  • Patent number: 9898516
    Abstract: A computer manages methods for determining accurate document transformation by rendering the source document into a non-rasterized format, where the non-rasterized format is a rendered source document. The computer rendering the target document into a non-rasterized format, where the non-rasterized format is a rendered target document. The computer comparing one or more aspects of the rendered source document to corresponding one or more aspects of the rendered target document. The computer determining, based, at least in part, on the compared one or more aspects, whether or not the source document was accurately transformed to the target document.

  • Patent number: 9542563
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for accessing protected content includes a first computing device with at least one processor. The system determines one or more users associated with information required to access content of a protected document based on a set of rules. A request is generated and sent to at least one second computing device associated with the one or more determined users to retrieve and utilize the required information to access the content of the protected document. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for accessing protected content in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 8935213
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product and a system are provided for archiving emails, where the email system includes at least one user mailbox configured to receive and store emails within the user mailbox and send emails from the user mailbox. User-specific metadata corresponding with emails received and sent by each user mailbox is collected. The collected user-specific metadata is analyzed to provide a predictive indication when and which emails will be archived for each user mailbox, and emails are archived for user mailboxes based upon the predictive indication for each user mailbox.

  • Patent number: 8495650
    Abstract: A method for determining a number of threads to maximize system utilization. The method begins with determining a first value which corresponds to the current system utilization. Next the method determines a second value which corresponds to the current number of threads in the system. Next the method determines a third value which corresponds to the number of processor cores in the system. Next the method receives a fourth value from an end user which corresponds to the optimal system utilization the end user wishes to achieve. Next the method determines a fifth value which corresponds to the number of threads necessary to achieve the optimal system utilization value received from the end user. Finally, the method sends the fifth value to all running applications.
