20130205001 | MODIFYING APPLICATION DATA SYNCHRONIZATION BASED ON APPLICATION USAGE FREQUENCY - A method and apparatus for modifying data synchronization of an application responsive to the frequency of application usage are disclosed. Data describing a frequency with which the application is used is captured by a portable computing device. For example, data describing timestamps when the application receives input or data describing a timestamp when the application was the primary application being executed are captured. It is determined whether the frequency of interaction with which the application is used equals or exceeds a threshold value. For example, the portable computing device determines whether the application has received an input or was the primary application within a predetermined time interval from the current time. Responsive to determining the frequency of interaction with the application does not equal or exceed the threshold value, data synchronization for the application is disabled. In one embodiment, the portable computing device stops data synchronization for the application. | 08-08-2013 |

20150042047 | HOLLOW, ELASTIC EXPANSION-JOINT SEAL - An elastic seal for a building joint which includes internal walls or dividers which change orientation when the seal is compressed for placement into the building joint. The change in orientation allow for the seal to apply a relatively uniform force against the joint walls extending from the bottom wall to the top wall of the seal. Additionally, the change in orientation reduces the deflection of the top wall of the seal upwardly when compressed in the building joint. The walls also become more vertically oriented when the seal in compressed. This vertical orientation provides increased load support for the top wall when the seal is compressed into a joint. | 02-12-2015 |

20090296895 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING DATA CAPTURE AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR CALL AND TRANSACTION RELATED MESSAGE MONITORING AND FRAUD DETECTION - Systems for monitoring, storage, and analysis of information in signaling messages, communicated from originating networks to a destination network through one or more intermediate networks are described. Correlation and comparison between signaling messages of interest sent from an origination network to signaling messages received by the destination network allows for the detection of inconsistent information, e.g., information fields in a communicated message that have been altered, either intentionally or unintentionally, by an intermediate carrier. The introduction of an additional communications path over which notification messages are forwarded from signaling monitoring equipment in the origination network to signaling monitoring equipment in the destination network allows for a significant reduction in the memory storage requirements at the destination network and in the amount of processing required to match, compare, and evaluate signaling messages. In addition, the reduction in stored messages and processing time allows the monitoring system to operate in near-real time allowing for fraud detection while a call is still in progress. | 12-03-2009 |
