US Patent:

6374287, Apr 16, 2002

Filed:

May 26, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/085132

Inventors:

Richard M. Goldstein - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709201, 709203

Abstract:

Techniques for executing client processes on window servers are disclosed. The techniques allow a client process requiring one or more window extensions to run on a local window server without requiring the local server to support the one or more window extensions. The one or more window extensions can be supported by a remote window server. Accordingly, client processes are able to execute on computer systems that do not locally support the window server or window server extensions, which are required by the client processes.

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345866, 434178

Abstract:

By using dynamic text and an interface utilizing a familiar metaphor, reading speed and comprehension can be increased. In particular, the interface, which is based on a familiar metaphor, such as driving, allows a user to concentrate on the real task at hand, reading, as opposed to manipulation of the interface. Thus, using a combination of a familiar metaphor and rapid serial presentation, dynamic text can be efficiently negotiated.

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1200

US Classification:

711170, 711209

Abstract:

The invention noninvasively provides information relating to memory space allocation. Memory space allocation information is maintained in a location that is known or identifiable outside of the process for which the memory space has, been allocated. A memory space allocator maintains the information in a descriptor block. The descriptor block is updated with every allocation or deallocation of memory space. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the descriptor block exists on a page of memory having a size equal to the native page size of the machine on which it is, operating. The memory allocator allocates memory space in units referred to as buckets that exist within a memory block. The descriptor block contains an identifier that identifies the memory space allocation information stored in that descriptor block as being controlled by a particular memory space allocator. The descriptor block also contains information that indicates how many pages are used and how many pages are free.

International Classification:

H04R 110

US Classification:

381 74, 381 11, 381 1, 381 26

Abstract:

A stereo headphone employing a standard stereo headphone plug is adapted for automatically hearing a monaural signal at both earpieces, when accessing a typical monaural source. In the first embodiment of the invention, an impedance element couples the signal from a first acoustical driver that receives the monaural signal from the stereo plug tip, to a second acoustical driver that is connected to the stereo plug ring and normally receives no signal when plugged into a conventional monaural audio source output jack. The magnitude of the coupling impedance is selected with respect to the impedance of the acoustical driver so that the reduction in loudness at the second earpiece due to the signal voltage drop across the coupling impedance is not perceptible to the listener. This will occur when the reduction in loudness at the second earpiece is less than the threshold of perceivable loudness reduction at one ear when there is no reduction in loudness at the other ear. The effect of the coupling impedance, when listening to a stereo audio source is insignificant, firstly, because the two stereo channel signals appear at their respective drivers with virtually no attenuation due to the coupling impedance.

US Classification:

422123, 422124, 422125, 116200, 429178

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for signaling an event using fragrance are disclosed. A fragrance emitting device is activated to a low battery voltage indicator in an electronic device, serving as a warning to replace the battery, either in place of or complimentary to conventional indicators such as warning lights or audible signals. The fragrance emitting system can be integrated into the electronic device itself or can be part of the battery.

US Classification:

713202, 713183

Abstract:

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for password protecting user access to a computer system. One or more images are displayed to a user. The user is then required to perform a sequence of actions involving the images. The performed sequence of actions is compared with a predefined sequence of actions. If the performed sequence of actions matches the predefined sequence of actions, user access is permitted.
