| 20080270460 | Creating a data structure that specifies relationships between networked objects - Embodiments of the present invention pertain to creating a data structure that specifies relationships between networked objects. According to one embodiment, information indicating a degree to which a computer potentially satisfies a condition between a software program and an object is received. The computer and the object are associated with a network. A data structure that specifies the condition between the software program and the object and specifies a degree to which the computer potentially satisfies the condition is created based on the received information. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20110108626 | ELECTRONIC CARD AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A MAGNETIC FIELD FROM SWIPING THE ELECTRONIC CARD THROUGH A CARD READER - An electronic card and a method for processing data stored in the electronic card. The electronic card includes a memory containing data to be read by a card reader. The electronic card may include a programmable field source containing wire structures geometrically configured and energized in a manner that drives an electric current through only two wire structures at a time for generating a time varying magnetic field that induces a readback signal in the card reader as the electronic card is being swiped through the card reader. An electrical current in at least one wire in the electronic card generates a time varying magnetic field and may include a finite time derivative of electrical current whose magnitude does not exceed a specified maximum time derivative of electrical current corresponding to a peak voltage threshold (V | 05-12-2011 |

| 20080218916 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPONENT FAILURE PROTECTION - A system and method is presented for component failure protection. In one embodiment, the system includes an operational circuit configured to operate in a first operational state, wherein the first operational state is in proximity of a circuit failure threshold. Additionally, the system may include a canary circuit configured to mimic the operational characteristics of the operational circuit, wherein the canary circuit is configured to operate in a second operational state, and wherein the second operational state is in closer proximity of a circuit failure threshold than the proximity of the of the first operational state. The system may also include a variable input control coupled to the operational circuit and the canary circuit, wherein the variable input control is configured to monitor the second operational state and adjust an input to the operational circuit based on the proximity of the second operational state to the circuit failure threshold. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20110289290 | SPACE RESERVATION IN A DEDUPLICATION SYSTEM - Various embodiments for space reservation in a deduplication system are provided. A calculated factoring ratio is determined as a weighted ratio of current nominal data to physical data based on at least one storage capacity threshold and a used storage space currently physically consumed by one of backup and replication data. A maximal nominal estimated space in the computing storage environment is calculated. A remaining space, defined as the maximal nominal estimated space minus a current nominal space in the computing storage environment, is calculated. If the remaining space is one of equal and less than a user-configured reservation space for backup operations, data replication operations are accepted and stored in the computing storage environment. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20110120128 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A POWER PLANT - The present invention relates to a method of controlling a power plant, which power plant comprises: a boiler being adapted for combusting an organic fuel and for generating steam and a process gas comprising carbon dioxide; a steam system being; and a carbon dioxide capture system being adapted to remove at least a portion of the carbon dioxide from the process gas by contacting a carbon dioxide absorbent solution with the process gas, the method comprising: forwarding a portion of the steam produced by the power plant boiler to a regenerator of the carbon dioxide capture system; regenerating the absorbent solution in said regenerator through heating of said carbon dioxide absorbent solution by means of the forwarded steam; and automatically controlling the operation of the carbon capture system by means of at least one automatic controller. The invention also relates to a power plant including a carbon dioxide capture system. | 05-26-2011 |
