| 20120103603 | Gravel Pack Inner String Hydraulic Locating Device - A downhole assembly, such as a toe-to-heel gravel pack assembly, has a body with a body passage, outlet ports for slurry, and screens for fluid returns. An inner string deploys in the body to perform the toe-to-heel gravel packing. A telescoping adjustment device allows the inner string to space out properly when deployed to the toe of the assembly. Sealing surfaces of a locating device in the body separate a sealable space and seal against seals on the inner string movably disposed therein. Fluid pumped in the string produces a pressure buildup when the string's port communicates with the sealable space. The pressure buildup indicates that the tool is positioned at a first location in the assembly, and other positions for placement of the tool can then be calculated therefrom. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120103608 | Gravel Pack Bypass Assembly - A gravel pack operation disposes slurry from an inner string into the annulus around a shoe track. A valve on the shoe track can open and close flow through a port, and seats around the port allow an outlet of the tool to seal with the port. When the valve is open and the outlet sealed with the port, the slurry in the string is pumped into the borehole around the shoe track by flowing the slurry from the outlet into the borehole through the flow port. As this occurs, gravel collects around the shoe track, and fluid returns in the borehole flow back into the shoe track through a screen disposed toward the track's toe. Once inside the shoe track, the fluid returns communicate through a bypass on the shoe track around the sealed outlet and port. At this point, the fluid returns can pass uphole in the gravel pack assembly. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20080235196 | Confidential Content Search Engine - A security compliance search engine is provided for searching one or more client computing devices for items of information that meet a security criteria identifying items of information containing confidential content. Results of the search are provided to an analysis engine for determining if the items of information identified by the search are being maintained in accordance with a security policy for ensuring the confidentiality of the confidential content. Results of the analysis may be used to generate a report or log and to generate a notification to the client computing device identifying any violations of the security policy and possible solutions for bringing the item of information into compliance with the security policy. In addition, an administrator may be notified of any violations so that corrective action may be taken. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080235760 | Confidential Content Reporting System and Method with Electronic Mail Verification Functionality - A confidential content reporting system and method with electronic mail verification functionality are provided. With the system and method, a security compliance search engine is provided for searching items of information to identify items containing confidential content and security violations with regard to this confidential content. Results of the search may be reported to a user via a graphical user interface (GUI) that identifies the item of information, the security violations detected, and suggested corrective actions, such as encryption. A user may interact with the GUI to apply security mechanisms in accordance with the suggested corrective actions. Moreover, the searching and reporting mechanism may be used to search electronic mail messages and their attachments prior to distribution of the electronic mail messages. Automatic modification of the electronic mail message to modify distribution lists and/or content of the electronic mail message may be performed using the mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080273711 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INTEGRATING WIRELESS TELEPHONES IN VEHICLES - A system, apparatus and method of integrating a wireless telephone in a vehicle are provided. The system, apparatus and method consist of installing a parabolic speaker in the vehicle that has a focused listening area at a location where an operator of the vehicle may he situated. The parabolic speaker may further have an integrated microphone. When a wireless telephone is placed in a cradle, that may be available in the vehicle for receiving the telephone, the telephone will be integrated in the vehicle. Consequently, the telephone will interact with the vehicle's on-board computer (OBC). The OBC may then route all in-coming signals from the wireless telephone to the parabolic speaker. Further, the OBC may route all out-going signals from the integrated microphone to the wireless telephone. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090015598 | Technique for Determining a Minimum Size of Presentation Data - A presentation authoring tool is used to create presentation data for later projection, to determine a recommended font size for the created presentation data displayed on a display screen of a computer executing the presentation authoring tool. The user interface presents a display screen for receiving input of an expected viewing distance for the later projection of the presentation. The recommended font is determined based upon the expected viewing distance of the later projection having a projected font size viewable by a person, having a certain vision capability, at the expected viewing distance. The expected viewing distance may be a maximum viewing distance or a room depth of a room in which the later projection takes place. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090083769 | COMMUNICATING WITH REMOTE OBJECTS IN A DATA PROCESSING NETWORK - A method and computer program product for invoking remote objects in a data processing system includes generating a serialized byte stream containing the remote object and its arguments, responsive to executing a remote object call. The serialized byte stream is sent to a server containing the object. Responsive to receiving a second serialized byte stream containing a result produced by the remote object and determining the presence of a second remote object, in the second byte stream, for which no reference can be found, using information contained in second serialized byte stream to determine the class type of the second remote object. A proxy compatible with the second remote object's class type, if not already existing, is automatically generated and compiled on the client or, if the proxy does exist, is loaded at run time to call the second remote object. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090193414 | Method and System for a Grid-Enabled Virtual Machine with Movable Objects - A method, an apparatus, a computer program product, and a data processing system provide for operation of a virtual machine with embedded functionality for interoperating with other virtual machines in a computational grid. A plurality of virtual machines are run on one or more devices within a data processing system; each virtual machine in the plurality of virtual machines incorporates functionality for interoperating and associating with other virtual machines in a virtual machine cluster in a grid-like manner. Each virtual machine in the virtual machine cluster acts as a node within the virtual machine cluster. A virtual machine manages its objects in association with an object group, and each virtual machine may manage multiple object groups. The virtual machines share information such that the object groups can be moved between virtual machines in the virtual machine cluster, thereby allowing the virtual machine cluster to act as one logical virtual machine. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100293537 | System and Method for Enabling Parallel Websphere Runtime Versions - A computer implemented method, a tangible storage medium, and a data processing system build a runtime environment of a system. A profile manager receives a service request containing a profile identifier. The profile identifier specifies a required version of at least one software component. The profile manager identifies a complete installation of the software component, and at least one delta file. The profile manager dynamically constructs a classpath for the required version by preferentially utilizing files from the at least one delta file followed by files from the complete installation. The runtime environment is then built utilizing the classpath. | 11-18-2010 |
