| 20110225542 | APPLICATION SHARING WITH OCCLUSION REMOVAL - Techniques are disclosed for window sharing with occlusion removal. In an embodiment, the techniques begin with a blank composition image, to which shared windows are added. For each window of a desktop from which at least one window is shared, traversing the windows from greatest z-depth to least z-depth, the window is processed based on whether it is shared and is occluded. Shared windows are copied to the composition image. Where a part of a shared window is occluded and cannot be retrieved, an indication of this occlusion is added to the composition image. When the windows have been processed, the composition image is encoded and sent to a client computer where it is displayed to produce the window sharing between computers. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20110110268 | MODEL-BASED VIRTUAL NETWORKING - Architecture that facilitates the virtual specification of a connection between physical endpoints. A network can be defined as an abstract connectivity model expressed in terms of the connectivity intent, rather than any specific technology. The connectivity model is translated into configuration settings, policies, firewall rules, etc., to implement the connectivity intent based on available physical networks and devices capabilities. The connectivity model defines the connectivity semantics of the network and controls the communication between the physical nodes in the physical network. The resultant virtual network may be a virtual overlay that is independent of the physical layer. Alternatively, the virtual overlay can also include elements and abstracts of the physical network(s). Moreover, automatic network security rules (e.g., Internet Protocol security-IPSec) can be derived from the connectivity model of the network. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20080235675 | Typed intermediate language support for existing compilers - Described is a technology by which a compiler's intermediate representation is generated in a way that includes type checking to ensure safe execution. Typed representation of virtual method invocation uses an exact class name to represent objects of the class but not those of the subclasses, and a combined class type as an encoding of an existential type to represent objects of the class and subclasses of the class. Typed representation of interface method invocation is also provided, as is testing whether the object can be cast to a class, to an interface and/or to a class vector. Vector store checking is also able to be type checked. The medium-level intermediate representation is translated into a low-level intermediate representation, including choosing data representation for types, and converting medium-level intermediate representation operators into instructions in the low-level representation. Using a typed intermediate representation without scopes and determining the scopes of type variables when performing type checking is also described. | 09-25-2008 |

Each of the stack or heap includes a plurality of positions. The method also includes labeling the plurality of positions in one of the stack or the heap as one or more specified positions and one or more unspecified positions. The method further includes assigning a second type to the memory, the second type including the first type of the word. The word is stored in a specified position or an unspecified position. The method additionally includes determining whether the instruction is well-typed by applying one or more rules to the instruction and to the second type. | 11-12-2009 |

The code may include affine types, dependent types and/or refinement types. A derefinement procedure replaces each refinement type with a dependent pair type corresponding to the proof. A target code type checker verifies the target code with respect to the security policies. If verified as complying with security policy, a verified program corresponding to the translated program may then be installed and run. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20100153335 | SYNCHRONIZING MULTIPLE CLASSES WITH DISPARATE SCHEMAS IN THE SAME COLLECTION - The embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system for synchronizing multiple classes with disparate schemas in a single collection through the use of the same synchronization request and/or synchronization key. A collection of different types of items may be synchronized while using the unique schema for each class. Further, different synchronization options, e.g., filtering, truncation, and body settings, may be applied to each class. In a synchronization request, an option block within a synchronization command notifies the server to synchronize the class specified in the option block. The option block may also specify the options, or settings, if any, to apply to the class. Multiple option blocks may be included in the synchronization command to specify the synchronization of multiple classes. Where multiple classes are specified, the server responds with the synchronized items of all such classes while maintaining each class's unique schema. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20110302265 | LEADER ARBITRATION FOR PROVISIONING SERVICES - Single leader provisioning is enabled through a locking mechanism in a directory service environment. A service running in a domain is enabled to take leader role by writing to a shared file maintained at a relative identity (RID) master server. The service taking the leader role is further enabled to extend its role by rewriting to the shared file periodically. Other services may check the file also periodically and remain passive as long as a service has currently the leader role. If the leader service is down and fails to extend its role, another service can take over by writing to the shared file ensuring a single leader in the provisioning service. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20100241608 | Decision Support Systems and Methods for Complex Networks - Methods and systems for automated decision support in analyzing operation data from a complex network. Embodiments of the present invention utilize these algorithms and techniques not only to characterize the past and present condition of a complex network, but also to predict future conditions to help operators anticipate deteriorating and/or problem situations. In particular, embodiments of the present invention characterize network conditions from operation data using a state estimator. Contingency scenarios can then be generated based on those network conditions. For at least a portion of all of the contingency scenarios, risk indices are determined that describe the potential impact of each of those scenarios. Contingency scenarios with risk indices are presented visually as graphical representations in the context of a visual representation of the complex network. Analysis of the historical risk indices based on the graphical representations can then provide trends that allow for prediction of future network conditions. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20120102095 | Templates For Displaying Data - A client device presents a resource to a user. In order to present the resource, the client device generates and renders one or more presentation strings. The client device generates a presentation string by identifying a template module that corresponds to an content resource object in a dataset downloaded by the client device. The client device then performs a template execution operation on the content resource object. The template module corresponding to the content resource object specifies the template execution operation. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120102386 | Customization of Display Templates - A server system enables users to configure user interfaces. A generic presentation string is stored at a data storage system. The generic presentation string is renderable to present an unfilled template that may include one or more slots. A template module is generated from the generic presentation string.
