Method and apparatus for managing an energy consuming load

Abstract: A method for managing an energy consuming load in a group of energy consuming loads and a method for managing the group of energy consuming loads. The method includes generating sets of load state data from the loads, making enablement state decisions for one or more loads using the sets of load state data, and implementing the enablement state decisions. Each of the enablement state decisions reflects an enablement state of a load, wherein the enablement state is either a load enabled state where the load is capable of operating even when the load is not actually operating or a load disabled state where the load is not capable of operating. A computer readable medium may include computer readable instructions for directing a processor to perform the methods and make the enablement state decision. Further, an apparatus comprised of a processor may be programmed to perform the methods.

Interface with Gaze Detection and Voice Input

Abstract: Methods, computer programs, and systems for interfacing a user with a computer program, utilizing gaze detection and voice recognition, are provided. One method includes an operation for determining if a gaze of a user is directed towards a target associated with the computer program. The computer program is set to operate in a first state when the gaze is determined to be on the target, and set to operate in a second state when the gaze is determined to be away from the target. When operating in the first state, the computer program processes voice commands from the user, and, when operating in the second state, the computer program omits processing of voice commands.

Deterministic secure communication protocol without using entanglement

Abstract: We show a deterministic secure direct communication protocol using single qubit in mixed state. The security of this protocol is based on the security proof of BB84 protocol. It can be realized with current technologies.

System and method of identifying the source of an attack on a computer network

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of tracing the spread of computer malware in a communication network One aspect of the present invention is a method that traces the spread of computer malware in a communication network When suspicious data characteristic of malware is identified in a computing device connected to the communication network, the method causes data that describes the state of the computing device to be stored in a database After a specific attack against the communication network is confirmed, computing devices that are infected with the malware are identified Then, the spread of the malware between computing devices in the communication network is traced back to a source

Method of correcting a machine check error

Abstract: Processor implementation-specific instructions save a processor state in a system memory and attempt to correct the error. Control is then transferred to processor-independent instructions. Control is returned to the processor implementation-specific instructions which then return to an interrupted context of the processor by restoring the processor state.
