A system and method are provided for implementing conflict resolution in a sync manager. In case of a conflict, the sync operation creates and stores a conflict object, and resumes the sync operation without requiring user input. The sync operation can thus be completed without user input and the user may choose to resolve outstanding conflicts, either on-line or off-line, at a convenient time. Furthermore, the invention provides a platform for developing standardized, user-friendly sync operations. In addition, the invention presents a centralized location that allows a user to quickly and easily resolve conflicts originating from many devices.

A system and method are provided for presenting a centralized display that allows a user to quickly and easily manage sync operations for multiple devices. The invention may also provide a layered sync display, in which each layer presents a user with successively more information. The layered sync display may ensure that a user is not presented with extraneous information, which simplifies management of sync operations and allows user to perform other tasks during sync operations. In implementations of the present invention, sync operations may occur without user input, so that the user may continue working on other tasks while a sync operation is taking place. The user may elect to enter input, such as input used to resolve conflicts or other input requested by the sync operation, at a later time that is convenient for the user.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for presenting a centralized display that allows a user to quickly and easily manage user or application initiated sync operations for multiple devices. The invention may also provide a layered sync display, in which each layer presents a user with successively more information, including information about the event that occurred during the sync operations. The layered sync display ensures that a user is not presented with extraneous information, which simplifies management of the sync operations and allows user to perform other tasks during the sync operations. In implementations of the present invention, the sync operations may occur without user input, so that the user may continue working on other tasks while a sync operation takes place. The user may elect to enter input, to resolve conflicts, for instance, or other input requested by the sync operation, later when that is convenient for the user.

The present invention provides for assisting a user in efficiently interacting with a mobile device by providing a persistent graphical user interface, e.g., a sidebar tile. This persistent user interface allows direct exposure to the mobile device without requiring the user to launch or open an application for interacting with the mobile device. Further this persistent user interface may include state or status information for attributes or features of a mobile device, e.g., battery power, ringer volume, signal strength, etc., which may be represented as objects or bar parts. These objects that show status may be automatically updated for providing a useful visual representation showing the current state of the features. Further, the persistent user interface may include objects representing the functionality of the mobile device, e.g., configuration, ringer volume, making a call, etc., which provides for easy accessibility at a single entry point for interacting with the mobile device.
摘要:
A method includes: calculating a load prediction arising from an power consumption entity over a prospective time period; calculating a predicted off-grid power supply from an off-grid power supply; minimizing, for a respective time interval, a calculated amount of electrical-power to import from a power grid, in accordance with output from a cost function; and, for at least one interval, importing, from the power grid, the corresponding calculated amount of electrical-power corresponding to the at least one interval. The cost function uses: (i) a multi-component time of use tariff schedule associated with the power grid that includes a first power rate during a prospective time period and second power rate during a second time period, (ii) the load prediction over the prospective time period, (iii) the predicted off-grid electrical-power supply over the prospective time period, (iv) a state of a rechargeable battery.

A method includes: determining a total power load from an electrical power consumption entity configured to receive all or a portion of the total power load from each of (i) an alternative energy source (“AES”), (ii) a power grid, and (iii) a rechargeable energy storage device. The AES and the power grid are connected using a reverse power relay. The method also includes: for a first time period, determining a first power supply from the AES. The first power supply is affected by natural events that are uncontrolled by a user. The method also includes in accordance with a determination that, during the first time period, the power supply from the AES exceeds the power load: storing an excess portion of the power supply in the energy storage device, without releasing electrical power from the AES to the power grid. The excess portion is less than the energy storage device's maximum capacity.

For sealing a door, a jamb interface with a specified width connects to a jamb interior face of a jamb along a longitudinal axis of the jamb interior face. The jamb interface includes a plurality of fingers with a proximal edge of each of the fingers in the range of 4 to 6.5 centimeters (cm) from an intersection of the jamb interface and a flap. Each finger has a specified finger height in the range of 1 to 1.5 cm. Each finger is separated from adjacent fingers by a specified spacing height in the range of 1 to 1.5 cm.

Methods and apparatus for removing contaminants from wastewater with a high salinity content are provided. The methods include injecting a flocculant and other agents and mixing it with the wastewater. The mixture is held in a clarifying tank. The resulting clarified product is filtered through a micro filter. In the final stage, the micro filter output is passed through a series of reverse osmosis membrane. To present a stream with the appropriate salinity for the reverse osmosis filter, the micro filter output is mixed with previously cleaned water to reduce the concentration of total dissolved solids.

A system and method for authenticating communication from a message originator to a user is provided. An electronic message is identified as intended for a user. A service identifier associated with the user is retrieved from a database and inserted into a subject field or the body of the electronic message. The service identifier may be lexical, auditory, or visual. The electronic message can be an e-mail message, fax, short message, or multimedia message. The electronic message is then transmitted to a device associated with the user via a network serving the user. The presence of the service identifier in the subject field or message body authenticates that the electronic message originated from the professed message originator.
