International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Recursive Locking of a Thread-shared Resource
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 15 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,312,470) developed by Lisa D. Banks, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Jason A. Keenaghan, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., for a "recursive locking of a thread-shared resource."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A process thread locking operations includes defining a lock structure having data fields that include a process thread identifier and a shared object identifier that uniquely identifies a shared object subject to lock operations and using the lock structure to build a lock table. The lock table includes lock structures for each process thread in the process and is searchable in response to a request for a shared object from a calling thread. The method also includes determining a lock status of the shared object. The lock status indicates whether the shared object is currently locked by the calling process thread. In response to the lock status, the method includes obtaining a lock on the shared object when the request is for a lock, and releasing a lock on the shared object when the request is to unlock the shared object."
The patent application was filed on Dec. 22, 2009 (12/644,684). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,312,470&OS=8,312,470&RS=8,312,470

Nuance Communications Assigned Patent for on Demand TTS Vocabulary for a Telematics System
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 15 -- Nuance Communications, Burlington, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,311,804) developed by Raimo Bakis, Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., Ellen Marie Eide, New York, and Wael Mohamed Hamza, Yorktown Heights, N.Y., for an "on demand TTS vocabulary for a telematics system."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A driving directions system loads into memory a limited subset of prerecorded, spoken utterances of geographic names from a mass media storage.

The present location of the driver may be manually entered into the driving directions system by the driver, or automatically determined using a global positioning system ("GPS") receiver. As the vehicle moves from its present location, the driving directions system loads into memory new names from the mass media storage and overwrites, if necessary, those which are now geographically out of range. Based on the current location of the driving, the driving directions system can audibly output geographic names from the run-time memory."
