20110153457 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PURCHASING VIA A CELLULAR SYSTEM - A purchasing capability is provided for supporting purchasing by a customer from an establishment, which may include functions such as placement of orders, processing of orders, and like functions. An order is placed from a mobile node (MN) of the customer to an application server (AS) of the establishment to which the order is placed. The AS may process the order for determining whether or not to accept the order and, where accepted, for completing the order. A payment commitment verification process may be used for verifying the commitment of the customer to pay for the order. The placement and processing of the order may be performed using an ordering application supported by the MN and the AS. The communication in support of the purchasing capability may be facilitated using a cellular serving node (CSN) configured for communicating with both the MN and the AS wirelessly. The communication between the MS and AS for the purchasing capability may be via an always-on connection established between the MN and the AS. | 06-23-2011 |

20110119378 | Managing Virtual Business Instances Within a Computer Network - Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for orchestrating a business process in a computer network. A script describing a business process is received from a client machine over the computer network. The script is compiled into executable program instructions. A reference to the script and data to be operated on by the script is received from the client machine over the computer network. The data is processed in accordance with the script. The result of the data processing is returned to the client machine over the computer network. | 05-19-2011 |

20120314599 | Methods and Apparatus for Using a Layered Gear to Analyze and Manage Real-time Network Quality of Service Transmission for Mobile Devices on Public Networks - Methods and apparatus for providing layered gear mechanism to analyze network loss and latency conditions includes bundling data into data packets of varying depths, at a source with data packets of each depth belonging to a particular data type. The data packets of varying depths are transmitted in layers over a network, to a destination. Information for the transmitted data packets for each layer is collected constantly and analyzed as the data progresses along the network to identify corresponding network transmission characteristics. The transmission of subsequent data packets for anyone of the layers is adjusted based on the network transmission characteristics. The adjusting is repeated one or more times based on the analyzed information for the transmitted data packets. The transition metrics for each layer is utilized for relative analysis of transmission metrics across the layers to set the adjusting. | 12-13-2012 |
20120317493 | Methods and System for Locally Generated Gesture and Transition Graphics Interaction with Terminal Control Services - Methods and system for enabling locally generated transition graphics interaction with virtualized host computer service includes receiving a control command issued by a user to control screen data currently being rendered at the display device, at a display device of a client device. The control command is transmitted to the host computer service for processing. The host computer service processes the control command and returns updated screen data to the client device. In response to the receipt of the updated screen data, the client device identifies a desired screen effect associated with the control command. The updated screen data received from the host computer service is packaged at the client device with data associated with the desired screen effect to generate a visual response at the client device. The packaged screen effect is returned to the display device for rendering, in response to the control command. | 12-13-2012 |
20140254376 | Methods and Apparatus for Using a Layered Gear to Analyze and Manage Real-Time Network Quality of Service Transmission for Mobile Devices on Public Networks - Methods for providing layered gear mechanism to enable optimal transmission of data packets includes identifying types of data that are scheduled for transmission over a network. Data packets are generated at different depths for a particular type of data identified for transmission, wherein the data packets are generated at a source. The data packets of different depths are transmitted in different layers over a network, to a destination, wherein each layer of data packets corresponds to a specific depth. Response for the data packets transmitted in each layer is collected from the network as the data packets progress along the network. The response is analyzed to identify network transmission characteristics for each layer. A depth is selected for transmitting subsequent data packets for the particular data type based on the network transmission characteristics obtained through the analysis. | 09-11-2014 |

20140265077 | Negative Spring Compensation for Elastomeric Bearing Torque - Elastomeric bearings exhibit a reactive positive spring effect, i.e., they produce an opposing torque or force when angular displacement or translation is applied upon them, due to shear stress developed within their elastomer parts. The present invention incorporates a device that exhibits an increasingly strong torque or force in the same direction as the displacement, i.e., a negative spring, under similar conditions of movement. When properly calibrated, the subject type of device can be used in paralleled motion with the ordinary reactive elastomeric bearing to produce a combined effect in which at least a part of the torque or force of the elastomeric bearing is changed or minimized over a range of movement. | 09-18-2014 |
