An accessory holder for releasably storing tool implements on a portable hand power tool. The holder includes a base strip of durable flexible material. An attachment member is carried by the base strip for releasably attaching the base strip to the tool. An elastic band is carried by the base strip to form a plurality of constricting sleeves for releasably engaging tool implements. A bit tube is disposed in at least one of the constricting sleeves for receiving tool implements. A restraining ma...

A neo-wafer made from integrated circuit die and methods for making a neo-wafer are disclosed. Recesses are formed on a substrate and a dielectric layer with conductive pads is created for the receiving of one or more die. Die are flip-chip bonded to the conductive pads and all voids under-filled. The neo-wafer is thinned to expose the dielectric and the conductive pads exposed, creating a neo-wafer.

A system and method for reducing the amount of time for a boot operation is provided that includes a test management module that divides the memory into multiple test blocks and then selects a limited number of test blocks to test during a boot operation, thereby decreasing the overall amount of memory test time.

The present invention discloses an information handling system that reduces POST time in a boot operation. The information handling system includes a processor, a memory and a BIOS unit. The BIOS also includes memory test pointer and a test block size indicator. During the POST routine, the BIOS tests at least one test block during at least one idle period.

An electronic film cartridge includes a can section that defines an outer contour and is used to hold electronic components, and an imager assembly. The outer contour is configured so as to not completely depress at least one sensor mounted to the film compartment of a photographic camera into which the film cartridge is to be inserted. The electronic film cartridge is also configured to fit within different cameras with different dimensions between the film can area and the aperture.

Computer method and apparatus identifies content owner of a Web site. A collecting step or element collects candidate names from the subject Web site. For each candidate name, a test module (or testing step) runs tests that provide quantitative/statistical evaluation of the candidate name being the content owner name of the subject Web site. The test results are combined mathematically, such as by a Bayesian network, into an indication of content owner name.

An electronic film (E-film) apparatus that reversibly converts a conventional film camera body into an E-film camera is described. The electronic film apparatus includes one or more state sensors that sense the operating state of the camera body. State sensors include an electromagnetic sensor, an acoustic sensor, and/or an optical sensor. The data gathered by the sensors is used to determine the operating state of the camera. Based on the operating state of the camera, the E-film apparatus oper...

A database is formed and maintained by computer-automated means extracting information from a global computer network. The database contains information about people and organizations. The present invention method provides continual updates to the information stored in the database by the people named in the database and by the automated means. Integrity of the automatically extracted information is maintained. A link from the invention database to a third party data system provides updates in t...

Computer method and apparatus for extracting information from a Web page is disclosed. The invention apparatus is formed of an extractor coupled to receive Web pages from a source. The extractor uses natural language processing to extract desired information from the Web page. A storage subsystem receives from the extractor the extracted desired information and stores the extracted desired information in a database. The invention method for extracting data from a Web page includes the computer i...
