Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for protecting confidential information in a document displayed in a user interface. A computer displays in the user interface a non-confidential part of the document without displaying a confidential part of the document and without displaying any indication that the document includes the confidential part. While the computer displays the non-confidential part of the document without displaying the confidential part of the document and without displaying any indication that the document includes the confidential part, the computer receives from a user authentication information and a request for display of the confidential part of the document, if any, and in response to the authentication information and the request, the computer displaying the confidential part of the document along with the non-confidential part of the document.

Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product are directed towards determination of a variable toll for a particular target vehicle using a particular point-to-point travel segment of a particular toll road. The variable toll is calculated predicated upon a deviation of an instantaneous point-to-point traffic volume for the particular target vehicle exiting the toll road in comparison with an arbitrarily determined baseline point-to-point traffic volume. The instantaneous point-to-point traffic volume includes vehicles traveling at least a portion of the same point-to-point travel segment as the target vehicle during an effective time interval when the target vehicle traveled the point-to-point travel segment.

Abstract: A system for cooling electronic equipment is provided. The system includes enclosures with front and rear doors for holding assemblages of electronics, front and rear heat exchangers housed within each of the front and rear doors, respectively, a series of separate supply lines configured with control valves and flow control sensors that provide liquid coolant to each of the heat exchangers, a series of separate return lines configured with temperature sensors for exiting coolant from each of the heat exchangers, separate air purging valves for each of the supply and return lines and a series of spray shields. The spray shields prevent coolant leaks from entering an inlet airflow and protect the electronics from coolant leaks. The control valves are actuated by a controller in response to readings from the temperature and flow control sensors to separately control coolant flow to each of the front and rear heat exchangers.

Abstract: An interactive computer supported display system for managing the time allocation of presentation segments, such as individual slides. The presentation segments are each preassigned a presentation time duration and a warning time threshold for signaling the approach to the end of the preassigned time duration of each presentation segment. The actual presentation time used during presentation of each segment is compared to the preassigned time duration and warning threshold to issue warnings to the presenter and to carry forward any surplus or deficit time due to underrun or overrun of the preassigned time. The time surplus or deficit carried forward may be allocated by adding to or subtracting from the preassigned presentation times of subsequent presentation segments based upon a preassigned priority level assigned to each presentation segment.

Abstract: Methods, including service methods, articles of manufacture, systems, articles and programmable devices provide personalized, real-time travel information to a passenger of a transit system. A passenger provides a destination input to a programmable personal digital assistant, which establishes wireless communication with a wireless broadcast system of a transit system and uploads current routing and scheduling information, processing and presenting information to the passenger as a function of destination and passenger preference. The personal digital assistant also selects and wirelessly locates and communicates directly with the identified transport, alerts the passenger of a recommended boarding opportunity, recognizes a boarding by the passenger, confirms that a boarded transport is the recommended transport, and communicates a disembark alert to if the boarded transport is not the recommended transport or upon an arrival at a destination, the alert configured pursuant to the passenger preference.
