UWB - How is it Implemented and What is it capable of re: T61

I am interested in finding out if UWB on a T61p can provide the same connectivity as DVI/HDMI to HDTV and HD content to computer monitors.
I have seen various specs regarding UWB but want to find out the true capabilities of UWB (as it exists currently on T61's),
how is it currently implemented, and in particular can it be used as an alternative to a
DVI/HDMI port or cable connection. Also not only can it be done, but will it offer the
same level of quality as HDMI (VGA does not).
Articles on the Internet indicate the UWB spec does have this capability, the question
is, does it exist right now, and how do you connect devices, particularly HD monitors
using UWB to a Thinkpad notebook. For starters can someone simply state an example of an existing device they are connecting to their Thinkpad using UWB. I have been unable to get a definitive answer on this form Lenovo Sales, although have found someone there who is making every effort to find out. Is UWB as it is implemented right now simply a wireless USB transmitter and receiver. If so does USB, i.e. at 480Mbs allow for transmission of HD content at full native resolution? Will we have to wait for new products with UWB built in to take full advantage of it?

Cedric,
Thanks for responding. I was hoping this might be a way around the VGA limitation, and offer full compatabillity with high end monitors now and going forward. I sure hope Lenovo recognizes the need for a DVI/HDMI port on the next T series release. Many high end monitors can only be connected via DVI or HDMI which one would expect. However there are plenty of people whose monitors only have VGA, so I appreciate the difficulty Lenovo is facing in trying to accomadate everyone. Again I was hoping UWB was the answer.
I made a quick pass at reviewing some of the articles on UWB and found a new one regarding a San Diego company. I was not able to find the article I had read, that to my recolection indicated UWB was enabling wireless transmission of HD content for commercial applications in cinematography.
Here are the links regarding Pulse Link and high bandwidth UWB:

How to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch

Hi
Can you please tell me how to find Latch and what actions need to be taken when there is a latch?
Thanks
Regards,
RJ.

1. What is a latch?
Latches are low level serialization mechanisms used to protect shared
data structures in the SGA. The implementation of latches is operating
system dependent, particularly in regard to whether a process will wait
for a latch and for how long.
A latch is a type of a lock that can be very quickly acquired and freed.
Latches are typically used to prevent more than one process from
executing the same piece of code at a given time. Associated with each
latch is a cleanup procedure that will be called if a process dies while
holding the latch. Latches have an associated level that is used to
prevent deadlocks. Once a process acquires a latch at a certain level it
cannot subsequently acquire a latch at a level that is equal to or less
than that level (unless it acquires it nowait).
2. Latches vs Enqueues
Enqueues are another type of locking mechanism used in Oracle.
An enqueue is a more sophisticated mechanism which permits several concurrent
processes to have varying degree of sharing of "known" resources. Any object
which can be concurrently used, can be protected with enqueues. A good example
is of locks on tables. We allow varying levels of sharing on tables e.g.
two processes can lock a table in share mode or in share update mode etc.
One difference is that the enqueue is obtained using an OS specific
locking mechanism. An enqueue allows the user to store a value in the lock,
i.e the mode in which we are requesting it. The OS lock manager keeps track
of the resources locked. If a process cannot be granted the lock because it
is incompatible with the mode requested and the lock is requested with wait,
the OS puts the requesting process on a wait queue which is serviced in FIFO.
Another difference between latches and enqueues is that
in latches there is no ordered queue of waiters like in enqueues. Latch
waiters may either use timers to wakeup and retry or spin (only in
multiprocessors). Since all waiters are concurrently retrying (depending on
the scheduler), anyone might get the latch and conceivably the first one to
try might be the last one to get.
3. When do we need to obtain a latch?
A process acquires a latch when working with a structure in the SGA
(System Global Area). It continues to hold the latch for the period
of time it works with the structure. The latch is dropped when the
process is finished with the structure. Each latch protects a different
set of data, identified by the name of the latch.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like "test and set" for operating on latches.
Processes waiting to execute a part of code for which a latch has
already been obtained by some other process will wait until the
latch is released. Examples are redo allocation latches, copy
latches, archive control latch etc. The basic idea is to block concurrent
access to shared data structures. Since the instructions to
set and free latches are atomic, the OS guarantees that only one process gets
it. Since it is only one instruction, it is quite fast. Latches are held
for short periods of time and provide a mechanism for cleanup in case
a holder dies abnormally while holding it. This cleaning is done using
the services of PMON.
4. Latches request modes?
Latches request can be made in two modes: "willing-to-wait" or "no wait". Normally,
latches will be requested in "willing-to-wait" mode. A request in "willing-to-wait" mode
will loop, wait, and request again until the latch is obtained. In "no wait" mode the process
request the latch. If one is not available, instead of waiting, another one is requested. Only
when all fail does the server process have to wait.
Examples of "willing-to-wait" latches are: shared pool and library cache latches
A example of "no wait" latches is the redo copy latch.
5. What causes latch contention?
If a required latch is busy, the process requesting it spins, tries again
and if still not available, spins again. The loop is repeated up to a maximum
number of times determined by the initialization parameter SPINCOUNT.
If after this entire loop, the latch is still not available, the process must yield
the CPU and go to sleep. Initially is sleeps for one centisecond. This time is
doubled in every subsequent sleep.
This causes a slowdown to occur and results in additional CPU usage,
until a latch is available. The CPU usage is a consequence of the
"spinning" of the process. "Spinning" means that the process continues to
look for the availability of the latch after certain intervals of time,
during which it sleeps.
6. How to identify contention for internal latches?
Relevant data dictionary views to query
V$LATCH
V$LATCHHOLDER
V$LATCHNAME
Each row in the V$LATCH table contains statistics for a different type
of latch. The columns of the table reflect activity for different types
of latch requests. The distinction between these types of requests is
whether the requesting process continues to request a latch if it
is unavailable:
willing-to-wait If the latch requested with a willing-to-wait
request is not available, the requesting process
waits a short time and requests the latch again.
The process continues waiting and requesting until
the latch is available.
no wait If the latch requested with an immediate request is
not available, the requesting process does not
wait, but continues processing.
V$LATCHNAME key information:
GETS Number of successful willing-to-wait requests for
a latch.
MISSES Number of times an initial willing-to-wait request
was unsuccessful.
SLEEPS Number of times a process waited a requested a latch
after an initial wiling-to-wait request.
IMMEDIATE_GETS Number of successful immediate requests for each latch.
IMMEDIATE_MISSES Number of unsuccessful immediate requests for each latch.
Calculating latch hit ratio
To get the Hit ratio for latches apply the following formula:
"willing-to-wait" Hit Ratio=(GETS-MISSES)/GETS
"no wait" Hit Ratio=(IMMEDIATE_GETS-IMMEDIATE_MISSES)/IMMEDIATE_GETS
This number should be close to 1. If not, tune according to the latch name
7. Useful SQL scripts to get latch information
** Display System-wide latch statistics.
column name format A32 truncate heading "LATCH NAME"
column pid heading "HOLDER PID"
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+)
and a.latch# = c.latch#
order by a.latch#;
** Given a latch address, find out the latch name.
column name format a64 heading 'Name'
select a.name from v$latchname a, v$latch b
where b.addr = '&addr'
and b.latch#=a.latch#;
** Display latch statistics by latch name.
column name format a32 heading 'LATCH NAME'
column pid heading 'HOLDER PID'
select c.name,a.addr,a.gets,a.misses,a.sleeps,
a.immediate_gets,a.immediate_misses,b.pid
from v$latch a, v$latchholder b, v$latchname c
where a.addr = b.laddr(+) and a.latch# = c.latch#
and c.name like '&latch_name%' order by a.latch#;
8. List of all the latches
Oracle versions might differ in the latch# assigned to the existing latches.
The following query will help you to identify all latches and the number assigned.
column name format a40 heading 'LATCH NAME'
select latch#, name from v$latchname;

