Abstract: A system and method for enabling the interchange of enterprise data through an open platform is disclosed. This open platform can be based on a standardized interface that enables parties to easily connect to and use the network. Services operating as senders, recipients, and in-transit parties can therefore leverage a framework that overlays a public network.

Abstract: Using a machine tool, a workpiece is machined while periodically varying the rotational speed of a spindle thereof. Correlation data on correlation between a speed variation rate RVA of the spindle rotational speed, a speed variation period ratio RVF thereof, and vibration of a tool when machining the workpiece while periodically varying the spindle rotational speed is previously obtained. Based on the correlation data, the speed variation rate RVA and the speed variation period ratio RVF are set so that the vibration of the tool and machining accuracy are within their respective allowable ranges, and based on the set speed variation rate RVA and speed variation period ratio RVF, a variation amplitude and a variation period of the spindle rotational speed are determined. The spindle is rotated at the rotational speed varying at the determined amplitude and period with respect to a target rotational speed, thereby machining the workpiece.

Abstract: The invention described here is intended for enhancing the technology domain of real-time and high-performance distributed computing. This invention provides a connotative and intuitive grammar that allows users to define how data is to be automatically encoded/decoded for transport between computing systems. This capability eliminates the need for hand-crafting custom solutions for every combination of platform and transport medium. This is a software framework that can serve as a basis for real-time capture, distribution, and analysis of large volumes and variety of data moving at rapid or real-time velocity. It can be configured as-is or can be extended as a framework to filter-and-extract data from a system for distribution to other systems (including other instances of the framework). Users control all features for capture, filtering, distribution, analysis, and visualization by configuration files (as opposed to software programming) that are read at program startup.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for interactive state restoring are described. A browser loads a web page using a uniform resource locator (URL). The web page includes interactive elements. The web page is in a default state when loaded by the browser in a first instance and is in an interactive state when any one of the interactive elements is changed. An interactive state restoring tool executing in connection with the browser monitors URLs being loaded by the browser and identifies a data object appended to an end of a first URL for the web page with interactive elements. The interactive state restoring tool extracts the data object from the URL and restores the web page in the interactive state using the data object extracted from the URL when the web page is loaded by the browser. The interactive state restoring tool can execute a state-restoring JavaScript method for consumption of an enhanced deep link.
