20090300605	VIRTUAL COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system has a virtual overlay infrastructure mapped onto physical resources for processing, storage and network communications, the virtual infrastructure having virtual entities for processing, storage and network communications. Each virtual infrastructure can be passivated by suspending applications, stopping operating systems, and storing state, to enable later reactivation. This is simpler for a complete virtual infrastructure than for groups of virtual entities and physical entities. It enables cloned virtual infrastructure to be created for testing, upgrading or sharing without risk to the parent. On failure, reversion to a previous working clone is feasible.	12-03-2009

20090241108	VIRTUAL COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE - A system has a virtual overlay infrastructure mapped onto physical resources for processing, storage and network communications, the virtual infrastructure having virtual entities for processing, storage and network communications. Virtual infrastructures of different users share physical resources but are isolated. Each infrastructure has its own infrastructure controller to create and configure the infrastructure. It has a user accessible part (CFC) for configuration of that user's infrastructure, and a user inaccessible part (UFC) able to access the mapping and the physical resources. This increases user control to ease system administration, while maintaining security by limiting access to the mapping.	09-24-2009
20100082991	TRUSTED KEY MANAGEMENT FOR VIRTUALIZED PLATFORMS - To provide a secure service to an application virtual machine running in a first domain of a virtualized computing platform, a second domain is arranged to run a corresponding service driver exclusively for the application virtual machine. As part of the secure service, the service driver effects a key-based cryptographic operation; to do so, the service driver has to obtain the appropriate key from a key manager. The key manager is arranged to store the key and to release it to the service driver only upon receiving evidence of its identity and being satisfied of compliance with release policies associated with the key. These policies include receipt of valid integrity metrics, signed by trusted-device functionality of the virtualized computing platform, for the service driver and the code on which it depends.	04-01-2010

20140354646	SHADER WITH GLOBAL AND INSTRUCTION CACHES - An instruction cache and data cache used to virtualize the storage of global data and instructions used by graphics shaders. Present day hardware design stores the global data and instructions used by the shaders in a fixed amount of registers or writable control store (WCS). However, this traditional approach limits the size and the complexity of the shaders that can be supported. By virtualizing the storage of the global data and instructions, the amount of global or state memory available to the shader and the length of the shading programs are no longer constrained by the physical on-chip memory.	12-04-2014

20110134421	APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RAMAN SIGNAL DETECTION - Raman band detection apparatus illuminates a sample using an illumination source that oscillates in wavelength over a range. The source might for example switch between two wavelengths or might traverse the wavelength range. A wavelength sensitive detector detects radiation emitted by the sample at a series of different wavelengths and a signal processor extracts signals that have a temporal correspondence to the wavelength variation of the illumination at the different wavelengths. One or more Raman bands that might be present will produce a distinctive characteristic of the extracted signals plotted against a spectral axis and relatively simple processing of these spectrally-related time-varying components can then enhance the appearance of the Raman band in a spectral representation based on the processed components. For example, such processing might comprise numerical integration across a spectral plot of the components, or the selection and shifting of certain components, for instance negative components, to overlie others within portions of the spectral representation showing the presence of the Raman band.	06-09-2011

The method also includes determining whether or not a method exists in memory for the mock object corresponding to the method name. Finally, the method includes invoking an exception handler for the mock object outputting error text indicating a non-presence of a method associated with the method name responsive to a method by the method name not existing in the memory for the mock object, but otherwise invoking a method that exists in the memory of the mock object corresponding to the method name.	11-26-2015

20120304151	REALTIME TRACKING OF SOFTWARE COMPONENTS - The disclosure is for run-time accessing a software component is provided, together with a computer system embodying the same, and a software utility directing the method. Initially a software component is loaded and analysed to identify one or more features thereof, which features are checked against a database. Following the check, the component is classified as one of at least first, second, and third component types. A first component type is run without amendment. A second component type is replaced by a component of equivalent functionality prior to running. A third component type is blocked from running.	11-29-2012

20140059044	NODE VALIDATION IN A NETWORK - A method of operating a network of connected nodes comprises the steps of maintaining a trust value for each node in the network, maintaining one or more attributes for each node in the network, each attribute comprising a value and a respective confidence level, and performing a validation of a specific attribute of a specific node. The validation comprises the steps of querying nodes connected to the specific node for specific attribute values for the specific node, creating a results set from the returned attribute values from the connected nodes and the trust values of the connected nodes, and processing the results set according to a predefined algorithm to determine a new value and/or a new confidence level for the specific attribute of the specific node.	02-27-2014

20150356069	VALIDATING AN XML DOCUMENT - At least one XML document to be validated is parsed, and XML data in the at least one XML document is represented as data objects in at least one data object model in a memory. At least one rule document is parsed and a rule object model that includes rule objects is created in the memory. At least part of the data objects are extracted from the at least one data object model and at least part of rule objects are extracted from the rule object model. Partial validation is performed in a corresponding execution context that validates the extracted at least part of the data objects based upon the extracted at least part of the rule objects.	12-10-2015

20090216801	Service Registry Document Loader - A method, system and computer program product comprising: locating an import target statement in a service document; locating a generic object associated with the service document; locating import target references; loading, when a unique import target reference is located, the located target object into an address in the repository; and resolving the source document target reference to point at this address.	08-27-2009
20100235821	STORING AND LOADING SERVER-SIDE APPLICATION EXTENSIONS IN A CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT - A method, system and computer program product for enabling a class loader of a Java virtual machine to load JAVA class and resource data from within a registry/repository application. The JAVA class and resource data is loaded from within a registry/repository application that includes a database which stores one or more JAR files; whereby, the JAR files contain a user-written plug-in code and resources. The user-written plug-in code and resources are dynamically modified when modifications to one or more stored JAR files are received. The JAR files are rebuilt in a location outside of the registry/repository development environment.	09-16-2010
