Virtual reality system for viewing current and previously stored or calculated motion data. System obtains data from motion capture elements, analyzes data and stores data in database for use in virtual reality applications and / or data mining, which may be charged for. Enables unique displays associated with the user, such as 3D overlays onto images of the user to visually depict the captured motion data. Ratings, compliance, ball flight path data can be calculated and displayed, for example on a map or timeline or both. Enables performance related equipment fitting and purchase. Includes active and passive identifier capabilities.

Navigation apparatuses, methods, and programs set a reference point at an intersection and set a region extending ahead of the vehicle in a direction in which the vehicle enters the intersection, the region including the reference point. Then, the apparatuses, methods, and programs obtain 3D map data of the region, generate a 3D movie which has a predetermined viewpoint on the basis of the obtained 3D map data, and display the generated 3D movie.

The present invention relates to the field of mobile terminals and discloses a method and an apparatus for taking a screenshot of a screen of an application. An instruction is received for closing a screen of a designated application. A designated area of the screen of the designated application is captured to obtain a screenshot of the designated area. The screenshot of the designated area is saved and the screen of the designated application is closed.

Techniques for managing a playlist in a multimedia system are disclosed. According to one aspect of the techniques, the playlist is structured to be able to include as many items as desired. To facilitate the manageability of such playlist, the playlist is built with a plurality of items. Each of the items is associated with metadata that includes information related to, for example, artist, album, genre, composer, and track number. The metadata for each item may be parsed, updated or logically operated upon to facilitate the management of the playlist. In another embodiment, each of the items is either a single item or a group item. A single item contains metadata of a corresponding source. A group item contains metadata of accessing other constituent items, which again may be single items or group items. As a result, the playlist can accommodate as many items as desired in a limited memory space without compromising the manageability of the playlist. Each of the items can be removed from, added to, or moved around in the playlist without concerning that an item may further include many items therein.

A method, system, and program for improving free item distribution among multiple free lists during garbage collection for more efficient object allocation are provided. A garbage collector predicts future allocation requirements and then distributes free items to multiple subpool free lists and a TLH free list during the sweep phase according to the future allocation requirements. The sizes of subpools and number of free items in subpools are predicted as the most likely to match future allocation requests. In particular, once a subpool free list is filled with the number of free items needed according to the future allocation requirements, any additional free items designated for the subpool free list can be divided into multiple TLH sized free items and placed on the TLH free list. Allocation threads are enabled to acquire free items from the TLH free list and to replenish a current TLH without acquiring heap lock.

Embodiments are described for a method for processing graph data by executing a Markov Clustering algorithm (MCL) to find clusters of vertices of the graph data, organizing the graph data by column by calculating a probability percentage for each column of a similarity matrix of the graph data to produce column data, generating a probability matrix of states of the column data, performing an expansion of the probability matrix by computing a power of the matrix using a Map-Reduce model executed in a processor-based computing device; and organizing the probability matrix into a set of sub-matrices to find the least amount of data needed for the Map-Reduce model given that two lines of data in the matrix are required to compute a single value for the power of the matrix. One of at least two strategies may be used to computing the power of the matrix (matrix square, M2) based on simplicity of execution or improved memory usage.

A method and an apparatus for selecting one or more applications running in a data processing system to reduce memory usage according to information received from the applications are described. Notifications specifying the information including application specific memory management capabilities may be received from the applications. A status of memory usage indicating lack of available memory may be determined to notify the selected applications. Accordingly, the notified applications may perform operations for application specific memory management to increase available memory.

In a semiconductor device having a redundant memory, the area of the device is reduced and a time required to transfer relief information is reduced. Moreover, a transfer control of relief information is facilitated. A first relief information storing unit stores relief information for relieving a redundant memory having a defective cell. A plurality of redundant memories share a second relief information storing unit. The second relief information storing unit is connected in series to the first relief information storing unit. The relief information is transferred from the first relief information storing unit to the second relief information storing unit.
