20080320498	High Performance Script Behavior Detection Through Browser Shimming - The behavior of browser applications, such as web browsers, can be controlled in part by script-based instructions present within documents read by those browsers. To analyze such scripts in an efficient manner, a script analyzer can identify the scripts in the document, divide them into script modules, and order the modules to represent an interpretational flow. The script can be interpreted and executed on a line-by-line basis and its behavior analyzed. Prior to interpretation, the scripts can be reviewed for delay conditionals, and such statements can be modified for more efficient interpretation. Additionally, if, during interpretation, the script generates new script, or modifies existing script, such new scripts can be themselves interpreted. External function calls made by the script can be intercepted and responded to in a generic fashion, limiting the need to create a document object model, based on the document's data, solely for script analysis purposes.	12-25-2008

Disclosed devices can be utilized, for example, to deliver tPA to blood clots, for instance in postmyocardial infarction or ischemic stroke treatment, and can minimize systemic plasminemia compared to the use of free tPA.	10-28-2010

20100049628	System and Method for Service Virtualization in a Service Governance Framework - A service governance framework may provide a platform for development and hosting of virtual service offerings and generation of interfaces to operations thereof, dependent on configurable functional parameters and/or non-functional aspects associated therewith. Virtualization techniques may be applied at an endpoint level, binding level, message level, operation level, and/or service level at design time, and supported with corresponding changes at runtime. Users having various roles may access the framework to specify operations of services provided by computing service sources to include in a virtual service offering, specify configuration parameter values associated with them, and/or specify a contract of non-functional aspect clauses for the virtual service offering. The framework may produce the interface by modifying an interface provided by the computing service sources (e.g., a WSDL). The framework may include aspect enforcement methods and an underlying common information model, and may support versioning and life cycles of service offerings and/or components.	02-25-2010

20080225864	COMMUNICATION NETWORK ROUTING APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUES USING LOGICAL COMMUNICATION LINKS - Communication network routing apparatus and techniques using logical communication links are disclosed. A routing apparatus identifies a logical communication link that it is capable of being used to establish a virtual connection with another routing apparatus within a virtual connection operational domain, which includes multiple sub-domains, of an underlying communication system. A destination that is associated with the routing apparatus and is reachable through the virtual connection is also identified. Information that is indicative of the identified logical communication link and of the identified destination is provided for distribution from a sub-domain of the routing apparatus in the virtual connection operational domain to another sub-domain within the virtual connection operational domain. This distribution of information enables a routing apparatus in one sub-domain to dynamically route a virtual connection toward a destination in a different sub-domain. Data structures for distributing the information are also disclosed.	09-18-2008
