Abstract:
The mapping system comprises an electromagnetic field generator (110), a layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material (150) over an object (140), and an infrared camera (180). The electromagnetic field generator is adapted to generate an electromagnetic field (130) and expose the electromagnetic field absorbing material and object to the electromagnetic field. The layer of electromagnetic field absorbing material is adapted to absorb the electromagnetic field and generate areas of thermal differences (145 a-g) within the electromagnetic field absorbing material. The infrared camera is adapted to detect the areas of thermal differences.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for modifying the effective reading range of an radio frequency identification tag. The tag, a chip-based tag, includes an antenna and a chip in communication with the antenna. The chip includes circuitry including field effect transistors that can modify the effective reading range of the tag by modifying characteristics of the tag including the modulation depth of the backscatter signal, the impedance characteristics of the tag front end electronics, the power consumption characteristics and the threshold power-on voltage of the tag. These characteristics are change either temporarily or permanently in response to commands communicated to the tag from a radio frequency identification reader.
Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided for pre-fetching content data (470) and storing the content data (470) in a mobile device (330). An identifier of a mobile device (330) and a location (434) of the mobile device (330) are received. Demographic information (432) about a user (430) of the mobile device (330) is obtained based on the identifier of the mobile device (330). The demographic information (432) of the user (430) is compared with demographic information (412, 422) of other users (410, 420) to identify one or more similar users (410, 420) having similar demographic information to the demographic information (432) of the user (430) of the mobile device (330). Content data (470) to transmit to the mobile device (430) is identified based on the location (434) of the mobile device (330) and the identification of the one or more similar users (410, 420). The content data (470) is transmitted to the mobile device (330) for storage in the mobile device (330).
Abstract:
Techniques, systems and an article of manufacture for caching in a virtualized computing environment. A method includes enforcing a host page cache on a host physical machine to store only base image data, and enforcing each of at least one guest page cache on a corresponding guest virtual machine to store only data generated by the guest virtual machine after the guest virtual machine is launched, wherein each guest virtual machine is implemented on the host physical machine.
