20080261440Power supply devices with illuminated receptacles - The present invention provides power supply devices having illuminated receptacles. Some or all of the receptacles are encircled or otherwise circumscribed by a lighting member. The lighting member may be a continuous strip of material, such as an electroluminescent laminate. The lighting member may illuminate the receptacles regardless of whether the receptacles themselves are currently powered. Thus, although the power supply device is in a no or low light environment, or when the device is plugged in but is turned off, a user may easily identify where the receptacles are, which ones are available, and which equipment is plugged into which receptacles. The lighting member may be color coded according to a surge protection rating for the power supply device. In this case, the user can immediately identify which power supply devices have a given surge protection, and can therefore distinguish among different power supply devices having similar physical configurations.10-23-2008

20090064182Systems and/or methods for providing feature-rich proprietary and standards-based triggers via a trigger subsystem - The example embodiments disclosed herein relate to application integration techniques and, more particularly, to application integration techniques built around the publish-and-subscribe model (or one of its variants). In certain example embodiments, triggers are provided for establishing subscriptions to publishable document types and for specifying the services that will process documents received by the subscription. A standards-based messaging protocol (e.g., JMS messaging) may be fully embedded as a peer to a proprietary messaging protocol provided to an integration server's trigger subsystem so that all or substantially all of the feature-rich capabilities available via the proprietary protocol may also become available via the standards-based messaging protocol. The triggers may be JMS triggers in certain example embodiments.03-05-2009
20090064307Systems and/or methods for streaming reverse HTTP gateway, and network including the same - In certain example embodiments of this invention, there is provided systems and/or methods for a streaming reverse HTTP gateway, and/or networks including the same. In such a network, a reverse HTTP gateway is located within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) disposed between public (or external) and private (or internal) networks for providing security therebetween. Requests from external clients may be streamed from the external network to the internal network over various connections and ports, including a substantially persistent reverse connection between an internal server and a reverse HTTP gateway. The reverse HTTP gateway architecture of certain example embodiments removes the need for proprietary protocols implemented between the reverse HTTP gateway located in the DMZ and the internal server located in the internal network. In certain example embodiments, the reverse HTTP gateway architecture is configured to leverage the capabilities of HTTP 1.1.03-05-2009
20100251262Systems and/or methods for standards-based messaging - The example embodiments disclosed herein relate to application integration techniques built around the publish-and-subscribe model (or one of its variants). In certain example embodiments, a first standards-based messaging protocol (e.g., the JMS messaging protocol) may be used to create a trigger so that a message envelope according to a second standards-based messaging protocol (e.g., SOAP) may be communicated over the first standards-based messaging transport layer. In other words, in certain example embodiments, a trigger according to a first protocol (e.g., JMS) may have a message according to a second protocol (e.g., SOAP) associated therewith so as to enable the message to be communicated over the first protocol's transport layer. The trigger may be configured to receive a message from a web service consumer via the JMS messaging protocol and pass it to the web service stack for dispatch to the web service provider. Similarly, for a request-reply web service exchange pattern, the trigger may be configured to send the reply message from the web service provider, as returned by the web service layer, to the web service consumer via the JMS messaging protocol.09-30-2010

A method for allowing players or viewers to view the action, from great books or films, from all angles and interact with it is proposed. Commercial, artistic, educational, actor-training, and other exalted opportunities will abound as soulful machinima and worlds based upon the classics are realized, beginning with machinima loyal to epic stories, and allowing a spectrum of player interactions, where the player's ideas and actions have varying consequences.03-11-2010
20100063873Method for providing creator-centric region on displays, devices, and social networks where content owners can define rights and creating a novel rights and content repositor - Many tools exist for creating applications for social networks, phones, and other entities, and this invention affords owners full control of their content in a common, trusted window in foreign contexts, as provided for in the US Constitution. Content owners are afforded a window/region in arenas including web pages, social networks, handhelds, and phones, wherein they can protect and profit from content. Social networks are generally socialist networks wherein creators are deemed to have no value as individuals, but when aggregated with millions of others, they are monetized by corporations. This negative mindset has fostered unprofitable social networks which deny owners their Natural Rights to protect and profit from their creations. Disclosed is a novel method for creating a content market-space built upon universal windows/regions which support creators' rights, which fosters a superior social network for content owners, and an invaluable database and repository of rights and content.03-11-2010
