20090271158	ARCHITECTURE FOR AUTOMATING ANALYTICAL VIEW OF BUSINESS APPLICATIONS - The present invention provides an architecture for obtaining an analytical view of data. The invention includes a model service component for receiving an indication of a first object model and generating a dimensional model and a second object model from the first object model. The second object model is analytical in that it preserves relationships identified in the dimensional model, but allows the user to obtain information in terms of objects instead of specifying the data in terms of the dimensional model. The architecture also includes a navigational component that allows a user to navigate from the second object model to underlying data represented by the first object model.	10-29-2009

20090222833	CODELESS PROVISIONING SYNC RULES - Managing resources. A computing environment may include a resource manager. The resource manager includes programmatic code for managing resources. Expected rule entries are added to an expected rules list. Each of the expected rule entries includes: an indicator used to identify a synchronization rule, a definition of flow type, a specification of an object type in the resource manager to which the synchronization rule applies, a specification of a downstream resource system, a specification of an object type in the downstream resource system to which the synchronization rule applies, a specification of relationship criteria including one or more conditions for linking objects in the resource manager and the downstream resource system, and a specification of attribute flow information. Objects in downstream resource systems can be synchronized with objects in the resource manager based on the expected rule entries in the expected rules list.	09-03-2009
20090222834	CODELESS PROVISIONING - Managing resources. A resource manager includes programmatic code for managing resources in the computing environment. Resources available from resource systems within the computing environment are managed. Methods may include receiving user input indicating one or more of that a new entity should be added to the resource manager, that an entity represented by an entity object of the resource manager should have permissions removed at the resource manager, or that an entity represented by an entity object of the resource manager should have permissions added at the resource manager. In response to receiving user input, events may be generated and objects created or removed from the resource manager for from downstream resource systems. The events may specify workflows that should be executed to perform synchronization between objects at the resource manager and objects at a downstream resource system by adding or changing rules in an expected rules list.	09-03-2009

20090158371	System and Method for Communicating Among Multicast Transceivers - A group identifier can be used to assign blocks of addresses to the various groups of transmitters and receivers communicating on a single wired LAN. For example, a form-based control (e.g., a text entry box, a radio button, a drop-down box, a list box or a combo box) can be provided in a form controlled by a web server internal to the transmitter. The form enables a configuring user to specify to which of multiple (e.g., 4) groups a transmitter and its receivers (e.g., specified by MAC address) are going to belong. The transmitter thereafter can select its own IP address (based on the group number) and the known range of IP addresses available for its receivers. Once the IP addresses have been assigned to the transmitter and receivers, the transmitter can send (1) control data to the receivers at their receiver-specific IP addresses and (2) AV data to their multicast address.	06-18-2009
20090241148	System and Method for Regulating Bandwidth in a Multicast Video Transmission System - A video transmitter can adaptively alter its transmission rate to plural receivers which receive video via multicast transmission. While the transmitter is initially in the “no tuning state,” the need for a video tune-up state change can be determined by calculating if the current generated A/V retry transmission rate is greater than the video tune-up start threshold and if it was triggered more than the video tune-up interval ago. If so, then the state can be set to “tuning up” and the retransmission rate can be increased by the video tune-up step, as shown in FIG.	09-24-2009

20100287584	PARENTAL CONTROL FOR MEDIA PLAYBACK - Embodiments related to the parental control of media item playback are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computing device is configured to receive an input of unified parental control information that comprises a selection of an age to which to compare a rating of a media item. The computing device is further configured to receive a first media item and a second media item that are rated under different first and second rating systems, and to receive ratings information associated with each media item. The computing device is further configured to compare the ratings information for each media item to the unified parental control information, and to restrict playback of the first and/or second media item if the unified parental control information meets a threshold condition compared to the ratings information associated with the first and/or second media item.	11-11-2010

20090328032	PROJECTING SOFTWARE AND DATA ONTO CLIENT - A software application written for a server environment is transformed into one which runs in a rich client environment. An entity model defines data sources as they are accessed from the server and as they are accessed from the clients. An application programming interface defines stereotyped interfaces which provide the same functionality on the server and the clients. A metadata model describes the components which make up the application and defines the differences in structure between the server and clients. The metadata model also defines mappings between components used on the server and clients. Settings and context information which tailor the activation and functionality of the components is also captured in the metadata model. Automated transformation is performed by using the mappings to identify the component set to use for the clients, selecting the client version of the application programming interfaces, and selecting the appropriate settings and context information.	12-31-2009
