Methods and systems may provide for generating text based on speech input and recognizing one or more hand gestures. Additionally, an adaptation of the text may be conducted based on the hand gestures. In one example, the hand gestures are associated with operations such as punctuation insertion operations, cursor movement operations, text selection operations, capitalization operations, pause of speech recognition operations, resume of speech recognition operations, application-specific actions, and so forth, wherein the adaptation of the text includes the associated operation.

The embodiments of the invention relate to a novel apparatus and method for a battery charging system in a shared environment, as well as for monitoring battery usage and tracking battery location. In one embodiment, the battery charging chute comprises a housing configured to receive a battery via an insertion slot and configured to dispense a battery through a dispensing slot. Within the housing, charging terminals are disposed is a spaced or continuous manner, to come in contact with the charging terminals on batteries inserted into the housing. Optionally, solenoid-controlled gates may be employed at the insertion slot and dispensing slot, to inhibit the removal or insertion of batteries from the incorrect location, to ensure that the battery with the longest residence time in the chute is dispensed to a user. The housing may also include a radio-frequency identification tag reader to permit inventorying and tracking of batteries inserted into the housing.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for a race free data transfer algorithm using hardware based polling. One disclosed method transfers information between a target device and a buffer which is one of a set of buffers. The buffer is pointed to by a current buffer value stored in a controller. The current buffer value is adjusted to point to a next buffer if the current buffer value is different than a last buffer value. One of the set of buffers is serviced utilizing either the current buffer value or the last buffer value from the controller.

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a peripheral neuropathy monitor may be incorporated into a scale form factor or other device for monitoring a trend towards peripheral neuropathy by a monitored user or patient. The peripheral neuropathy monitor may include a heating element, a cooling element, and/or a vibrating element, and may be capable of performing the sensitivity of the user to hot, cold, and/or vibrations, and monitor such trends over time to facilitate detecting the onset of peripheral neuropathy. The peripheral neuropathy monitor may be capable of communicating with a remote device via a wired or wireless network for operating the monitor, and for storing and/or analyzing the test results.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus is presented. The apparatus includes a storage device, a hypervisor, a plurality of partitions mapped by the hypervisor, and a key created by the hypervisor to prevent one of the plurality of partitions from accessing a protected block range of the storage device. In one embodiment, a disk controller is coupled to the plurality of partitions to interface with the storage device, and the disk controller is programmed with the key in order to restrict access to the protected block range.
摘要:
An integrated circuit device, such as a processor initiates a transition to a first power management state. The device then receives a request to exit the first power management state and, in response exits the first power management state at the highest of a reference operating voltage, such as a minimum operating voltage, and a current voltage. For one aspect, an analog to digital converter may be used to determine the current voltage level. Further, for one aspect the first power management state may be a deeper sleep (C4) state, and the processor may quickly exit to a C2 state in response to a bus event such as a bus snoop.
