20090112966ASSIGNMENT OF APPLICATION MODULESTO DEPLOYMENT TARGETS - A distributed application deployment engine uses declarative deployment data that describes deployment characteristics for application modules, and potential target environments. The engine uses the deployment data to potentially match a module to a deployment target. At some point, the modules may then be actually deployed on the identified deployment target. This may be performed for multiple modules in the distributed application, thereby deploying the distributed application in a distributed environment.04-30-2009
20090113327USER INTERFACE MAPPING MODULES TO DEPLOYMENT TARGETS - An interactive user interface for displaying mappings between modules of a distributed application and deployment targets in a distributed environment. The user interface represents module items, deployment target items, and correlation items that represent various mappings of module items to deployment target items. In some cases, the manner in which each of these items is displayed may be altered in response to user input. The correlation itself may also be potentially altered in response to user input. Multiple solutions may be displayed in which there are different mappings of modules to target solutions.04-30-2009

20090217378Boot Time Remediation of Malware - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to removing malware from a computer system. In aspects, an anti-malware engine detects malware and writes a tool onto a storage device. The anti-malware engine disguises the tool to make it more difficult for malware to detect that the tool is on the storage device. In addition, the anti-malware engine encrypts and writes remediation actions to be taken by the tool to the storage device and requests that the computer reboot. After rebooting, the computer executes the tool which takes the remediation actions including removing the malware.08-27-2009

20100273470AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL IN A PERSONAL NAVIGATION DEVICE - In one example, a Bluetooth enabled navigation device pairs with a mobile phone and then sends a plurality of tuning transmissions, each at a different transmission power gain amount, to a remote server using the mobile phone. These tuning transmissions are encoded using frequency tones that synthesize speech for transmission through the mobile phone and a voice channel of its wireless telecommunications network. The navigation device then tunes transmit power settings according to a received response to the tuning transmissions and uses the tuned transmit power settings for subsequent transmission to the remote server using this particular mobile phone.10-28-2010

20100000280EXPANDABLE MEMBER WITH WAVE INHIBITOR AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - A member has a wave inhibitor adapted to control the effects of a wave of longitudinally displaced material positioned ahead of an expansion mandrel used to expand the member. The wave inhibitor has a decreasing transverse cross-sectional area to diminish the effects attributable to the wave, such as workpiece distortions, material upset of the workpiece, lengthening of the member, and excessively high strains in the workpiece. The wave inhibitor can also induce radially compressive stresses in the workpiece and produce an interference fit.01-07-2010
