| 20100241760 | Web Front-End Throttling - A server computer includes a performance monitor module and a throttling logic module. The performance monitor module includes performance monitors that monitor system parameters of the server computer. The throttling logic module determines whether a system parameter monitored by a performance monitor exceeds a predetermined threshold. When a system parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold, the throttling logic module sets a throttling flag. The throttling logic module activates throttling at the server computer when at least one throttling flag is set for each of a predetermined number of time snapshots. The activation of throttling limits the processing of request messages received by the server computer. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20080317026 | Method of Doing Business Over a Network by Transmission and Retransmission of Digital Information on a Network During Time Slots - The present invention is a method of doing business over a network that: receives a request for transmitting digital information after a start time and before an end time, determines the time required to transmit the digital information based on the number of packets in the information and the network speed, schedules a transmit time for the digital information, and accepts the digital information for transmission only if the time required to transmit is less than or equal to the difference between the transmit time and the end time. Pricing of the transmission can be determined by the priority of transmission, whether the information is transmitted the first time or rescheduled, and whether the user receives an acknowledgment. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20120109790 | INTEGRATION OF APPLICATIONS WITH A FINANCIAL CLOSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and financial close management system are provided that includes a integration framework that allows an end user to leverage services or interfaces from external applications as part of a business process, such as a financial close process, of a financial close management system. The integration framework can integrate a task that requires the user to interact with a user interface of an external application (identified as an “end user task”) with the financial close management system. The integration framework can also integrate a task that runs without any user interaction required, and that interacts with a web service of an external application (identified as a “system automated task”) with the financial close management system. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120109801 | Managing Schedules In a Financial Close Management System - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and financial close management system are provided that manage a schedule. A schedule is a core object of the financial close management system, and is an expression of a template. Managing a schedule can include creating a new schedule, modifying an existing schedule, deleting an existing schedule, duplicating an existing schedule, validating an existing schedule, creating a template from an existing schedule, setting a status of an existing schedule, and importing and exporting an existing schedule. In addition, managing a schedule can include defining task type parameters that can be set during scheduling and setting task parameters of a schedule at a schedule level rather than a task level. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120109984 | Filtering of Custom Attributes of Computer Objects for Display - A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and system are provided for filtering of custom attributes. A custom attribute is an attribute of an object defined by a user. Once a user has defined one or more custom attributes, the user can filter a set of objects based on a criteria that includes a value for one or more custom attributes. The filtering can be dynamic so that when the set of objects is modified (such as creating a new object, deleting an existing object, or modifying an existing object), the filter is automatically updated. Furthermore, a filtering criteria can be based on the set of objects present in the system, so that any filter that is defined returns at least one object. In addition, once a filter is applied, any additional filter applied to the original filter can have a filtering criteria based on the subset of objects returned by the original filter. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20090149112 | Radio-controlled toy skateboard - A radio-controlled toy skateboard comprises a deck and front and rear trucks. The individual wheels of the rear truck can be controlled separately responsive to radio signals from a remote transmitter for rotation in either direction, while the front wheels rotate freely. Also responsive to radio control signals, the rear truck is controllably pivoted with respect to the deck about a kingpin axis that is inclined rearwardly, while the front truck pivots freely about a forwardly inclined kingpin axis. When the rear truck is thus pivoted, the deck tilts about its longitudinal centerline, causing the front truck to pivot correspondingly, steering the skateboard. A pair of modeled shoes are mounted for free pivoting about pivot axes. As the board tilts toward one side or the other, the shoes pivot from a toes-in to a toes-out position, mimicing the foot movements of a live “skater”. The forward shoe is mounted on a trolley sliding freely on an inclined ramp. When the board rests on a horizontal surface, the trolley slides forward, so that the forward shoe moves toward the forward end of the board; if the front end of the board is tilted upwardly, as in a “wheelie” manuever, the forward shoe slides rearwardly, as would that of a skater doing such a trick. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090203292 | Wall racer toy vehicles - A motorized toy vehicle or Wall Racer that is capable of operating on vertical and inverted horizontal surfaces such as walls and ceilings, while being manufacturable at reasonable cost and operable on batteries having sufficient lifetime as to be enjoyable. One or more battery-powered fans draw air from around all or defined portions of the periphery of the chassis of the Wall Racer through a carefully-shaped duct, so that the air in the portion of the duct immediately adjacent the surface flows at high velocity and low pressure; the relatively greater pressure of the surrounding air urges the vehicle against the surface, allowing it to operate on vertical surfaces, such as walls, or inverted on horizontal surfaces, such as ceilings. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20110234395 | TWO-AXIS INCLINOMETER HEAD OF BED ELEVATION ALARM AND METHOD OF OPERATION - An apparatus used for reducing the incidence of aspiration in patients using a two-axis inclinometer is disclosed. The apparatus uses a two-axis inclinometer that is attached in the region of the patient's upper body to measure the absolute angular elevation of the patient's upper body, which is then transmitted to a display or other output device. In one embodiment, the instrument can be mounted to the head of a bed in a plurality of orientations and accurately measure the absolute angular elevation of the patient's upper body. In other embodiments the absolute angular elevation of the patient's upper body information is processed and transmitted to the nurses' station or to a data recorder. The disclosure also relates to a method for measuring the physical orientation of a patient, using such two-axis inclinometer apparatus. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20090261415 | FULLY-DEPLETED LOW-BODY DOPING FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET) WITH REVERSE SHORT CHANNEL EFFECTS (SCE) INDUCED BY SELF-ALIGNED EDGE BACK-GATE(S) - Disclosed are embodiments of a field effect transistor (FET) and, more particularly, a fully-depleted, thin-body (FDTB) FET that allows for scaling with minimal short channel effects, such as drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and saturation threshold voltage (Vtsat) roll-off, at shorter channel lengths. The FDTB FET embodiments are configured with either an edge back-gate or split back-gate that can be biased in order to selectively adjust the potential barrier between the source/drain regions and the channel region for minimizing off-state leakage current between the drain region and the source region and/or for varying threshold voltage. These unique back-gate structures avoid the need for halo doping to ensure linear threshold voltage (Vtlin) roll-up at smaller channel lengths and, thus, avoid across-chip threshold voltage variations due to random doping fluctuations. Also disclosed are method embodiments for forming such FETs. | 10-22-2009 |
