| 20080203831 | Magnetic Drive Apparatus - A primary disc and the secondary discs are each fitted with magnetic means, typically in the form of permanent magnets of the same polarity, located along a radial line from the centre point of the discs, and arranged generally transverse to the axis of rotation of the respective disc. As shown in the drawings, these magnets are also located at or adjacent to the periphery of the disc(s). The magnets are embedded into each of the primary and secondary discs such that the faces of the magnets are flush with the exterior faces of the primary and secondary discs. In the embodiment, each of the magnets embedded in the primary disc has a North pole which is aligned with a North pole of a magnet embedded in the secondary disc. Each of the South pole of those magnets embedded in the primary disc has a South pole which is aligned with a South pole of a magnet embedded in the other secondary disc. In some embodiments, the magnets on the primary and secondary discs are arranged so as to be parallel, with their respective elongate, straight side edges aligned. In use, such an arrangement can result in less slippage between the discs which hold the magnets, and can assist in handling some misalignment which may occur between these discs during use, thus allowing smoother operation. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100076798 | MODELING, MONITORING, AND MANAGING SYSTEM DIMENSIONS FOR A SERVICE ASSURANCE SYSTEM - A user interface accepts a model of a proposed system solution for a service assurance system. A Dimensioning Engine receives the solution and determines dimensions for the solution. The dimensions specify any of: a quantity of CPUs, a rating for the quantity of CPUs, an amount of disk storage, a memory requirement, or a CPU processing parameter. A Dimensioning Model Manager stores data from equipment and product vendors to determine the solution by taking into account specific characteristics of an equipment or a product to be used in the service assurance system. A Dimensioning Monitor (DM) monitors the model of the solution against events occurring in the service assurance system. The DM transmits an alert if the service assurance system underperforms or overperforms with reference to the model. The DM determines changes to the model into line with a current set of operational conditions, or updates the dimensions. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100077340 | PROVIDING A HIERARCHICAL FILTERED VIEW OF AN OBJECT MODEL AND ITS INTERDEPENDENCIES - Supporting a visualization of an object model in which multiple dependencies exist between each of a plurality of objects by limiting one or more object instances in the object model and filtering one or more attributes associated with one or more of the object instances. The limiting and filtering is performed by utilizing a plurality of windows, panels, or sub-windows to display a corresponding list of one or more objects for a dimension, along with one or more attributes associated with each of the one or more objects; and updating a second window, panel, or sub-window in response to receiving a selection of an item from a first window, panel, or sub-window according to a relationship defined in the object model, wherein the updating is performed in a hierarchical manner. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20110151862 | PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FOR A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK - A performance management method is operable for use with a performance management system linked to a telecommunication network. The method comprises receiving a problem report from a femtocell of a plurality of femtocells communicatively coupled to the telecommunication network. The femtocell is configured to provide communications from at least one mobile device to the telecommunication network through a broadband connection. The problem report identifies a fault being exhibited by a femtocell and a performance parameter identifying a degradation in the performance of the femtocell. The method includes analyzing the performance parameter for determining a corrective action to be performed in an environment linked to the femtocell. The method includes performing the corrective action in the environment linked to the femtocell. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20110096714 | PROPAGATION OF CHANGES IN A NETWORK - A network of nodes and connections is provided, each connection connecting two nodes. A method of operating a first node in the network includes detecting a change in a node connected to the first node, identifying that the number of nodes connected to the first node with the detected change is above a predetermined threshold, and executing the detected change at the first node and/or propagating the detected change to one or more nodes connected to the first node that do not have the detected change. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20120089705 | SERVICE MANAGEMENT USING USER EXPERIENCE METRICS - A method, system, and computer usable program product to determine a first mood of the user, where the first mood is based on a characteristic of the user at a first time during the providing of an online service and to determine a second mood of the user, where the second mood is based on a characteristic of the user at a second time during the providing of the online service. The first mood of the user and the second mood of the user are compared to determine a delta or change in mood of the user. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20090299642 | METHOD - A method of analyzing a keratin sample from a subject to improve sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test for a pathological state in the subject by exposing the keratin sample to incident energy derived from an energy source; receiving radiated energy from the keratin sample consequent upon impingement of the incident energy on the keratin sample; passing at least a portion of the radiated energy received from the keratin sample through a transducer so as to derive subject specific data; processing subject specific derived data; comparing the processed subject specific data thus derived with a second group of reference data present in a reference database; wherein the second group of reference data is consistent with a presence of the pathological state in the subject; and including the steps of applying an appropriate algorithm to said subject specific data prior to said step of comparing thereby to improve sensitivity and specificity relative to said reference data. | 12-03-2009 |
