Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080238925System and method for representation of business information - A system and method generates a map representation of information from a BI (business intelligence) application. The BI information is used to generate map data, which in turn is used to generate a map representation. The system and method are arranged to generate the same thematics in a representation as provided by BI application. For example, if the BI information is information on crime in a particular area, the map representation will present the same theme in a spatial frame of reference, using similar metadata (thematic data) to express the theme on the map representation.10-02-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080220715Controlling Use Of Devices In Large Restricted Areas - A usage specification device is used to limit the use of information signals (audio, image, data) and to limit the output of disturbing signals (speaker, flash, light, RF transmission) in several devices in a large restricted area. For example, the usage specification device may transmit a certain type of control signal to disable image capture by camera-equipped portable/mobile devices, or it may transmit other types of control signals to disable audio capture or data capture by such devices. Similarly, the specification device may transmit a certain type of control signal to reduce the speaker volume on portable/mobile devices, or it may transmit other types of control signals to disable the flash, or minimize the intensity of light emitted by the display or restrict the transmission of RF signals from such devices. Due to such features, only undesirable features of portable/mobile devices may be prevented in restricted areas, while permitting other uses. According to another aspect, the device can be scanned by an external scanner for a built-in code, with the code indicating the specific type of capabilities the device has and the specific type of usage controls supported by the device. Accordingly, the owner of a premises may first scan a device to determine the specific capabilities and control features supported before permitting the device to be carried into the premises.09-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090238277Processing Video Data At A Target Rate - A system comprising a processor and a compression module coupled to the processor. The compression module is adapted to perform motion estimation on video data using an algorithm, the motion estimation performed at a rate. If the processor determines a difference between the rate and a target rate, the processor adjusts a precision level of the algorithm such that the difference is decreased.09-24-2009

Michael C. Meehan, Derbyshire GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110238935Systems and/or methods for distributed data archiving - Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to system and/or methods that pair a data extractor with a data accumulator, wherein these components may be located on any one or more computers in a network system. This distributed peer extract-accumulate approach is advantageous in that it reduces (and sometimes completely eliminates) the need for a “funnel” approach to data archiving, wherein all data is moved or backed up through a central computer or central computer system. In certain example embodiments, recall-accumulate, search, verify, and/or other archive-related activities may be performed in a similar peer-based and/or distributed manner. Certain example embodiments may in addition or in the alternative incorporate techniques for verifying the integrity of data in an archive system, and/or techniques for restoring/importing data from a non-consumable form.09-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090164197METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING OVERLAPPING PATHS IN A LOGICAL MODEL TO THEIR PHYSICAL EQUIVALENT BASED ON TRANSFORMATION RULES AND LIMITED TRACEABILITY - A method for transforming paths in a logical model to their physical equivalent in a physical model is provided. A logical model is retrieved. All entities in the logical model are mapped. All paths connecting the entities of the logical model are mapped. Tables are created that correspond to the entities in the logical model for traceability. Columns are created that correspond to attributes of the paths in the logical model for traceability. A reduced logical model is created by reducing overlapping paths in the logical model. Virtual logic paths are created where an entity is rolled up, is rolled down, or participates in a many-to-many relationship in the reduced logical model. The reduced logical model is transformed into a physical model.06-25-2009
