Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products, for personalizing applications. Context information and an identification of a first user interface (UI) element is transmitted to a repository. Personalization information for the first UI element is received from the repository, and used to display the first UI element in an application user interface. The personalization information includes first personalization data corresponding to a first personalization associated wi...

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a first interface circuit, a direct memory access (DMA) controller coupled to the first interface circuit, and a host coupled to the DMA controller. The first interface circuit is configured to communicate on an interface according to a protocol. The host comprises at least one address space mapped, at least in part, to a plurality of memory locations in a memory system of the host. The DMA controller is configured to perform DMA transfers between the fi...

In one embodiment, a method for paging from a pagor to a pager is disclosed. In one step, a page is sent wirelessly to the pager and received from the pagor. After determining that the pagee has not responded to the page for a predetermined time period, the page is converted to a message and a message-waiting indicator is activated.

A hydrocentrifugal machine is disclosed in which the rotor is a vortex-expeller rotor defining two generally spiral-shaped vortex-expeller passages and a hydraulic induction coil comprising a helical, inwardly-opening channel is affixed to the inner face of the outer, cylindrical wall of the centrifugation chamber.

A framework is provided that uniformly stores in a central repository data collected from various locations in an enterprise computing network. One or more measurements for data of interest in the central repository are pre-calculated. The pre-calculated measurement(s) are normalized to reflect the relative importance of the data of interest in comparison to other data in the central repository. Reports may be generated based on the pre-calculated measurements for the data of interest.

Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer program products, for abstracting rendering logic and automatically generating platform-specific renderers from the abstracted rendering logic for multiple platforms. A platform-independent description of rendering logic for a control is specified. The platform-independent description is used to generate a platform-specific renderer for the control. The platform-specific renderer is operable to be executed on a specific platform to produce code...

A quick connect fluid coupling assembly serving as the basic building block in a unified system for fluid transmission for use in the medical and health care fields provides a safety mechanical structure for prevention against pricking from a needle or other central fluid flow conduit, while also maintaining the mechanical features of the connector separate from the fluid channel. The sharp pointed central channel of the male connector component punctures a latex diaphragm of the complimentary f...

In a unified washing-drying machine, the use of conventional drying means is eliminated and, instead, an electromagnetic heating system is provided at an appropriate place in the unified washing-drying machine as a means to thermally evaporate the remaining moisture in the washed fabrics during the drying cycle. A high-pressure air system with the air nozzle assemblies imbedded on the agitator is installed in the unified washing-drying machine such that the high-pressure air flow from the air no...

The present invention consists of a new set of diacritics, which when applied in the English alphabet in conjunction with the existing or traditional system of diacritical markings, provides through the single combined set, the ability to couple correct pronunciation of words with the correct spelling thereof.

A combined pump and generator arrangement for use in a vehicle having an engine as the prime mover is disclosed and includes a pump housing with an axially extending actuating shaft and a rotatable member to be driven by the engine to rotate about that actuating shaft with the rotatable member including a fan and a pulley as well as a magnetic arrangement for providing a rotating magnetic field when the rotatable member is driven by the engine. An annular stator assembly is fastened to a face of...
