Patent number: 11429651Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product is provided for optimizing a document change or provenance scoring system by weighting sections of a document, scoring the changes for each section, and then combining the change scores for each section to generate an overall change score. An associated report may also be generated that catalogs all of the various scoring elements. The weighted score is stored in a document management system and provides a human document reviewer a level of detail to evaluate document changes. Accordingly, the weighted score reveals whether a document's changes require a brief or detailed review before the document's changes are approved for a next document version.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 10007649Abstract: A content management system is disclosed. The system includes at least one server, non-transitory storage, documents, entity-specific section weights, and entity-specific review thresholds. The system further includes at least two client computer systems that enable a user to access a document for at least one of review or modification. The system will, in response to receipt of an indication that changes have been made to one or more sections of a document, A) determine a change value indicative of a quantity of changes made within each section, B) calculate an entity-specific provenance value by multiplying, on a section basis, the change value within each section by the assigned entity-specific weight value for each section, to produce an entity-specific section value for each section, and then summing the entity-specific section values; and C) when any entity-specific provenance value satisfies a review threshold value, to construct and send a review notification.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 9817806Abstract: A method of providing for review of changes within documents involves storing an entity-specific weight value for each of multiple sections of a document, receiving an indication that changes have thereafter been made to one or more sections of the document, determining a change value indicative of a quantity of changes made within each section of the document, separately for at least each entity that is not the one that made the changes, calculating an entity-specific provenance value by multiplying the change value within each section by the assigned entity-specific weight value for each section, to produce an entity-specific section value for each section, and summing the entity-specific section values. The method further involves comparing the entity-specific provenance value against the respective entity's stored review threshold value, and when an entity-specific provenance value satisfies an entity's review threshold value, constructing and sending a review notification to that entity.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 8866509Abstract: Integrated circuits having groups of flip-flops with the option to ignore control signals are disclosed. For example, an integrated circuit comprises a first group and a second group of flip-flops that share a common reset signal, and a first selection unit for selecting a first output from among the common reset signal and a logical low signal to be sent to the second group of flop-flops. A selection of the logical low signal is for preventing the common reset signal from being applied to the flip-flops in the second group. The integrated circuit may also include a second selection unit for selecting a second output from among the common reset signal and a logical low signal to be sent to the first group of flop-flops. A selection of the logical low signal is for preventing the common reset signal from being applied to the flip-flops in the first group.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Xilinx, Inc.Inventors: Robert I.
