| 20080301784 | Native Use Of Web Service Protocols And Claims In Server Authentication - Architecture for natively authenticating a client application to a web server via HTTP authentication. The Web Services Architecture, and more specifically, Web Services Security, is leveraged to enable legacy applications to access web services transparently to the existing legacy applications. A security support provider (SSP) is created that employs WS-* protocol to at least emulate ws-trust and ws-mex thereby enabling policy exchange via an HTTP protocol stack. Policy can be exchanged via a WWW-Authenticate header enabling legacy applications to use the WS-* family of protocols without modifying the client application. The WS-* protocols are abstracted into a generic programming interface for native client application use. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090233097 | Process Technology For Recovering Brominated Styrenic Polymers From Reaction Mixtures in Which They Are Formed and/or Converting Such Mixtures into Pellets or into Granules or Pastilles - Brominated styrenic polymer is recovered from solution in a vaporizable solvent by converting the solution in a devolatilization extruder into a brominated styrenic polymer melt or flow and a separate vapor phase comprised predominately of vaporizable solvent, recovering the melt or flow from the devolatilization extruder, and allowing or causing the melt or flow to solidify. The solidified brominated styrenic polymer can be subdivided into a powder or pelletized form. Pellets so made have improved hardness and/or crush strength properties along with reduced formation of fines. Brominated anionic styrenic polymer is preferably used in the process. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20090216376 | Group Elevator Scheduling With Advanced Traffic Information - A near-optimal scheduling method for a group of elevators uses advanced traffic information. More particularly, advanced traffic information is used to define a snapshot problem in which the objective is to improve performance for customers. To solve the snapshot problem, the objective function is transformed into a form to facilitate the decomposition of the problem into individual car subproblems. The subproblems are independently solved using a two-level formulation, with passenger to car assignment at the higher level, and the dispatching of individual cars at the lower level. Near-optimal passenger selection and individual car routing are obtained. The individual cars are then coordinated through an iterative process to arrive at a group control solution that achieves a near-optimal result for passengers. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20080314917 | Container with hinged lids and method of molding the container and assembling the hinged lids on the container in the molding process - An attached lid container has lids that are hinged to the top edges of the side walls of the container. When the lids are closed, the free edges of the lids engage one another to form a joint that interlocks the lids together. The lids are attached to the container at the hinge joints after the molding of the container and lids, while the molded parts are still in the mold press. Specifically, the lids are molded next to the container and then moved laterally to be aligned with the hinge line of the container after the mold cavity is withdrawn. Then, the ejectors push the lids out toward the container. The force of the outward movement causes the hinge parts of the lids and container to snap together. Subsequently a robot arm removes the container from the mold press with the hinged lids assembled on the container. | 12-25-2008 |
