20120072252 | TALENT MANAGEMENT DASHBOARD - A dashboard is developed to assess the ability of workers in an organization to accomplish one or more goals of the organization. The dashboard permits defining one or more competencies employees in the organization are required to have, and defining a skill set for each competency. Each skill set has one or more skills the employees are required to have to carry out each competency. Each skill under each competency for each employee is rated according to degree of experience in that skill. A discrete skill level in each competency for each of the employees is determined or calculated from the above rating information. Once the rating information is processed, the information can be instantaneously displayed in various viewing formats to give a snapshot look at the breadth of skill in the organization. | 03-22-2012 |

20140068754 | PASSWORD GENERATION AND RECALL - The invention provides the ability to produce long, complex passwords from simple, easy to recall, pictorial selections. The invention features a picture based interface unit, linked to a series of individual process modules. Selecting images contained in the image selection module generates a reference pointer corresponding to coordinates in the reference pointer of the control module which thereby generates a rotor sequence that is passed to the password generator module containing ASCII characters groups. The character groups are processed according to the rotor sequence contents to produce a password that is displayed in a display module for editing and/or use. | 03-06-2014 |

20140280657 | PRIORITIZED AND CONTEXTUAL DISPLAY OF AGGREGATED ACCOUNT NOTIFICATIONS - Systems and methods of providing notifications are described herein. A user account for which a request to provide content is received is identified. Responsive to identifying the user account and the content requested, one or more notifications to be provided along with the requested content is identified. Each of the notifications has a corresponding notification type identifier that indicates a type of notification. A priority level for each of the notifications is determined responsive to a global prioritization policy and the corresponding notification type identifier. The priority level for each of the notifications can be determined by identifying the notification type identifier for each notification, identifying a priority level that matches the notification type identifier and assigning the notification the identified priority level. | 09-18-2014 |
