Abstract:
In a computing device running multiple applications, a check is made as to whether a threshold value of multiple threshold values has been met. Each of the multiple threshold values is associated with a characteristic of one of the multiple applications or a characteristic of a resource of the computing device. If the threshold value has not been met, then the multiple applications are allowed to continue running on the computing device. However, if the threshold value has been met, then one or more of the multiple applications to shut down is selected based at least in part on the characteristic associated with the threshold value that has been met, and the selected application is shut down.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for synchronizing time, and relates to communication technologies. The method includes: receiving a time synchronization signal which includes a One Pulse Per Second (1PPS) and an absolute time data; and sending the time synchronization signals to the client through a wired medium to synchronize time. The apparatus includes a receiving module and a sending module. The system includes a time synchronization apparatus and a client. Time synchronization is implemented through an existing wired medium between base stations to accomplish μs-level time synchronization between indoor base stations without extra cabling.
Abstract:
A technique for accessing a shared resource of a computerized system involves running a first portion of a first thread within the computerized system, the first portion (i) requesting a lock on the shared resource and (ii) directing the computerized system to make operations of a second thread visible in a correct order. The technique further involves making operations of the second thread visible in the correct order in response to the first portion of the first thread running within the computerized system, and running a second portion of the first thread within the computerized system to determine whether the first thread has obtained the lock on the shared resource. Such a technique alleviates the need for using a MEMBAR instruction in the second thread.

Abstract:
This invention provides high unit density arrays of microparticles and methods of assembling such arrays. The microparticles in the arrays may be functionalized with chemical or biological entities specific to a given target analyte. The high unit density arrays of this invention are formed on chips which may be combined to form multichip arrays according to the methods described herein. The chips and/or multichip arrays of this invention are useful for chemical and biological assays.
Abstract:
The invention addresses the current need for selective and potent protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors by providing potent inhibitors of c-fms kinase. The invention is directed to the novel compounds of Formula I: or a salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, crystalline, polymorph, amorphous, solvate, hydrate, ester, prodrug or metabolite form thereof, wherein A, Y, Z, R101 and R200 are described in the specification.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for treating the symptoms of an acute or chronic disorder mediated by the classical pathway of the complement cascade, comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or a solvate, hydrate or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R7 are defined in the specification, Z is SO or SO2, and Ar is an aromatic or heteroaromatic group as defined herein.
Abstract:
The invention proposes a processing arrangement (to be used in a communication device, for example), wherein the processing arrangement comprises at least one data processing unit (1), and a communication unit (2) connected to the data processing unit (1). The data processing unit (1) is configured to perform data processing, and the communication unit (2) is configured to provide a connection to the external. Furthermore, a packet transport control is used for the connection to the external, in which a plurality of addresses may be assigned to the communication unit (2). The communication unit comprises an address translating means (23) for translating packet addresses of packets sent from the external to the data processing unit and/or packets sent from the data processing units to the external. The invention also proposes a corresponding communication method.
Abstract:
A BLU module has a plurality of BLUs assembled together. Each of the BLUs includes a light guide, a light source structure adjacent to the light guide, and a heat conduction member contacting the light source structure. The light guide has a light-emitting surface arranged on a top thereof and a bottom surface opposing the light-emitting surface, the light-emitting surface being larger than the bottom surface so that that light guide defines a first cavity formed therebetween. The light source structure is received in the first cavity. The light guide in two adjacent BLUs of the module defines a second cavity opposite the first cavity for receiving an adjacent heat conduction member of a prior adjacent light guide. The module is provided with a variable size with the BLUs assembled together to meet requirements.
