| 20120137278 | GENERATING A CUSTOMIZED SET OF TASKS FOR MIGRATION OF A DEPLOYED SOFTWARE SOLUTION - A migration set list generator specifies a physical topology of a deployed software solution, wherein the software solution comprises a plurality of software components and data associated with said plurality of software components integrated into a single entity. The migration set list generator specifies at least one solution change to the deployed software solution to meet at least one business requirement and specifies at least one migration strategy for migrating the deployed software solution, wherein the at least one migration strategy comprises at least one of a product level strategy specified for a particular software component of the plurality of software components and at least one solution level strategy specified for the plurality of software components, wherein the product level strategy overrides the solution level strategy for the particular software component. The migration set list generator generates a plurality of migration tasks for making the at least one solution change to the deployed software solution specified in the physical topology based on the at least one migration strategy and generates a recommended physical topology yielded for the software solution if the physical topology is updated according to the plurality of migration tasks. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20080282605 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING BIODIESEL FUEL - The addition of strong neutralizing amines to react with free fatty acid in biodiesel fuels that may be left from some synthesis routes can lower the total acid number (TAN) of the biodiesel fuel. Surprisingly, the strong neutralizing amines do not interfere with the biodiesel fuel itself which may be primarily fatty acid methyl esters. These strong neutralizing amines may also improve the oxidative stability of biodiesel fuels. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20090006493 | Method For Enabling Traceability And Recovery From Errors During Migration Of Software Applications - A method (which can be computer implemented) for addressing errors during migration of software applications includes the step of obtaining access to a data repository, which includes a listing of migration decisions and a listing of dependencies associated with the migration decisions. The method further includes the steps of obtaining an indication of a migration error, tracing the migration error to at least a first one of the migration decisions in the data repository, and employing the listing of dependencies to identify at least a second one of the migration decisions, depending on the at least first one of the migration decisions identified in the tracing step, which is impacted by the migration error. Techniques for populating the data repository are also provided. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090049438 | Method for Optimizing Migration of Software Applications to Address Needs - An exemplary method (which can be computer implemented) for enhancing migration of software applications from a source system environment to a destination system environment includes the steps of translating needs into requirements for the destination system, capturing deployment and configuration of the software applications in the source system environment and the destination system environment in a centralized model, analyzing dependencies between the systems in the source and destination systems to construct a mapping between the requirements and elements of the model, and generating enhanced migration rules, based, at least in part, on the mapping. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20110123364 | DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR OVERBOARD PUMP - A deployment system is utilized to deploy an overboard pump over the side of an offshore rig or vessel. A reel of hose with an overboard pump is securable to an end of the reel of hose. A bend restrictor supports the hose as the hose bends downwardly for deployment in water. The bend restrictor is mounted for movement with respect to the reel whereby the bend restrictor is movable away from the reel, preferably along a fixed and predetermined path, to a deployment position to permit the overboard pump and the hose to be deployed into the water over the side of the offshore rig. The bend restrictor is also movable to a non-deployed position such that the hose guide is above the rig floor where the pump may be serviced. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20090009024 | ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY DEVICE AND METHOD - An apparatus and method are shown for improving the efficiency of motors, generators and machines by using a closed ferromagnetic frame upon which is mounted a plurality of solenoid coils. Two of the solenoid coils are wired together so that they act as one in a closed wiring circuit. An associated armature assembly includes a carousel which carries additional solenoid coils and is rotated through an opening provided in an extension to the closed frame. The individual solenoid coils located on the carousel supply power to the two original solenoid coils on the ferromagnetic frame giving the basic circulation system amplification each time a solenoid enters the electric/magnetic field created by the frame uprights. | 01-08-2009 |
