Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to graphical user interfaces and provide a novel and non-obvious system for managing data gathered on a computer. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes executing a first application in a foreground of the computer and a second application in a background of the computer. The method further includes displaying a user interface metaphor for the second application. The method further includes receiving a command to direct a selection of data from the first application to the second application, while maintaining the first application in the foreground of the computer. The method further includes directing the selection of data to the second application, while maintaining the first application in the foreground of the computer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for protecting digital content through visual proxy transparency control. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for digital content access control for multi-party rights management can be provided. The method can include creating a transparent overlay window over a target window, identifying permissions associated with digital rights management (DRM) protected content rendered in the target window, intercepting in the transparent overlay window a user interface event for a portion of the target window displaying the DRM protected content, and quashing the user interface event if permissions associated with the DRM protected content do not allow access to the DRM protected content, but otherwise passing the event to an event handler for the target window.
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a device and a counter system coupled thereto. The counter system provides an indication of a number of times the device is inserted into a slot. Through the use of the device disclosed above, a history and a number of insertions of a particular device within a system can be known and therefore it can be determined if the integrity of the device is threatened.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention include a device and system for providing reflective electrochromic switching devices having an optically reflective layer with at least one electrochromic material, a substrate, and an excitation means and controller for transmitting received light in association with transmissivity of the reflective layer at a predetermined time. The devices may be used in an array or system format to provide improved display resolutions in a manner where the devices are fixedly mounted in relation to an emitting light source.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention include systems for reflective digital light processing (DLP). Embodiments include a light source, a plurality of optically reflective switching devices each having an optically reflective layer in contact with a substrate; a circuit means and power source; controller logic; a projection means; and a display means; wherein each of said plurality of devices is a capable of receiving light from said light source and thereafter reflecting said received light in direct response to a reflective state condition of said each device.
Abstract:
A multilevel logic transistor including a ballistic channel, the ballistic channel formed in a substrate layer and configured to receive a flow of electrons generated by an emitter, a deflection barrier, the deflection barrier comprising at least two deflection surfaces and a deflection channel, and a deflection controller, the deflection controller configured to generate an electrical biasing field for directing the flowed of electrons, wherein the deflection barrier is positioned in the ballistic channel such that the deflection barrier is in the path of the received electrons. The multilevel logic transistor can further include an electron spin controller configured to generate a particular spin on each electron in the flow of electrons.

Abstract:
In accordance with the present disclosure, a drawer slide rack equipment mount that allows an equipment chassis to be operational when the chassis is slid in the rack and when the chassis is slid outward from the rack such that components in the chassis can be tested while the components are operating as part of the rack system. The drawer slide can include a first rigid member and a second rigid member to slidably engage the first rigid member. Also a set of contacts holders can hold contacts proximate to the first rigid member and in a parallel configuration with the first rigid member such that when conductors on an equipment chassis (and a second rigid member) move with the second rigid member along the first rigid member the set of contacts mounted in relation to the first rigid member can engage the conductors on the equipment chassis in more than one location.
