Abstract: An “accessibility hub” for content accessibility services enables impaired content consumers to create user profiles including personalized accessibility themes that define accessibility preferences for viewing published content. Further, the accessibility hub enables content producers to access accessibility theme templates that can be used by the content producers to publish content in a manner that is accessible to impaired content consumers. Further yet, anonymized accessibility preference data may be aggregated and analyzed for use in generating new accessibility themes for various impairments, based on which impairment-specific accessibility settings and themes may be recommended and/or dynamically generated.

Abstract: A methodology for using multiple execution threads to regulate message traffic is presented. An application thread spawns a limiter thread, and each have access in shared memory to a message count that reflects a number of messages that are transmitted by the application thread within a regulated time period. The limiter thread cycles by entering a sleep state for the regulated time period, resetting the message count upon awakening, and then reentering a sleep state. The application thread executes a loop that compares the message count against a maximum number of messages for the regulated time period; if the comparison is favorable, then another message is transmitted and the message count is adjusted. If the comparison is not favorable, then the application thread enters a sleep state; after awakening, it repeats the comparison, and depending on the result, it transmits a message or reenters a sleep state.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, system, computer program product, and computer implemented method for sending telemetric information to a plurality of vehicles. A second vehicle receives the telemetric information from a first vehicle that indicates a vehicle status, wherein the vehicle status indicates an intent to change movement of the first vehicle by a user of the first vehicle. The second vehicle processes the telemetric information from the first vehicle. The second vehicle then forwards the telemetric information from the first vehicle to a set plurality of vehicles to form forwarded telemetric information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring and routing status messages to another process running on the same or a different computing system during the installation of one or more applications are provided. With the apparatus and method, one or more objects can monitor the progress, log events, status message, etc., generated during an installation, silent or otherwise, of one or more products. Monitoring includes a Status Listener object and a Status Producer object for the installation application. The Status Producer object obtains status messages, progress indications, and log events from a vendor supplied installation program. The Status Producer object then forwards these messages to registered Status Listeners that implement the Status Listener interface. The Status Listeners then forward these messages to their associated external processes which may be located on the same or a remotely located computing system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for deploying web services in a web services infrastructure are provided. with the apparatus and method, a deployment descriptor for a web service is retrieved from a configuration file. A location type in the deployment descriptor is provided for identifying whether the web service is implemented using a web services description language (WSDL) document only, a JavaBean only, or both a WSDL document and a JavaBean. Based on the location type, and associated attributes of the location type, processes are performed for generating an internal definition of the web service to thereby deploy the web service in the web services infrastructure. The internal definition may be generated from the WSDL document directly, if the location type is WSDL only. If the location type is JavaBean only, the internal definition may be generated by first generating a WSDL document from the JavaBean and then generating the internal definition from the generated WSDL document.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a method, a system, a computer program code, and a computer implemented method for sending events between vehicles. A vehicle detects an event, wherein the event is for a user action that indicates an intent to change movement of the vehicle. The vehicle determines whether the event should be sent to another vehicle. If the event should be sent to another vehicle, then the vehicle sends the event to the another vehicle.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, a computer program product and a data processing system for adjusting cargo space within a vehicle is provided. An identity tag for an item is scanned using a reader and transmitted to a vehicle, where it is received. Dimension information for the item is retrieved. A determination is made as to whether the items will fit in the cargo space of the vehicle. In response to a determination that the item will fit into the cargo space of the vehicle, the best fit for the item is calculated. Seats within the vehicle are reconfigured to accommodate the item within the cargo space.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for detecting when a wireless device is entering a quiet zone. An out-of-range condition is created in an entryway to a quiet zone. When a wireless device is in a transition zone, the device transmits a re-scan message with a unit identification in an attempt to reestablish communication with the communication tower. A re-scan receiver is provided in the entryway to receive re-scan messages and notify a mobile telephone switching office that the device is entering a quiet zone. The switching office then sends a ring type modifier property to the device when the device leaves the transition zone and reestablishes communications with the communication tower.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus for invoking web services on handheld or mobile devices is disclosed. In one embodiment, Mobile Data Service is used to push a SOAP envelope to a handheld device in the form of a message. In another embodiment, a requesting application server generates a key in addition to the SOAP envelope for the request. The handheld device is sent a message via Short Message Service (SMS) containing the key, and the mobile device uses the key to retrieve or “pull” the SOAP envelope for the request. In yet another embodiment, SOAP envelopes are transmitted as raw data to a handheld device on a particular designated TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) port. In this case, the handheld device recognizes that it has received a SOAP envelope by virtue of the fact that the data was received on the designated port.
