Method of dynamically establishing communication of incoming messages to one or more user devices presently available to an intended recipient

Abstract: A method of dynamically establishing real-time communication of incoming messages to one or more user devices presently available to an intended recipient. This is accomplished by intelligently coupling a central agent to a plurality of communication networks. The central agent, in response to a detected incoming message, identifies (i) a message recipient for whom the incoming message is destined, (ii) the known user devices associated with that recipient, and (iii) the networks servicing the identified user devices. The agent then polls all identified networks to determine which have user devices available right now and selects one or more of those to receive a message. The incoming message is then modified and transformed, in accordance with predetermined action rules, before transmitting the incoming message, in whole or in part, to the available user devices.

Passivation of electroluminescent organic devices

Abstract: A passivated organic device including a transparent layer of conductive material formed on a supporting substrate. An active organic media formed on the transparent layer and an electrode formed on the active organic media, the electrode including a thin layer of lithium formed on the active organic media and a layer of indium overlying and passivating the layer of lithium, and completing the electrode.

Using location for personalized POI recommendations in mobile environments

Abstract: Internet-based recommender systems have traditionally employed collaborative filtering techniques to deliver relevant "digital" results to users. In the mobile Internet however, recommendations typically involve "physical" entities (e.g., restaurants), requiring additional user effort for fulfillment. Thus, in addition to the inherent requirements of high scalability and low latency, we must also take into account a "convenience" metric in making recommendations. In this paper, we propose an enhanced collaborative filtering solution that uses location as a key criterion for generating recommendations. We frame the discussion in the context of our "restaurant recommender" system, and describe preliminary results that indicate the utility of such an approach. We conclude with a look at open issues in this space, and motivate a future discussion on the business impact and implications of mining the data in such systems.

A practical view of software measurement and implementation experiences within Motorola

Abstract: A practical view of software measurement that formed the basis for a companywide software metrics initiative within Motorola is described. A multidimensional view of measurement is provided by identifying different dimensions (e.g., metric usefulness/utility, metric types or categories, metric audiences, etc.) that were considered in this companywide metrics implementation process. The definitions of the common set of Motorola software metrics, as well as the charts used for presenting these metrics, are included. The metrics were derived using the goal/question metric approach to measurement. A distinction is made between the use of metrics for process improvement over time across projects and the use of metrics for in-process project control. Important experiences in implementing the software metrics initiative within Motorola are also included. >

Method and apparatus for communication system access

Abstract: A method and apparatus for accessing a communication system relies on the use of varying access probabilities for subscribers or messages of varying priority. A serving infrastructure entity (110) determines access probabilities in response to known system parameters like the current rate of access attempts for each priority class of user/message. Values representative of these access probabilities are then transmitted to the subscriber unit(s) (105), for example by use of a system broadcast channel or control channels. These values are then used by the subscriber units in determining when to access an uplink channel. A temporal and/or proportional priority distribution approach is preferably used in determining the access values. As a result of this contention-based prioritization, an expedited access is achieved by higher priority units/traffic, thus increasing their throughput.
