Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100094815Method and apparatus for performing type-aware change tracking in a document - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates performing type-aware change tracking in a document. During operation, the system receives from a user a command which changes a content of an object in the document. In response to the command, the system determines a type of the object. Next, the system modifies the content of the object according to the type of the object. The system then creates a history of the modification. Finally, the system displays the history of the modification to the user.04-15-2010

20100162646Tamper-proof conduit concealing system - A tamper-proof conduit concealing system typically of a type typically defines an elongate solid rectangular structure, also known as a soffit. The bottommost surface of said structures is particularly prone to sagging, bowing, buckling and the like. In conduits of sufficient length, vertical surfaces are also subject to stresses and strains induced by the force of gravity. The conduit concealing system includes the provision within one or more surfaces of the soffit to be reinforced of a series of transverse ribs or gussets, that is, ribs or gussets which are perpendicular to the length of the soffit and, typically, also perpendicular to the surface to which the soffit is to be attached. Such ribs or gussets are pressure formed on the soffit and may exhibit depths in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 inches, and lengths in a range of 0.25 to 2.0 inches, as may be necessary to provide adequate stiffness to the bottom or sides of the soffit and the spacing between such ribs is generally from 10 to 30 inches along the length of the soffit.07-01-2010

20090048999APPLICATION PROCESSING AND DECISION SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES - The present invention relates to application processing and decisioning systems and processes. One embodiment of the invention includes a method for automating decisioning for a credit request associated with an applicant. The method includes providing a user computer interface adapted to receive information associated with an applicant, and further adapted to display and receive information associated with at least one decision rule. The method also includes receiving information associated with an applicant through the user computer interface; receiving information associated with the applicant from at least one data source; and receiving a selection of information associated with a plurality of decision rules through the user computer interface. Furthermore, the method includes receiving a selection of rule flow information associated with the plurality of decision rules through the user computer interface; generating a plurality of decision rules based at least in part on the information associated with the applicant, based at least in part on the information associated with the applicant from at least one data source, and based at least in part on the selection of information associated with a plurality of decision rules, wherein an outcome associated with the at least one decision rule can be obtained; and based in part on at least the rule flow information, displaying at least a portion of the plurality of decision rules through the user computer interface.02-19-2009

20090265696JUST-AHEAD-OF-TIME COMPILATION - Pre-compiling postdominating functions. Some embodiments may be practiced in a computing environment including a runtime compilation. For example one method includes acts for compiling functions. The method includes determining that a function of an application has been called. A control flow graph is used to determine one or more postdominance relationships between the function and one or more other functions. The one or more other functions are assigned to be pre-compiled based on the postdominance relationship.10-22-2009

20100265077Tampering Detection System Using Quantum-Mechanical Systems - The use of quantum-mechanically entangled photons for monitoring the integrity of a physical border or a communication link is described. The no-cloning principle of quantum information science is used as protection against an intruder's ability to spoof a sensor receiver using a ‘classical’ intercept-resend attack. Correlated measurement outcomes from polarization-entangled photons are used to protect against quantum intercept-resend attacks, i.e., attacks using quantum teleportation.10-21-2010
