20140278340 | DYNAMIC MEMORY MANAGEMENT FOR A VIRTUAL SUPERCOMPUTER - Present invention embodiments enable the handling of various index-memory architectures for a virtual supercomputer that would allow for a heterogeneous storage of variable length index words with non-sequential addressing, and also dynamic changes to the index-memory architecture. A computer-implemented system, method, and apparatus allow for different types of node index memory (NIM) architectures for the virtual supercomputer. The first type allows for homogenous NIM segments, and implementing sequential node-number addressing. A second type of architecture allows for heterogeneous IW configurations (variable length and field structure), but sill uses sequential node-number addressing. A third type allows for non-sequential node-number addressing, but still uses homogeneous IW configurations. To implement this, a new virtual hardware element is required, an Index-Word Address Table. The fourth type of architecture is a fully variable random-access architecture, whereby index-words are not sequential, nor are they identically configured. This also requires the Index-Word Address Table. | 09-18-2014 |

20120265744 | Knowledge-based e-catalog procurement system and method - A flexible, intelligent electronic procurement method and system that emulates and learns from the adaptive behavior of a user trying to find a product in an electronic catalog. The invention allows for searching heterogeneous catalogs in virtually any format, and does not require pre-defined hierarchies, nor the pre-loading of vendor catalog contents, nor the scrubbing of vendor data. It does not impose fixed structures on the user, and it does not force the user to think like someone else. Instead, the invention allows the user to choose their own way to navigate a catalog of items, and then by recording successful search scenarios and storing that knowledge in a dynamic collection of search paths, the invention organically evolves. As the collection of search paths can be accessed by other users, the utility of the invention increases over time once implemented in a given environment. | 10-18-2012 |

20080221915 | Softwate method and system to enable compliance with audit requirements for electronic procurement pricing - The present invention, named PriceAudit, is an electronic procurement tool that enables the buyer, or purchasing organization, to precisely audit, and therefore validate, on a near real-time basis, their purchasing patterns and prices across all of their (or any other) internet-based suppliers. It allows the comparison of punchout (live supplier internet catalog) price information with prior or negotiated prices, offering the ability to audit and analyze price changes. This enables the user to compare and track price changes from punchout suppliers, compile information for Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements, and ensure compliance with supplier contracts, via comparison of prices paid with prices negotiated with a supplier. | 09-11-2008 |
20090094227 | Adaptive e-procurement find assistant using algorithmic intelligence and organic knowledge capture - The present invention is a real-time intelligent find-assistant that suggests useful search terms to a buyer shopping an electronic catalog, as they progress in their online journey to find a particular item for potential purchase. In contrast to current approaches, the present invention uses an adaptive algorithm to extract and rank-order possible search terms from candidate vendor catalog pages, based upon a measure of relevance, or utility, derived from the proximity of possible non-generic terms in the vendor catalog to the terms already selected by the user in their current search. Also in contrast to current approaches, the invention captures and stores buyers' entire history of choices over time (even years), and uses this knowledge to make increasingly useful suggestions to a buyer as to what item descriptions to look for, as they progress through their search, thus allowing an organization to leverage expert purchasing behaviors for use by novice buyers. | 04-09-2009 |
20100191616 | Software method and system to enable automatic, real-time extraction of item price and availability from a supplier catalog during a buyer's electronic procurement shopping process - The present invention, termed the Interactive Organic Agent (IOA), augments electronic procurement shopping software with functionality that enables the purchasing organization to capture, in real-time, any changes in supplier item price and availability, as the buyer (user) is shopping or browsing the buyer-side remote catalog index. In particular, as the buyer is viewing remote-catalog pages of items that have been selected as the result of a search, or simply via browsing, the IOA automatically, without any required user action, makes a direct connection to the live supplier online site(s) that correspond to the items being viewed, and then retrieves the latest price & availability data. Via the use of knowledge-capture and artificial intelligence (including an Organic Profile Language) to trigger an operation termed “Organic Punch-out”, the IOA generates a background connection to a live vendor site only when, and only long enough as, necessary to retrieve updated item information, without any direct action by the buyer. | 07-29-2010 |
