20080281848Method to share and exchange geographic based information - A simplified approach to sharing and exchanging geographic-based information containing the maps and corresponding data and metadata was developed to enable easy sharing of information for decision support tools. Current Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technologies are limited in their ability to share maps and data in the exact format that the user created the information. This technology shares the corresponding data with the map information (not just a ‘picture’ of the data—e.g., a static map) in the exact form that the user wants to provide to other users of the software application. The technology and use of this software application provides the unique ability for users to share the information directly with other users of the software, eliminating process and setup of importing new information into the spatial decision-support software. Users can then utilize the information to explore the map and database information, to add their own data, and to make further decisions, enabling them to modify and change the information and exchange the information with others in the same manner.11-13-2008

Each diagonal parity set (i.e., diagonal) is associated with a slope that defines the data and row parity blocks of the array that are included in the diagonal. All diagonals having a common slope within a parity group are organized as a diagonal parity class. For each diagonal parity class, a diagonal parity storage disk is provided to store the diagonal parity.01-13-2011

The agent may also identify a plurality of locations and a plurality of changed three dimensional graphics commands at those locations.07-30-2009
20090189893METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPUTING A HASH FROM A THREE DIMENSIONAL DATA SET LOADED INTO A RESOURCE - Methods and system for computing a hash from a three dimensional data set loaded into a three dimensional resource, these methods and systems first determining that an application, executing in a distributed computing environment, locked a three dimensional resource. A identification of a first three dimensional data set loaded into the three dimensional resource by the application is then made. The first three dimensional data set can have a size that is determined in part by a transaction carried out by the application. The performance of an operation on the three dimensional resource by the application is then detected, a first hash is computed on the loaded first set of three dimensional data using a hash function, and the first hash is stored in a repository. Prior to computing the first hash, a portion of the first three dimensional data set can be eliminated, where the portion of the three dimensional data set results from a repetitious transaction.07-30-2009
20090189894METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING A REMOTING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHERE TO RENDER THREE DIMENSIONAL DATA - Methods and systems for rendering three dimensional graphical data by intercepting a three dimensional graphics stream comprising three dimensional graphics commands generated by an application executing on a first computing machine, and then analyzing the characteristics associated with a remoting system to determine a location for rendering three dimensional data from the three dimensional graphics commands. The remoting system may comprise at least the first computing machine having a graphics rendering component, a second computing machine having a graphics rendering component and a network. Based on the analysis, a rendering location is determined and the application is induced to reinitialize a context for determining where to render three dimensional data. The three dimensional data is then rendered from the three dimensional graphics commands at the rendering location.07-30-2009
