Patent number: 9836370Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for backup memory administration are provided. Embodiments include storing in an active memory device, by a memory backup controller, blocks of computer data received from random access memory; recording in a change log, by the memory backup controller, identifications of each block of computer data that is stored in the active memory device; detecting, by the memory backup controller, a backup trigger event; and responsive to the detecting of the backup trigger event: copying, by the memory backup controller, from the active memory device, to a backup memory device, the blocks of data identified in the change log; and clearing, by the memory backup controller, the change log.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2010Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Lenovo Enterprise Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Jeffrey R. Hamilton, Melba I. Lopez, Ross L. Mickens, Markesha F. Parker

Patent number: 9639706Abstract: Techniques to interface with an isolated compute environment may be provided. An external interface may be provided by the isolated compute environment identifying a list of applications. Responsive to receiving a first request to access a first application in the list of applications from a source outside of the isolated compute environment, the isolated compute environment may provide interactive support to the first application to share the first application and the first application's data with the source. Responsive to receiving a second request to access a second application not in the list of applications from the source outside of the isolated compute environment, the isolated compute environment may prevent the interactive support to the second application.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michal Broz, Bernadette A. Carter, Melba I. Lopez, Matthew G. Marum

Patent number: 9614896Abstract: There are provided a method, a system and a computer program product for customizing a loading message to be displayed during a loading process. The system receives, from a client device used by a user, an event message that indicates a start of the loading process. The system receives, from the client device, one or more content sources. The system selects a content source among the one or more content sources. The system displays content from the selected content source to the user during the loading process.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michal Broz, Bernadette A. Carter, Melba I. Lopez, Matthew G. Marum

Patent number: 9509758Abstract: Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may provide and/or receive relevant commentary for media content. Additionally, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received in response to rendering a section of the media content. In addition, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on one or more of a preference for a temporal perspective, a preference for a viewpoint, and/or a preference for a state of a social network. Moreover, the relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on a topic related to the section of the media content. The relevant commentary may be provided and/or received based on an authorship independent of a media content access event by an author of the relevant commentary. In addition, an ambiguous section of the media content may be clarified, and/or an interactive commentary session may be simulated.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Lenovo Enterprise Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Michal Broz, Bernadette A. Carter, Melba I. Lopez, Matthew G. Marum

Publication number: 20140149521Abstract: Routing incoming communications in a data processing system is provided. In response to receiving a current incoming communication to a communication address associated with the data processing system, it is determined whether an extension is associated with the current incoming communication. In response to determining that an extension is associated with the current incoming communication, the extension associated with the current incoming communication is determined to match an extension in a list of extensions corresponding to a plurality of profiles in the data processing system. Then, the current incoming communication is routed to a profile in the plurality of profiles that corresponds to the extension associated with the current incoming communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michal Broz, Bernadette A.
