Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090201204Modal beam positioning - An antenna system with an improved antenna feed system is discussed. This multi-beam antenna system can produce a beam of electromagnetic energy propagating in a desired direction by emitting multiple beams of electromagnetic energy that constructively and destructively interfere. The direction of the net beam of electromagnetic energy can be controlled by adjusting the phase and amplitude of the emitted beams of electromagnetic energy which in turn influences the constructive and destructive interference. The phase and amplitude adjustments can be determined by sampling coordinate rotation or similar functions. Aliased components of these functions can be particularly useful in element reduction.08-13-2009

20110106345LOW VISIBILITY LANDING SYSTEM - Examples of the present invention may include a low visibility landing system for guiding aircraft on landing approaches. The low visibility landing system may aid a pilot during landing in low visibility conditions such that an aircraft may descend to lower altitudes without visual contact with the runway than is possible with other landing systems. The system may use various navigational systems to produce a hybrid signal that may be more stable than individual signals of those navigational systems. The hybrid signal is compared to a predetermined landing approach plan to determine the deviation of the aircraft from the landing approach plan and to provide guidance to the pilot to get the aircraft back onto the landing approach plan. The system may also use multiple navigational systems to perform checks on an operation of a primary navigational system to ensure that the primary navigational system is operating accurately.05-05-2011

20110174454PAPERMAKING METHOD USING ONE OR MORE QUATERNIZED DIALKANOLAMINE FATTY ACID ESTER COMPOUNDS TO CONTROL OPACITY AND PAPER PRODUCT MADE THEREBY - A method for making an opacity relevant grade paper or paperboard product, such as a communication type paper used for printing and writing applications, utilizes an effective amount of quaternized alkanolamine fatty acid ester compounds as an opacification aid to control the optical properties of the paper or paperboard product as a wet-end additive to a papermaking operation. Using the quaternized alkanolamine fatty acid ester compound can improve the opacity of the paper or paperboard product, maintain the opacity of the paper while reducing the use of other opacification aids, such as inorganic fillers and/or pigments, and allow for a reduction in paper grammage without a compromise in opacity. The improvements in paper optical properties are achieved without adversely affecting other characteristics of the paper product such as bulk value, tensile strength, tear index, and the like.07-21-2011

20090150999SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DETECTING COMPUTER ATTACKS - Detecting obfuscated attacks on a computer. A first program function is invoked to render static components of a web page and identify program code within the web page or associated file. In response, before executing the identified program code, a malicious-code detector is invoked to scan the identified program code for malicious code. If the malicious-code detector identifies malicious code in the identified program code, the identified program code is not executed. If no malicious code is detected, a second program function generates revised program code from execution of the identified, program code. In response, before executing the revised program code, the malicious-code detector is invoked to scan the revised program code for malicious code. If the malicious-code detector identifies malicious code in the revised program code, the revised program code is not executed.06-11-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110083183ANALYSIS OF SCRIPTS - A method and system for analyzing scripts. A script is processed, which executes text blocks of code derived from the script and copied to an output file in a sequential order. The script is the first text block that is copied to the output file. Executing the text blocks includes interpreting each text block to generate and execute a corresponding interpreted block of code. Processing the script results in the text blocks being sequenced in the output file in the sequential order. The text blocks include an original text block of code that includes text that may be directly inferred from text appearing in the script. The blocks of code include a new text block of code, which includes text that may not be directly inferred from text appearing in the script. The new text block is generated from executing the original text block.04-07-2011

20090150970Data Fading to Secure Data on Mobile Client Devices - Methods, systems, and computer program products to secure data stored on mobile client devices are provided. In an embodiment, the method operates by defining one or more security policies. Each security policy comprises a plurality of security policy parameters. The method stores the security policies in a data store, and selects a security policy from among the stored security policies for a mobile client device. The selected security policy is applied to the mobile client device. The mobile client device determines whether it is compliance with parameters of said selected security policy, and performs data fade actions if it is determined that it is out of compliance with said security policy parameters.06-11-2009

20090189864SELF-ADAPTING VIRTUAL SMALL KEYBOARD APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for implementing a virtual keyboard for use with small input devices. A circular keyboard can be graphically displayed, in response to a user input by a user via a small input device. A circular and centrally located key can be graphically located and displayed within the center of the circular keyboard, wherein character keys radiate outward from the centrally located key (i.e., the “central key”). Character keys that are most commonly utilized by the user are preferably located closed to the circular and centrally located key within the circular keyboard. Character keys least commonly utilized by the user are preferably located at the edges of the keyboard, thereby permitting the circular keyboard to function as a self-adapting virtual keyboard for use with small input devices based on the usage of the keyboard by the user.07-30-2009

20080204447METHOD FOR MODELING AND ANIMATING OBJECT TRAJECTORIES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE - A method for modeling and animating an object trajectory in three-dimensional (3D) space. The trajectory includes at least one course which represents a 3D model mesh. A course includes at least one segment which is a display unit of the 3D model mesh. A segment includes two 3D points. Multiple vertices are generated for a first 3D point of the segment to specify a plane such that a normal vector of the specified plane is parallel to a vector directed from the first 3D point of the segment to a second 3D point of the segment. The generated vertices are added to the 3D model mesh so that the generated vertices can be subsequently displayed as an extension of the 3D model mesh.08-28-2008
