| 20080235168 | POLICY-BASED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC POLICY SELECTION AND CREATION CAPABILITIES BY USING SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION TECHNIQUE - A statistical approach implementing Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to a policy-based management system for autonomic and on-demand computing applications. The statistical approach empowers a class of applications that require policies to handle ambiguous conditions and allow the system to “evolve” in response to changing operation and environment conditions. In the system and method providing the statistical approach, observed event-policy associated data, which is represented by an event-policy matrix, is treated as a statistical problem with the assumption that there are some underlying or implicit higher order correlations among events and policies. The SVD approach enables such correlations to be modeled, extracted and modified. From these correlations, recommended policies can be selected or created without exact match of policy conditions. With a feedback mechanism, new knowledge can be acquired as new situations occur and the corresponding policies to manage them are recorded and used to generate new event and policy correlations. Consequently, based on these new correlations, new recommended policies can be derived. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090222396 | ADAPTIVE MULTI-LEVELS DICTIONARIES AND SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION TECHNIQUES FOR AUTONOMIC PROBLEM DETERMINATION - A system and method for autonomic problem determination. Events and problems associated with the events are received from a computing resource and are expressed as entries in an event-problem matrix. Expert knowledge is expressed as entries in one or more multi-level structure dictionaries. The system and method enables dynamic interaction between the events in the matrix and the current dictionaries with its entries being updated continuously to maximize correlation among the events and problems. The index of each term in the dictionary is used to calculate the weight of each event in the matrix wherein events having frequent association with a specific problem will be given a higher weight in the matrix. Using singular value decomposition (SVD), the weighted events enable an accelerated and accurate convergence to a set of specific associated problems. Feedback, responsive to the output of the problem determination, is provided to trigger the recalculation of the index of each associated term in the dictionaries, resulting in gradual evolution of the dictionaries to accumulate expert knowledge. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20080262983 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING AND INTERACTING WITH HIERARCHICAL INFORMATION AND TIME VARYING RULE PRIORITY - A graphical interaction and authoring system is provided that combines textual and graphical information to display hierarchical information via an interactive visual mechanism for the composition and manipulation of syntactic structures, enabling business users to view, operate, and compose information in a way that not only graphically preserves the structure of the syntax, but also maintains the relationship of the expression. The system provides a way for the users to interact with it dynamically and effectively. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090307747 | System To Establish Trust Between Policy Systems And Users - A system and method are provided to establish trust between a user and a policy system that generates recommended actions in accordance with specified policies. Trust is introduced into the policy-based system by assigning a value to each execution of each policy with respect to the policy-based system, called the instantaneous trust index. The instantaneous trust indices for each one of the policies, for the each execution of a given policy or for both are combined into the overall trust index for a given policy or for a given policy-based system. The recommended actions are processed in accordance with the level or trust associated with a given policy as expressed by the trust indices. Manual user input is provided to monitor or change the recommended actions. In addition, reinforcement learning algorithms are used to further enhance the level of trust between the user and the policy-based system. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090139883 | LIQUID NUTRITION PRODUCT DISPENSER WITH PLURAL PRODUCT CHAMBERS FOR SEPARATE STORAGE AND INTERMIXING PRIOR TO USE, AND RELATED METHOD - A container including a body defining an outflow opening and at least one chamber adapted for storing a product, such as a fat containing liquid product, and a container closure including a primary seal for hermetically sealing the product within the chamber during storage. The container closure includes a sealing member forming a substantially fluid-tight seal between the container closure and the body, and a dispensing member in fluid communication with the chamber. The container closure and body move relative to each other between a first position where the primary seal is seated about the outflow port to hermetically seal the product in the chamber during storage, and a second position where the primary seal is displaced from the outflow port to allow product to pass from the chamber through the outflow port and into dispensing member to dispense the product. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090139949 | READY TO FEED CONTAINER WITH DRINKING DISPENSER AND SEALING MEMBER, AND RELATED METHOD - A container including a body defining an outflow opening and at least one chamber adapted for storing a product, such as a fat containing liquid product, and a container closure including a primary seal for hermetically sealing the product within the chamber during storage. The container closure includes a sealing member forming a substantially fluid-tight seal between the container closure and the body, and a dispensing member in fluid communication with the chamber. The container closure and body move relative to each other between a first position where the primary seal is seated about the outflow port to hermetically seal the product in the chamber during storage, and a second position where the primary seal is displaced from the outflow port to allow product to pass from the chamber through the outflow port and into dispensing member to dispense the product. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20090097703 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING IMAGES MOVING AT HIGH SPEED - An image of a moving object, such as a postage indicium barcode on a mail piece, is captured with the object in motion (e.g., while being transported through a mailing machine). An array of CMOS picture elements is held in a reset condition. A signal asserted on control pin ends the reset condition and places the picture elements in an image capture condition. With the picture elements in a picture capture condition, a strobe light is actuated at a time when the barcode is predicted to be present at the picture element array. After the strobe light has been actuated, the signal on the control pin is de-asserted to initiate a read-out of the image data from the picture elements. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100157376 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING EDGE SHARPNESS IN COLOR PRINTED IMAGES - A device and method for enhancing edge sharpness and clarity of solid graphic shapes included in printed color images printed on low dot-per-inch color printers is presented. The improved printing is achieved by creating an additional image file, called a white file, which defines the solid graphic areas to be included in the printed image. This white file is combined with the data points in separate color image files to “cookie-cut” the alphanumeric characters and other solid shapes from the separate color image files created by the ripping process, leaving crisp sharp edges on alphanumeric characters and other solid graphic areas being superimposed on the printed color image. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100165066 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF PRINTING IN EVENT OF PRINT HEAD FAILURE - Systems and methods for providing evidence of printing in metering systems even in the event of a print head failure are provided. Along with generating a primary image for an indicium that evidences payment, a secondary image for the indicium, identical to a corresponding portion of the primary image but at a lower density, with physical boundaries that are within the boundaries of the primary image, is also generated. The primary image is printed by a first nozzle array, and the secondary image is printed by a second nozzle array. Because the primary image completely overlaps the secondary image, the secondary image is undetectable if the primary image is properly printed. The secondary image provides evidence of printing of the indicium that can be used to obtain a refund for the indicium in the event that the primary image was not printed due to failure of the first nozzle array. | 07-01-2010 |
