20110166869Providing an Indication of the Validity of the Identity of an Individual - Aspects of this disclosure relate to an identity level generating computer which may include a processor and memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause the computer to perform a method for generating identity levels for customers of a business. The method for generating identity levels for customers of a business may include electronically receiving customer data regarding at least one of: an identity of the customer, a behavior of the customer, a propensity of a customer and a risk associated with the customer's identity and determining one or more individual characteristic levels based on the electronically received information. According to aspects of this disclosure, determining the one or more individual characteristic levels may include comparing the customer data regarding the at least one of the identity of the customer, the behavior of the customer, the propensity of the customer and the risk associated with the customer's identity with a list predetermined criteria and calculating an identity level based on the comparison of the customer data with the list predetermined criteria.07-07-2011
20110167011DYNAMIC EMPLOYEE SECURITY RISK SCORING - Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products that provide for an employee security risk score. The security risk score is presented as an extensible composite vector that supports an arbitrary number of risk categories. The risk categories can be aggregated at any level in the business hierarchy or according to any employee parameter. The simplistic, highly normalized approach to employee security risk scoring reduces redundancies and dependencies and provides for real-time updates, As such, the employee security risk scoring system provides for easily identifiable recognition of employees who pose security threats and for a means to track and monitor security risks posed by the employee based on their security risk score.07-07-2011
20120030757LOGIN INITIATED SCANNING OF COMPUTING DEVICES - Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for login initiated remote scanning of computer devices. The present invention detects login to the network via access management systems. The login data provides information that identifies the device so that the device can be checked against a scan database to determine if and when a previous scan occurred. Based on the findings in the scan database determinations are made as to whether to perform a scan. Additionally, the level of scanning can be determined based on previous scan dates and previous scan results, which may dictate customized scanning In addition, the priority of the impending scan may be dictated by previous scan dates and results. Further embodiments provide for assessing risk, such as risk scoring or the like, concurrently or in near-real-time with the completion of the scan so that alerts may be communicated.02-02-2012

20100101242SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ELECTRONICS - A system, method and apparatus for cooling the electronic components that regulate power and commutation of a refrigerant compressor motor in an air conditioning system. The electronic components are juxtaposed upon a heat sink provided with a refrigerant passageway. The heat sink is fluidly disposed in the refrigeration line between the evaporator assembly and compressor such that refrigerant returning from the evaporator assembly to the compressor of the air conditioning system travels directly to the heat sink and through the refrigerant passageway before reaching the compressor.04-29-2010

20080208998SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN A SERVER AND A CLIENT - A system and method for improved client and server communications, more particularly, an improved protocol that may be used for communication between a client and a server, such as in an email environment. Many features are provided for improved communications. An email server may provide the best message body available for an email message, may transfer an entire data object if requested property or properties are not well defined within the data object, may provide progress data for use in tracking download progress, and may send error information for a data object having an error. Email changes may be optimized at an email server component, even if the email changes occurred at another email server component. An email server may maintain a table of changes that occur to folders at an associated data store, and may notify a subscribed email client component of changes that occur in the table.08-28-2008

20090089620Internet connectivity evaluation - Internet connectivity evaluation provides for easy, efficient and effective testing of the Internet connectivity behavior between an operating system hosted on a computing device and an IGD (Internet Gateway Device) interacting with the computing device. With a user's computing device communicating with one or more servers, or server-type devices, interacting with, or otherwise communicating with, the Internet, Internet connectivity evaluation can quickly and cost-effectively be performed to identify known major issues in the interaction between the operating system hosted on the user's computing device and an IGD.04-02-2009

20110156513ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILLATOR WITH ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL OUTPUT - An oscillator typically includes several rotatable drive magnets and pivotable oscillating arms having respective follower magnets so that the drive magnets drive movement of the follower magnets to pivot the arms back and forth in an oscillating manner. A generating magnet or electrically conductive member may be mounted on each oscillating arm for producing an electric current in the electrically conductive member. Repelling magnets may be mounted on the oscillating arms with respective repelling magnets positioned to repel the first repelling magnet to limit pivotal travel of the oscillating arm.06-30-2011

20100241544SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT ENABLES SUBSCRIBER-DRIVEN CHANGES TO SERVICE PLANS - A service management system that enables a subscriber of a mobile telecommunication system to modify aspects of his or her service plan and have the modification to the service plan take effect immediately. The subscriber enters a modification request to an aspect of a service plan. The modification request is verified against a set of rules that defines acceptable changes to the service plan. If the proposed modification to the service plan is a valid change, the change to the service plan is immediately propagated to a billing system and to other systems that implement the service plan. The subscriber is notified when the modification to the service plan is complete, and the subscriber is billed on a going-forward basis in accordance with the rate structure applicable to the plan.09-23-2010

20100152704Method for Intravesical Drug Delivery - Implant devices for intravesical administration and local drug delivery. The device has a body which includes a hollow tube formed of a biocompatible material; at least one reservoir in the tube which contains a drug; and one or more apertures through which the drug can be released. The device is configured for minimally invasive insertion into a body cavity, such as the bladder. The hollow tube may be elastomeric to permit the device to be elastically deformed from its initial shape into an elongated shape for passage through a catheter, where following such passage the device can return to or toward its initial shape to facilitate retention of the device in the body cavity. The body may have a narrow, elongated shape effective to permit insertion of the drug delivery device through a catheter without necessarily deforming the body, yet include flexible projections which effect retention within the body cavity.06-17-2010
