Abstract: In a method for generating a business process model project, a computer receives a data file comprising text, descriptive of a business process. The computer searches a sentence in the text for a keyword indicative of existence of a corresponding business artifact stated elsewhere in the sentence. In response, the computer identifies an indicator in the sentence, the indicator designating a name of the corresponding business artifact. The computer identifies a business artifact based on the keyword and the indicator. The computer generates a business process model project based in part on the business artifact.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for providing instructions to a mainframe system. The method at a client system includes constructing a job control language (JCL) job embedded with an interpreted language program to provide instructions to a mainframe operating system. The method at a mainframe system includes: receiving a job control language (JCL) job embedded with an interpreted language program to provide instructions to a mainframe operating system; copying the interpreted language program to a transient executable area; and executing the interpreted language program.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product for automatically deriving a command for starting a program in an operating system of a computer, the method comprising the steps of: identifying an address space provided by an operating system; identifying a program in the address space; searching data logged by the operating system as a result of processing the identified program to identify a start command for initiating processing of the identified program; and outputting the identified start command.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for logged event frequency visualization. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for logged event frequency visualization is provided. The method includes loading into memory of a computer system a set of logged data entries and associated time stamps from a data store of log entries and computing in the computer system a frequency of logging for each of the logged data entries. The method additionally includes concurrently displaying in a log viewer both the logged data entries and also a visualization of the frequency of logging for each of the logged data entries.

Abstract: A system and method for allocating inventory to satisfy online demand and demand at physical locations includes allocating a first portion of media rental inventory for online fulfillment and a second portion for fulfillment at physical rental locations. The method further includes making a determination of in-store rental activity for the second portion of inventory, and reallocating the first and second portions of inventory based on that determination.

Abstract: A system and method for fulfilling a media request includes receiving a media request associated with a subscriber account. One inventory location is selected from a plurality of inventory locations to fulfill the media request, and at least one of the inventory locations accommodates in-store media rental requests.

Abstract: A system and method for processing media requests includes receiving a media request associated with a subscriber account. The availability of a slot associated with the subscriber account is determined. The slot includes at least one in-store slot and at least one on-line slot.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a night vision system that has an illuminator that transmits light towards a target using light outside the visible spectrum. A receive optics focuses an image on a charge coupled device. This system with an ultraviolet illuminator allows the night vision system to view images beyond 2500 meters, while present systems are limited to around 800 meters. The illuminator is generally a high peak power pulsed light source. A processor uses frame addition techniques to increase the captured light and may use binning techniques to increase the signal to noise ratio. The system may use multiple illuminators and capture images at a number of different wavelengths.

Abstract: A firearm projectile includes a precision-machined outer component having a generally cylindrical body, a tip at the forward end of the body, a base at the rear end of the body, and a precision-machined cavity machined into the outer component. A precision-machined inner component is pressed into the cavity. The outer component includes a homogenous material that is softer than firearm barrel steel. The inner component includes a material having a higher density than the outer component and a higher density than an armor plate, such as solid tungsten, tungsten carbide and potential some Nanotechnology materials such as NanoSteel™. A cap may be attached to the outer component to seal the inner component inside the cavity. The cavity can be machined from the front or rear end of the outer component. The cap fits into the rear of the projectile or may be a bullet tip. The cavity and the inner component may be cylindrical or tapered.

Abstract: An environmentally controlled appliance enclosure includes an enclosed spacer and a heater assembly positioned within the spacer. A heater unit and a fan are secured to the heater assembly. A mounting plate is positioned on the assembly mount and an appliance is secured to the mounting plate. A cover is secured to the spacer to enclose the appliance. Once sealed, the heater unit and fan of the heater assembly operate to maintain a uniform temperature within the enclosure.

Abstract: A split head hammer including a head (4) from one end of which a replaceable hammer shaft (2) projects, comprising two head parts (4A, 4B) which can be connected to grip a pair of striking pieces (11) and the shaft (2), the shaft being sunk fully within the head. The head grips the shaft at a plurality of circumferentially-shaped positions (70). Striking pieces suitable also for use in other designs of hammer e.g. solid head and having a rearward extension (46) of smaller section than the open end (21) of the socket can be retained in the socket by plastic flow and/or by a separate retainer, preferably an annular metal washer (50, 60) usefully toroidal (60). Not only the striking pieces (11) but also the shaft (2) can be simply replaced by the user, notwithstanding that the hammer is suited to heavy-duty use.

Abstract: Compositions and a method for inhibiting tumor cell induced platelet aggregation are described. Platelet aggregation by tumor cells is part of the metastatic cascade which is interrupted according to the present invention. The compounds include a mixture of at least two members of the group including a calcium channel blocker, a prostacyclin, a thromboxane synthase inhibitor and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. All of the compounds utilized have an affect on calcium ion which controls platelet aggregation.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of malignant tumors by co-administering a platinum coordination compound and a dihydropyridine class calcium channel blocker compound is described. The compounds are administered over a period of several days in at least two separate dosages of each compound so as to produce regression of the tumor in vitro and in vivo and inhibition of metastasis of the tumor in vivo.

Abstract: Novel nitrone substituted 4-aryl dihydropyridines of the formula: ##STR1## are described along with a process for their preparation. The compounds exhibit calcium channel blocker and antimetastatic acitivity.
