20090106252 | HTTP-Based Publish-Subscribe Service - Resources are retrieved asynchronous through the use of resource requests to a feed server. When the feed server returns an initial requested resource, a URI for a next resource is sent to the requesting subscriber. The URI for the next resource was pre-generated by the feed server before the next resource was created, thus allowing the subscriber to have a pending asynchronous resource request at the feed server. This resource request persists on the feed server until the new resource becomes available. | 04-23-2009 |
20100050156 | USING BUILD HISTORY INFORMATION TO OPTIMIZE A SOFTWARE BUILD PROCESS - Methods and systems for optimizing a build order of component source modules comprises creating a dependency graph based on dependency information. Historical build information associated with previous build failures is then used to calculate relative failure factors for paths of the dependency graph; and the relative failure factors are used to determine an order of traversal of the dependency graph during a build process in which component binary modules are built from the component source modules. | 02-25-2010 |
20110252462 | Authenticating a Remote Host to a Firewall - A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for authenticating a remote host to a firewall. The illustrative embodiments allow a requesting host separated from a target host by a firewall to determine, based on exception handling code, that an original request sent to the target host has been intercepted and blocked by the firewall. The illustrative embodiments also allow the requesting host to automatically provide credentials that authenticate the requesting host to the firewall. The illustrative embodiments are particularly applicable in situations when requests are invoked without any user interaction, such as when a timer expires. In such a case, there is no user to provide the needed credentials to authenticate the requesting host. The illustrative embodiments enable a requesting host to access a target host without requiring user intervention. | 10-13-2011 |
20110258679 | Method and System for Accessing Network Feed Entries - A security mechanism for an application level protocol used to publish and edit web resources is extended to enable enforcement of a security policy on feed entries. The security mechanism ensures that only a certain class of privileged users can perform create, read, update and/or delete (CRUD) actions on feed entries, and it provides a uniform methodology for determining security access controls for resources. The techniques described herein enable selectively display of feed entries while at the same time maintaining a single document source for the privileged users. | 10-20-2011 |
20120005659 | DEBUGGING WORKFLOWS - Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to a debugging system (“system”) configured to access a work flow document. The workflow document may include references to flow activities connected by flow connectors, forming a workflow path. Some of the flow connectors may have breakpoints. The debugging system can insert command instructions for a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request into the workflow document at locations associated with the flow connectors and initiate a test run of the workflow path. In some embodiments, during the test run, when one of the flow connectors is reached, the system executes the command instructions for the HTTP request, sending the HTTP request to a debugger application (“debugger”). If a breakpoint is associated with the flow connector, the debugger can delay response to the HTTP request, otherwise the debugger can respond immediately. A user can debug the workflow document during the delay. | 01-05-2012 |

20150028094 | INTEGRATED SUBLIMATION TRANSFER PRINTING APPARATUS - A safe, integrated dye sublimation transfer printer apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to print one or more images onto transfer media, then align the transfer media onto a substrate. A selected product to receive the sublimated image is positioned on top of the transfer media, and one or more heating platens then engage the transfer media to sublimate the image. The heating platen is configured to sublimate one or more opposing sides of a product substantially simultaneously in a single thermal cycle. In some embodiments, the apparatus may be incorporated into a fully-enclosed vending machine to provide on-demand personalized sublimated products and accessories for a consumer. | 01-29-2015 |
20150029285 | AUTOMATIC SUBLIMATED PRODUCT CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM AND PROCESS - An automatic product sublimation process is disclosed allowing for point-of-sale customization of sublimation parameters in a retail environment. A dye sublimation transfer printing system is configured to print one or more images onto transfer media, then position the media onto a substrate. A selected product is positioned on top of the media. The system is configured to automatically determine, by a processor, one or more of a temperature and duration of a single thermal cycle to sublimate the one or more images onto the selected product. The determination may be based on properties of the product, characteristics of the images, or both. One or more heating platens engage the transfer media to sublimate the product in a single thermal cycle, wherein at least one of the cycle's temperature and duration match the determined values. The disclosed process improves the quality of the sublimation technique, yet requires no substantive operator training. | 01-29-2015 |
20150029288 | SINGLE HEATING PLATEN DOUBLE-SIDED SUBLIMATION PRINTING PROCESS AND APPARATUS - A process and apparatus for sublimating printed images onto two or more sides of a product simultaneously using a single heating platen are disclosed. The apparatus is configured to print one or more images onto transfer media, then position the transfer media onto a substrate. A product to receive the sublimated image is positioned on top of the transfer media, and the apparatus manipulates the transfer media to substantially surround the product and place at least one image onto each side of the product to be sublimated. A single heating platen then engages the transfer media to sublimate the image. The heating platen is configured, using a control, to sublimate opposing sides of a product substantially simultaneously in a single thermal cycle. | 01-29-2015 |
20150032528 | AUTOMATED SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE ARTICLE SUBLIMATION PRINTING PROCESS AND APPARATUS - A process and apparatus for sublimating printed images onto two or more products substantially simultaneously are disclosed. Software components are configured to receive input of a desired number of products to sublimate, and then determine a spatial arrangement of the printed images on transfer media to sublimate the desired number of products substantially simultaneously. The apparatus is configured to print the images onto the media according to the spatial arrangement, then position the media onto a substrate. The products are automatically placed on the media proximate to their corresponding printed images. The apparatus manipulates the media to substantially surround the products and places at least one image onto each side of each product to be sublimated. One or more heating platens engage the media to sublimate the images. The heating platens are configured, using a control, to sublimate multiple products substantially simultaneously in a single thermal cycle. | 01-29-2015 |
