Patent number: 8006289Abstract: A method is presented for managing authentication credentials for a user. A session management server performs session management with respect to the user for a domain that includes a protected resource. The session management server receives a request to access the protected resource, which requires authentication credentials that have been generated for a first type of authentication context. In response to determining that authentication credentials for the user have been generated for a second type of authentication context, the session management server sends to an authentication proxy server a first message that contains the authentication credentials for the user and an indicator for the first type of authentication context. The session management server subsequently receives a second message that contains updated authentication credentials for the user that indicate that the updated authentication credentials have been generated for the first type of authentication context.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Heather M. Hinton, Benjamin Harmon, Anthony Moran

Patent number: 7971485Abstract: A method of testing an elongate wooden element includes injecting an input acoustic signal into the element, detecting a return acoustic signal at a surface of the element, and determining a spectral profile for the return signal. In at least a predetermined range in the spectral profile, each resonance peak is detected whose amplitude exceeds a first predetermined value, and from the resonance peaks so detected the number of higher peaks is determined whose amplitude exceeds 3 dB. For each of said higher peaks a quality factor Q is calculated, a mean quality value Qm is determined, and Qm is then compared with a predetermined value to provide an indication of the presence or absence of external decay of the element. A ratio R of the number of higher peaks to the number of resonance peaks detected, and the statistical spread S of the average Q for the spectral profile, are calculated and compared with a predetermined boundary function Fn(R,S) to determine acceptability or unacceptability of the pole.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2007Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: CPI Quetra LimitedInventors: Rodney David Greenough, John Anthony Moran

Publication number: 20080109897Abstract: Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to describe the permitted actions (permissions) on protected network computer system resources or objects associated with an client or user identity. An identity may be an individual user or group of users. The actions are used to represent the different access methods available on a particular projected object or resource. A new action grouping mechanism is provided which tags each action with an action group name. The grouping of actions facilitates a larger permission set to be defined in an ACL, whereas action permission indicators can be reused for unique action definitions within various action groups. This effectively extends the finite total number of permissions available within a security system, allows a more descriptive and extensible permission mechanism in an Access Control List, as well as aiding in the simplification of management and definition of security policies.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2007Publication date: May 8, 2008Inventors: Anthony Moran, Brian Turner, Peter Calvert

Publication number: 20080087019Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine comprising at least one Helmholtz resonator having a resonator cavity and a resonator neck in flow communication with the interior of the combustion chamber. The cavity extends around at least part of the neck and is spaced apart therefrom to define a cooling chamber therebetween. The cooling chamber allows the neck and the cavity to be cooled with a flow of cooling air. The sunken neck allows the resonator to be located within enclosures with minimal volume without compromising on the damping properties afforded.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Michael Macquisten, Anthony Moran, Michael Whiteman, Jonathan Carrotte, Ashley Barker

Publication number: 20070143829Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed that give entities flexibility to implement custom authentication methods of other entities for authentication of a principal in a federation by authenticating the principal by an identity provider according to a service provider's authentication policy and recording in session data of the identity provider an authentication credential satisfying the service provider's authentication policy. Authentication of a principal in a federation is also carried out by authenticating the principal by the identity provider according to an identity provider's authentication policy. Authentication of a principal in a federation is further carried out by receiving in the identity provider an authentication request from the service provider, the authentication request specifying the service provider's authentication policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Heather Hinton, Anthony Moran

Patent number: 7224814Abstract: A two-way communication device includes a magnetoelastic rod located between an inertial back mass and a front panel of low mass. A coil is located in the vicinity of the rod, and the rod and coil together define an audio-electric transducer. An electronic processing circuit ensures that an audio-electric signal input to the device is applied to the coil to produce a sound wave from the low mass front panel and that when a sound wave impinges on the low mass front panel an audio-electric signal is produced and output from the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2002Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Inventors: Bryan Paul Cross, John Anthony Moran

Publication number: 20060136990Abstract: The invention provides federated functionality within a data processing system by means of a set of specialized runtimes. Each of the plurality of specialized runtimes provides requested federation services for selected ones of the requestors according to configuration data of respective federation relationships of the requestors with the identity provider. The configuration data is dynamically retrieved during initialization of the runtimes which allows the respective runtime to be specialized for a given federation relationship. Requests are routed to the appropriate specialized runtime using the first requestor identity and the given federation relationship. The data which describes each federation relationship between the identity provider and each of the plurality of requesters is configured prior to initialization of the runtimes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2004Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Heather Hinton, Anthony Moran, Dolapo Falola, Ivan Milman, Patrick Wardrop

Publication number: 20060048216Abstract: A method and a system are presented in which federated service providers interact within a federated environment to initiate federated operations. A point-of-contact component that provides session management capabilities at a first service provider receives a request from a client. The request is then sent, possibly using redirection through a client, to a federated user lifecycle management functional component of the first service provider, which may interact with a point-of-contact component at a second service provider to initiate a federated user lifecycle management function at the second service provider, which enlists the assistance of a federated user lifecycle management functional component at the second service provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Heather Hinton, Dolapo Falola, Anthony Moran, Patrick Wardrop
