20110047173	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FILTERING MATCHING CONTENT - A computer-implemented method for managing data in a system for automating responses to system messages is disclosed. The method compiles one or more source files into a database, which includes one or more pattern definitions. Matches and non-matches between one or more pattern definitions and one or more system messages are identified and reported in an output file. The method retrieves only the matches from the output file based on one or more predetermined criteria and generates a printed list of the retrieved matches.	02-24-2011

20110047181	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING COMMONALITY AMONG PATTERN DEFINITIONS - A method and system for identifying commonality among pattern definitions among multiple database storage systems. The method creates pattern definition files for all pattern definitions stored in multiple databases. The name of a pattern definition file includes a group name, a pattern number, and a database associated with the pattern definition. A set of pattern definition files with same group name and pattern number are compared with each other to classify the set into exactly matching or partially matching.	02-24-2011
20110047417	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ERROR DETECTION IN PATTERN DEFINITIONS - A method and system for detecting errors in stored pattern definitions. The method describes structuring a pattern definition into a specified format and creating a pattern definition file. The structured pattern definition contents are hashed to generate a filename for the pattern definition file. This filename, along with a corresponding identifier, is added to an identifier document. Each filename in the identifier document is compared with all other filenames to determine a degree of overlap. A potential error is indicated if a filename substantially matches any of the other filenames in the identifier document.	02-24-2011

20110074156	Spark suppression for a genset - A method for operating a four-stroke internal combustion engine including a crankshaft coupled to a piston, which includes moving the piston in accordance with a sequence of four different strokes; mechanically driving an electric power generator with the crankshaft during the operating of the engine; generating a first sensor signal indicative of each revolution of the crankshaft with the crankshaft rotating twice during the sequence of four different strokes; providing a second sensor signal corresponding to a working fluid characteristic of the engine, the working fluid characteristic changing during the sequence of four different strokes of the piston; and timing ignition of the engine as a function of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.	03-31-2011
