20110063605METHOD OF TESTING A PASSIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT - A passive optical element defining an optical propagation path is tested by coupling a first end of a first buffer fiber to an input of the optical propagation path and coupling a second end of the buffer fiber to an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The OTDR launches optical radiation into the first buffer fiber via the second end thereof, measures power level of return light received at the OTDR via the second end of the first buffer fiber, and creates a first OTDR signature representing power level of return light as a function of distance from the second end of the first buffer fiber. The OTDR selects a first marker point by applying data reduction to at least a portion of a segment of the first OTDR signature corresponding to the first buffer fiber, selects a second marker point downstream of the input of the optical propagation path, and calculates a first power difference value as difference between a power level at the first marker point and a power level at the second marker point.03-17-2011

20090222833CODELESS PROVISIONING SYNC RULES - Managing resources. A computing environment may include a resource manager. The resource manager includes programmatic code for managing resources. Expected rule entries are added to an expected rules list. Each of the expected rule entries includes: an indicator used to identify a synchronization rule, a definition of flow type, a specification of an object type in the resource manager to which the synchronization rule applies, a specification of a downstream resource system, a specification of an object type in the downstream resource system to which the synchronization rule applies, a specification of relationship criteria including one or more conditions for linking objects in the resource manager and the downstream resource system, and a specification of attribute flow information. Objects in downstream resource systems can be synchronized with objects in the resource manager based on the expected rule entries in the expected rules list.09-03-2009
20090222834CODELESS PROVISIONING - Managing resources. A resource manager includes programmatic code for managing resources in the computing environment. Resources available from resource systems within the computing environment are managed. Methods may include receiving user input indicating one or more of that a new entity should be added to the resource manager, that an entity represented by an entity object of the resource manager should have permissions removed at the resource manager, or that an entity represented by an entity object of the resource manager should have permissions added at the resource manager. In response to receiving user input, events may be generated and objects created or removed from the resource manager for from downstream resource systems. The events may specify workflows that should be executed to perform synchronization between objects at the resource manager and objects at a downstream resource system by adding or changing rules in an expected rules list.09-03-2009
20090222882UNIFIED MANAGEMENT POLICY - Defining a unified access management policy expression that unifies access control policy with events or workflows. Unified management policy information is stored. The unified management policy information defines permissions for access to resources together with events or workflows. A request is received to execute the one or more operations on one or more objects. The requested operation is verified against the unified management rules. Verifying includes performing a single retrieval, retrieving both the access control information and the events or workflows and calculating the applicability of the rule to the conditions represented by the request. Matching rules are applied, access control decisions performed and associated workflows are executed.09-03-2009

20120118650DEVICE FOR POSITIONING A CONTAINER FOR A GRAVITY-FED INTRAVENOUS FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM - A device that is suited to suspend a container of IV fluid away from a vertical surface such that the device easily mounts to the vertical surface. One embodiment includes a first (horizontal) member having a first end and a second end. Then, a second (vertical) member having a first end is attached to the first end of the first horizontal member. Further, the vertical member may be suited to be attached to a vertical surface via an attachment means, such as a hook hole or magnets. In other embodiments, the first and second members are designed to fit over the top of a door. Additionally, the device includes a hanging apparatus (e.g., a hook) attached to the second end of the first member such that an object may be suspended from the hook away from the vertical surface.05-17-2012

20110109643MONITORING WEB SITE CONTENT - Systems and methods for monitoring Web page content associated with processing a resource request are provided. A client computing device generates a sample image corresponding to a set of resources rendered in response to a resource request. A processing component, such as an image analysis component, then compares the sample image with an averaged reference image to identify a compared image. The averaged reference image is determined from averaging a pixel intensity value for each pixel in a first reference image with a pixel intensity value for each pixel in a second reference image. These first and second reference images both correspond to the same set of requested resources. The processing component then weights the compared image to produce a weighted compared image and determines whether a sum of the intensity values for each pixel in the weighted compared image exceeds a threshold. Aspects of systems and methods for generating an alert message if the threshold is exceeded are also provided.05-12-2011
20120079119INTERACTING WITH CLOUD-BASED APPLICATIONS USING UNRELATED DEVICES - Systems and method provide logic facilitating an interaction between a networked server and multiple, unrelated devices. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method enables a user of a device to interact with or control multiple, unrelated devices across a could computing environment using a networked server. The method includes receiving, at the networked server, an instruction from the control device. A corresponding instruction understandable by an unrelated controlled device is generated by the networked server, and the corresponding instruction is operable to cause the controlled device to perform the received instruction. The networked server may transmit the corresponding instruction to the controlled device.03-29-2012

20100333117COMPLIANCE INTERFACE FOR COMPLIANT APPLICATIONS - A compliance interface is disclosed that takes in queries from applications which may want to know if they are compliant with associated polices stored on a computing system. The interface can then interpret these queries and provide notifications and instructions to the applications. Notifications may give notice of how a policy may impact an application, and instructions may tell an application how to behave in order to stay compliant with the policies. In one aspect, the interface exposes policies set forth by parents. Via a management control panel, parents can set or alter various policies, stored in a settings store, to protect children from contact with undesirable content. The interface interprets these policies to ensure that applications, such as those provided by third party vendors, are compliant with the wishes set forth in the parents' policies.12-30-2010

20120089671SELECTING AN INSTANCE OF A RESOURCE USING NETWORK ROUTABILITY INFORMATION - A client computer requests a resource from an ISP/OSP. The ISP/OSP maintains multiple instances of the resource. In deciding to which instance of the resource to route the client computer, a resource selection server takes network routability information into account. Geographic proximity, resource utilization, network utilization, and/or maintenance of peering agreements may also be taken into account in selecting the instance of the resource.04-12-2012
