| 20080201645 | Method and Apparatus for Deploying Portlets in Portal Pages Based on Social Networking - A Portal Page Customizer (PPC) provides a tagging component and a portal page generator that enables a user to quickly display portlets most preferred by a community of portlet users. Each tag is associated with one or more portlet. A user can add new descriptive tags to portlets using tools on the portal page. When a user selects a tag from a tag cloud, the PPC displays portlets associated with the selected tag. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080309484 | Detecting Explosive Mixture Based On Identifying Components of Explosive Mixture Using Molecular Computational Identification - A method, system and computer program product for detecting an explosive mixture. A potentially hazardous material is embedded with molecules where these molecules are used for identifying individual cells. Upon scanning the potentially hazardous material, the embedded molecules give off light or sonar signatures as output. The output of these molecules is read by a reader which is used to identify the type of material as well as the amount of the material. This information is stored and correlated with the passenger carrying the identified material and the passenger's flight information. A security alert is generated if there is a combination of amounts of potentially hazardous materials previously identified with the amount of potentially hazardous material currently identified that together would be classified as an explosive device where these potentially hazardous materials are to be carried by individual(s) on the same flight(s). | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080313665 | PRODUCT, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY TUNING A TELEVISION SET DURING ACTIVATION - The invention discloses a product, method and system for dynamically tuning the “default” television (TV) channel displayed during activation of a television set, which can be individually programmed by the viewer (i.e., the “default” or current choice) or automatically selected by determining the TV station(s) and/or program(s) that are most popular or important to that viewer (i.e., based on a collective viewing audience such as through use of social networking techniques). | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090144297 | CONTRIBUTOR CHARACTERISTIC BASED TAG CLOUDS - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to the visual display of tags and provide a method, system and computer program product for contributor characteristic based tag clouds. In an embodiment of the invention, a tag cloud generation method can include loading tags for resources in a social bookmarking system, determining a personal characteristic for each of the end users applying the tags to the resources, and rendering a tag cloud for the tags based upon the personal characteristic of the end users and not based upon the frequency of use of the tags alone. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090187364 | AUTHENTICATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS USING MOLECULAR COMPUTATIONAL IDENTIFICATION - A method, apparatus and computer program product for authenticating a pharmaceutical product is provided. The method includes receiving an identifier and a quantity for the pharmaceutical product and receiving a photonic signal from the pharmaceutical product, wherein the photonic signal includes a frequency and amplitude. The method can further include searching for the identifier and quantity that was received in a predefined list comprising identifier-quantity pairs, wherein a frequency and amplitude corresponds to each identifier-quantity pair. The method can further include matching the identifier and quantity that was received to a first identifier-quantity pair in the list. The method can further include storing a record indicating that the pharmaceutical product is counterfeit if the frequency and amplitude of the photonic signal does not match the frequency and amplitude corresponding to the first identifier-quantity pair. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100088364 | SOCIAL NETWORKING ARCHITECTURE IN WHICH PROFILE DATA HOSTING IS PROVIDED BY THE PROFILE OWNER - Social networking content can be served to a set of social networking users. The served social networking content can include semantic content associated with specific ones of the social networking users. The semantic content can be shared among different ones of the social networking users during the serving. At least a portion of the semantic content can be stored within a local data store associated with a computing device of the specific user to whom the semantic content applies. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110153768 | E-MEETING PRESENTATION RELEVANCE ALERTS - Electronic meeting relevance alerts that include receiving, by a processing device, metadata related to an electronic meeting, comparing, by the processing device, the metadata with preferences of an attendee invited to the electronic meeting to determine a relevancy of the metadata to the attendee, and sending, by the processing device, a notification to the attendee responsive to the relevancy of the metadata to the attendee. | 06-23-2011 |
