Abstract: A class loader locates, at run time, a requested code component. The code component is preferably stored on a database, rather than in a file system, to improve its accessibility in a network computing environment. Code components are preferably stored in the database using an organizational structure that reflects a code isolation structure. In this manner, different versions of a particular code component can be retrieved in a transparent, automated manner, depending on information associated with the invocation thereof.

Abstract: An enclosed operating characteristic sensing system for a bicycle includes a sensing arrangement for sensing one or more operating characteristics of the bicycle, and an emitter responsive to the sensing arrangement for emitting a signal from a first location on the bicycle to a receiver located in a second location on the bicycle. The emitter is contained within an interior defined by a component of the bicycle at the first location on the bicycle, and the bicycle component is constructed so as to enable the emitted signal to pass through the component for transmission to the receiver. The sensing arrangement may be configured to sense power applied by an operator of the bicycle to impart movement to the bicycle.

Abstract: The present invention is a method, system, and computer program product for compiling Java code. In accordance with the present invention, Java code that references classes residing in a workspace can be complied. In accordance with the present invention, a workspace identifier is placed within the classpath to indicate the location of the referenced classes that may reside within a workspace. The present invention provides a compiler having a classpath wherein the compiler operates by performing the following steps: 1) determining if a referenced class file is located in a workspace; 2) locating the class file; 3) accessing the class file; and 4) returning the class file data to the compiler.

Abstract: A hidden watermark and methods of detecting and embedding such watermark is provided. The watermark is resistant to efforts to avoid the message thereof.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for sharing memory resources between several JVM processes. According to the present invention, Java software applications are loaded into a JVM in a manner suited for real-time server applications. When a JVM process is run, memory areas are created. For the initial JVM process, a heap memory area is assigned, and two separate class memory areas are created. One class memory area is reserved for the application class information, while a separate class memory area is created to hold the system class designations. The system class memory area can be shared by any subsequent JVM processes.

Abstract: A method of detecting a block-based watermark is provided. The method detects the location of the watermark within a frame of content data regardless of whether the watermark has been shifted or resized.

Abstract: The present invention is a method, system, and computer program product for editing dynamic web content. In accordance with the present invention, dynamic web content, such as JSP files, can be edited using the concept of workspaces. This allows a dynamic content file to be edited without affecting its associated web site during the editing process. A dynamic content file, such as JSP file, is edited or updated within a workspace, while the original dynamic content file remains available to users outside of the workspace.
