20120221721Detecting Fraudulent Activity - Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detecting fraudulent activity. A computing device in a second network receives a plurality of interactions between data centers in a first network and one or more devices, remote from the data centers, of a user, the interactions forming an aggregate user session representing the user's activity over a period of time with the data centers via the devices. The computing device monitors data transaction requests of the interactions and is configured to respond to each request with a response that appears as if the request was executed. If the interactions are harmful, the computing device interdicts the interactions from execution by the data centers and allows the devices to submit additional interactions. If unable to determine whether the subsequent interactions are harmful, the computing device transmits the interactions to the data centers for execution and marks the interactions.08-30-2012

20130042670DETERMINATION OF PORE SIZE IN POROUS MATERIALS BY EVAPORATIVE MASS LOSS - A method for determination of pore-size distribution in a porous material called evapo porometry (EP) is capable of determining pore sizes from approximately the nanometer scale up to the micron scale. EP determines the pore size based on the evaporative mass loss at constant temperature from porous materials that have been pre-saturated with either a wetting or non-wetting volatile liquid. The saturated porous material is placed in an appropriate test cell on a conventional microbalance to measure liquid mass loss at a constant temperature as a function of time. The mass-loss rate is then related to the pore-size distribution. The microbalance permits measuring the mass as a function of time. The slope of the mass versus time curve is the evaporation rate. The evaporation rate is related to the vapor pressure at the interface between the liquid in the porous material and the ambient gas phase. The vapor pressure in turn is related to the pore diameter.02-21-2013

20090037666CACHE LOCKING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - A method and device for locking a cache line of a cache is disclosed. The method includes automatically changing a state of a cache line from a valid locked state to an invalid locked state in response to receiving an indication that a memory location external to the cache and corresponding to the cache line is associated with an access request by a processor or other data access module. Thus, the locked state of a cache line is maintained even after data in the locked cache line is invalidated. By maintaining the invalid locked state, the cache line is not available for reallocation by the cache. This allows locked cache lines that become invalidated to remain locked without additional software overhead to periodically determine whether the lock has been lost due to invalidation of the cache line.02-05-2009
20100287342PROCESSING OF COHERENT AND INCOHERENT ACCESSES AT A UNIFORM CACHE - Each cacheline of a unified cache storing information is marked as incoherent if the information was acquired incoherently or marked as coherent if the information was acquired coherently. A subsequent incoherent read access to a cacheline can result in a cache hit and a return of the cached information regardless of whether the cacheline is marked as coherent or incoherent. However, a subsequent coherent read access to a cacheline marked as incoherent will be returned as a cache miss regardless of whether the cacheline includes information sought by the coherent read access. In response to a cache miss for a coherent read access, a global snoop is initiated so as to query all other target components within the same coherency domain. In contrast, a cache miss resulting from an incoherent read access is processed using a non-global snoop to a limited set of one or a few target components in the coherency domain.11-11-2010
20120233498HIERARCHICAL ERROR CORRECTION FOR LARGE MEMORIES - A mechanism is provided for detecting and correcting a first number of bit errors in a segment of data stored in a memory region being read, while concurrently detecting the presence of higher numbers of bit errors in that segment of data. In the event of detection of a higher number of bit errors in any single segment of data of the memory region, error correction of that higher number of bit errors is performed on the memory region, while concurrently detecting the presence of an even higher level of bit errors. By performing error correction of higher levels of bit errors in such a hierarchical order, memory latency associated with such error correction can be avoided in the majority of data accesses, thereby improving performance of the data access.09-13-2012

Corrective feedback is generated during subsequent vehicular maneuvers upon deviations from the optimized speed/acceleration profile.06-06-2013
20130204457INTERACTING WITH VEHICLE CONTROLS THROUGH GESTURE RECOGNITION - A gesture-based recognition system obtains a vehicle occupant's desired command inputs through recognition and interpretation of his gestures. An image of the vehicle's interior section is captured and the occupant's image is separated from the background, in the captured image. The separated image is analyzed and a gesture recognition processor interprets the occupant's gesture from the image. A command actuator renders the interpreted desired command to the occupant along with a confirmation message, before actuating the command. When the occupant confirms, the command actuator actuates the interpreted command. Further, an inference engine processor assesses the occupant's state of attentiveness and conveys signals to a drive assist system if the occupant in inattentive. The drive-assist system provides warning signals to the inattentive occupant if any potential threats are identified. Further, a driver recognition module readjusts a set of vehicle's personalization functions to pre-stored settings, on recognizing the driver.08-08-2013
20140015637VIRTUAL VEHICLE ENTRY KEYPAD AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - Keypad indicia are integral with a window of a vehicle. The keypad indicia are formed using a ultra-violet (UV) fluorescent dye that is nearly invisible to a human eye until exposed to UV light. A UV light emitting device of the vehicle is configured for outputting UV light. The light emitting device is mounted for enabling the keypad indicia to be exposed to the outputted UV light thereby causing the keypad indicia to become readily visible by the human eye. An imaging device of the vehicle captures user interaction with the keypad indicia while the keypad indicia is exposed to the outputted UV light. The keypad interaction processor determines if a sequence of body part movements with respect to the keypad indicia that is captured by the imaging device during exposure of the keypad indicia to the outputted light corresponds to an access code of the vehicle.01-16-2014
