Abstract: A system determines whether to restrain collection of data entered into an input control by generating an overlay input field for capturing data entered by a user in response to determining that the collection of data is to be restrained. The data may be edited by the user, via the overlay input field, prior to the user submitting the data to the input control. The system submits the data captured in the overlay input field to the input control. The editing performed by the user within the overlay input field restrains collection of data by input controls that auto stream data as the data is entered into the input control.

Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments for providing transparently stateful execution of stateless applications. A request associated with an application is received and includes at least one operation to be executed by the application as well as a set of first state information. The application determines if the operations are to be executed statelessly or not. If the application is to be executed statelessly, the first state information is retrieved from the request and used to initialize the application. If not, then the first state of the application is retrieved from a location other than the received request. The operations are then executed by the application in the application's appropriate first state. A response including the relevant information associated with the response as well as an updated set of state information identifying the application's second state is generated and transmitted to the client.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to push notification via file sharing service synchronization. A method includes establishing synchronization, at a notification service of a mobile platform server executing on a computer processor, with a client-to-server directory of a file sharing container of a client mobile device via a file sharing service. The notification service detects a notification from the client mobile device in the client-to-server directory and determines an endpoint associated with the notification and a notification transport protocol associated with the endpoint. The notification service also selects a channel plugin associated with the notification transport protocol to establish a notification channel with the endpoint and sends a notification trigger on the notification channel to the endpoint based on the notification.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for guaranteeing high-level QoS for emergent traffic to enable the transmission of the traffic. According to the technique, when a transmission unit 110 sends a content to a reception unit through a network 130, identification information is added to a data packet including the content to indicate that the data packet is a packet to be transmitted to a permitted content using node 150. This packet is duplicated by a network node (e.g., an intermediate node (management node) 140) and forwarded to both the reception unit and the permitted content using node. The content stored on the permitted content using node can be referred to check whether this content is to be transmitted in high priority. A content owner can get compensation (e.g., the cost required for high-priority network transmission) by providing the right of use of the content to the permitted content using node.

The input data block is accessed and recompressed following the header input block in the previously compressed data stream one at a time using block-image synchronization information. Access to the block-image synchronization information is initialized by the compression scheme information to generate an output data block. The block-image synchronization information is used to provide decompression information to facilitate decompression of the results of the output data block.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide various techniques for identifying a virtual application for backup in a cloud computing system. A cloud service layer of the cloud computing system is queried for a listing of virtual applications. In response to the querying, an attribute associated with the virtual application is received from the cloud service layer. The attribute associated with the virtual application is then transformed into an attribute associated with a hypervisor-managed virtual machine, and this transformation of the attribute exposes the hypervisor-managed virtual machine associated with the virtual application such that the hypervisor-managed virtual machine is identifiable for backup. As a result, the virtual application can be backed up based on the attribute of the hypervisor-managed virtual machine.

Abstract: Wireless devices form a significant portion of equipment forming the source/destination of content transmitted over telecommunications infrastructure together with applications such as RF identification, smart tags, etc. As such the wireless spectrum supports these devices operating to multiple standards, both licensed and unlicensed. In many environments it would be beneficial for a network administrator to know whether the environment and network they are responsible for is compliant to policies established in dependence of the environment/network. The invention provides distributed wireless signal analyzers within the environment/network to provide signal/spectrum analysis and determine whether received signals by the wireless signal analyzer are compliant to the network administrator policy. Compliance may be based upon time or frequency domain measurements with different rules for different wireless spectrum regions.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for managing computing resources relative to a computing environment entitlement contract. These mechanisms generate one or more computing environment entitlement contract (CEEC) data structures, each CEEC data structure defining terms of a business level agreement between a contracting party and a provider of the data processing system. A CEEC cohort is generated comprising a collection of CEECs having similar terms. Utilization of a collection of computing resources in accordance with the similar terms of the collection of CEECs is monitored to identify a usage pattern within the CEEC cohort. Membership of a CEEC in the CEEC cohort based on the identified usage pattern is modified based on the monitored utilization.
