An apparatus includes a boundary module that determines if a mobile device is within a secure area. The mobile device includes a computing device capable of connecting to a wireless network. The apparatus includes a download module that downloads a latest version of a file from a secure server to the mobile device in response to the boundary module determining that the mobile device has entered the secure area. The apparatus includes a copy module that copies the file from the mobile device to the secure server in response to the boundary module determining that the mobile device has left the secure area and a deletion module that deletes the file from the mobile device in response to determining that the mobile device has left the secure area and in response to having completed copying the file from the mobile device to the secure server.

For generating privacy, a detection module detects an optical lingual cue from user speech that comprises an audible signal. A generation module transmits an inverse audible signal generated from the optical lingual cue.

Privacy generation

A method, medium and implementing processing system are provided in which the presence of workers in a long highway construction zone is monitored and the electronically-controlled posted speed limit is adjusted in accordance with the detected presence of workers in the immediate area. In an example, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanners or readers are strategically placed in a construction or working area. Such RFID reading devices may be embedded, for example, in construction speed limit signs. The displayed speed limit is controlled by the detected proximity of construction workers wearing RFID-embedded clothing, for example, such as safety vests or helmets. The speed limit sign includes logic to display one of many possible speed limit displays based on the nearest, and/or the number of RFID signals detected in a given area. Vehicular traffic is thereby enabled to travel faster through construction zones where no workers are present and, when appropriate, traffic is slowed when workers are present within a given proximity of the RFID reading devices.

A Meeting Attendee Instant Messaging (MAIM) utility is provided and embeds Instant Messaging (IM) functionality in a calendaring software. When a meeting request is sent out from the calendaring application, the request receives invitee responses, which automatically populates a Meeting Invitee Status Display (MISD). The MISD graphically illustrates which invitees have accepted the request to the meeting (i.e., attendees), and also provides an indication of a current IM status of each attendee to the meeting. The meeting facilitator may optionally select specific attendees or all attendees and initiate a one-to-one or group IM chat session with the selected attendees to begin a chat. The group IM session chat is initiated from within the MISD without providing the meeting facilitator with anything other than the e-mail addresses or e-mail IDs of the attendees.

A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for generating a single object file from which a plurality of per-processor architecture executables may be produced. Source code includes instructions that are associated with a plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of instruction sets each associated with one of the plurality of processor architectures. The source code is compiled into an object file that includes common text and data associated with the plurality of processor architectures and a plurality of processor-specific data and text sets. The object file may then be linked by a processor of one of the plurality of processor architectures to produce an executable that is optimized for a plurality of processor architectures.

A method of generating graphic images on a display device of a computer system, by dividing the viewable area of the display device into a plurality of tiles, assigning each of the tiles to respective rendering processes, rendering a frame on the display device using the rendering processes, and adjusting the sizes of the tiles in response to the rendering step. The method then uses the adjusted tile sizes to render the next frame. The tile areas are preferably constrained from becoming too small. The adjusted tile sizes may optionally be smoothed, such as by averaging in weighted sizes from previous frames. The tile sizes are adjusted by measuring the rendering times required for each rendering process to complete a respective portion of the frame, and then resizing the tiles based on the measured rendering times.

A multiple purpose golf tool includes a planar body portion having top and bottom ends. A pair of elongated leg members extend from the bottom end of the body portion for loosening sod on the greens of a golf course for repairing divots. A pair of reversely bent spaced shoulder members extend rearwardly from the top end of the body portion communicating with a solid plate portion in spaced generally parallel relation to the body portion. A fork shaped plate is hingedly attached to the terminal end of the solid plate portion and is movable between a closed clamping position wherein an edge thereof bears against the body portion for use as a money clip, and an open position wherein the fork shaped plate extends away from the body portion for use as a golf shoe cleat tightener.
