Abstract: A method of capturing and converting a gas includes supplying a first gas to an adsorption column, adsorbing a first component of the first gas into an adsorbent contained in the adsorption column responsive to the adsorbent having an increased affinity for the first component, venting a second component of the first gas out of the adsorption column, supplying a second gas to the adsorption column so as to increase a partial pressure of the second gas thereby decreasing the partial pressure of the first component within the adsorption column, desorbing the first component from the adsorbent responsive to the increased partial pressure of the second gas and decreased partial pressure of the at least one first component, and transmitting a mixture of the first component and the second gas to a reactor via a reactor line.

Abstract: A method of serving an API request includes receiving the API request at a local API proxy deployed at a local deployment environment. The method includes utilizing the local API proxy to service the API request at the local deployment environment, establishing a connection with a remote API management server, and providing to the remote API management server, via the connection, at least metadata about the API request.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for transforming a knowledge base into a machine readable format for an automated system are disclosed. For example, the method includes clustering two or more documents of a plurality of documents in the knowledge base that are similar based upon a domain specific shingling function, identifying a pattern from each document of the plurality of documents that are clustered, wherein the pattern comprises a sequence of steps, aggregating the pattern of the each document of the plurality of documents that are clustered into a trie data-structure that is machine readable, receiving a request and applying the trie data-structure to provide a solution to the request.

Abstract: A system for identifying a root-cause of customer churn for churn prediction refinement. Customer transactions are analyzed to identify discriminating patterns that appear frequently in the transactions of customers who have churned and infrequent in the transactions of customers who have not churned. Attributes associated with the discriminating patters are the root-causes of customer churn. The attributes of customer transactions associated with the root-causes of customer churn are weighted. Churn prediction is performed on the updated customer transactions to obtain a second list of customers likely to churn. The first and second lists are compared to determine whether convergence has occurred. Upon convergence, the second list of customers likely to churn to a display device of a customer care agent so that those customers on the second list can be prioritized ahead of customers who are not likely to churn. Otherwise, the process repeats until convergence.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for identifying one or more target users, of a first content, from a social network. The disclosed method includes generating a graph comprising one or more nodes, representative of one or more users of the social network, and one or more edges connecting the one or more nodes. Thereafter, a first set of nodes is selected from the one or more nodes based on at least a first score and/or a second score. Finally, a third set of nodes is selected from the first set of nodes based on at least a polarity score associated with a second set of nodes, determined based on at least a first weight and a second weight, connected to each node in the first set of nodes, wherein the third set of nodes represents the one or more target users.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a data storage system for storing and retrieving fixed data content includes: a storage system network; one or more peer node computer systems interconnected by the storage system network; and at least one disklet stored on at least one of the one or more peer node computer systems, the disklet for execution on the data storage system using data that are stored on, being written to, or being read from the data storage system. In one embodiment, a disklet includes executable program code and a disklet interface that permits the program code of the disklet to be loaded on to the data storage system and executed on the data storage system by a user.

Abstract: Software, methods, and systems for representing devices on a computer network are described. In one embodiment, the system of the invention includes a topology service. The topology service includes a protocol interface mechanism, an engine, and a database support mechanism. The topology service is coupled with a data storage mechanism. In a more specific embodiment, the protocol interface mechanism, engine, and database support mechanism each configured to operate as independent components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for rich text document storage on small devices. One embodiment provides a compact word processing document format. The document format allows viewing and editing of a document on PDAs. In one embodiment, the document format also includes style information. In another embodiment, the document format handles multi-byte characters. Yet another embodiment is designed to utilize a record-based storage system. One embodiment stores two style galleries in one record of a document. One style gallery represents style information for paragraphs. The other style gallery represents style information for smaller text runs (where a run is sequence of text of one style). The rest of the document stores the text of the document and information about applying styles from the galleries to the text. Documents in standard word processing formats are converted to the document format of the embodiment with little or no loss in stylistic information.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed that allow the user of an application to customize the graphical user interface (GUI) for the user's needs. The invention engages in a dialog with the user to determine which GUI features are desired by the user. Depending on the user's answers a model representation of the GUI (a configuration) is saved. The invention provides the user with the ability to select and use the saved configurations.

Abstract: Software, method, and systems for representing devices on a computer network are described. In one embodiment the invention comprises a method which identifies devices on a computer network; creates topology objects configured to represent the devices; associates the topology objects with the identified devices; stores the associated topology objects in a database managed by a topology service. The embodiment further is capable of receiving an alarm notification regarding a device having an associated topology object stored in the database, extracting the topology object, and acting on said topology object update an alarm count in the topology object; propagate the alarm notice to other topology nodes associated with the topology object; store information related to the alarm and the database; and notifying other services on the computer network. Other embodiments update the relationships between the devices and associated topology objects stored in the database.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a client program with remote access to information management services of a computer network are disclosed. An application programming interface can be provided to enable the client to remotely access the information management services. By using the application program interface the client can remotely invoke appropriate methods on the server to access the information management services. The application programming interface can be implemented as a thin-class.
