Patent number: 9129105Abstract: Techniques for managing accounts are provided. An access management system may check out credentials for accessing target systems. For example a user may receive a password for a period of time or until checked back in. Access to the target system may be logged during this time. Upon the password being checked in, a security account may modify the password so that the user may not log back in without checking out a new password. Additionally, in some examples, password policies for the security account may be managed. As such, when a password policy changes, the security account password may be dynamically updated. Additionally, in some examples, hierarchical viewing perspectives may be determined and/or selected for visualizing one or more managed accounts. Further, accounts may be organized into groups based on roles, and grants for the accounts may be dynamically updated as changes occur or new accounts are managed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Clayton Donley, Mark Edward Wilcox, Fannie Ho, Ming-Yau Chou, Duncan V. Phillips, Tal Moscovitz

Patent number: 7970943Abstract: A system manages information exchanges between components of the system so that information is provided in a format expected by each particular component. In a specific implementation, a translation service provider intercepts information exchanges between client and data sources or data services and translates of converts software identifiers (e.g., UUIDs or GUIDs) as needed so that the client or data source can properly process the data. For example, a client may use GUIDs in a first format, and when information is requested is presented using a GUID in a second format, different from the first, the translation service provider translates a GUID to the first format. The translation service provider may be transparent to the other components of the system.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: David Cheng-Fang Lin, Mark Edward Wilcox

Patent number: 4960479Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an automobile sunvisor, wherein a pair of overcoatings for the sunvisor, the rear surface of which is respectively covered with a layer of thermoplastic resin, is pressure-welded between an upper electrode member and a lower electrode member and cut at the same position without displacement, thus forming no protruding welded portion in the periphery of the sunvisor. Moreover, the pair of the overcoatings can be securely welded to each other without any particular portion for welding prepared in the overcoatings because the thermoplastic resin is melted inside the sealed portion of the pair of overcoatings during the pressure-welding.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1990Date of Patent: October 2, 1990Assignee: Delta Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshikazu Yasuda, Kazuaki Tsubota, Shiro Tanimoto
