20090231127 | Tracking a Status of a Catalyst-Driven Process Using RFIDs - A method of tracking a status of a catalytic process in a mixture incorporates the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags that have corrosive-sensitive coatings. The coatings are removable, by a corrosive in the mixture, at a rate that tracks with the rate at which a catalytic-driven process progresses. As coatings on the RFID tags are removed by the corrosive in the mixture, the digital signatures returned by the RFID tags change, in response to the corrosive damaging the RFID tags. By quantifying the number of damaged RFID tags, a determination can be made as to the progress status of the catalytic process. | 09-17-2009 |
20090231149 | Use of RFIDs to Measure Flow-Rates of Materials Flowing Through Piping - Material passing through a piping is laced with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. As the RFID tags pass an RFID sensor, which is either adjacent to or within the piping, a flow-rate of the material is determined by counting the rate at which the RFID tags pass the RFID sensor. | 09-17-2009 |
20090237250 | Using RFIDs to Detect Material Dilution - A material is laced with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags at a known concentration of RFID tags per unit of material. Subsequently, if an interrogation of the RFID tags reveals a reduced concentration of RFID tags in the material, then a conclusion is drawn that the material has been diluted. | 09-24-2009 |
20110078250 | ROUTING INCOMING MESSAGES AT A BLADE CHASSIS - A pass-through module in a blade chassis receives an incoming message that utilizes a transmission protocol from one of multiple transmission protocols. The pass-through module determines which of the multiple transmission protocols is used by the incoming message by: comparing a physical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known physical components of the multiple transmission protocols, and, if necessary, comparing a logical component of the transmission protocol used by the incoming message with known logical components of the multiple transmission protocols. The incoming message is then routed to an optimal blade that is specifically adapted to process messages that utilize the transmission protocol used by the incoming message. | 03-31-2011 |
20110106722 | COMPARING UTILITY AND WARRANTY OF SERVICES - An invention for comparing utility and warranty of services in an information (IT) stack is provided. Embodiments of this invention are directed to comparing utility and warranty of services in an information technology (IT) stack comprising a plurality of layers, at least one of the plurality of layers having a set of services. In these embodiments, a utility and warranty tool provides this capability. Specifically, the utility and warranty tool comprises a determination component configured to determine, at each layer of the IT stack, a required utility and warranty (RUW) value for each of the set of services, wherein the RUW value represents a desired solution for implementing a business process; and determine, at each layer of the IT stack, an available utility and warranty (AUW) value for each of the set of services, wherein the AUW value is a measure of an ability of each of the set of services to satisfy the RUW at each layer of the IT stack. The utility and warranty tool further comprises a comparison component configured to compare the RUW value against the AUW value at each layer of the IT stack to determine whether each of the set of services satisfies the desired solution for implementing the business process. | 05-05-2011 |
20120139697 | IDENTIFYING AND GENERATING BIOMETRIC COHORTS BASED ON BIOMETRIC SENSOR INPUT - Biometric data, which identifies a set of biometric patterns, is received from a set of biometric sensors. The biometric data is processed to form digital biometric data that identifies attributes of the biometric data. Thereafter, a biometric cohort is generated using the digital biometric data. Each member of the set of biometric cohorts shares at least one biometric attribute in common. | 06-07-2012 |
20120265365 | PROCESSOR COOLING MANAGEMENT - Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system, and a computer program product for adjusting cooling settings. The computer implemented method comprises analyzing a set of instructions of an application to determine a number of degrees by which a set of instructions will raise a temperature of at least one processor core. The computer implemented method further calculates a cooling setting for at least one cooling system for the at least one processor core. The computer implemented method adjusts the at least one cooling system based on the cooling setting. The step of analyzing the set of instructions is performed before the set of instructions is executed on the at least one processor core. The step of adjusting the at least one cooling system is performed before the set of instructions is executed on the at least one processor core. | 10-18-2012 |
20130268530 | GENERATING DEPORTMENT AND COMPORTMENT COHORTS - A computer implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates deportment and comportment cohorts. Digital sensor data comprises event metadata describes a set of events associated with an individual. Descriptive data about the individual is retrieved by data mining a combination of online sources and off-line sources. A set of conduct analysis models is selected based on event metadata and available description data. The event metadata and the description data are analyzed in the set of conduct analysis models to form a deportment and comportment cohort, where the deportment and comportment cohort comprises attributes identifying a demeanor and manner of the individual. | 10-10-2013 |
20130326372 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA ON RELATED WEBSITES - A computer-implemented method, system and/or computer program product manages data in a webpage. A processor receives an input to an input box located in a first webpage on a first network. This input is analyzed to determine whether there is match between a subject topic of the entered data and a first interest window on the first webpage, where the first interest window is reserved for data entries that are described by the subject topic. In response to a processor being unable to determine the subject topic of the entered data in the text entry box, the processor creates a new interest window in the first webpage. | 12-05-2013 |
20140056483 | IDENTIFYING AND GENERATING COLOR AND TEXTURE VIDEO COHORTS BASED ON VIDEO INPUT - A computer system generates video based cohorts. Digital video data is processed to identify a set of color and texture based attributes associated with clothing worn by a set of objects. The digital video data comprises metadata describing the set of objects. The set of color and texture based attributes are analyzed using cohort criteria to form a result. The cohort criteria specify attributes that are associated with members of a given cohort. A set of cohorts is generated based on the result. Each cohort in the set of cohorts comprises a subset of objects from the set of objects that share at least one color and texture based attribute in common. | 02-27-2014 |
