20110252282PRAGMATIC MAPPING SPECIFICATION, COMPILATION AND VALIDATION - Facilitating translation of data between object oriented programs and database storage tables. A method includes receiving user input from a user. The user input includes a plurality of parts. Each part includes a specification of a source (such as a type source), optionally a filter, and a projection. Each projection assigns values to table columns. Based on the plurality of parts received, the method includes generating one or more views. The one or more views describe relationships between model extents and database tables.10-13-2011

20090213134TOUCH SCREEN AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A selective input system and associated method is provided which tracks the motion of a pointing device over a region or area. The pointing device can be a touchpad, a mouse, a pen, or any device capable of providing two or three-dimensional location. The region or area is preferably augmented with a printed or actual keyboard/pad. Alternatively, a representation of the location of the pointing device over a virtual keyboard/pad can be dynamically shown on an associated display. The system identifies selections of items or characters by detecting parameters of motion of the pointing device, such as length of motion, a change in direction, a change in velocity, and or a lack of motion at locations that correspond to features on the keyboard/pad. The input system is preferably coupled to a text disambiguation system such as a T9® or Sloppytype™ system, to improve the accuracy and usability of the input system.08-27-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080291023RFID Discovery, Tracking, and Provisioning of Information Technology Assets - Techniques for discovery, tracking, and provisioning of information technology (IT) assets are described. In one implementation, a detection region for radio frequency identifier (RFID) signals is monitored, and any RFID signals associated with IT assets within the detection region are sensed. A detected RFID signal is analyzed to obtain identifying information regarding the IT asset. The identifying information is formatted into an event record, and the event record is stored in a memory. In alternate embodiments, the event record may be further analyzed to determine whether the IT asset complies with a policy specification associated with the IT asset, and a notification of noncompliance may be issued if the IT asset does not comply with the policy specification.11-27-2008
20110099247OBJECT-BASED COMPUTER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT - A method, system, and architecture for managing computer systems is provided. A management system employs management objects (MOs) to provide administrators the ability to intuitively express the administrative intent in an information technology (IT) environment, and to act out the administrative intent based on the information gathered by the management system. Managed elements of an IT environment, such as, by way of example, hardware components, software applications, software updates, software distribution policies, configurations, settings, etc., may be expressed as MOs. Actions, such as, by way of example, detect, install/apply, remove, remediate, enumerate, etc., may be associated with the MOs. The management system manages the computer systems by deploying the appropriate MOs and their associated actions onto the computer systems, and performing the actions on the computer systems.04-28-2011

20120036484RELATIONSHIP VISUALIZATION AND GRAPHICAL INTERACTION MODEL IN IT CLIENT MANAGEMENT - Displaying a hierarchy. A method includes identifying a set of nodes representing sites in a hierarchy. The set of nodes share one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy. The method further includes determining that the set of nodes, as a set, meet a predetermined condition. As a result of the nodes sharing the one or more common characteristics not shared by any other nodes in the hierarchy and as a result of the set meeting the predetermined condition, the method further includes aggregating at least a portion of the set of nodes. The method further includes displaying in a graphical user interface a representation of the hierarchy including displaying the aggregated portion as a single entity in the hierarchy.02-09-2012

20100251345Adaptive HTTP Authentication Scheme Selection - A method is presented for selecting an HTTP authentication scheme at a client computer. A request message is sent from the client computer to a server computer to access information on the server computer. In response, the client computer receives a response message from the server computer. The response message includes an HTTP header that includes a first scheme identifier, indicating a first HTTP authentication scheme and a second scheme identifier, indicating a second HTTP authentication scheme. If the client computer does not support the second HTTP authentication scheme, the client computer uses the first HTTP authentication scheme when sending another HTTP message to the server computer. If the client computer supports the second HTTP authentication scheme, the client computer uses the second HTTP authentication scheme when sending another HTTP message to the server computer.09-30-2010

20100251338Predictive HTTP Authentication Mode Negotiation - A client system and a server system use a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) authentication mode preference header to negotiate an HTTP authentication mode. The client system sends an HTTP request to the server system. In response to the HTTP request, the server system sends an HTTP response to the client system. The HTTP response includes an HTTP authentication mode preference header. The HTTP authentication mode preference header indicates whether a preferred HTTP authentication mode is connection-based HTTP authentication or request-based HTTP authentication. In subsequent HTTP requests to the server system, the client system uses the HTTP authentication mode indicated by the HTTP authentication mode preference header.09-30-2010

20100141039HIGH AVAILABILITY, HIGH EFFICIENCY DATA CENTER ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION - Unlike symmetric power feeds for dual-corded server environments, an asymmetrical power system for high availability environments uses an imbalanced power feed system, allowing lower cost implementation and, in some cases, reduced energy loss in the primary power supply path. One asymmetric power feed uses a direct power feed to supply normal operating power and uses a second system to supply back up power via a switched, conditioned, path with UPS and generator. Because the main power delivery is through the direct line, reliability and power loss are improved.06-10-2010
