20160063449 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING A MEETING - A method is provided for scheduling a meeting. The method includes receiving a request from an organizer to schedule a meeting, executing a constraint satisfaction algorithm to determine at least one meeting data set comprising a value for at least one variable in a set of variables. The meeting data set defines at least one of a proposed time, room or participants for the meeting. Executing the constraint satisfaction algorithm involves performing a backtracking search within a solution domain to determine the meeting data set for the set of variables that satisfies a set of meeting constraints. If no meeting data set is determined, the set of variables and the solution domain can be revised. A next backtracking search can be performed to determine the meeting data set for the revised set of variables in the revised solution domain that satisfies one or more of the meeting constraints. | 03-03-2016 |

20090074390 | FLAME EFFECT APPARATUS - Apparatus for simulating a solid fuel flame includes a frame within which is mounted a screen. An enclosure is mounted below the screen having a frosted glass refractor panel forming a top wall of the enclosure. A cylindrical container is rotatably mounted within the enclosure. A motor rotates the container on a support. The container is partially filled with a red or brown coloured liquid. Lamps or LED's within the enclosure are operable to shine light through the coloured liquid in the container and through the refractor panel onto the screen. Movement of the coloured liquid, which may be enhanced by internal projections in the container, causes flickering of the light projected onto the screen to give a flame effect simulating a solid fuel fire. | 03-19-2009 |

20100150778 | Detection of Adulterated Samples - In some embodiments, the present invention pertains to a method for detecting an adulterant in a biological sample. A combination of a biological sample, an agent for detecting the adulterant and an ionic moiety capable of undergoing reduction by gaining electrons is provided in an assay medium. The combination is incubated under conditions sufficient for the ionic moiety to undergo reduction and for the agent for detecting the adulterant to interact with the adulterant. The reduction of the ionic moiety enhances the detection of the adulterant as a result of increasing the sensitivity of the agent for detecting the adulterant. The extent of interaction between the agent for detecting the adulterant and the adulterant is measured and is related to the presence or absence of the adulterant in the biological sample. | 06-17-2010 |

20140273949 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS DEVICE COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST MALICIOUS INFRASTRUCTURE - System, apparatus, and methods are provided for protecting against malicious infrastructure in a wireless communication network. A system determines a trust metric for an access point and decides to avoid communication with the access point based on the trust metric for the access point. The trust metric may, for example, be a numeric value such as a probability of trustworthiness or a categorization of trustworthiness. The system may determine the trust metric by receiving a list of access points and their corresponding trust metrics and matching a potential access point to its listed trust metric. The system may try to avoid using an untrustworthy access point's services unless it deems the services important enough to risk the communication. | 09-18-2014 |

20150127927 | EFFICIENT HARDWARE DISPATCHING OF CONCURRENT FUNCTIONS IN MULTICORE PROCESSORS, AND RELATED PROCESSOR SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA - Embodiments of the disclosure provide efficient hardware dispatching of concurrent functions in multicore processors, and related processor systems, methods, and computer-readable media. In one embodiment, a first instruction indicating an operation requesting a concurrent transfer of program control is detected in a first hardware thread of a multicore processor. A request for the concurrent transfer of program control is enqueued in a hardware first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue. A second instruction indicating an operation dispatching the request for the concurrent transfer of program control in the hardware FIFO queue is detected in a second hardware thread of the multicore processor. The request for the concurrent transfer of program control is dequeued from the hardware FIFO queue, and the concurrent transfer of program control is executed in the second hardware thread. In this manner, functions may be efficiently and concurrently dispatched in context of multiple hardware threads, while minimizing contention management overhead. | 05-07-2015 |

20130222407 | GLYPH RENDERING - Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering a glyph. Rendering data for the glyph can be received, such as size, shape, color, etc., along with first sub-pixel position for initially rendering the glyph on a display. A first rendering quality can be identified for the first sub-pixel position and second rendering quality can be identified for a second sub-pixel position, which may comprise an alternate rendering position. A sub-pixel position shift can be selected for the glyph based at least upon a comparison of the first and second rendering qualities. The sub-pixel position shift can comprise a difference between the first sub-pixel position and the second sub-pixel position, where the second rendering quality is selected/preferable over the first rendering quality. The glyph can be rendered by applying the selected sub-pixel position shift. | 08-29-2013 |
