20090300605VIRTUAL COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system has a virtual overlay infrastructure mapped onto physical resources for processing, storage and network communications, the virtual infrastructure having virtual entities for processing, storage and network communications. Each virtual infrastructure can be passivated by suspending applications, stopping operating systems, and storing state, to enable later reactivation. This is simpler for a complete virtual infrastructure than for groups of virtual entities and physical entities. It enables cloned virtual infrastructure to be created for testing, upgrading or sharing without risk to the parent. On failure, reversion to a previous working clone is feasible.12-03-2009

20080270198Systems and Methods for Providing Remediation Recommendations - In one embodiment, a system and method pertain to receiving audit exceptions indicative of instances of noncompliance of an information system under evaluation relative to a policy or standard, identifying remediation recommendations that are relevant to the audit exceptions and that indicate how to correct conditions that caused the noncompliance, and providing the remediation recommendations to an entity responsible for correcting the conditions so as to provide information as to how the information system can be brought into compliance with the policy or standard.10-30-2008
20080271110Systems and Methods for Monitoring Compliance With Standards or Policies - In one embodiment, a system or method pertain to accessing a model that comprises a computer-readable version of a standard or policy, identifying rules or requirements specified by the model that pertain to compliance with the standard or policy, and automatically generating questions relevant to the identified rules or requirements, the questions being intended to query intended respondents as to compliance with the identified rules or requirements.10-30-2008
20090199177VIRTUAL COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system has a virtual overlay infrastructure mapped onto physical resources for processing, storage and network communications, the virtual infrastructure having virtual entities for processing, storage and network communications. The system has a mapping manager to dynamically alter the mapping for balancing, performance, and redundancy. There can be more independence from the underlying physical configuration, compared to known methods of virtualizing only some of the entities. The mapping manager can be distributed across a number of entities on different physical servers arranged to cooperate with each other.08-06-2009
20090241108VIRTUAL COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system has a virtual overlay infrastructure mapped onto physical resources for processing, storage and network communications, the virtual infrastructure having virtual entities for processing, storage and network communications. Virtual infrastructures of different users share physical resources but are isolated. Each infrastructure has its own infrastructure controller to create and configure the infrastructure. It has a user accessible part (CFC) for configuration of that user's infrastructure, and a user inaccessible part (UFC) able to access the mapping and the physical resources. This increases user control to ease system administration, while maintaining security by limiting access to the mapping.09-24-2009
20100082991TRUSTED KEY MANAGEMENT FOR VIRTUALIZED PLATFORMS - To provide a secure service to an application virtual machine running in a first domain of a virtualized computing platform, a second domain is arranged to run a corresponding service driver exclusively for the application virtual machine. As part of the secure service, the service driver effects a key-based cryptographic operation; to do so, the service driver has to obtain the appropriate key from a key manager. The key manager is arranged to store the key and to release it to the service driver only upon receiving evidence of its identity and being satisfied of compliance with release policies associated with the key. These policies include receipt of valid integrity metrics, signed by trusted-device functionality of the virtualized computing platform, for the service driver and the code on which it depends.04-01-2010

20100201696Image Display System with Visual Server - An image display system with one or more client computers in selective communication with a visual server having image processing capabilities. The client computer generates image modifying data corresponding to a generated image, and transmits the data to the visual server. The visual server receives the image-modifying data, generates a modified image based upon the image-modifying data, and transmits the modified image as compressed data to the client. The client decompresses the modified image data and displays the modified image. In the system, the visual server and client can provide a sequential display of modified frames on client to support animation with complex 3-dimensional graphics.08-12-2010

20080287316Screening arrangement for screening immunoassay tests and agglutination tests - A screening device for performing an immunoassay test to detect the presence of a compound in a body fluid. The device includes a holder for removably receiving a membrane to which the fluid has been applied. A light is directed to the membrane. A photodetector measures the concentration of the light reflected back from the membrane. Specifically, the concentrations of reflected light from a control zone and a test zone are measured. Signals representative of the measured light concentrations are applied to a processor. If a specified concentration of predetermined light from a control zone on the membrane is detected, the processor considers the test to be successful. In the test is successful, the processor, based upon the measured concentration of reflected light from the test zone, generates data representative of the presence of the compound.11-20-2008

20110134421APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RAMAN SIGNAL DETECTION - Raman band detection apparatus illuminates a sample using an illumination source that oscillates in wavelength over a range. The source might for example switch between two wavelengths or might traverse the wavelength range. A wavelength sensitive detector detects radiation emitted by the sample at a series of different wavelengths and a signal processor extracts signals that have a temporal correspondence to the wavelength variation of the illumination at the different wavelengths. One or more Raman bands that might be present will produce a distinctive characteristic of the extracted signals plotted against a spectral axis and relatively simple processing of these spectrally-related time-varying components can then enhance the appearance of the Raman band in a spectral representation based on the processed components. For example, such processing might comprise numerical integration across a spectral plot of the components, or the selection and shifting of certain components, for instance negative components, to overlie others within portions of the spectral representation showing the presence of the Raman band.06-09-2011
