20080270624NORMALIZATION OF BINARY DATA - The transformation of data between binary data and hierarchical data, such as might be processed by an Infoset Processor. When data is received from a network in binary format, the transformation module transforms the binary data into a hierarchical data representation of the binary data, and then provides the transformed data to message processors (e.g., Infoset processors) that understand the hierarchical schema. The transformation module may also transform hierarchical data into binary data for transmission on a network.10-30-2008
20090187920Configurable Message Pipelines - In accordance with certain aspects of configurable message pipelines, a service allows one or more applications running on a system to communicate with one or more other systems. The service includes a port having a send pipeline to allow the one or more applications to send messages to the one or more other systems and/or a receive pipeline to allow the one or more applications to receive messages from the one or more other systems. Each of the send pipeline and the receive pipeline is configurable by the one or more applications to include functionality desired by the one or more applications.07-23-2009
20090327861EFFICIENT, NON-BLOCKING MECHANISM FOR INCREMENTALLY PROCESSING ARBITRARY SIZED XML DOCUMENTS - Reader and writer XML processing APIs may process XML documents without blocking a thread by initiating any potential I/O necessary prior to reading from or writing to the XML processing API and by providing a callback which may be notified when the I/O, if any, is complete. The XML processing API may be able to simultaneously process multiple XML documents in various formats and sizes.12-31-2009
20090327994METADATA DRIVEN API DEVELOPMENT - The described method and system synchronizes source code with byproducts or artifacts of an application creation process. In one embodiment, a generation tool may be used to produce source code header files based on a design specification, where the source code header files are compiled with a current version of source code. Compilation errors may direct a developer to modify either the specification or the source code to eliminate the errors. The described method and system may be integrated into a development platform that is adapted to direct the user to perform particular revisions or updates to bring the source code in line with the artifacts.12-31-2009
20110264702CONVERSION OF HIERARCHICAL INFOSET TYPE DATA TO BINARY DATA - Encoding and/or decoding of messages. On the encoding end, a composite encoder encodes message from an internal format that is used by internal system components into an external format. However, the composite encoder may encode the outgoing messages into different external formats on a per-message basis. For incoming message, a composite decoder decodes incoming messages from any one of a plurality of external formats into the internal format also on a per-message basis. A per-message report mechanism permits internal system components and the encoding/decoding components to communicate information regarding the encoding or decoding on a per message basis. XML messages can be converted automatically into Binary messages.10-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110159308IMPROVED BARRIER LAYER - Disclosed herein is a barrier layer comprising a polyvinyl amine-polyvinyl alcohol copolymer applied to a substrate as a water-soluble composition, wherein the polyvinyl amine-polyvinyl alcohol copolymer is formed by copolymerizing: (a) from 99 to 1 mol % of N-vinylformamide and (b) from 1 to 99 mol % of one or more vinyl Ci-Ci0 alkyl esters, and then hydrolyzing from 30 to 100 mol % of the formyl groups from the copolymerized units (a) to form amino groups and from 30 to 100 mol % of the Cj-Cio alkyl ester groups from the copolymerized units (b) to form hydroxyl groups, wherein the copolymer has a unimodal compositional distribution as evidenced by essentially one peak in a gel permeation gradient elution chromatographic analysis. A method of producing a barrier layer is also disclosed.06-30-2011

20110276716METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND REDIRECTING HTTP REQUESTS AWAY FROM UNINTENDED WEB SITES - Embodiments are described for a system and method for redirecting Internet traffic away from illegitimate web sites. A redirect process includes a typo identifier engine and a direct navigation engine. The typo identifier engine generates a list of domain names based on common typographical variations of legitimate brand domains, and common direct navigation domains. A web crawler process verifies if the generated domain name are registered. The sites are classified as either legitimate or illegitimate based on a series of defined rules and analysis of parameters, such as site content, registrar identity, and owner. The direct navigation engine compares the user's request with the list of known illegitimate domains found by the typo identifier engine. If a match is found, the system replaces the user requested domain name with a redirected domain name.11-10-2011
