Publication number: 20140195060Abstract: Mandatory and optional consumption points are identified to support management of power allocation. A mandatory consumption point is a consumption point required to function at a given time and an optional consumption point is a discretionary consumption point. The energy required for mandatory consumption points to complete their designated functions is calculated. An energy quota is designated for power allocation to the optional consumption points in response to the mandatory consumption point calculation, and the identification of available energy. Energy required for optional consumption points to complete their designated functions is calculated. The optional consumption points are dynamically prioritized and power is allocated to the optional consumption points responsive to this prioritization and with respect to the designated energy quota.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Barry A.

Publication number: 20140195806Abstract: A first computing device receives over a telecommunications network from a second computing device a verification message encrypted using a public key. The verification message is generated by the second computing device when initiating a call to the first computing device. The first computing device transmits to a wireless router via a wireless local area network (WLAN) created by the wireless router, the encrypted verification message. The first computing device receives from the wireless router over the WLAN, a decrypted verification message decrypted from the encrypted message by the wireless device using a private key associated with the public key. The first computing device transmits over the telecommunications network to the second computing device, the decrypted verification message. If the second computing device determines that the decrypted verification message corresponds to the encrypted verification message, the second computing device allows the call to the first computing device to proceed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2014Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Barry A.

Patent number: 8768625Abstract: Methods provide personalized route generation with computer readable program code, when read by a processor, configured for storing an image viewing pattern in a memory, and determining a first object viewing interest from the image viewing pattern. The image viewing pattern may be based at least in part on an image viewing history. The first object viewing interest may be depicted in at least one image in the image viewing history. The method may further include receiving a request for directions to a destination in a geographic region, identifying a first area in an electronic map of the geographic region and generating a first route to the destination. The first area may include the first object viewing interest. The first route may feature the first area.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Barry A. Kritt, Thomas S.

Patent number: 8650506Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for generating a manufacturing-usable easily modifiable product order document is presented. An object collection of objects that describe features of components of a product is created. A view database that describes a logical relationship among components in the object collection is also created. A single document that includes the object collection and the view database is then generated. This single document can be updated according to technical requirements for a product being manufactured according to a product description created from the single document.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven C.

Publication number: 20140025674Abstract: A search result is re-ranked/re-ordered in a user-specific manner, where the search result comprises an ordered sequence of identifications of a plurality of network-accessible documents that match a search query, based on a model corresponding to a user who will view the search result. The model comprises keywords and relationships among them, according to how the user perceives relationships among the keywords. The re-ranking comprises changing an order of at least one of the identified plurality of network-accessible documents within the ordered sequence, responsive to comparing ones of the keywords in the model to the identifications of network-accessible documents. The search result is then rendered, as re-ranked, for the user. The relationships may have an associated bond strength, and the re-ranking comprises changing the order accordingly. Keywords from the model are preferably used to group the identifications during the re-ranking.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Barry A.

Publication number: 20140006394Abstract: For categorizing content, a categorizing module categorizes content of a content stream into a category of a plurality of categories. A recording module records a navigation action directed to first content of the content stream. The recording module further elevates a ranking of a first category associated with the first content in response to the navigation action. In addition, the recording module displays highest ranking categories for selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Barry A.

Publication number: 20140006117Abstract: A method for determining a reorder point tracks a purchase of one of a product and a service by a consumer. The product or service is purchased by the consumer online. The method determines a rate of consumption for the product or service. The method determines a reorder point for the product or a service. The reorder point includes an estimated time after the purchase of the product or service and prior to, based on the rate of consumption, the product or service reaching a safety stock level, minus a replenishment lead time. The safety stock level is a minimum acceptable level of a quantity of remaining product or service due to be delivered. The method delivers an advertisement to the consumer. The advertisement is delivered to the consumer electronically and the advertisement is delivered to the consumer at a time relative to the reorder point.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Barry A.
