20150350068 | CLIENT APPLICATIONS COMMUNICATING VIA A USER TUNNEL - Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for managing communication of data to/from a device. For example, multiple client applications running on the device can communicate to a second device through a same primary socket connection. A mux module can receive data from two different client applications over respective client connections. The received data can include header information identifying the second device as the destination. When the first data from a first client application is received at the mux module, the primary socket connection can be created; and when the second data from a second client application is received, the existing primary socket connection can be identified and re-used. The primary socket connection can be managed by a controller of the mux module. | 12-03-2015 |

When the local communications link is unavailable or not suitable, the messages can be sent through a network and a push server. In some examples, messages can be sent through both the local communications link and through the network and the push server. Duplicates of a received message can be avoided by utilizing indicators. In some examples, one or more devices can include queue(s) to ensure ordered delivery of a plurality of messages when a local communications link and network connection become unavailable. | 12-03-2015 |
20160066352 | NETWORK CONNECTIVITY PROTOCOL FOR REAL-TIME APPLICATIONS - Apparatus and methods to evaluate connectivity between a primary device and a secondary device to support a connection for a real-time application to a remote device are disclosed. The primary device receives a connection request from the remote device and sends invitations to one or more secondary devices to connect with the remote device, the invitations sent through a first communication path. A secondary device that receives the invitation sends a connectivity evaluation packet to the primary device through a second communication path. When a connectivity response is received from the primary device through the second communication path and a user accepts the invitation, the secondary device sends an invitation response to the primary device and subsequently establishes a connection to the primary device through the second communication path. In some embodiments, the first communication path includes a cloud-based server that provides a guaranteed delivery message service. | 03-03-2016 |

20080292565 | TOOTH FLUORIDATING AND REMINERALIZING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS, BASED ON NANOAGGREGATE FORMATION - Compositions and methods for forming, in an aqueous environment, a nanoaggregate of calcium fluoride and amorphous calcium phosphate-containing compound, such as amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride or amorphous calcium carbonate phosphate fluoride are described. The nanoaggregate (or nanocomposite) can release calcium, phosphate, and fluoride, and ultimately convert to the tooth mineral, fluorapatite. One method for forming such a nanoaggregate involves applying a non-aqueous (e.g., varnish-based) composition (e.g., a suspension), containing solid particles of water soluble salts of calcium, phosphate, and fluoride, to the aqueous environment of the mouth. This results in rapid solubilization of the salts, precipitation of the nanoaggregate, and tooth remineralization. Tooth fluoridation and remineralization may also be carried out by applying to the tooth a non-aqueous carrier containing the nanoaggregate. Whitening agents can also be added to these compositions and methods. | 11-27-2008 |

20090193233 | Mechanism for Avoiding Check Stops in Speculative Accesses While Operating in Real Mode - A method and processor for avoiding check stops in speculative accesses. An execution unit, e.g., load/store unit, may be coupled to a queue configured to store instructions. A register, coupled to the execution unit, may be configured to store a value corresponding to an address in physical memory. When the processor is operating in real mode, the execution unit may retrieve the value stored in the register. Upon the execution unit receiving a speculative instruction, e.g., speculative load instruction, from the queue, a determination may be made as to whether the address of the speculative instruction is at or below the retrieved value. If the address of the speculative instruction is at or below this value, then the execution unit may safely speculatively execute this instruction while avoiding a check stop since all the addresses at or below this value are known to exist in physical memory. | 07-30-2009 |

The dispatching of the subsequent instruction after dispatching the sync instruction is performed prior to receiving a sync acknowledgement response from the nest. The instruction sequencer unit performs a completion of the subsequent instruction based on whether completion of the subsequent instruction is dependent upon receiving the sync acknowledgement from the nest and completion of the sync instruction. | 11-14-2013 |

In some embodiments, the payment card account receipts of panel respondents are matched to their survey question responses and processed to generate actual spending behavior data, which may then be analyzed to generate one or more predictions concerning future consumer spending behavior. In an implementation, a computer receives recent payment card account receipt data and self-reported survey data of a panel respondent member, tags that data with a unique cardholder identifier (ID), and determines that there is a match between the recent payment card account receipt data and data stored in a transactional cardholder database. The computer then selects a portion of the matched payment card account receipt data corresponding to a time period specified in the self-reported survey data, and generates a cardholder report including a comparison of the self-reported survey data to the selected receipt data that represents actual cardholder purchasing behavior. | 03-12-2015 |