My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

Of course not - in fact it is not something done by iPhoto - it is most likely a user error
What exactly did you do? What did you download? there is nothing in iPhoto that ever changes the resolution of any photo - in fact you can not do it if you want in iPhoto - you have to export photos to a location outside of iPhoto to change the resolution
have you loaded your backup from before you did what ever you did? That is probably the fastest and easiest way to resolve the problem

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property.. Help?

Hi Spears,
I not sure what your actual question is.
Does the CSV file include only your payments? Your payments and your dad's payments as separate items?
Do you want to com[are ongoing payments, or do you want to compare the current totals paid by each? Is the 'we' in "what we own" collective, or individual? DItto for "how much is owed."
Too many loose ends to tie down a clear answer.

How To Handle Tickets and What are those

Hi Everybody,
Can anybody tell me, How to handle tickets and what are those.
srinivas

Hi,
Tickets are basically assocaited with Production support type of work.
Tickets are nothing but the medium through which problems reported either in the system or by users to the Production support team.
There are certain problem management tools that every organization uses (tickets are created and worked on using those tools). There are tools like Vantive, Remedy, CASE, etc.
Usually the helpdesk gets the first contact for any user problems and then they log a ticket with the appropriate support teams. The support teams then pick up those tickets and work on them till they are resolved. There are tickets created for user problems or any batch job failures, system failures, etc.
Tickets are usually classified as Critical, High or Low and again they are categorized as High Severity, Medium Severity or Low Severity. All these types of tickets have SLAs (Service level agreements) for the Support teams to respond and the resolve the tickets in.

HI
Can any guide me how to gather requirements and what r the approaches and documents.

VSM

Modeling approach:
Top down - Try and find out what kind of reports the users need. Based o that you can determine your granularity of data.
Have to find out what the sources are. Then decide if you have standard content or if you need to enhance or develop new objects.
Try and see if standard reports are enough.
If they ned aggregated data, decide on cubes. Then decide what all business areas the reports encompass. Based on that u can decide to build multiproviders or infosets depending on requirement.
try to incorporate all the keyfigures and characteristics in your data model.
then decide how many layer ODS's you might need.
then come up with a data model accordingly.

Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you!

Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you! I'm trying to avoid creating my exchange activesync account on her Iphone and then sync only my calendar.

Thank you for your time. I'm trying to avoid that because she can then simply turn on mail syncronization and then she could read my mail. Another reason is our password policy, that enforces changing our windows logon password every 90 days. Of course changing windows logon passwords demands changing exchange account logon info (password) on Iphone. I have read somwhere that there was an app but it was removed from app store. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

Hi Melfour-
Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:
