Customizable Flash For Computing Devices, Chuck Woodhull

Defensive Publications Series

A computing device (e.g., a mobile phone, a camera, a tablet computer, etc.) may include a camera for capturing images (including a sequence of images that form videos). The camera may also include a flash or other light emitting element. As image processing has advanced and camera processors have become more powerful (in terms of processing cycles per given unit of time), the camera may capture images and perform image processing to generate processed images of relatively high quality even in low light conditions without necessarily requiring use of the flash. However, the flash may provide additional functionalities that may …

power to the system unless the system is plugged into an AC outlet.

Triggering Alarms At Dynamic And Flexible Times Based On External Factors, Sandro Feuz, Thomas Deselaers

Defensive Publications Series

Users often set alarms to be reminded of events or tasks that occur at specific times. In addition to specifying a time, alarms can be set in the form of a timer that goes off after a specified period. Currently, setting an alarm requires that the user know in advance the specific time or period when the alarm is to go off. This disclosure describes the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for setting alarms on a user’s device with the user’s permission. Such alarms can be set to go off at a time that can vary dynamically instead of …

Efficient Cellular Radio Access Management For Mobile Computing Devices, Meng Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Next generation cellular radios are being developed that facilitate higher (compared to legacy cellular radios) bandwidth, lower latency, etc. While mobile computing devices may include the next generation cellular radios, deployment of next generation cellular base stations that provide full next generation support is sparse. As such next generation cellular radios have only recently been introduced, the next generation cellular radios have not been subjected to extensive power optimization, resulting in significant power consumption (particularly when not connected to the sparsely deployed next generation cellular base stations). Techniques described in this disclosure enable efficient cellular radio access management for mobile …

Detection And Evaluation Of Print Quality Attributes, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

The method described in this document arose from a need to identify, monitor and resolve different

contributors to print quality (PQ) defects for small‐format dye sub photo printers as well as other types

of printers, depending on the implementation. A variety of targets were tested to flag and measure the

extent of issues like linefeed error and skew, both of which are typical of inkjet printing. Measuring

those targets typically require high resolution scanners with custom software to plot linefeed and

different types of visible skew. However, other issues aren’ as easily detected, much less measured;

these include misregistration, banding, …

Shining Chamfer/Surface Process By Combining Insert Molding With Thixo Molding, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

When we make a shining chamfer/surface in magnesium part, the cutting chamfer/surface is easily fogging and

corroded. We take some actions to avoid the fogging and corrosion. This patent is an overall effective solution. Prior

shining chamfer/surface is used in Al metal parts, not in magnesium material. Because Mg material is easily corroded

and cutting chamfer/surface is not shining than Al material. Prior solution is using chemical conversion and ED (Electro

Deposition) to protect cutting surface and avoid corrosion, keep the shining surface as same as Al material part.

Paul Otlet And The Ultimate Prospect Of Documentation, Olivier Le Deuff, Arthur Perret

Proceedings from the Document Academy

Paul Otlet (1868-1944) has left information science a vast written legacy. He imagined future developments of documentation around new devices. His anticipations have attracted some misunderstandings and criticism. Otlet’s more daring projections were considered utopian but they are best studied in the historical context of his time. We present the relationship between the concepts of documentation and hyperdocumentation, the ultimate prospect of documentation, and the proximity between Otlet’s work and current conceptions of transhumanism in view of his Mundaneum project.

Community Development In Rural America: Sociological Issues In National Policy, Kenneth P. Wilkinson

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Definitions of the concepts of rural, community, and development suggest problems for a policy of rural community development. An effective policy must address two barriers to development of community among residents of rural areas: 1) deficits in access to resources for meeting common needs and 2) severe inequalities in access to resources that are available. Rurality encourages community development when these barriers are low. The aim of policy should be to attack rural barriers while cultivating rural potentials for community development.

Satisfaction Among Ecological Management Workers, Theodore D. Fuller, Donald J. Shoemaker

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper explores levels and correlates of job satisfaction for a series of occupations concerned with ecological management in Virginia. To enhance job satisfaction, a careful balance must be maintained between organizational requirements and individual needs. Fortunately, organizational factors over which the manager can exert considerable control (specially, dimensions of bureaucratization) are more consistently related to job satisfaction than are individual factors (extent of job training, evaluation of job training, education, and job tenure).

Agricultural Service Firms: Organizational Characteristics And Linkages To Production Agriculture, Thomas A. Lyson

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Using data from the 1978 Census of Agriculture and the 1978 Census of Agricultural Services, this paper examines some of the organizational characteristics of firms in seven agricultural service industry subgroups. Using the 48 contiguous states as units of analysis, an ecological analysis attempts to identify structure characteristics of farm systems that give rise to, and foster development of, off-farm agricultural service firms. Results show that considerable variation exists in the organizational and labor force characteristics across the seven industry subgroups. Other findings indicate that the spread of agricultural services in a state is positively associated with the proportion of …

Agrarian And Political Attitudes Among Small-Scale Farmers: A North Carolina Case Study, Michael D. Schulman, Regina Luginbuhl

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper examines the agrarian and political attitudes of a sample of predominantly black, small-scale farmers from three North Carolina counties. Factor analysis identifies agrarian (agrarianism) and political-economic attitudes (socio-political powerlessness and stratification system illegitimacy). Regression analysis identifies the social bases of agrarianism and its relationship to socio-political powerlessness and stratification system illegitimacy. Agrarianism has a differential impact upon the legitimation of economic and political inequalities among this regionally specific segment of small farm strata.

Adoption Of Irrigation Technology: The Effects Of Personal, Structural, And Environmental Variables, Don E. Albrecht, Howard Ladewig

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

During the past decade, there has been a growing interest in expanding the list of factors affecting the adoption and diffusion of agricultural technology. It has been suggested that most previous research efforts have been insensitive to contextual variables and institutional constraints. The physical environment has been suggested as one contextual variable that has been largely ignored in past adoption-diffusion research. The present study tested for the relative effects of a site-specific indicator of the physical environment (saturated thickness), as well as personal attributes and farm structural characteristics for the adoption of irrigation innovations in the Texas High Plains. The …

Some Observations On Rural Sociology And Its Prospects, R. J. Hildreth

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Rural sociology developed largely in the land grant-USDA complex. The current status of rural sociology is briefly examined. The new agenda of rural sociologists probably will include such areas as sociology of agriculture, sociology of natural resources. and the sociology of development and economic change. The environment in which sociology will work on its new agenda, the land grant-USDA complex, is in disarray. The causes of the disarray are various academic chauvinisms. Chauvinism of philosophic orientation, disciplines, administrative structures, and academic excellence create the need for a new covenant for academe to serve society. Modest suggestions for rural sociology include …

Rural Sociology Research In The Land Grant Setting, Preston E. La Ferney

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

A brief historical view of rural sociology as a discipline reveals an intense introspection--a preoccupation--with the role, identity, image, effectiveness, and contribution of rural sociologists and their research in the land grant setting. As one outside the discipline, the author examines the history of rural sociology and the current and/or perceived role of rural sociologists in Agricultural Experiment Station research. Finally, some perceptions are offered as to possible ways in which the discipline might improve overall effectiveness within the land grant community.
