|MEMORY POWER TOKENS - Techniques are described for controlling availability of memory. As memory write operations are processed, the contents of memory targeted by the write operations are read and compared to the data to be written. The availability of the memory for subsequent write operations is controlled based on the outcomes of the comparing. How many concurrent write operations are being executed may vary according to the comparing. In one implementation, a pool of tokens is maintained based on the comparing. The tokens represent units of power. When write operations require more power, for example when they will alter the values of more cells in PCM memory, they draw (and eventually return) more tokens. The token pool can act as a memory-availability mechanism in that tokens must be obtained for a write operation to be executed. When and how many tokens are reserved or recycled can vary according to implementation.

|PROGRESSIVE AUTHENTICATION - Progressive authentication is generally employed to establish the authenticity of a user, such as a user of a computing device, or a user that wants to access a proprietary data item, software application or on-line service. This can entail inputting authentication factors each of which corresponds to one or multiple attributes associated with the user, or historical patterns of one or more attributes associated with the user, or both, and a confidence level that estimates a reliability of the factor. Sensor readings captured by one or more sensors are also input. Each sensor senses a user attribute and are used to quantify each authentication factor confidence level. An overall confidence level is established based at least in part on a combination of the individual confidence levels. A user is then designated as being authentic whenever the established overall confidence level exceeds a prescribed authentication level. This process can be continuous with the overall confidence level being continually updated.

|VIRTUAL MACHINE POWER CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the virtual machine power metering system and method measure the power consumption of individual virtual machines. Power meter measurements for a physical host server are converted into individual virtual machine power meters that measure the power consumption of each individual virtual machine residing on the host server. The virtual machine power consumption is computed by generating a power model using the total power consumption of the host server and resource utilization for a virtual machine. Optimal power model coefficients are computed using the power model. The energy used by the virtual machine is computed using one of two embodiments. Embodiments of the system and method also can be used to obtain the power consumption for a specific activity (such as a service, request, or search query). In addition, the virtual machine power metering can be used for virtual machine power capping to allow power oversubscription in virtualized environments.
|WIND-POWERED DATA CENTER - This document describes various techniques for powering a computer data center using a wind-powered generator. The computer data center may include network connected servers that are electrically connected to, and powered by, the wind-powered generator.
|ERROR CORRECTING POINTERS FOR NON-VOLATILE STORAGE - Architecture that implements error correcting pointers (ECPs) with a memory row, which point to the address of failed memory cells, each of which is paired with a replacement cell to be substituted for the failed cell. If two error correcting pointers in the array point to the same cell, a precedence rule dictates the array entry with the higher index (the entry created later) takes precedence. To count the number of error correcting pointers in use, a null pointer address can be employed to indicate that a pointer is inactive, an activation bit can be added, and/or a counter, that represents the number of error correcting pointers that are active. Mechanisms are provided for wear-leveling within the error correction structure, or for pairing this scheme with single-error correcting bits for instances where transient failures may occur. The architecture also employs pointers to correct errors in volatile and non-volatile memories.
|REMAPPING OF INOPERABLE MEMORY BLOCKS - Inoperable phase change memory (PCM) blocks in a PCM device are remapped to one or more operable PCM blocks, e.g. by maintaining an inoperable block table that includes an entry for each inoperable PCM block and an address of a remapped PCM block. Alternatively, the PCM blocks may be remapped by storing the address of the remapped block in the block itself, and setting a remapping bit that indicate the block has been remapped. Where the remapping is performed by a processor, an inoperable block bit may be set in a translation look aside buffer that indicates whether a virtual memory page is associated with an inoperable or remapped PCM block. When a request to access a virtual memory page is received, the processor references the inoperable block bit associated with the virtual memory page to determine whether to check for remapped PCM blocks in the inoperable block table.
|Permissions Based on Behavioral Patterns - Users may choose to have their behavior analyzed in order to infer default sharing permission settings for documents and other information maintained in one or more computer systems. This may increase information security for the users and streamline implementation of privacy and/or sharing permissions. The default sharing permissions are implemented by a computer system as soft permissions that may be used to determine which documents are to be shared with which recipients. The soft permissions may address sharing situations for which a user has not expressly indicated his or her sharing rules. The soft permissions may change over time in response to changing user behavior and/or the soft permissions may be revised in light of user feedback.
|COMBINED BRANCH TARGET AND PREDICATE PREDICTION - Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable media associated with predicting predicates and branch targets during execution of programs using combined branch target and predicate predictions. The predictions may be made using one or more prediction control flow graphs which represent predicates in instruction blocks and branches between blocks in a program. The prediction control flow graphs may be structured as trees such that each node in the graphs is associated with a predicate instruction, and each leaf associated with a branch target which jumps to another block. During execution of a block, a prediction generator may take a control point history and generate a prediction. Following the path suggested by the prediction through the tree, both predicate values and branch targets may be predicted. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
|VIRTUAL MACHINE POWER CONSUMPTION MEASUREMENT AND MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the virtual machine power metering system and method measure the power consumption of individual virtual machines. Power meter measurements for a physical host server are converted into individual virtual machine power meters that measure the power consumption of each individual virtual machine residing on the host server. The virtual machine power consumption is computed by generating a power model using the total power consumption of the host server and resource utilization for a virtual machine.

