20100138814 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING LONG NAMES IN AN APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE - Software managing long names in an application programming interface receives a request to perform a requested operation on one or more fields, the application comprising a first operation operable to perform the requested operation on at least one field type. The software determines whether the field type of any of the fields is incompatible with the first operation. If the field types of the one or more fields are compatible with the first operation, then the software performs the requested operation on the one or more fields using the first operation. If the software determines that the field type of at least one of the fields is incompatible with the first operation, then it converts the request into a call for a second operation operable to perform the requested operation on the one or more fields and performs the requested operation using the second operation. | 06-03-2010 |

20140156709 | AGGREGATING KEYS OF DEPENDENT OBJECTS FOR A GIVEN PRIMARY OBJECT - Keys are obtained and aggregated by storing a primary object as an entry in a parent keys storage and a child keys storage, the entry identified as unvisited in each. An object evaluation process is then performed until all unique entries in the parent keys storage and all unique entries in the child keys storage have been visited and by committing the keys of at least one related object as an entry to the hierarchical database. The object evaluation process visits each unvisited object in the parent keys storage and child keys storage by selecting, for the unvisited object, objects in the parent direction that have not already been visited and objects in the child direction that have not already been visited and by inserting the keys of the selected related objects as entries in the parent keys storage or child keys storage. | 06-05-2014 |

20100091788 | CONFIGURATION FOR MESSAGING MULTIPLEXED CHANNEL INSTANCES WITH VARYING CONNECTION SPEEDS - A method, system and article of manufacture are disclosed for selecting a channel instance for connecting a client with a server in a multi-channel instance computer system. In this computer system, when a new channel instance is used for connecting the client with one of the servers, defined channel information is established for the channel instance. The method of this invention comprises the steps of, when a new connection request is made, locking existing channel information; and after said locking, scanning through a list of channel connections for one of the channel instances that is a candidate for said connection request. In response to finding a candidate channel instance, which is in the process of connecting, the connection request is queued against the candidate channel instance. When the candidate channel instance does not complete connecting within a defined or determined time period, a new channel instance is used for the connection request. | 04-15-2010 |

20150040140 | Consuming Ordered Streams of Messages in a Message Oriented Middleware - A mechanism is provided for consuming ordered streams of messages in a message oriented middleware having a single queue. The mechanism provides a first consuming application thread to process a first message, locks the first message when available on the queue to the first application thread and locking all subsequent messages on the queue with the same stream identifier as the first message to the first application thread, and identifies any messages with different stream identifiers currently locked to the first application thread, and making available the further messages to other application threads; delivering the first message. The mechanism also provides a second consuming application thread to process a subsequent message, locks a next unlocked message when available on the queue to the second consuming application, and locks all subsequent messages on the queue with the same stream identifier as the next unlocked message to the second consuming application thread. | 02-05-2015 |

20090077261 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FILE TRANSFER OVER A MESSAGING INFRASTRUCTURE - A method and system for file transfer over a messaging infrastructure are provided. The method includes dividing a file into multiple portions. The method includes generating for a current portion of a file, except for the first portion in a file, a first hash summarizing the state of the file up to, but not including, the current portion and a second hash summarizing the state of the file up to and including the current portion. The method includes sending the first and second hashes with the file portion. The second hash may be used at a target for comparing to a first hash of a subsequent file portion, for example, by recreating the second hash from the current state of the received file on the target. | 03-19-2009 |

20160098856 | USING TILING DEPTH INFORMATION IN HIDDEN SURFACE REMOVAL IN A GRAPHICS PROCESSING SYSTEM - A graphics processing system includes a tiling unit for performing tiling calculations and a hidden surface removal (HSR) unit for performing HSR on fragments of the primitives. Primitive depth information is calculated in the tiling unit and forwarded for use by the HSR unit in performing HSR on the fragments. This takes advantage of the tiling unit having access to the primitive data before the HSR unit performs the HSR on the primitive fragments, to determine some depth information which can simplify the HSR performed by the HSR unit. Therefore, the final values of a depth buffer determined in the tiling unit can be used in the HSR unit to determine that a particular fragment will be subsequently hidden by a fragment of a primitive which is yet to be processed in the HSR unit, such that the particular fragment can be culled. | 04-07-2016 |

20120027278 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR MAPPING REGIONS IN A MODEL OF AN OBJECT COMPRISING AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE FROM ONE IMAGE DATA SET TO IMAGES USED IN A DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for mapping a model of an object comprising an anatomical structure in a planning image and an intervention target region within it to intervention-guiding image data are disclosed. According to one method, an initial medial representation object model (m-rep) of an object comprising an anatomical structure is created based on image data of at least a first instance of the object. A patient-specific m-rep is created by deforming the initial m-rep based on planning image data of at least a second instance of the object, wherein the at least second instance of the object is associated with the patient. An intervention target region within the m-rep is identified in an image registered with the planning image. The patient-specific m-rep is correlated to the intervention-guiding image data of the at least second instance of the object, deformed from the planning image. The intervention target region is transferred to the intervention-guiding image according to the transformation between the m-rep in the planning image and the m-rep in the intervention-guiding image. | 02-02-2012 |
20120278477 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR NETWORK SERVER PERFORMANCE ANOMALY DETECTION - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for network server performance anomaly detection are disclosed. According to one aspect of the subject matter disclosed, a method is disclosed for real-time computation of an endpoint performance measure based on transport and network layer header information. The method includes passively collecting transport and network layer header information from packet traffic in a network. Connections in the network are modeled using an abstract syntax for characterizing a sequence of application-level bidirectional interactions between endpoints of each connection and delays between the interactions. Application-level characteristics of the packet traffic are determined based on the modeled connections. A performance measure of at least one endpoint is computed based on the application-level characteristics and the modeled connections. | 11-01-2012 |
