A method and system for responding to changes in the system. The system includes two or more routers which are electrically connected together in a network tree structure. Each router includes an electronic connection port and a routing table. A direct current balance exists at the electronic connection port of each route. A change in the direct current balance at the electronic connection port of at least one router of the two or more routers is detected. An occurrence of changes in the system that relate to each router of the at least one router is ascertained from the detecting. Responsive to the ascertaining, a new routing table is generated for each router of the at least one router. Each new table includes the changes in the system that relate to each route of the at least one router.

Responding to change in a data communication network system

A system for routing packets in an ad hoc wireless network. In response to entering the ad hoc wireless network, location data is broadcast to other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. Location data is received from the other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. The received location data is recorded in a routing table. In response to determining that one or more packets need to be transmitted, a best route is calculated to transmit the one or more packets within the ad hoc wireless network using data in the routing table. Then, the one or more packets are transmitted to a node within the ad hoc wireless network based on the calculated best route.

A computer-implemented method and apparatus for managing an out of order dispatched instruction queue in a microprocessor. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus include assigning a group identification number and a target identification number to an instruction in an instruction stream. The group identification number and the target identification number are labeled inside an instruction fetcher unit. The group identification number and the target identification number are pre-decoded. The instruction is sent to an instruction queue. The instruction is re-ordered in the instruction stream after executing the instruction utilizing information from the pre-decoding of the group identification number and the target identification number.

A method and apparatus is provided for locating and retrieving specified data content in a database. The data comprises compressed digital audio or video data files associated with the recorded speech. Retrieval of the specified content requires decompression of only a portion of the compressed data. A method for locating specified content of the above type is provided. A compressed audio file comprising recorded speech is converted into a corresponding text file. A searchable index is constructed from the text file. One or more specified search arguments are used to search respective elements of the searchable index in order to detect one or more text segments. The identifiers of respective detected segments are then used to locate the specified content in the audio file. Only portions of the audio file that contain specified content require decompression, in order to retrieve the content.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for a first pull down menu associated with a user interface. In response to receiving a request from the user to toggle the user interface between a user interface containing an original pull down menu and a user interface containing a modified pull down menu, the user interface is presented with the first pull down menu wherein the first pull down menu is the modified pull down menu. A user request associated with a feature presented in the first pull down menu is monitored. Values associated with requests received from a user are stored in a set of usage information. The first pull down menu is modified using the set of usage information to form a second pull down menu. The user interface containing the second pull down menu is presented to the user.

Method and apparatus for generating adaptable pull down menus

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system, etc. for automatic power saving mode insertion when an unknown or an offensive receiver detected in a wireless access system. A method comprises generating a look-up-table from AGWN payloads in a plurality of AGWN packets. The look-up-table is then transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. Next, the method generates a coded packet from an AGWN packet in a data packet using the look-up-table, wherein a code from the look-up-table is substituted in place of the AGWN packet. Specifically, the substituting of the code from the look-up-table comprises substituting coded symbols representing AGWN payloads in the AGWN packets. Further, the generating of the look-up-table comprises generating the code to represent size and strength information regarding an AGWN, wherein the coded packet is generated with a size that is less than the data packet.

A system for utilizing the processing power of a mobile device. It is determined whether an energy source within the mobile device is recharging. In response to determining that the energy source within the mobile device is recharging, it is determined whether the mobile device is sending or receiving transmissions. In response to determining that the mobile device is not sending or receiving transmissions, a task is requested from a server via a network. In response to receiving the task from the server, the task is routed to a processor of the mobile device to process the task and return a task result. Then, the task result is sent to the server via the network.

The present invention discloses a method of message transmission performed in a server; a method of message transmission performed in a client; a symbol-based method for transmitting a message between a server and at least one client as well as a server; a client and a symbol-based message transmission system, wherein the symbol-based method of message transmission has: at least one client requesting the server to perform message transmission; the server transmitting symbols of the client's message to the client; and presenting the received message symbols on the client. The symbol-based method of message transmission saves a great deal of bandwidth of the communication channel by having the server only transmit symbols that represent the message after receiving a message transmission request from the client. This is done in order to efficiently transmit a message with a large body and/or attachment(s), thereby avoiding the risk of blocking the communication channel.