|UNORDERED LOAD/STORE QUEUE - A method and processor for providing full load/store queue functionality to an unordered load/store queue for a processor with out-of-order execution. Load and store instructions are inserted in a load/store queue in execution order. Each entry in the load/store queue includes an identification corresponding to a program order. Conflict detection in such an unordered load/store queue may be performed by searching a first CAM for all addresses that are the same or overlap with the address of the load or store instruction to be executed. A further search may be performed in a second CAM to identify those entries that are associated with younger or older instructions with respect to the sequence number of the load or store instruction to be executed. The output results of the Address CAM and Age CAM are logically ANDed.
|DYNAMICALLY COMPOSING PROCESSOR CORES TO FORM LOGICAL PROCESSORS - A method, system and computer program product for dynamically composing processor cores to form logical processors. Processor cores are composable in that the processor cores are dynamically allocated to form a logical processor to handle a change in the operating status. Once a change in the operating status is detected, a mechanism may be triggered to recompose one or more processor cores into a logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. An analysis may be performed as to how one or more processor cores should be recomposed to handle the change in the operating status. After the analysis, the one or more processor cores are recomposed into the logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. By dynamically allocating the processor cores to handle the change in the operating status, performance and power efficiency is improved.

|VIRTUAL VISION CORRECTION FOR VIDEO DISPLAY - The virtual vision correction technique described herein pertains to a technique for determining a user's vision characteristics and/or adjusting a display to a user's vision characteristics. The virtual vision correction technique described herein provides vision correction for people with vision problems by making the video displayed adapt to the person's vision correction needs. In one embodiment of the technique, the user can state their vision prescription needs and the video displayed is processed to appear "20/20" to that person. Alternatively, the video display, for example, video display glasses, can "auto-tune" a representative image (such as an eye chart) to determine the appropriate video processing for that person.
|DYNAMIC COMMUNITY-BASED CACHE FOR MOBILE SEARCH - A "Community-Based Mobile Search Cache" provides various techniques for maximizing the number of query results served from a local "query cache", thereby significantly limiting the need to connect to the Internet or cloud using 3G or other wireless links to service search queries. The query cache is constructed remotely and downloaded to mobile devices. Contents of the query cache are determined by mining popular queries from mobile search logs, either globally or based on queries of one or more groups or subgroups of users. In various embodiments, searching and browsing behaviors of individual users are evaluated to customize the query cache for particular users or user groups. The content of web pages related to popular queries may also be included in the query cache. This allows cached web pages to be displayed without first displaying cached search results when a corresponding search result has a sufficiently high click-through probability.
|ENHANCING PERSONAL DATA SEARCH WITH INFORMATION FROM SOCIAL NETWORKS - The personal data search technique uses data input by users for a given user's personal data on a social networking site to enrich the given user's personal data. The technique annotates personal data stored on a personal computing device or in a computing cloud with data obtained from social networking sites (for example, tags, comments, likes/dislikes and so forth) provided by friends/other users in the given user's social network or networks. Such annotations can later are used by search engine to enhance the search functionality and/or to improve the ranking of search results. Since the data is entered by actual human users it is very accurate and since the data is already readily available on social networks the cost to obtain it is very inexpensive.
|PROVIDING A PERSONA-BASED APPLICATION EXPERIENCE - Technologies are described herein for providing; a persona-based application experience. A query for a location of a persona package is received from a virtualization client. When the query is received, a current persona of a user requesting execution of a virtualized application is determined. The location of the persona package corresponding to the current persona of the user is determined The location of the persona package is sent to the virtualization client in response to the query. The virtualization client is configured to execute the virtualized application adapted to the persona package.
|AUTOMATIC PURCHASE HISTORY TRACKING - The automatic purchase history tracking technique described herein can capture information about all of a user's purchases in a single location, such as, for example, a purchase database. In one embodiment when a user purchases an item from a vendor or store, a confirmation of the item purchase is received by the user. For example, this confirmation could be an email confirmation, a paper receipt or a voice confirmation. This confirmation is automatically parsed by the technique to extract purchase information about the item purchase. This parsed information can then be stored and displayed to the user and can also used for various other purposes, such as, for example, targeted marketing. The parsed stored data can also be enhanced by user annotations, and data pushed and pulled from other sources.

