Title: System and method for improving the efficiency, comfort, and/or reliability in operating systems, such as for example windows
Inventor: MAYER YARON
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2006-11-21
Abstract: ABSTRACT    Although MS Windows (in its various versions) is at present the most popular OS (Operating System) in personal computers, after years of consecutive improvements there are still various issues which need to be improved, which include for example issues of efficiency, comfort, and/or reliability. The present invention tries to solve the above problems in new ways that include considerable improvements over the prior art. Preferably the system allows for example a "Reset" function, which means that preferably an Image of the state of the OS (including all loaded software) is saved immediately after a successful boot on the disk or other non-volatile memory and is preferably automatically updated when new drivers and/or software that change the state after a boot are added, so that if the system gets stuck it can be instantly restarted as if it has been rebooted. Other features include for example solving the problem that the focus can be grabbed while the user is typing something, allowing the user to easily define or increase or decrease the priority of various processes or open windows, a powerful undo feature that can include preferably even any changes to the hard disk, improved undo features in word processing, improved file comparison features, being able for example to track changes retroactively, improved backup features, and many additional improvements. The application covers also improvements that are related for example to Word processing (since for example in Microsoft Windows, Word behaves like an integral part of the system) and things that are related to the user's Internet surfing experience (This is important since for example in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer is practically an integral part of the OS). The invention deals also with some preferable improvements in the performance of the hard disk and also with some other smart computerized devices.

Abstract: On the transmitting terminal 11b side, on the occurrence a transmission event J11, the transmitting terminal 11b is brought into a receiving wait state R12 for a certain duration TW. While, on the receiving terminal 11a side, a transmission state T11 for a certain duration TT and a subsequent receiving state R11 for a certain duration TR are made intermittently repeated at intervals of a sleeping duration TS. The receiving terminal 11a, on transmitting an intermittent transmission signal S11, is immediately brought into the receiving state R11 to receive a transmission signal S12 transmitted from the transmitting terminal 11b.     This reduces power consumption at transmission and reception with a duration occupied by a channel in a space in a transmitting operation being reduced and, along with this, enables a communication device to be brought into a communication state without synchronization.

Abstract: Processes for conversion of lignin to liquid products such as bio-fiiels and fuel additives are disclosed and described (Figure 1). A process for conversion of a lignin material to bio- fuels can include subjecting the lignin material to a base catalyzed depolymerization reaction (Stage I) to produce a partially depolymerized lignin. The partially depolymerized lignin can then be subjected to a stabilization/partial hydrodeoxygenation reaction (Stage II) to form a partially hydrodeoxygenated product. Following partial hydrodeoxygenation, the partially hydrodeoxygenated product can be reacted in a refining step (Stage TS) to form a bio-fuel. Each of these reaction steps can be performed in single or multiple steps, depending on the design of the process. The production of an intermediate partially hydrodeoxygenation product and subsequent reaction thereof can significantly reduce or eliminate reactor plugging and catalyst coking. A variety of useful bio- fuels such as fuels, fuel additives, and the like can be readily produced from renewable lignin materials in an improved conversion process.
