (TRIC) instruction. The TRIC instruction executed in either a supervisor state or a lesser-privileged state. The TRIC instruction determines whether the run-time-instrumentation controls have changed. The run-time-instrumentation controls are set to an initial value using a privileged load run-time-instrumentation controls (LRIC) instruction. The TRIC instruction is fetched and executed. If the TRIC instruction is enabled, then it is determined if the initial value set by the run-time-instrumentation controls has been changed. If the initial value set by the run-time-instrumentation controls has been changed, then a condition code is set to a first value.

摘要： A system for authenticating the user of a computing device comprises an authorized user directory. Each record is uniquely associated with an authorized user and includes at least a computing device ID value that is a globally unique value assigned to the authorized user's computing device, a group of unique depictions such as photographs, an identification of a key depiction. Portions of each image form fiducials recognizable by the user. The record further includes trace pattern verification data representing continuous trace strokes between pairs of the fiducials within the key depiction. To authenticate, the group of images are displayed to the user. The user must first select the key image and secondly trace continuous trace strokes between the pairs of fiducials to match the trace pattern verification data.
