| 20080263365 | INTEGRATING LEGACY APPLICATION/DATA ACCESS WITH SINGLE SIGN-ON IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - The present invention provides methods, systems, computer program products, and methods of doing business whereby legacy host application/system access is integrated with single sign-on in a modern distributed computing environment. A security token used for signing on to the modern computing environment is leveraged, and is mapped to user credentials for the legacy host environment. These user credentials are programmatically inserted into a legacy host data stream, thereby giving the end user the look and feel of seamless access to all applications/systems, including not only modern computing applications/systems but also those residing on (or accessible through) legacy hosts. In addition to providing users with the advantages of single sign-on, the disclosed techniques enable limiting the number of user identifiers and passwords an enterprise has to manage. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20090077486 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING ENHANCED DROPDOWN SELECTION LISTS AND COMBINATION BOXES - The present invention provides enhanced dropdown selection lists and combination boxes. A method in accordance with an embodiment includes: providing a graphical user interface (GUI) control that displays a dropdown list when actuated, and displaying indicia in the GUI control indicating a number of entries in the dropdown list, wherein a user can visually determine from the indicia the number of entries in the dropdown list prior to display of the dropdown list. A method in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention includes: providing a GUI control having an entry field; and displaying indicia in the GUI control indicating whether the entry field of the GUI control is writable, wherein a user can visually determine from the indicia whether the entry field of the GUI control is writable before placing a cursor in the entry field. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20120159627 | SUSPICIOUS NODE DETECTION AND RECOVERY IN MAPREDUCE COMPUTING - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to distributed computing for large data sets on clusters of computers and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for detecting and correcting malicious nodes in a cloud computing environment (e.g., MapReduce computing). In one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for detecting and correcting malicious nodes in a cloud computing environment can include selecting a task to dispatch to a first worker node, setting a suspicion index threshold for the selected task, determining a suspicion index for the selected task, comparing the suspicion index to the suspicion index threshold and receiving a result from a first worker node. The method further can include applying a recovery action when the suspicion index exceeds the selected suspicion index threshold. | 06-21-2012 |

| 20090011390 | Method and Apparatus for Facilitating Tactile Identification of a Document Attribute - The illustrative embodiments described herein provide an apparatus and method for facilitating tactile identification of a document attribute. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a document. The document has a set of document attributes. The apparatus also includes a fluid incorporated within the document at a designated location associated with a document attribute in the set of document attributes. The fluid changes rigidity in the presence of an electric field to facilitate tactile identification of the document attribute. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090041220 | RING-TONE IDENTIFIATIONOF URGENT PHONE CALLS - A method for activating a distinctive ring-tone can include the steps of extracting caller identifying data from an incoming phone call; comparing the caller identifying data to data in a caller list; determining whether the caller is authorized to activate a distinctive ring-tone based upon the comparison; and, activating a distinctive ring-tone if the caller is authorized and if a request to activate a distinctive ring-tone can be detected in the incoming phone call. The extracting step can include the step of extracting a source phone number from the incoming phone call. The determining step can include the step of determining whether the caller has been included in the caller list as an authorized caller. Conversely, the determining step comprises the step of determining whether the caller has been included in the caller list as an unauthorized caller. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090183144 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A COMPONENTIZED RESOURCE ADAPTER ARCHITECTURE - A computer program product comprises a computer useable medium. The computer useable medium has a computer readable program such that when the computer readable medium is executed on a computer, the computer is caused to configure an adapter such that the adapter is specific to a data source, provides a communication link to the data source, converts a format of the data source to a format native to a middleware system, and converts a format of metadata of the data source to a standard metadata format. Further, the computer is caused to configure an application interface component to convert an invocation of a function in the middleware system to an invocation of a function provided by an Enterprise Information System through the adapter, convert the data format of the middleware system to a format native to the Enterprise Information System accessed through the adapter, and maintain metadata describing a message format and a function provided by the adapter. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20120297631 | WORKING APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A working apparatus has an internal combustion engine which drives at least one tool via a clutch. The clutch starts the coupling process at an initial engagement speed when the internal combustion engine is accelerated. The internal combustion engine has a piston, an ignition device and an ignition timing control device. The control device provides a first ignition timing for idling and a second ignition timing for full load operation, which is earlier than the first ignition timing. A method for operating the working apparatus provides that the ignition timing is adjusted toward “late,” with respect to the first ignition timing, when the engine speed drops in a first speed range above the idling speed and below the initial engagement speed. | 11-29-2012 |
