| 20080266733 | Circuit Testing Closer Apparatus and Method With In-Rush Current Awareness - A circuit testing closer is capable of closing a power distribution circuit and interrupting the resulting current at the next current zero. Upon detecting a fault, the circuit testing closer is operable to open contacts to isolate the fault. Next, the circuit testing closer tests the faulted line to determine whether the fault has cleared. The circuit testing closer may generate a first test signal having a first polarity and a second test signal having a second polarity opposite the first polarity. Generation of the second test signal may be limited to occur when the first test signal indicates a fault. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100296215 | Circuit Testing Closer Apparatus and Method with Dynamic Test Thresholds - A circuit testing closer is capable of closing a power distribution circuit and interrupting the resulting current at the next current zero. Upon detecting a fault, the circuit testing closer is operable to open contacts to isolate the fault. Next, the circuit testing closer tests the faulted line to determine whether the fault has cleared. The circuit testing closer may employ one or more dynamic thresholds to determine the existence of a fault. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20100070560 | Implementing a Java Server in a Multiprocessor Environment - A method for utilizing multiple servers begins by selecting a program to be run on one of a plurality of servers and selecting one server to run the program. A virtual machine is instantiated on the selected server and the program is run on the virtual machine. A method for utilizing multiple processors begins by initializing a virtual machine on a server and running a program on the virtual machine. Task requests are sent from the program to a control process on a host environment. The control process initializes a worker thread for each task request. Each worker thread is run on a different processor on the host environment. In one embodiment, the server is a Java server and the virtual machine is a Java virtual machine. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20110179158 | FINE-GRAINED LOCATION DETERMINATION OF NETWORKED COMPUTERS - Location of a communication network subscriber is determined employing confidence metrics such as remote vs. local computer usage, primary user in a multi-user computing environment, likelihood of forgery, and comparable ones. A fine-grained location determination is then made based on the metric results and directory information for the particular subscriber such that services like emergency services can be provided with accurate location information. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20100318799 | DISCOVERY OF SECURE NETWORK ENCLAVES - A hierarchical key generation and distribution mechanism for a computer system in which devices are organized into secure enclaves. The mechanism enables network access to be tailored to approximate minimum needed privileges for each device. At the lowest level of the hierarchy, keys are used to form security associations between devices. Keys at each level of the hierarchy are generated from keys at a higher level of the hierarchy and key derivation information. Key derivation information is readily ascertainable, either from identifiers for devices or from within messages, supporting hardware offload of cryptographic functions. Because keys may be generated based on the enclaves in which the hosts participating in a security association are located, the system includes a mechanism by which devices can discover the enclave in which they are located. | 12-16-2010 |
