| 20090212936 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ALARM SUPPRESSION IN A MONITORING SYSTEM - A method, apparatus and system are provided that receive an alarm record and compare the alarm record to a suppression description that describes an alarm to be suppressed. A suppression flag of the received alarm record is set in accordance with a result of the comparison. A suppression trigger message may be received and compared to the suppression description. The suppression description may be enabled in accordance with the result of the suppression trigger message comparison and the alarm record compared to the suppression description only if the suppression description is enabled. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20080270414 | Method and system for automating purpose usage selection on web sites - This invention automates the selection of purpose usages when a user agent interacts with a web site that has been enabled for automated purpose usage information exchange. A user first configures the purpose usage automation in his or her user agent. At this stage, which typically occurs off-line, the user decides on a level of automation when specifying the one or more purpose usages. If desired, this preference may depend on how “trusted” the site is to the user. Later, when the user navigates to an organization's web site, the user agent communicates the purpose usage settings to the organization according to the level of purpose usage automation that has been configured. In particular, when a user's agent visits a web site, the user agent detects that “automated purpose usage” is enabled for the web site. The web site then provides the user agent with a list of one or more purpose usage options required or desired by the organization. The user agent then determines the response for each purpose usage option. This determination may be completely automatic, or partially automated, depending on the user's configuration. The web site then receives the purpose usage selections. At this point, the user agent can provide PII and the user is assured that such information is managed or used by the organization only according to the user's desires. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080270802 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION - The present invention provides a way to protect PII (or, more generally, any user “sensitive” information) throughout its life cycle in an organization. The techniques described herein ensure that a user's PII is protecting during storage, access or transfer of the data. Preferably, this objective is accomplished by associating given metadata with a given piece of PII and then storing the PII and metadata in a “privacy protecting envelope.” The given metadata includes, without limitation, the privacy policy that applies to the PII, as well as a set of one more purpose usages for the PII that the system has collected from an end user's user agent (e.g., a web browser), preferably in an automated manner. Preferably, the PII data, the privacy policy, and the user preferences (the purpose usages) are formatted in a structured document, such as XML. The information in the XML document (as well as the document itself) is then protected against misuse during storage, access or transfer using one or more of the following techniques: encryption, digital signatures, and digital rights management. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20120084327 | Building Information Technology Services From a Library of Elements - Source entities with initially predefined properties for service modeling are presented in a library for user selection as service modeling entities. An automated computer process expediter copies user selected ones of the source entities from the library into a computer readable storage medium providing a services layer. The copying generates instances in the services layer of the selected service modeling source entities, such that the services layer instances at least initially include the initially predefined properties of their respective source entities. The automated computer process expediter maintains the properties of the selected ones of the source entities, including maintaining the selected source entities' properties independently of changes made in a first change mode to the properties of the service modeling entity instances, which are in the services layer, so that the user may change the properties of the layer service modeling instances. | 04-05-2012 |

| 20090186683 | GAMING SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF GAMING - A gaming system comprises a first rotatable symbol selector and a second rotatable symbol selector. The first rotatable symbol selector has a surface divided into segments, with each segment having at least one of a plurality of a first set of symbols allocated thereto, each segment being associated with a peripheral portion of the first symbol selector. The second rotatable symbol selector has a surface divided into segments with each segment having at least one of a plurality of a second set of symbols allocated thereto, each segment being associated with a peripheral portion of the second symbol selector. The symbol selectors are positioned relative to each other so that after the symbol selectors are rotated and when a condition is met, the symbols associated with respective peripheral portions of the symbol selectors in a first designated relationship with one another are selected for use in a game outcome. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090305766 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GAMING - A method of gaming comprises providing a jackpot game in addition to a main game, the jackpot game being displayed independently of the main game. Play of the jackpot game affects at least one of the awarding of a jackpot prize and value of a jackpot prize pool from which the jackpot prize is awarded. | 12-10-2009 |