|Privacy Enhancing Personal Data Brokerage Service - The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology by which access to a protected entity's data is controlled by a data brokerage service. The service determines whether a requesting entity has appropriate access rights to requested information, and if so, the service returns a response corresponding to the protected data. In one aspect, the protected data may be location data of a protected entity that is maintained independent of a payment instrument. The location data is used to compute feasibility information as to whether the protected entity is authorized to perform a transaction using the payment instrument.
|Indicating Cached Content Status - Described is a technology by which a link to content is visibly augmented to convey information related to a cached status of the linked-to content. In one aspect, a cached versus not cached indication may be provided to convey such cache-related information to a user. Staleness of cached content also may be indicated. Also described is pre-fetching and/or updating cache content, which may be conveyed to the user by the conveyed cache-related status information.
|ENERGY-EFFICIENT MOBILE ADVERTISING - Various technologies described herein pertain to prefetching advertisements for mobile advertising. A prediction model for estimating a number of advertisements that a mobile client is likely to request during an upcoming prediction time period can be employed. An estimated total amount of time of likely interaction with application(s) executed by the mobile client can be predicted; based upon such prediction, a number of advertisement slots likely to be available and a probability of each of the advertisement slots being available can be computed. Moreover, an ad server can allocate advertisements in a pending advertisement queue and/or disparate advertisements collected from an ad exchange to the mobile client based upon the number of advertisement slots likely to be available, the probability of each of the advertisements slots being available, and aggregated probabilities of the pending advertisements in the pending advertisement queue being displayed prior to corresponding deadlines for expiration.
|Memory Sharing Over A Network - Memory is shared among physically distinct, networked computing devices. Each computing device comprises a Remote Memory Interface (RMI) accepting commands from locally executing processes and translating such commands into forms transmittable to a remote computing device. The RMI also accepts remote communications directed to it and translates those into commands directed to local memory. The amount of storage capacity shared is informed by a centralized controller, either a single controller, a hierarchical collection of controllers, or a peer-to-peer negotiation. Requests that are directed to remote high-speed non-volatile storage media are detected or flagged and the process generating the request is suspended such that it can be efficiently revived. The storage capacity provided by remote memory is mapped into the process space of processes executing locally.
|Network Routing Modifications For Distribution Of Data - The transmission of multiple copies of data to other computing devices is optimized by minimizing the number of copies of such data transmitted through an expensive portion of the network. A store-and-forward methodology is utilized to transmit only a single copy through the expensive portion and the data is subsequently forked into multiple copies directed to multiple destination computing devices. Computing devices that are not intended destinations can be conscripted as intermediate computing devices, if appropriate to minimize copies of the data transmitted through an expensive portion. Additionally, accommodation can be made for data that is intolerant of out-of-order delivery by utilizing adaptive protocols that avoid mechanisms that may result in out-of-order delivery for data intolerant of such and by utilizing packet sorting at data convergence points to reorder the data. Different protocol settings can be utilized to transmit data across different portions of the network.
|Network Transmission Adjustment Based On Application-Provided Transmission Metadata - Application-provided transmission metadata is utilized, in conjunction with current network information, to adjust network transmissions. An interface between applications seeking to transmit data and networking components enables the application to provide destination information, communication type information, information regarding the quantity of data to be transferred, timeliness information, data location information, cost information, and other like transmission metadata. Current network information can be obtained by the networking components themselves, or can be provided by, or enhanced by, a centralized controller. The networking components can then optimize both the routing and the protocol settings in the form of adjustments to error control settings, flow control settings, receiver control settings, segmentation settings, and other like protocol settings.
|Short Range Wireless Powered Ring for User Interaction and Sensing - In general, the short range wireless powered ring described herein pertains to a finger-worn ring. In one embodiment the ring has a small interaction area towards the palm of the hand that employs sensors to sense user input and can interpret this input and other data. For example, the ring can interpret user input as scroll and select input actions. The ring communicates user interactions and other data wirelessly using a low-power wireless solution. The ring contains a coil and other circuitry for energy harvesting from short range wireless enabled devices such as, for example, NFC enabled phones, while users interact with their devices. A built in rechargeable battery is used to store the scavenged energy. The ring may also contain physiological and inertial sensors. The ring can provide a readily available input device of small form factor that has an easily accessible energy source for ease of use.

Toolin' Up Tuesday: The Intuition Razor

Menu Planning This Week and Next
Since we are heading West in less than 2 weeks, I'm dancing the fine line between frugality and making sure there's enough – but not too much – food in the house.

Serena Scott Thomas
LATEST GIGS: Bruce Willis's kidnapped wife in Hostage and a shady businesswoman on the WB series Summerland
SISTER OF: The English Patient actress Kristin Scott Thomas
•Bonding with Bruce's daughter: The actress and her onscreen kid Rumer Willis, 16, spent their scenes "tied up and gagged and chucked around," says Scott Thomas, 43, whose own daughter Tallulah, 8, shares a name with Rumer's little sister. "It was horrible. So Rumer and I giggled furiously. It was the only way to get through it."
•Never say Di: The former model's résumé includes playing Bond girl Molly Warmflash (in '99's The World Is Not Enough) and Princess Diana as a "bulimic, suicidal nutter" in a 1993 TV movie. "The tabloids were always knocking at my door, even years later," she says. "When she died, people gave me their condolences. It was very strange."
•Sibling rivalry? The L.A. resident says there's little competition between her and Kristin, 44. "We're so different that we'd never vie for the same role," says Serena, who was recently divorced from her husband, litigator Scott Tepper, 59. Still, "we talk all the time. As we've gotten older, we've bonded more because we have more to share."
