Abstract:
A system and method for interactively sharing, synchronizing and controlling information among a plurality of users with different electronic contact types using network-based communication between a plurality of client applications on a plurality of mobile devices and a central controller computer, are described. In an exemplary embodiment, an information context may be configured as open by a first client application. A plurality of client applications may then share information within the information context whereby the plurality of client applications may join the information context using the information context identifier. A method for synchronization allows for shared information on different client devices to be controlled and automatically synchronized by the central controller. Messages, data structures, communications, and protocols between clients and the central controller allowing at least the creation, update, and deletion of information data related to the event, are described.
Abstract:
A method and system for processing and managing activation of conditional offers initiated by a buyer device and bid offer responses from multiple seller devices. The method and system of the present invention comprise a mechanism for buyer devices to request bid offers from multiple seller devices using product keywords; seller devices to provide an offer for an exact or similar product with a condition; the buyer device activating the condition by quantifying a purchase intent for completing the transaction; buyer devices may be used to review, select, accept and activate one or more bid offers by quantifying the specified purchase intent through at least one central controller consisting of a central processing unit, operating system software to run the central processing unit and data storage means to identify at least buyer devices, seller devices and transaction attributes.
Abstract:
A device and a method for a sense circuit have been disclosed. In an implementation, the sense circuit includes a sense amplifier and at least one decoupling device. The decoupling device is coupled to the sense amplifier through at least one reference line. The sense amplifier reads a data value and the decoupling device decouples the sense amplifier from a power supply during a read operation.

Abstract:
Generally, the present disclosure is directed to metal-to-metal sealing systems and methods for use with the various pressure-retaining components, and in particular to pressure-retaining components that may be used in mudline suspension systems. In one illustrative embodiment, a system is disclosed that includes a first pressure-retaining component having an outside face, the outside face including first and second metal sealing surfaces proximate an end of the first pressure-retaining component, wherein the second metal sealing surface is positioned along the outside face between the first metal sealing surface and the end of the first pressure-retaining component. The system further includes, among other things, a second pressure-retaining component having an inside face, the inside face of the second pressure-retaining component including a third metal sealing surface that is adapted to sealingly engage at least the first metal sealing surface.

Abstract:
An embodiment of the present disclosure refers to retention of data in a storage array in a stand-by mode. A storage device comprises one or more storage array nodes, and a Rail to Rail voltage adjustor operatively coupled to the storage array nodes. The Rail to Rail voltage adjustor is configured to selectively alter the voltage provided at each said storage array node during stand-by mode. The storage device may further comprise a storage array operatively coupled to said Rail to Rail voltage adjustor and a Rail to Rail voltage monitor operatively coupled to said storage array nodes and configured to control said Rail to Rail voltage adjustor to provide sufficient voltage to retain data during stand-by mode.
Abstract:
A method characterized by association of object elements to operational modes is adapted for use during installation or runtime of a software package. In an example embodiment, the software package includes objects and object behaviors, wherein a particular object has at least two different object behaviors associated with the particular object, and wherein different object behaviors are each associated with a different operational mode. The example method includes accepting a signal from a user input device to specify an operational mode in a target system for the software package and determining an object behavior that is associated with the specified operational mode. In one implementation, the determined behavior is installed in the target system while at least one other object behavior that is not associated with the specified operational mode is not installed in the target system. In another implementation, the software package is run via the target system, where the software package implements the determined behavior and does not implement at lease one other object behavior that is not associated with the specified operational mode.
Abstract:
A technique for reducing the bitline leakage current while maintaining a level of performance characteristics of low threshold voltage transistors in deep submicron CMOS technology incorporates a reference voltage generator circuit in combination with bias transistor MBIAS. The output of a static logic gate is connected to the input terminal of the pull-down devices. The reduction in leakage current through pull-down devices whenever a read operation is not performed contributes to a significant reduction in overall leakage current in the circuit.
