20100088376 | Obtaining content and adding same to document - Mechanisms to assist a user in obtaining content may be integrated with the tools that allow the user to author an e-mail message or any other type of document. For example, an e-mail composition system may offer various buttons that allow users to obtain certain types of content—e.g., movie times, restaurant menus, etc. When the user clicks the button, the requested type of content may be obtained, and the user may be offered the opportunity to insert the obtained content into the document that is being authored. The content that is obtained may follow a particular structure. For example, a system might be configured to respond to a request for movie-related content by returning a list of show-times and theaters for a particular movie. | 04-08-2010 |
20120151100 | DEVICE ACTION SERVICE - A user may operate many devices, each of which may provide a set of actions, such as installing firmware or software or viewing the contents of the device. However, in order to perform these actions, the user may have to interact with each device using a different user interface, resulting in an inconsistent user experience. Instead, a device action service may allow a user to identify his or her devices, may identify the actions available for each device (e.g., by interacting with a device source of each device, such as a manufacturer); and upon the request of the user, may present a list of the user's devices and the actions available for each device. The actions may comprise hyperlinks to various portions of the website of the device source (e.g., a driver page and a service registration page), or controls invoking the requested action upon the device. | 06-14-2012 |
20120151357 | PRESENTING DEVICE AVAILABILITY STATUSES - A user of a set of devices may wish to view the availability statuses of respective devices (e.g., an indication of connectivity, and optionally associated information such as battery power and processor availability). However, users are often familiar with availability statuses (and the indicators representing such statuses) of contacts in a chat environment, such as “available,” “busy,” and “unavailable.” Therefore, device availability statuses may be presented using the same semantics and aesthetics of contact availability statuses, e.g., using the statuses and indicators of a chat environment, including an “available” (available and ready to provide services), “busy” (reachable but unable to provide services), and “unavailable” (unreachable). This user interface design may result in a more easily understandable semantics and a more visually consistent user experience. | 06-14-2012 |
20130132463 | CLIENT APPLICATION FILE ACCESS - One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing a client application with access to a file based upon a local offline version of the file and/or web online version of the file. That is, a file may be shared/synchronized from a remote source, such as a web storage service. A web online version of the file may be maintained by the web storage service, while local offline versions of the file may be stored at client devices. A sync module comprising knowledge of the local and/or web versions of the file may provide a client application with access to the file based upon the local and/or web version of the file. The sync module may also delegate synchronization authorization to the client application given that the client application may comprise sophisticated file handling functionality. | 05-23-2013 |
20150248340 | DEVICE ACTION SERVICE - A user may operate many devices, each of which may provide a set of actions, such as installing firmware or software or viewing the contents of the device. However, in order to perform these actions, the user may have to interact with each device using a different user interface, resulting in an inconsistent user experience. Instead, a device action service may allow a user to identify his or her devices, may identify the actions available for each device (e.g., by interacting with a device source of each device, such as a manufacturer); and upon the request of the user, may present a list of the user's devices and the actions available for each device. The actions may comprise hyperlinks to various portions of the website of the device source (e.g., a driver page and a service registration page), or controls invoking the requested action upon the device. | 09-03-2015 |

20150281299 | CONTEXT-AWARE STREAMING OF DIGITAL CONTENT - Techniques are disclosed for streaming digital content from a server to a client device in a way that is tailored to the context in which the client device is used. The context in which a client device is used may refer to, for example, the operational characteristics of the device and/or the environmental conditions under which the device is used. A client device can be configured to collect contextual data characterizing its use context. The way in which streaming media is delivered to the client device can be adjusted based on such contextual data, and in particular, can be adjusted in a way that tailors the content delivery to the specific use context. This can improve user experience and conserve battery and network resources, for example, by avoiding the streaming of high definition content to a device that, due to its use context, is able to render standard definition content. | 10-01-2015 |

20090243672 | MULTI-POLE DELAY ELEMENT DELAY LOCKED LOOP (DLL) - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a delay line including a cascade of delay stages where each stage delays the phase a defined amount. Each delay stage includes an active voltage control delay element and one or more passive delay elements (e.g., resistive-capacitive (RC) networks). The aggregate amplitude gain roll-off of an active/passive multi pole delay stage delaying the phase a defined amount is less than the amplitude gain roll-off of a single pole delay stage delaying the phase the defined amount. Accordingly jitter amplification of the active/passive multi pole delay stage is less than that of a single pole delay stage. The power consumption of an active/passive multi pole delay stage is less than an all active multi pole delay stage. | 10-01-2009 |

20090322389 | JITTER ATTENUATING DELAY LOCKED LOOP (DLL) USING A REGENERATIVE DELAY LINE - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a delay locked loop (DLL) with a regenerative delay line that includes a cascade of delay stages. A first delay stage includes a two-input delay device which receives a 180 degree phase shifted signal as feedback. This feedback signal configures the delay line into a regenerative amplifier, the frequency response of which has peaking or resonance at the input frequency which results in jitter filtering. The amount of regeneration is determined by relative strength of an input signal and the feedback signal. Relative strength is determined by relative size of devices receiving the signals. The resonant frequency (with or without oscillations) of the delay line may automatically be tuned to the incoming clock frequency by the DLL control loop. Each of the other delay stages may include two-input delay devices with the inputs shorted for uniformity. | 12-31-2009 |
