| 20080235154 | FINANCIAL ADVISORY SYSTEM - A financial advisory system is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, return scenarios for optimized portfolio allocations are simulated interactively to facilitate financial product selection. Return scenarios for each asset class of a plurality of asset classes are generated based upon estimated future scenarios of one or more economic factors. A mapping from each financial product of an available set of financial products onto one or more asset classes of the plurality of asset classes is created by determining exposures of the available set of financial products to each asset class of the plurality of asset classes. In this way, the expected returns and correlations of a plurality of financial products are generated and used to produce optimized portfolios of financial products. Return scenarios are simulated for one or more portfolios including combinations of financial products from the available set of financial products based upon the mapping. | 09-25-2008 |

These scripts, while executed locally, may interact with either the local machine or another remote machine for performing data collection, corrective actions, or other desired functionality. An execution context defines whether commands executed by the script are to execute locally or remotely, and a context handler allows processing those commands either locally or remotely depending on the execution context, transparently to the script. Data generated by remote execution may be transported back to the local machine for manipulation locally, transparently to the script. | 06-30-2011 |

The management system determines whether the user is authenticated for the requested action. Upon authentication, the management system identifies an impersonation policy based on user profile and the remote machine. The management system connects to the remote machine, impersonates an elevated privilege account if required, and executes the user action on the remote machine. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20120198049 | System and Method for Stateless, Fault Tolerance and Load Balanced Data Collection Using Overlay Namespaces - Systems, methods and computer readable media that provide stateless fault tolerance and load balanced data collection using overlay namespaces are described. A cluster is used. Each node of the cluster may be a monitoring system. A data provider process may run on each node in the cluster. Each node has an overlay namespace which comprises one or more links to namespaces on other nodes, and local viewpoints of those linked namespaces. When a node detects a resource waiting to be monitored, it queries other nodes to determine whether object creation for that resource is allowed. It creates an object only if no other node is creating or has created an object for that resource. A node may stop monitoring more resources if the load on the node reaches a specified threshold. The node may also stop monitoring a resource if it determines the load level on another node is at a predefined low level compared with its own load level. | 08-02-2012 |

| 20090157723 | Impact Propagation in a Directed Acyclic Graph - A method, system and medium for efficiently propagating service impact data in a directed acyclic graph. One or more service components, impact rules and business rules will be grouped together into a directed acyclic graph and a related metadata array. Impact propagation uses related metadata array to minimize traversal of the graph. As nodes of the graph are updated to propagate impact data a determination is made as to when no further impact propagation is required and calculations are terminated without having to traverse the entire graph. This method will allow a system or business administrator to maintain real-time notification and visualization of, the impacted state of all objects in the graph. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090157724 | Impact Propagation in a Directed Acyclic Graph Having Restricted Views - Service impact data is efficiently propagated in a directed acyclic graph with restricted views. One or more service components, impact rules and business rules are grouped together into a directed acyclic graph and a related metadata array. Impact propagation uses related metadata array to minimize traversal of the graph. As nodes of the graph are updated to propagate impact data, a determination is made as to when no further impact propagation is required. Subsequently, calculations are terminated without having to traverse the entire graph. This method allows a system or business administrator to view and receive real-time notification of the impacted state of all nodes in the graph that are available to their permitted view. Restricted views ensure that available service impact data is only displayed to end users having the proper authorization to view the underlying impact model data. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090158192 | Dynamic Folding of Listed Items for Display - A list folding process dynamically groups items of a list into logically related visual folds to reduce the number of items to be displayed in a window of a computer screen. The process determines attributes of the items to be displayed and dynamically groups items together into a special group called a visual fold based on the attributes. The rules for folding items based on attributes can be defined by a particular user so that each view of the items may be different among users. As the attributes of each item change, the display of the items and visual folds may be automatically adjusted to reflect the current proper grouping. The folding process therefore allows a user to view the maximum amount of information in available display area of a computer screen window. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20120082224 | INTRA SMOOTHING FILTER FOR VIDEO CODING - This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing the amount of additional data encoded with a block encoded using intra-predictive coding. Particularly, the techniques provide apparatus and methods of applying a smoothing filter to prediction samples used in intra-predictive coding. For example, in fixed mode-dependent intra-predictive coding, a video encoder may determine the type of smoothing filter applied to prediction samples based on block size and intra-prediction mode combination associated with the current block, where the combination is used to look up a filter in a first filter table. In adaptive mode-dependent intra-predictive coding, the encoder uses two filters, one from the first filter table and another from a second filter table, applies both filters, and determines which yields better results. When the second filter table filter yields better results, the encoder encodes a filtering indication. When a filter from the first filter table is used, no filtering indication is encoded. | 04-05-2012 |

| 20090324941 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FLEXIBLE COMPOSITE ELASTOMERIC POLYURETHANE SKIN - The present invention relates to a method for producing a flexible elastomeric composite polyurethane skin comprising a first and a second flexible polyurethane layer obtained by spraying a first and a second polyurethane reaction mixture onto one another. The first reaction mixture is an aliphatic polyurethane reaction mixture which is free of lead and formulated to produce a polyurethane elastomer having a flexural modulus smaller than 35 MPa. The second reaction mixture is an aromatic polyurethane reaction mixture producing a polyurethane elastomer having a smaller flexural modulus. The thickness of the aliphatic polyurethane layer could be made so small with respect to the thickness of the aromatic polyurethane layer that the composite skin has an average flexural modulus smaller than 30 MPa. Notwithstanding the lower reactivity of the aliphatic polyurethane reaction mixture, especially when using a higher NCO-index to reduce the “rubbery feel” and the emission of VOCs and/or a flexibiliser to achieve a higher flexibility, sufficiently short cycle times can be achieved due to the accelerated curing observed when spraying the aromatic polyurethane sufficiently early against the aliphatic polyurethane layer. | 12-31-2009 |

The polyurethane reaction mixture is composed of components comprising at least an isocyanate component, isocyanate-reactive components and a catalyst component and the isocyanate component is composed of at least one isocyanate having at least two NCO-groups which are not directly attached to an aromatic group. The catalyst component is substantially free of lead, which leads to a lower flexibility. In accordance with the invention, the flexibility of the polyurethane skin is increased by means of at least one flexibiliser which reduces the flexural modulus of the skin and which comprises at least one isocyanate-reactive group. The flexibiliser is preferably a monofunctional flexibiliser which comprises only one isocyanate-reactive group. | 08-30-2012 |
