20080249978APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR CERTIFICATE OF MAILING - An apparatus and system are disclosed for analyzing computer events recorded in a plurality of computer datasets. The apparatus includes a read module configured to access chronicle records in two datasets, an extraction module configured to extract a timestamp from each chronicle record, a generation module configured to generate a chronicle time indicator for each chronicle record based on the extracted timestamp, and a placement module configured to place the generated chronicle time indicator into the associated chronicle record. Typically, chronicle records in a first chronicle record have records with desired timestamp characteristics while chronicle records in a second dataset have chronicle records with incompatible timestamp characteristics. The apparatus and method generate the chronicle time indicator to be compatible with desired timestamp characteristics of the first dataset and place the generated chronicle time indicator in each incompatible chronicle record.10-09-2008
20080275944TRANSACTION-INITIATED BATCH PROCESSING - A system and method is provided for initiating batch processing on a computer system from a terminal. The method generates a message from the terminal, where the message defines a transaction to be performed on a computer system. The transaction schedules and runs a program that extracts data from the message. The message is then transmitted to the computer system. The data is then used to generate batch job control language and a batch job is run on the computer system. The output of the batch job is then routed back to the terminal.11-06-2008
20090063577APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING SEMI-AUTOMATIC DATASET MAINTENANCE - An apparatus and system are disclosed for performing semi-automatic dataset maintenance. The apparatus includes an input module that receives a dataset qualifier. The dataset qualifier describes a collection of datasets. The input module also receives a desired maintenance action to be applied to the datasets. A retrieval module retrieves a set of dataset identifiers that satisfy the dataset qualifier from a mainframe operating system. A command module constructs a set of mainframe operating system commands to fulfill the desired maintenance action. The set of commands includes at least one command for each dataset.03-05-2009
20090063578MANAGEMENT OF DATA NEEDED TO RESOLVE POINTER ERRORS IN HEIRARCHICAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS - A method for managing data needed to resolve pointer errors is provided. The method provides for receiving information concerning a pointer error, preparing the information received, submitting a job to select, sort, and format a subset of log and/or trace records such that the subset of records can be analyzed to resolve the pointer error.03-05-2009

20100037863FLUID LEAK LIMITER - A fluid leak limiter for a high-pressure fuel injection system is disclosed. The fluid leak limiter may have a body at least partially defining a central bore and having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a piston reciprocatingly disposed within the central bore, and a spring located to bias the piston toward a first flow-blocking position at which fluid from the fluid inlet is inhibited from flowing to the fluid outlet. The fluid leak limiter may also have a pin configured to selectively lock the piston in a second flow-blocking position at which fluid from the fluid inlet is inhibited from flowing to the fluid outlet.02-18-2010

20100235298METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYSING INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS CONSIDERING RETURN AND RISK - A method and apparatus is provided for use by an investor to analyze investments in a user's portfolio of investments. The method assists an investor in determining the proper mix of investments such as securities to hold in their investment portfolio to achieve an acceptable mix of investment risk and investment return. The investment risk and return data are analyzed and an investment portfolio is constructed that meets the investor's criteria.09-16-2010
