Abstract: A method, system and program product for displaying a tooltip based on content within the tooltip is provided. Under the present invention, a feature (e.g., size, type, complexity, etc.) of the content within a tooltip is first determined. Based on the feature, a display time for the tooltip is calculated. The tooltip is then displayed for the duration of the calculated display time, after which time the tooltip is closed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of dispatching an IP datagram comprising socks traffic on a socks server, in an Internet Protocol (IP) network comprising a plurality of socks servers, the IP datagram comprising an IP header comprising a Type Of Service (TOS) field. The method comprises in a socks dispatcher the steps of retrieving the value of the Type Of Service (TOS) field from the IP header of the IP datagram and selecting a socks server referring to a first table, said first table defining for each value of the TOS field one or a plurality of socks servers. The IP datagram is sent by an IP network device with a given priority. The step of retrieving the value of the Type Of Service (TOS) field is followed by the further step of determining the priority of the IP datagram by referring to a second table, the second table defining a priority for each value of the Type Of Service (TOS) field.

Abstract: Under the present invention, a mailbox is equipped with a RFID reader. The RFID reader receives a continuously transmitted signal from an RFID tag that contains an RF identifier. Upon receipt, the RFID reader compares the RF identifier in the signal to an RF identifier assigned to the mailbox. If a match is established, the mailbox is unlocked and access is permitted.

Abstract: A mill classifier, particularly a roller mill classifier, has a strip rotor and a concentrically arranged guide vane ring with flow-optimized guide vanes and flow channels for a parallel incoming and outgoing flow without constriction or with widening and a diffuser effect. The flow-optimized guide vanes with an incident flow tube with vertical rotation axis and at least one guide plate are arranged adjustably for a tangential to radial incident flow of the strip rotor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for transferring data between server systems. Specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for locating and importing data stored on a source server system in a first file format to a staging server system. Once imported to the staging server system, the data is processed (e.g., parsed, edited, and translated). After processing, the data is formatted into a second file format and then exported to a destination server system. Thus, the present invention allows data stored on a source server system in a first file format to be transferred to a destination server system in a second file format.

Abstract: A multi-structure lighting device. The lighting device includes multiple elongate structures that create a luminescent effect, and at least one connector. Each elongate structure is permanently affixed to another elongate structure by the connector. The connector can be a cross-shaped connector that includes ends that are inserted into the ends of chemiluminescent tubes thereby permanently affixing the tubes.

Abstract: To prevent unauthorized copying of video data transmitted from an MPEG-2 decoder to an NTSC encoder, data format of video data to be transmitted from an MPEG-2 decoder to an NTSC encoder is dynamically changed (S104, S112, and S118).

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an eye examination are disclosed. In particular, an object is recorded by a recording mechanism. The recording is transferred to a computer system, which is accessible to users. As users view the recording of the object, the appearance thereof is altered. The user will observe the various appearances and select the appearance that is the best or most clear. A prescription will be assigned to each appearance so that upon selection by a user, the prescription can be noted and used to obtain any necessary eye wear. The present invention is useful in detecting and diagnosing various ocular disorders or refractive errors such as emmetropia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and the need for prismatic lenses.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to sending data (e.g. print data or a document), in a network environment, to a port monitor, and to upload the data to an upload manager for storing in a database. Relevant data may be sent from a print spooler to the port monitor invoking an upload manger to convey (e.g. securely or non-securely) print data to a web server. A version manager determines whether the print driver being used to print data is authentic, and data are written to a web server as packets of information and sent to a database for storage. Additionally, a system, method and recordable medium are recognized whereby a pass through (e.g. a port monitor filter) is inserted between a print spooler and a port monitor in order to detach the port monitor from the print spooler such that object code can be upgraded for future versions of software.

Abstract: A heat sink for free convection cooling in horizontal applications is provided. Specifically, the heat sink includes a plurality of spaced apart cooling fins, which are supported by an angled base. The cooling fins are transversely attached to the base and extend in a substantially vertical direction. In addition, the cooling fins extend beyond an outer edge of the base so that air can flow horizontally beneath the base and then vertically through the spaced apart cooling fins.

Abstract: The present invention provides a land grid array (LGA) connector that is formed from a plurality of sections. Specifically, each LGA section includes at least one set of fingers. Each set of fingers interconnects with a set of fingers of another section to form the LGA connector. By forming the LGA connector in this manner a maximum quantity of input/output (I/O) contacts can be provided.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking and synchronizing related data elements in disparate storage systems is provided. More particularly, the present invention provides a hub system for cross-referencing and maintaining storage system information for the efficient synchronization of related data elements in disparate storage systems.

Abstract: An interposer member having strategically positioned apertures for electrically connecting an electronic device to a circuitized substrate. The member includes a homogeneous elastomer core having strategically positioned apertures. The apertures are positioned through the member approximately equidistant between adjacent plated through holes and/or conductive pads. Such positioning relieves stress from the plated through holes and/or conductive pads, and increases the contact compliancy of the member.

Abstract: A digester method and system for processing farm waste is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a small-scale digester that processes approximately 0.1% to 10% of a raw waste stream at a temperature of approximately 100° F. The remaining 90% to 99.1% of the raw waste stream is directed to a waste lagoon without passing through the digester. Once the digester has processed the waste stream directed thereto, the processed waste is fed to the waste lagoon thereby inducing greater methane production.
