Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100254254PROCESS ACTIVENESS CHECK - Described herein are techniques for dynamically monitoring process activeness of processes running on a computing node. Problems affecting processes to serve their designated functions on the computing node can be relatively quickly detected and dealt with, thereby making restoring process activeness on the computing node much more quickly than otherwise.10-07-2010

20120119647POTENTIAL CONTROL OF HEAT SINK IN SOLID-STATE LIGHT DEVICE - Higher power light emitting diode (LED) modules are thermally managed by thermal coupling to a heat sink. An ion wind fan can be used to provide forced convection for the heat sink. In such a light device, in one embodiment the present invention includes electrically connecting the heat sink to the low voltage terminal of the LED driver, thereby controlling the potential of the heat sink.05-17-2012

20120084254DATA MIGRATION USING COMMUNICATIONS AND COLLABORATION PLATFORM - Data migration using communications and collaboration platform provides an efficient and flexible method for migrating data from an existing system to a new system. In particular, the method includes extracting data, cleansing the extracted data based on a master record, receiving approval for the cleansed data, and migrating the approved data into the new system.04-05-2012
20120084357OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT USING COMMUNICATIONS AND COLLABORATION PLATFORM - A collaboration service operation method provides an efficient and flexible method for operating services implemented across multiple systems. In particular, the method includes determining a change in a master record, and determining the nature of the change. Based on the nature of the change, the method further determines services to be implemented according to business rules and also determines to which systems the services will be implemented.04-05-2012

20090259947SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING A PLURALITY OF ASSOCIATED ITEMS IN A COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT - A system is described for displaying a plurality of associated items in a collaborative environment. The system may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store items, each item associated with another item. The processor may provide the graphical representation of the items to a user where each item is represented by a shape. The processor may receive a request to associate a first metric of the items with a size of each shape and a request to associate a second metric of the items with a color of each shape. The processor may transform the graphical representation such that the size of each shape is based on the value of the first metric of each item, and the color of each shape is based on the value of the second metric of each item. The processor may provide the transformed graphical representation to the user.10-15-2009
20090282346SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT - A system is described for managing a collaborative environment. The system may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store items provided by users in a collaborative environment. Each item may be related to at least one other item. The processor may identify the collaborative environment and may receive a request from a user to flag an item in the collaborative environment. The request may include a reason for flagging the item and a description of the reason. The processor may determine a priority level of a plurality of priority levels for handling the item based at least on the reason. Each priority level may be associated with an action to be performed on the item. The processor may perform the action associated with the determined priority level.11-12-2009

20100211959ADAPTIVE CLUSTER TIMER MANAGER - Described herein are techniques for adaptively managing timers that are used in various layers of a node. In many cases, the number of timers that occur in the system is reduced by proactively and reactively adjusting values of the timers based on conditions affecting the system, thereby making such a system to perform significantly better and more resiliently than otherwise.08-19-2010
20110067008TECHNIQUES FOR ADAPTIVE TRACE LOGGING - Techniques for adaptive trace logging include, in one embodiment, obtaining input data on trace logging behavior and computing resources used by trace logging. Based on the obtained input data, an adaptive trace logging module automatically takes action at runtime to reduce the amount of computing resources consumed by tracing logging. For example, the action taken may include decreasing a trace logging level of an executing software program to reduce the number of trace logging messages added to a trace log. In another embodiment, the techniques include detecting a condition of an executing software program that warrants a change to a trace logging level of the executing program. The adaptive trace logging module automatically changes the trace logging level of the executing program as-needed for the detected condition. For example, the adaptive trace logging module may increase the trace logging level of an executing program upon detecting a deadlock or other abnormal condition of the executing program. By automatically increasing the trace logging level upon detecting an abnormal condition, additional trace logging messages may be written to a trace log aiding diagnosis and troubleshooting of the condition.03-17-2011

20090237508METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING IMMERSIVE SURVEILLANCE - A method and apparatus for providing immersive surveillance wherein a remote security guard may monitor a scene using a variety of imagery sources that are rendered upon a model to provide a three-dimensional conceptual view of the scene. Using a view selector, the security guard may dynamically select a camera view to be displayed on his conceptual model, perform a walk through of the scene, identify moving objects and select the best view of those moving objects and so on.09-24-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100170727HYBRID-POWERED ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE USING HUMAN, ELECTRIC, AND SOLAR POWER INPUTS - The present invention is directed to a vehicle that can be powered via integrated power systems involving human pedaling, electric and solar energy, a wheel drive power transmission system for the vehicle that can also operate in reverse direction, and an integrated solar/electric power system for mobile systems. The unique design for vehicle power transmission systems enables human pedaling and electric motor to power the vehicle independently. The electric motor is powered by batteries charged by either or both household 11.0 VAC plug-in sources and the solar panels integrated to the exterior of the vehicle.07-08-2010
