Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out accepting from a user identifier encryption entity at least one encrypted identifier corresponding to a user having at least one instance of data for encryption; encrypting the at least one instance of data to produce level-one-encrypted data; associating the at least one encrypted identifier with the level-one-encrypted data, wherein a level-one decryption key for the level-one-encrypted data is inaccessible to the user identifier encryption entity; and transmitting the level-one-encrypted data and associated encrypted identifier.

Computational systems and methods for encrypting data for anonymous storage

A data center system is described which includes multiple data centers powered by multiple power sources, including any combination of renewable power sources and on-grid utility power sources. The data center system also includes a management system for managing execution of computational tasks by moving data components associated with the computational tasks within the data center system, in lieu of, or in addition to, moving power itself. The movement of data components can involve performing pre-computation or delayed computation on data components within any data center, as well as moving data components between data centers. The management system also includes a price determination module for determining prices for performing the computational tasks based on different pricing models. The data center system also includes a 'stripped down' architecture to complement its use in the above-summarized data-centric environment.

Data center system that accommodates episodic computation

A wireless communication system that concurrently communicates information in multiple regulatory domains to facilitate audio/video media streaming and other high bandwidth operations. One domain may be licensed and the other may be unlicensed. Transmission in the licensed domain may occur in white space in the domain, and the amount of information transmitted in that domain may be limited by regulations. The amount of information conveyed in the licensed domain may also depend on channel conditions in either or both of the domains. As a result, the relative amount of information transmitted in each domain may vary dynamically. The system includes a transmitter that dynamically determines weighting coefficients applied to each of a plurality of channels to set power levels in both domains to achieve a desired metric for the overall communication. A corresponding receiver assembles the substreams into a stream that can then be displayed or otherwise processed.

Cognitive use of multiple regulatory domains

Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out receiving level-one encrypted data including at least one associated encrypted identifier; encrypting with a level-two encryption key at least a part of the level-one encrypted data to produce level-two encrypted data; receiving a hash of the at least one associated encrypted identifier; associating the hash with the level-two encrypted data; and transmitting the level-two encrypted data and associated hash of the at least one associated encrypted identifier.

Computational systems and methods for double-encrypting data for subsequent anonymous storage

An electronic device may include a touch screen electronic display configured to offset and/or shift the contact locations of touch implements and/or displayed content based on one or more calculated parallax values. The parallax values may be associated with the viewing angle of an operator relative to the display of the electronic device. In various embodiments, the parallax value(s) may be calculated using three-dimensional location sensors, an angle of inclination of a touch implement, and/or one or more displayed calibration objects. Parallax values may be utilized to remap contact locations by a touch implement, shift and/or offset displayed content, and/or perform other transformations as described herein. A stereoscopically displayed content may be offset such that a default display plane is coplanar with a touch surface rather than a display surface. Contacts by a finger may be remapped using portions of the contact region and/or a centroid of the contact region.

Systems and methods for parallax compensation

The subject disclosure is generally directed towards a technology by which non-contiguous channels of unequal bandwidth may be aggregated for use by communication devices. A data stream is partitioned (e.g., via puncturing) into partitioned data streams for communication over aggregated non-contiguous channels, one partitioned data stream per channel, in which partitioning is based upon each channel's bandwidth. Secondary puncturing may be used on any partitioned data stream that is to be transmitted over a channel associated with a regulatory constraint, e.g., a regulatory mask. Database querying, which may include providing device filter characteristics, may be used to obtain the set of channels available for use, along with any regulatory mask associated with a channel.

Error control coding for noncontiguous channel aggregation

A technique for a wireless device to obtain white space information from a component configured for cellular communication, such as a cellular phone. The wireless device and cellular phone may communicate using a short-range connection, such as a peer-to-peer connection, ensuring that the white space information, which is location based, generated by the cellular phone is also accurate for the location of the wireless device. With such white space information, the wireless device can comply with regulatory requirements for white space use by accessing a regulatory database identifying, by location, available white space channels. When the cellular phone is configured for accessing a wide area network, the cellular telephone may provide the white space information as a set of channels available for white space communication. Channels of the set may be prioritized based on one or more parameters, including frequency, permitted transmit power or detected noise.

Location determination for white space utilization

Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out receiving level-two encrypted data and at least one associated hash; storing the level-two encrypted data and at least one associated hash; and transmitting the level-two encrypted data and at least one associated hash in response to a request for at least one of the level-two encrypted data or the at least one associated hash.
