| 20090222506 | System and method for metering and analyzing usage and performance data of a virtualized compute and network infrastructure - A method and system for metering and analyzing usage and performance data of virtualized compute and network infrastructures is disclosed. The processing functions of the metered data are divided into “processing units” that are configured to execute on a server (or plurality of interconnected servers). Each processing unit receives input from an upstream processing unit, and processes the metered data to produce output for a downstream processing unit. The types of processing units, as well as the order of the processing units is user-configurable (e.g. via XML file), thus eliminating the need to modify source code of the data processing application itself, thereby saving considerable time, money, and development resources required to manage the virtualized compute and network infrastructure. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20090187822 | SYSTEM AUDITING FOR SETUP APPLICATIONS - A verification architecture for verifying that a setup application (or installer) for installing, modifying, repairing and uninstalling an application properly deploys the desired features in complex computing environments. The extensible framework allows all facets of an API to be customized for the needs of any software product. An explorer user interface facilitates viewing and managing the data that represents the behavior of the installer in the targeted environment. The explorer allows the user to make changes either on a single item or a large number of items all at once. The explorer can display the differences between two different executions of the tool, and then allow the user to view each individual difference and update the expected behavior in the environment based on the data presented. This solution applies to businesses that plan on releasing a software product which include multiple configurations and/or is intended to deploy on multiple platforms. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20080197002 | DOME SHEET WITH LIGHT GUIDE FOR MEMBRANE SWITCH - In an embodiment, a membrane switch may include a flexible light guide having a first refractive index. The flexible light guide may include a first wall, an opposing second wall, and one or more additional walls. One or more of the first wall, the second wall and the additional walls may be disposed adjacent to a substance including a second refractive index that is lower than the first refractive index. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20100224473 | MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH STRUCTURE - A switch has multiple movable contacts, such as snap domes, positioned in a stacked relationship with each other. The stacked relationship may be such that the apexes of each dome point in the same orientation, or the apexes may be in an opposite orientation so that they point toward or away from each other. When the switch is initially depressed, one of the contacts forms a first electrical connection. When the switch is further depressed, a second one of the contacts forms a second electrical connection. Alternatively, multiple moveable contacts are positioned on the same plane under a single bubble of a carrier sheet. Multiple actuating elements may depress each of the domes. Adjacent domes may share common conductive traces. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20080264074 | ICE LEVEL AND QUALITY SENSING SYSTEM EMPLOYING DIGITAL IMAGING - A refrigerator includes a sensing system for detecting a level and quality of ice cubes in an ice cube storage bin. The sensing system employs a digital image capture device that is coupled to a digital image analyzing system which scans digital images of the ice cube storage bin captured by the digital image capture device to determine a level of ice cubes in the ice cube storage bin. Digital images of the ice cubes are contrasted against a reference image which provides a point of comparison for determining the level of ice cubes in the ice cube storage bin and controlling ice production cycles of the ice maker. The sensing system also analyzes edge portions of the ice cubes to determine ice cube quality. | 10-30-2008 |
