Publication number: 20240052096Abstract: In various aspects, a cured polymer glass may be provided. The cured polymer glass may include a polymer glass component (such as an epoxide component and an amine component), and an azobenzene photo-responsive modifying agent. The modifying agent may cause a reversible transition in the cured polymer glass from a first state to a second state when the modifying agent is exposed to a light condition (such as specific wavelengths of light). The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured polymer glass may be at least 100° C. The first state may have at least one different mechanical property than the second state. The reversible transition may be configured to occur when the cured polymer glass is at a first temperature below a Tg of the cured polymer glass.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Joseph M. Dennis, Joseph L. Lenhart, Randy A. Mrozek, Timothy W. Sirk, Juan De Pablo

Patent number: 11019128Abstract: A technique for identity service management in a computing environment having a plurality of managed endpoints includes a mediator located within the computing environment and remote from an identity management service provider located external to the computing environment to enable management of the plurality of managed endpoints by the identity management service provider. The mediator includes a service manager configured to authenticate the mediator to the managed endpoints and configure the managed endpoints for pulling data from the managed endpoints. The mediator also includes a data exporter configured to export the data by the mediator to the identity management service provider in response to detecting a direct connection between the mediator and the identity management service provider.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph M. Dennis, Girish B. Verma

Patent number: 10941295Abstract: Resin compositions made of high-performance polymers blended with molecular glass as rheological modifiers are disclosed. The high-performance polymers include thermoplastics, such as polysulfones, polyimides, poly(ether imides), polyketones, poly(ether ketones), and combinations thereof. The molecular glasses are amorphous, non-oligomeric, and have one or more functional groups that promote miscibility of the molecular glass with the high-performance polymers to produce a resin composition with low melt viscosity. Incorporation of the molecular glasses into the high-performance polymers does not alter the Young's modulus and yield stress values of the high-performance polymers.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph M Dennis, Robert D Allen

Patent number: 10630752Abstract: A method and technique for identity service management in a computing environment having a plurality of managed endpoints includes a mediator located remote from an identity management service provider and configured to interface with the plurality of managed endpoints to enable management thereof by the identity management service provider. The mediator includes a web services client configured to package and upload data from at least one of the managed endpoints to the identity management service provider via a web services protocol. The mediator also includes a plurality of providers each configured to identify a particular type of adapter of the mediator for communicating with a respective managed endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph M.
