| 20110208771 | Collaborative online search tool - The invention is a computerized process for the collaborative finding and understanding of information on the World Wide Web through the end user input of queries in the form of text and images, which in turn filter interchangeable localized and third party databases resulting in the output of a specific set of search results. This computerized process is embodied by online software that enables end users to first input text or images and secondly manually drag and drop that input into an arrangement within a spatial environment. Communication features then make it possible for communication to occur between users in order to facilitate the understanding of a given input. The arrangement of text and images, as well as the selection of local and third party databases, may be saved so that one or multiple users may return for further input and communication at a later date and time. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090199159 | DECLARATIVE EXECUTION CONTEXT SPLITTING - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for enabling code to be executed on one or more execution contexts based upon declarative annotations contained in the code or other locations. An annotation associated with a region of code is located. The annotation specifies information about an execution context where the region of code should be executed. A caller proxy is generated that is responsible for calling a callee adapter to execute the region of code. The callee adapter is generated that is responsible for receiving a call from the caller proxy and for dispatching a call to the region of code at the execution context. At runtime, the caller proxy receives a request to call the region of code and sends an execution request to the callee adapter. The callee adapter receives the execution request and dispatches a call to an executable version of the region of code. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20110173620 | Execution Context Control - A system and method for controlling the execution of notifications in a computer system with multiple notification contexts. A RunOn operator enables context hopping between notification contexts. Push-based stream operators optionally perform error checking to determine if notifications combined into a push-based stream share a common notification context. Context boxes group together notification creators and associate their notifications with a common scheduler and notification context. Operators employ a composition architecture, in which they receive one or more push-based streams and produce a transformed push-based stream that may be further operated upon. Components may be used in combinations to implement various policies, including a strict policy in which all notifications are scheduled in a common execution context, a permissive policy that provides programming flexibility, and a hybrid policy that combines flexibility with error checking. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20100131255 | HYBRID SOLVER FOR DATA-DRIVEN ANALYTICS - A complex solver that is able to solve a diverse variety of model analytics. Upon identifying the various input variable(s) and output variable(s) of the model variables, if a straight forward solve is not to be performed, it is determined whether the model analytics is to be inverted such that a forward solve can be performed. For instance, it might not be known generally, or at least to the solver, how to invert a particular equation of other model analytics. If the model analytics is to be inverted, the model analytics is inverted, and the forward solve is performed. On the other hand, if the inversion of the model analytics is not to be performed, then a numerical analysis solve is performed. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20090282289 | GENERATION AND EVALUATION OF TEST CASES FOR SOFTWARE VALIDATION AND PROOFS - A “property checker” uses light-weight symbolic execution to prove that software programs satisfy safety properties by simultaneously performing program testing and program abstraction. A simple example of safety properties includes conditions that must be satisfied for proper program execution, such as whether an application properly interfaces with API methods or functions. Program tests are an “under-approximation” of program behavior, and abstractions are an “over-approximation” of the program. This simultaneous testing either finds a test-case that reaches an error state, or finds an abstraction showing that no path in the state space of the program can reach any error state. If a test-case reaches an error state, the property checker has discovered a violation of the safety property. Conversely, if no path in the state space can reach any error state, the property checker has proved that the program satisfies the desired safety property. | 11-12-2009 |
