| 20090144077 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING EXPOSURES PRESENTED BY AN ORCHESTRATED PROCESS - The present invention provides a system and method to dynamically identify, assemble, or otherwise simulate the availability of resources for an orchestrated service or application, thereby allowing for strategic changes in scheduling, purchasing, hiring, and the like to ensure that the resources needed to deliver the desired outcome during a particular time period are present. In particular, the system includes an orchestration module storing a plurality of resource parameters, correlating a predetermined criterion for one or more resources with an event, and simulating the event, where the simulation includes comparing the stored plurality of parameters with the predetermined criterion. The system further determines whether the stored plurality of parameters satisfy the predetermined criterion, and may store the determination for subsequent evaluation. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20100332824 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MOBILE LIGHTWEIGHT CRYPTOGRAPHIC DIRECTORY ACCESS - A system for handling an LDAP service request to an LDAP server for an LDAP service comprises a client program executable on a client system and a handler program executable on a handler system. The client program is operable to generate LDAP service request data corresponding to the LDAP service and provide the LDAP service request data for transmission from the client system, and further operable to receive LDAP service reply data in response to the LDAP service request data. The handler program is operable to receive the LDAP service request data transmitted from the client system and execute the LDAP service request to the LDAP server, receive LDAP service reply data from the LDAP server during one or more passes, and upon completion of the LDAP service, provide the LDAP service reply data for transmission to the client system in a single pass. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110072270 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE CERTIFICATE STATUS PROVIDERS ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and system for supporting multiple digital certificate status information providers are disclosed. An initial service request is prepared at a proxy system client module and sent to a proxy system service module operating at a proxy system. The proxy system prepares multiple service requests and sends the service requests to respective multiple digital certificate status information providers. One of the responses to the service requests received from the status information providers is selected, and a response to the initial service request is prepared and returned to the proxy system client module based on the selected response. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20080198270 | Apparatus and methods for image decoding - A partially-built image stored in a buffer (such as for output to a display device) is combined by an image decoder with an encoded image update. The image is in a different format than the encoded image update (such as by being in a spatial domain, whereas the encoded image update is in a frequency domain). The image decoder operates, at least in part, by encoding the image to attain a same format as the encoded image update, combining the encoded image and the encoded image update, and decoding the result for storage in the buffer as an updated version of the image. The encoded image update is part of a progressive encoding. The encoding and/or the decoding are optionally lossy. After the image reaches a predetermined quality threshold, such as a perceptually lossless quality threshold, residual encoding/decoding techniques are optionally used for image updates. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20110302523 | Method and apparatus for sharing user service classes - This disclosure describes a system in which individual employee records can be updated across multiple services by an administrator at the interface to a particular service. Multiple services may be provided with this capability. This will eliminate the need in the current art for a central directory that contains a service description that will be common across all services. The technology eliminates the need for the development of this directory and the training of administrators in its interface. Administrators may utilize their training in one service interface to update records across multiple services. This will enable the more rapid development of solutions utilizing services from multiple vendors. Administrators need not be trained on interfaces for all services but can apply routine global updates from a convenient and familiar interface. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20110195116 | RATE MODULATED DELIVERY OF DRUGS FROM A COMPOSITE DELIVERY SYSTEM - This invention relates to a pharmaceutical dosage form for the delivery of at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or the pharmaceutically active salts and isomers thereof, to a desired absorption location of the human or animal body, preferably the gastrointestinal tract, in a predetermined rate-modulated manner. The dosage form is orally ingestible and is in the form of a multi-layered tablet preferably three layers and each layer includes an API or capsule containing a multiplicity of multi-layered granules. Each layer contains one or more APIs mixed or blended with at least one and preferably a matrix of polymers and, where appropriate, excipients, which, in use, inhibit release of an API in a region of the gastrointestinal tract other than the desired absorption location and, thus, facilitate release of the API in a rate controlled manner when in the desired absorption location. Methods of manufacturing said dosage form are further disclosed. | 08-11-2011 |
