| 20120278256 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INVESTING IN CREDIT FACILITY AND FOR CALCULATING FEE DISTRIBUTIONS - Disclosed is a computer implemented system by which investors may allocate securities to a Fund where they are used as collateral for offers of credit given by the Fund to borrowers. The value of each investor's Segregated Securities relative to the total Fund value determines the investor's percentage ownership in the Fund. In exchange for offers of credit, the Fund receives incremental Credit Facility Fees, which are paid out to investors as dividends in proportion to their percentage of ownership. The portion of the investor's Segregated Securities committed as collateral to a credit commitment determines the investor's percentage of commitment in the Fund. The Segregated Securities of each investor are managed by the investor or a third party manager at the investor's direction, even while segregated. Therefore, the real-time cash value of the Fund, ownership percentage, and commitments of each investor can change and are calculated by a computer system. | 11-01-2012 |

| 20100308532 | CALCULATION OF CORRECTION FACTORS FOR LEAD EDGE SENSOR MEASUREMENT IN DUPLEX REGISTRATION - A method and system for insuring printing accuracy in simplex imaging or duplex imaging, including a media sheet in a media path adapted to move the media sheet through the system. The media path includes sensors and a datum. The sensors include a leading edge sensor and a trailing edge sensor adapted to record the time of arrival of the edge. The edge arrival time difference is determined between the arrival time of the edge using output from the trailing edge sensor and the arrival time of the edge using output from the leading edge sensor. A correction factor is based upon the time difference. The time of arrival of the media sheet at the datum is determined using the correction factor to align items printed on both side of the media sheet. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20120192133 | LOGIC DESIGN VERIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR LIVENESS CHECKING WITH RETIMING - A technique for verification of a retimed logic design using liveness checking includes assigning a liveness gate to a liveness property for an original netlist and assigning a fairness gate to a fairness constraint for the original netlist. In this case, the fairness gate is associated with the liveness gate and is asserted for at least one time-step during any valid behavioral loop associated with the liveness gate. The original netlist is retimed, using a retiming engine, to provide a retimed netlist. The liveness and fairness gates of the retimed netlist are retimed such that a lag of the fairness gate is no greater than a lag of the liveness gate. Verification analysis is then performed on the retimed netlist. Finally, when the verification analysis yields a valid counter-example trace for the retimed netlist, a liveness violation for the original netlist is returned. | 07-26-2012 |

| 20090269058 | System and Method for Self-Generation of Reference Signals - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for determining properties of optical links using the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of integrated amplifiers. To calibrate the system, existing amplifiers in the nodes of the system can be operated in an ASE mode. A bypass switch at the mid-stage of each amplifier routes the ASE from the amplifier's first stage into one or more signal processing components, creating reference signals. Subsequently, the bypass switch routes the reference signals back into the mid-stage of the amplifier. After propagating through a link to the next node in the system, the optical parameters of the reference signals are measured and used to determine properties of the link, such as chromatic dispersion and attenuation. Tunable devices within the two nodes connected by the link may be set to compensate for specific properties of the link, thereby improving the quality of transmitted signals. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20100284701 | System And Method For Tunable Chromatic Dispersion Compensation - One embodiment sets forth a technique for measuring chromatic dispersion using reference signals within the operational range of amplifiers used to refresh data signals. One red/blue laser pair in the transmission node is used for measuring dispersion and chromatic dispersion compensation is added at each line node in the system. Since reference and data signals propagate through each amplifier, the reference signals used to measure chromatic dispersion receive the same dispersion compensation (and will have the same residual dispersion) as the data signals. Therefore, any residual dispersion in the data signals will manifest itself in downstream dispersion measurements and, thus, can be corrected. The tunable dispersion compensator in each line node may be set to compensate for the measured dispersion, thereby compensating for both the chromatic dispersion of the link connecting the current node to the prior node and any uncorrected residual dispersion from prior nodes. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20120072260 | PREDICTING SUCCESS OF A PROPOSED PROJECT - A computer implemented method, system, and/or computer program product predicts a success of a currently proposed project. Responsive answers to a survey questionnaire for a currently proposed project are received and used to create a predicted success score for the currently proposed project, based on a pattern of responsive answers to a predetermined combination of questions from the survey questionnaire. The predicted success score for the currently proposed project is compared with and matched to actual success scores from prior projects. If the percentage of prior projects that retained their success scores through completion exceeds a predetermined accuracy threshold, then the currently proposed project is approved for implementation. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20120095800 | PREDICTING FINANCIAL STATUS OF A PROJECT - A computer implemented method, system, and/or computer program product predicts the profitability of a current project. Historical data from the current project represents profit data points at predetermined intervals of time during the current project. If a linear regression model of the historical data does not adequately describe the historical data, then a polynomial regression model to describe the historical data is generated. If the polynomial model does not adequately describe the historical data, then another project that is similar to the current project is located. This other project has its own set of historical data. If the historical data from the other project fits the polynomial regression model created from the historical data of the current project, then the polynomial regression model is trusted to accurately predict the profitability of the current project, even though the current project's historical data did not adequately fit the polynomial regression model. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120136694 | TRANSITION PHASE TROUBLE DETECTION IN SERVICES DELIVERY MANAGEMENT - A method, system, and/or computer program product predicts trouble during a transition phase of a current project. Past operational data and past trouble data for past healthy projects and past troubled projects before transition phases is collected. A trouble correlation between the past operational data and the past trouble data is then determined. A set of key metrics that describes a current health of a current project before transitioning from a current phase to a future phase is defined, and values of the set of key metrics for the current project are identified. Identified values of the set of key metrics for the current project are compared to the past operational data for past healthy and troubled projects in order to generate a pattern comparison. This pattern comparison, along with the trouble correlation, is used to generate a predicted quality of transition for the current project. | 05-31-2012 |
