| 20090013010 | METHOD AND APPROACH TO HOSTING VERSIONED WEB SERVICES - A method for hosting versioned web services includes steps of: receiving a request from a service requester, the request comprising version metadata; parsing the request; extracting the version metadata from the parsing step; and locating a target implementation version using the version metadata. If the target implementation version is located, the method proceeds by dynamically routing the versioned request to the target implementation version. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20110071876 | PLANNING AND ORCHESTRATING WORKFLOW INSTANCE MIGRATION - A method and information processing system manage workflow instance migration. An initial workflow process model is compared with a new workflow process model. A set of differences between the initial workflow process model and the new workflow process model are determined. At least one set of activities associated with the initial workflow process model that is migrateable to the new workflow process model is identified based on the set of differences. A migration plan associated with the initial workflow process model and the new workflow process model is generated. The migration plan includes the at least one set of activities associated with the initial workflow process model. The migration plan is then used to evaluate a set of workflow instances associated with the initial workflow process model and migrate one or more of these workflow instances to the new workflow process model based thereon. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20080217782 | METHOD FOR PREPARING 2-DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES FOR INTEGRATION IN A THIRD DIMENSION - A method which is intended to facilitate and/or simplify the process of fabricating interlayer vias by selective modification of the FEOL film stack on a transfer wafer is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a method in which two dimensional devices are prepared for subsequent integration in a third dimension at the transition between normal FEOL processes by using an existing interlayer contact mask to define regions in which layers of undesirable dielectrics and metal are selectively removed and refilled with a middle-of-the-line (MOL) compatible dielectric film. As presented, the inventive method is compatible with standard FEOL/MOL integration schemes, and it guarantees a homogeneous dielectric film stack specifically in areas where interlayer contacts are to be formed, thus allowing the option of a straightforward integration path, if desired. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090276743 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPUTING PROXY SLACK DURING STATISTIC ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - A method of optimizing timing of signals within an integrated circuit design using proxy slack values propagates signals through the integrated circuit design to output timing signals. For early mode timing analysis, the method sets an early proxy slack value to zero if the late slack value is less than zero. Otherwise, if the late slack value is not less than zero, the method restricts the early proxy slack value to a maximum of the early slack value and the negative of the late slack value. To the contrary, for late mode timing analysis, the method sets a late proxy slack value to zero if the early slack value is less than zero. Otherwise, if the early proxy slack value is not less than zero, the method restricts the late proxy slack value to a maximum of the late slack value and the negative of the early slack value. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20110238111 | Soft Tissue Fixation Using A Looped Suture Construct - A looped suture construct is formed by looping a suture on itself and slidably connecting the suture through an anchoring structure such that a looped end and a free end of the suture are on opposite sides of the slidable connection. The anchoring structure may be bone, a suture anchor, or another structure securely attached to bone. The looped end and the free end are passed through the soft tissue to be repaired. The free end is then passed through the looped end. Tension is applied to the free end to draw the soft tissue into contact with the desired bone, whereupon the free end is secured to maintain the tension. The looped suture end remains open and positioned on one side or surface of the soft tissue. Suture anchors of the invention are pre-loaded with at least one suture having a looped end and at least one free end. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20090255989 | ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF ADMISSION TICKETS DIRECT TO A PURCHASER - Electronic delivery of counterfeit-resistant documents exchangeable for value such as admission tickets, gift certificates, coupons, vouchers, etc. directly to the person who ordered the documents over an open communications network such at the Internet. A first party orders a document from a second party, and the second party electronically delivers the ordered, counterfeit-resistant document to a device designated by the first party. For example, the document may be electronically ordered using a PC, and a printer coupled to the PC may print the document. In one embodiment, the first party transmits unsolicited offers over the open communications network The document may be made counterfeit resistant by assigning unique information to each document of a given type, e.g., admission tickets, and checking the uniqueness of a document and whether the unique information was previously read prior to allowing it to be exchanged for value. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20100086215 | Automated Facial Action Coding System - An automatic facial action coding system and method can include processing an image to identify a face in the image, to detect and align one or more facial features shown in the image, and to define one or more windows on the image. One or more distributions of pixels and color intensities can be quantified in each of the one or more windows to derive one or more two-dimensional intensity distributions of one or more colors within the window. The one or more two-dimensional intensity distributions can be processed to select image features appearing in the one or more windows and to classify one or more predefined facial actions on the face in the image. A facial action code score that includes a value indicating a relative amount of the predefined facial action occurring in the face in the image can be determined for the face in the image for each of the one or more predefined facial actions. | 04-08-2010 |
