Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100042448APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR EVALUATING ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR USING ORGANIZATION ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION - An apparatus, and an associated methodology for evaluating organization behavior from electronic communications between members of an organization. The comparison determines whether a first group dominates a second group, whether a first person of a first group dominates said first group or whether a first person of a first group dominates said organization. An alert message is generated and transmitted if it is determined that communications indicate that organizational effectiveness is or might be effected by inappropriate communications.02-18-2010
20110140993AGGREGATE DISPLAY - Techniques for incorporating an electrically mutable display in product packaging and forming an aggregate display therefrom are disclosed herein. A system includes a plurality of display systems. Each display system includes a display device. The display systems are configured to form an aggregate display including the display device of each display system. Each display system is configured to determine the relative location of the display system among the plurality of display systems. Based on the determined location, each display system provides, via the display device of the display system, a portion of the aggregate display.06-16-2011

20090265703System and method for application portability - A data processing system having a processor and accessible memory, the data processing system executing a first operating system, the data processing system also having an application and virtualized application environment, the application and virtualized application environment capable of being packaged and moved to a second data processing system. There is also a machine-usable medium encoded with a container, the container storing a packaged data processing system application and associated virtualized application environment, the virtualized application environment capable of being executed on a plurality of different operating systems. There is also a method, including executing an application in a virtualized application environment on a first device and packaging the virtualized application environment and the application in a container. The method also includes unpacking the container on a second device and executing the application in the virtualized application environment on the second device.10-22-2009
20100030598PLATFORM PROVISIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD - There is provided a platform provisioning system and method. More specifically, in one embodiment, there is a computerized method of provisioning a new environment to an application platform, the method including analyzing a current state of the application platform, defining business requirements for the new environment, defining technical requirements for the new environment, generating a logical architecture for the new environment based on the business requirements and the technical requirements, performing a gap analysis on the application platform based on the current state of the application platform and the generated logical architecture, generating a technical architecture for the new environment based at least partially on the gap analysis, generating a physical architecture for the new environment based at least partially on the technical architecture, and provisioning the new environment based at least partially on the physical architecture.02-04-2010
20100036665GENERATING SPEECH-ENABLED USER INTERFACES - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for automatically creating a speech-based user interface involve identifying a software service definition that includes service inputs, service outputs, and context data and accessing a standard user interface incorporating the service input and output. The standard user interface defines a set of valid inputs for the service input and a set of available outputs, at least one of which based on the context data. Audio data is associated with at least some of the inputs in the set of valid inputs to define a set of valid speech inputs. A speech-based user interface is automatically generated from the standard user interface and the set of valid speech inputs.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110265605METHODS OF PRODUCING AND RECOVERING PLUTONIUM-238 - Methods of producing plutonium-238 are disclosed. One method includes dissolving neptunium-237 in a nitric acid solution to produce a neptunium target solution, subjecting the neptunium target solution to neutron radiation to produce plutonium-238, and removing the plutonium-238 from the neptunium target solution. A second method includes exposing a solution of neptunium-237 to neutron radiation to produce plutonium-238, complexing the plutonium-238 with an organophosphorus compound, and separating the plutonium-238/organophosphorus compound complex from the solution of neptunium-237. A third method includes dissolving neptunium-237 to form a neptunium-237 target solution, exposing the neptunium-237 to thermal neutrons to produce plutonium-238, utilizing an organophosphorus compound to complex the plutonium-238 and the organophosphorus compound, extracting the plutonium-238/organophosphorus compound complex from the irradiated neptunium target solution, and recovering the plutonium-238.11-03-2011

20080256036SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING DATA SEARCHES USING MULTIPLE DATA SEARCH PROVIDERS - A system and method are provided for performing data searches in response to a user request. The system has an application server that is configured to receive user requests, to send search requests based on the user requests, and to communicate with a plurality of search provider systems. The search provider systems each have searchable data and are configured to receive the search requests from the application server and generate search results in response to the search request. A rules manager resides on the application server and is configured to identify a set of search provider systems to send the search request to based on the user request. The method includes the steps of: receiving a user request; determining a set of search providers based on the user request; sending a search request to the set of search providers; receiving search results from at least one of the search providers; merging the search results received from the set of search providers; and sending the merged search results to the user.10-16-2008
