Abstract:
A method for extending the service life of a portable device includes monitoring a battery of a portable device; identifying a problem bank; reconfiguring a connection schema for the battery to replace the problem battery bank with at least one spare bank; conditioning or exercising the problem bank; connecting the portable device to a power supply to recharge the problem bank; and reconnecting the recharged or repaired bank according to the connection schema without the at least one spare bank. A method for extending the service life of a portable device includes monitoring power consumption of at least one of the hardware or software of a portable device; and reconfiguring the connection schema of the battery banks to redistribute power consumption of at least one of the hardware or software.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the designation of the data and the resources in regard to the program operations of users by turning automatically the object designated by a new window type into an instance when an instance object is dropped in a new window. SOLUTION: The objects showing various functions of a data layout program are shown in a command object space 168. It's desirable to include a creator object 170, a deletor object 172 and a help object 174 in a command object. The object 170 includes an instance object which is dragged on a display screen and can be dropped in a display screen window. Then a member of the program class accordant with the window where the object 170 is dropped is automatically turned into an instance to the data layout program.
Abstract:
Under the present invention, it is determined whether sufficient resources exist for deploying a platform dependent application on its specific "native" platform in a grid environment. If not, a platform dependent portion of the application is identified, and the application is split into the platform dependent portion and a platform independent portion. Thereafter, the platform dependent portion is deployed on its corresponding native platform, while the platform independent portion is deployed on another platform in the grid environment based on available resources. Interconnections between the two portions can then be automatically generated. This can include, for example, creating remote method invocation facade interfaces, creating remote method invocation-enabled facade classes, and building a remote method invocation server for the first platform.

Abstract:
Search time is reduced with a search engine that includes a bi-directional inverted index facility which can be accessed with a keyword search in one of a number of languages and provide a listing of documents contained in all of those languages. The keywords in all supported languages are preferably stored in an inverted index lookup table cross referenced to documents in those language containing the keywords. Keywords with the same meaning in different languages are accessible together when that keyword in one of the languages is queried. The search engine containing the table can identify pertinent documents either in a selected language, a second language or in all supported languages, as determined by the user. Information about each document can include not only the identity of the document but also information used in ranking the documents such as the number of times that a keyword appears in that document, and the keywords proximity to other keywords. The use of the inverted index table therefore reduces search time by eliminating the need for translation of keywords, their identification in documents and accumulating of ranking information at search runtime and avoids inaccuracies which may result from full text translations of documents.

Abstract:
Wie oben angegeben fügt die vorliegende Erfindung Suchargumente/Begriffe (die als Störung bezeichnet werden) in eine Suchzeichenfolge transparent ein, sodass die eigentlichen Suchargumente nicht deutlich ersichtlich sind, wenn ein Benutzer eine Suche ausführt. Die engefügten Störungsbegriffe beziehen sich auf die zugrunde liegenden Suchbegriffe. Das würde ein Durchsuchungsprogramm und/oder einen Hacker, die nach sensitivem Material (wie etwa geistigem Eigentum) suchen, verwirren. Wenn die Suchergebnisse zurückgegeben werden, werden alle ”Treffer”, die sich aus der Störung ergeben, aus den Gesamtergebnissen transparent entfernt. Das Einfügen und das Entfernen gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung gewährleisten einen höheren Sicherheitsgrad bei der Suche, die trotzdem für den Endbenutzer vollständig transparent ist. Die eingefügten willkürlichen Suchargumente sind dem Kontext nach mit der Suchzeichenfolge verwandt.
