20080209255 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE SERVICE AND SUPPORT OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS - The invention describes an end-user-initiated method and system for managing failure in a host computing system. The embodiments of the invention describe an embedded management/diagnostics system that operates independently from the failed computing system and includes the locating and connecting of an appropriate technical service provider for correcting the problem in the failed computing system. | 08-28-2008 |
20100186094 | EMBEDDED SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND METHOD THEREFOR - An administration system for use within a server system is provided. The server system having a server that provides host management functions and the server system being able to accept computer cards inserted therein. The administration system comprises a computing system that is inserted in the server system, the computing system having a controller that assumes control over the communications bus. | 07-22-2010 |
20130125121 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION - Virtual machine (VM) technology allows multiple operating systems each deploying multiple applications to run on a single host. This invention presents an effective method and system for virtual machine migration from a source host to a target host. The method and system concern the migration of both the service VM and the element managing it. State of the migrating VM is preserved so that it can resume its execution on the target host. | 05-16-2013 |

20090063560 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PATENT CLAIM MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION - A method and system for organizing and managing claim elements and reference objects is disclosed. The method and system establish database links between claim elements and reference objects based on associations identified between them. These database links are then stored in the database for future reference. The links are also used to derive additional associations between other claim elements and reference objects. The method and the system also enable the displaying of claim elements and reference objects to users in a way that illustrates the associations between the claim elements and reference objects. Associations may be defined based on similarities or dissimilarities between claim elements and reference objects, and amongst claim elements and reference objects, respectively. | 03-05-2009 |
20100077007 | Method and System for Populating a Database With Bibliographic Data From Multiple Sources - There is disclosed a method of populating a relational database of bibliographic data associated with one or more document-based collections, wherein the bibliographic data is sourced from two or more sources having distinct source-specific formats. The method generally comprises the steps of accessing source data from the two or more sources; independently standardizing the accessed data from each of the two or more sources in accordance with a common intermediate source-independent format dictated by an intermediate data structure, such that similar data elements from distinct source-specific formats are commonly identified within the intermediate format; and further interpreting the standardized data in relation to stored database elements comprising at least some database elements derived from each of the two or more sources, for populating the database in accordance with the relation with at least some repetitive elements replaced with reference thereto, consistent with a refined database data structure distinct from the intermediate data structure. A system and computer-readable medium for implementing the above method are also disclosed. | 03-25-2010 |

20090077066 | METHOD OF BIBLIOGRAPHIC FIELD NORMALIZATION - A method of normalizing a bibliographic field of a structured field relational database is disclosed. The method includes weighting potential candidate records according to the value in the corresponding field in the records, together with other related fields in the candidate record and other related records in the database. Each of the candidate records is successively evaluated and compared against an acceptable threshold. If the weight exceeds the threshold, the candidate record is returned from the query. Otherwise, a new entry in the database is created. Optionally, before creating such a new entry, the highest weighted candidate record may be compared against a minimally acceptable threshold and if the weight exceeds such a lower threshold, the candidate is returned from the query. | 03-19-2009 |

20140095616 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SAMPLING ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS - A representative sample of an online social network is formed by performing a deterministic process that coalesces to indicate success. A random value is selected for seeding the process. Based on the random value, the process is executed and once the process coalesces, a proper sampling of the online social network results. | 04-03-2014 |

20080280662 | System for evaluating game play data generated by a digital games based learning game - Methods and devices for assessing a user's skill level in a field of expertise based on game play data generated by that user. In one embodiment, a user plays a game which simulates an auditing interview. The user selects predefined questions to ask a computer controlled interviewee and a game log of the questions asked, reactions to the questions, and other data is created. The game log is then sent to an assessment system with multiple assessment modules. Each assessment module analyzes the game play data for specific patterns in the questions being asked. Patterns such as the sequencing of questions, the type and frequency of questions asked, and whether specific questions are asked may then be tracked and assessed. Based on the results of the various assessment analyses, a final metric indicative of the user's skill level is calculated. Advice and tips for the user to increase his skill level may also be provided based on what patterns were found in the game play data. | 11-13-2008 |

20090111155 | MODIFIED XYLANASE EXHIBITING IMPROVED EXPRESSION - A modified Family 11 xylanase enzyme comprising a sequence that introduces a functional consensus glycosylation site is provided. Non-limiting examples of introduced glycosylation sites include mutation of the amino acid at position 34, 131, 180, 182, or a combination thereof, to an asparagine. The indicated amino acid position in the Family 11 xylanase is determined from sequence alignment of the xylanase of interest with that of a | 04-30-2009 |
20100068768 | ENZYME COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE IMPROVED ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF CELLULOSE - A process for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to produce a hydrolysis product comprising glucose from a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock and enzymes for use in the process are provided. The process comprises partially hydrolyzing an aqueous slurry of a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock with cellulase enzymes, one or more than one β-glucosidase enzyme and a binding agent for binding the β-glucosidase enzyme to fiber solids present in the aqueous slurry. The unhydrolyzed fiber solids are then separated from the hydrolyzed slurry. The separated fiber solids thus obtained are then re-suspended in an aqueous solution to produce a re-suspended slurry. The hydrolysis is then continued to produce the hydrolysis product comprising glucose. | 03-18-2010 |

20100129880 | HOSTS AND FERMENTATION PROCESSES FOR CELLULASE PRODUCTION - A fermentation process for the production of cellulase mixtures is provided. The process comprises providing a genetically modified host filamentous fungus that overexpresses a Xyr1 transcription factor and/or that is partially or completely deficient in expressing one or more hemicellulase enzyme. The host filamentous fungus is cultured in a medium comprising a carbon source. The carbon source contains from about 60 wt % to about 100 wt % hemicellulose-derived carbohydrate and less than 5% of a cellulase-inducing carbohydrate or contains from about 25 wt % to about 100% wt % hemicellulose-derived sugar alcohol in combination with from about 0 wt % to about 75 wt % glucose, glycerol or a combination thereof. | 05-27-2010 |
20100317087 | MODIFIED CELLULASES WITH INCREASED THERMOSTABILITY, THERMOPHILICITY, AND ALKALOPHILICITY - A modified Family 6 cellulase enzyme comprising a proline residue at position 413 is provided. Genetic constructs and genetically modified microbes comprising DNA sequences encoding the modified Family 6 cellulase are also provided. Family 6 cellulases of the invention display improved thermostability, thermophilicity, alkalophilicity, or a combination thereof, relative to the parent Family 6 cellulases. Such cellulases find use in a variety of applications in industry that require cellulase stability and activities at temperatures, pH values, or both, above that of the native enzyme. | 12-16-2010 |
