Patent number: 8689304Abstract: A system and associated method for providing enhanced site access security by use of multiple authentications from independent sources. A security enhanced user service system has components of a user authentication process, a service application, a multi-authentication module and an authentication database. A user attempting to use the service application accesses through a client system that is coupled to the security enhanced user service system. The user authentication process receives login information from the user, checks for validity, and sends to the multi-authentication module to further verify the login information. The multi-authentication module generates a grant or denial by use of predefined logical condition to satisfy for the grant response, data stored in the authentication database, another security enhanced user service system etc., pursuant to a specific configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Arnaud Lund

Patent number: 8601540Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for automatically managing software licenses that are specifically tied to end users. A repository located on an authentication and license checking server contains the license requirements needed for each application. The repository is searched to determine which license(s) the requester needs to get access to an application. A user authentication is combined with a license checking at the server to grant or deny access to the application. A procurement license server may also be coupled to the license authentication and checking server to order any missing license(s).Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rachil Eddahabi, Jean-Christophe Laurentin, Arnaud Lund

Publication number: 20120233540Abstract: There is revealed a progressive and conditional delivery of digital contents. A given master digital content is previously divided in content blocks, each content block being associated with related content blocks presenting particular hierarchical and dependency characteristics. Responsive to user selection of the master digital content, for each selected content block, there is checked first the display of each related content block and upon positive checking there is displayed the considered selected content block. There is further disclosed steps of checking display performed from an analogue capture of the user interface or from video frame buffer memory data. There may be detected predefined marks. There may be performed image similarity comparisons or image matching tests with expected images associated with content blocks. There are also disclosed predefined encryption keys being used to decipher one or a plurality of content blocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2010Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jean-Luc Collet, Arnaud Lund, Christophe Menant, Carole Truntschka

Publication number: 20120119632Abstract: A system and a method for forming the system. The system includes a cooling conduit and rack containers stacked in a first direction parallel to a floor. Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device configured to generate heat while in operation. Each rack container is equipped with wheels positioned on a supporting structure to enable the wheels to move along the supporting structure in a second direction which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The supporting structure is on the floor and oriented in the second direction. The cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container to allow a cooling fluid to flow into each rack container and be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2010Publication date: May 17, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sebastien Bousseton, Arnaud Lund

Patent number: 8115596Abstract: A method and system for controlling distant equipment. A passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag within a Programmable Secure Remote Controller (PSRC) receives a radio frequency (RF) signal from a transmitter integrated in the distant equipment. The distant equipment is external to and remote from the PSRC. The PRSC does not include an internal source of energy and requires energy from an external source to operate. The PSRC is configured to distribute sufficient energy from the RF signal to components of the PSRC to enable the components to operate. The RFID tag is activated to generate information and the information is decoded to identify the distant equipment. A request to perform an operation that controls the distant equipment is received. After the request is received, a first predefined scenario is activated for performing the operation that controls the distant equipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2007Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Intermational Business Machines CorporationInventor: Arnaud Lund

Patent number: 7936743Abstract: A system, computer program and method to determine a transmission path of a datagram in an IP network from a source device to a destination device. The source device sends a datagram to an IP network device along the transmission path to the destination device. The datagram comprises as destination address, the IP address of the destination device and as source address, the IP address of the network manager station. Consequently, replies, if any, to the datagram are sent back directly to the network manager station by the IP network device along the transmission path, bypassing the source device.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric LeBrun, Arnaud Lund

Patent number: 7917452Abstract: A system and program product for determining a price “P” to bill a customer for a resource. Amounts “U” and “Ci” of the resource provided and committed, respectively, to the customer during the billing period are determined. The price P=F(Ci)+G (U?Ci) is determined and billed to the customer, where “F” and “G” are price functions for the resource. Determined is the number of requests for the resource made by the customer during the billing period in excess of “Ci” which were denied. If the number of denied requests exceeds a predetermined threshold, the amount “Ci” for determining the price “P” is increased during a subsequent billing period. The price “P” is billed to the customer for the subsequent billing period based on the increased amount “Ci” and the value “U” during the subsequent billing period, and the functions “F” and “G”.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2010Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Arnaud Lund

Patent number: 7898117Abstract: A structural configuration which includes a computer support structure having at least one module supporting a computer server disposed therein, and methods for connecting servers and using a computer support structure. Each module includes at least one support member separating the module from each adjacent module. The support member is configured to simultaneously conduct both power and data to a computer server located in the module. The method for connecting servers includes placing a first server inside a first module which includes a first structural member configured to conduct electrical power and data to the first server. A second server is placed inside a second module which includes a second structural member. The second module is placed on top of the first module. The first member supports the second module and separates the second module from the first module, resulting in the first member connecting to the second member.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sebastien Bousseton, Arnaud Lund
