20100042875 | CAPTURING MACHINE STATE OF UNSTABLE JAVA PROGRAM - Mechanisms and methods for capturing an execution state of a failing program in a computing environment are disclosed. Embodiments can enable detection of user initiated program terminations and error information capture without incurring the overhead of a separate monitoring process. It is possible to obtain an execution trace and related state information in the event that a program has incurred a program error causing the user to terminate the program. | 02-18-2010 |

20120185399 | AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR WARRANTY AND RECALL TRACKING - Methods for notifying customers of vehicle recall notices are disclosed, including a passive method where vehicles brought to a service station are processed, and an active method where mailings are generated to vehicle owners. Based upon the provided vehicle identification number in a repair order or in a customer list, a manufacturer recall database is queried with a recall campaign retrieval request. Vehicle recall notices are transmitted and received in response, with some vehicles being subject to outstanding recall campaigns identified therein. One or more corrective maintenance services are associated with the vehicle recall notices. An alert notification or the mailings to the customers including the recall notification are generated. | 07-19-2012 |

20150371693 | CODEC TO REDUCE SIMULTANEOUSLY SWITCHING OUTPUTS - Embodiments of an apparatus and method for encoding data are disclosed that may allow for reduced simultaneous switching output noise. The apparatus may include a row decode circuit, a column decode circuit, and a memory array. The row decode circuit and column decode circuits may be configured to decode a first portion and a second portion, respectively, of a given data word of a first plurality of data words, where each data word may include N data bits, and where N is an integer greater than one. The memory array may be configured to store a second plurality of data words where each data word may include M data bits, and where M is an integer greater than N. The memory array may be further configured to retrieve a given data word of the second plurality of data words dependent upon the decoded first and second portions. | 12-24-2015 |

20160134262 | LOW-NOISE ARRANGEMENT FOR VERY-LARGE-SCALE INTEGRATION DIFFERENTIAL INPUT/OUTPUT STRUCTURES - Embodiments of the invention provide low-noise arrangements for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) differential input/output (I/O) structures (I/O pins, solder bumps, vias, etc.). Novel geometries are described for arranging differential pairs of I/O structures in perpendicular or near-perpendicular “quads.” The geometries effectively place one differential pair on or near the perpendicular bisector of its adjacent differential pair, such that field cancellation and differential reception can substantially eliminate noise without the need for added spacing or shields. By exploiting these effects, embodiments can suppress noise, independent of I/O structure spacing, and arbitrarily small spacings are permitted. Such arrangements can be extended into running chains, and even further into arrays of parallel chains. The parallel chains can be separated by supply structures (e.g., power supply bumps, or the like), and such supply structures can supply power to the I/O circuits of the IC, while also shielding adjacent chains from each other. | 05-12-2016 |

20100030803 | METHOD FOR GENERATING BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE - A method for generating business intelligence comprising the steps of creating a database, contributing data into the database via a computer, assigning numeric values to the data via the computer and calculating scores from the data. The data is selected from agenda, statements, subject types and attributes. The agendum is an objective. The statements support the agendum. The subject types comprise a category of a person, place or object. The attributes describe the subject types and may comprise attribute value descriptions and attribute value inputs. All the data is inputted into a software program, and the software program is utilized to calculate a holistic agendum score or a normalized agendum score. The holistic agendum score is a numerical indicator of the agendum based on holistic calculations and the normalized agendum score is a numerical indicator of the agendum based on zero-based cross normalization calculations. | 02-04-2010 |
20110093420 | COMPUTER-PROCESSING SYSTEM SCORING SUBJECTS RELATIVE TO POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL (PESTLE) FACTORS, UTILIZING INPUT DATA AND A COLLABORATION PROCESS, TRANSFORMING A MEASUREMENT VALUATION SYSTEM REGARDING THE VALUE OF SUBJECTS AGAINST AN AGENDA - A method for computing a universal sustainability index comprising the steps of creating a network, inviting participants to join the network, gathering participant data, imputing contributed data by the participants and transforming the contributed data via a computer to obtain a universal sustainability index or alphanumeric indicator. Participant data is gathered utilizing surveys, tests, questionnaires. Contributed data is imputed from participants and comprises attributes, sub-attributes, statements, sub-statements, subjects, raw values, range bottoms, range tops, percent weights, polarity, third party data, and the like. The contributed data is then transformed to obtain a universal sustainability index or alphanumeric indicator, wherein the universal sustainability score or collection of scores comprises an indicator, and wherein the indicator is a numerical value of a selected subject, or comprises an index wherein the index is a numerical value of a selected agenda or sub-agenda. | 04-21-2011 |

20100185601 | TECHNIQUES FOR DATABASE RULE ORDERING AND PROCESSING - Techniques for database rule ordering and processing are provided. Structured Query Language (SQL) statements are iterated to identify processing dependencies and a processing order is generated. The SQL statements are automatically modified to enforce the processing order and the modified SQL statements are executed against a database. | 07-22-2010 |
20100185602 | TECHNIQUES FOR USING DATABASE METRIC RESULTS - Techniques for using database metric results are provided. Structure Query Language (SQL) statements are parsed for multiple metric calculations. Each metric calculation is dynamically processed against a database to obtain combined results. The combined results are fed to remaining portions of the SQL statements as a source for or a driver to the remaining portions of the SQL statements. | 07-22-2010 |
20100185603 | TECHNIQUES FOR USING DATABASE RULE RESULTS - Techniques for using database rule results are provided. Structure Query Language (SQL) statements are parsed for multiple metric calculations. Multiple rules are parsed and evaluated within the SQL statements to produce results. The results are used by other portions of the SQL statements as a source or a driver for those other portions of the SQL statements. | 07-22-2010 |
20100314441 | TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING FRAUD INFORMATION - Techniques are presented for managing fraud information. Metadata defines user profiles, security levels, fraud cases, and presentation information. One or more queries or reports are processed against disparate data store tables and the results are aggregated into a repository. The repository is also defined by the metadata. Furthermore, operations associated with sharing, viewing, and accessing the results from the repository is defined and controlled by the metadata. In an embodiment, portions of the metadata may be viewed and navigated in a hierarchical and graphical formatted presentation. | 12-16-2010 |

20150114471 | Valve Lock - An improvement for a valve of a type having a stem assembly, a rigid bonnet, and a valve base comprised of a lock cavity formed in the bonnet and adapted to receive a lock mechanism therein, the lock mechanism including a locking pin that is positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position. At least one notch or aperture is formed in the stem assembly and is adapted to receive the locking pin of the lock mechanism when in the locked position. In one embodiment, a bonnet sleeve projects away from the lock cavity and is adapted to receive a locking clasp used with auxiliary padlocks. In another embodiment, the improvement is added to an existing valve as a retrofit product by replacing or modifying the bonnet and stem assembly. In another embodiment, the improvement is built into the valve during manufacturing and delivered as a complete solution. | 04-30-2015 |
