Abstract: A security system may be administered by interrogating a first user using a first security system that generates a user data set related to the first user's physiological characteristics. An access code may be determined based on the user data set. A range of activities may be enabled in accordance with the access code. A document related to the user action may be accessed so that a digital certificate may be embedded in the document using the user data set.

Abstract: A multi-tiered remote enterprise management system and method are disclosed, whereby the management tool sets can be located in a part of the enterprise's architecture so that relatively high levels of system reliability can be achieved, faster deployments of the system can be made, enterprise investments can be better leveraged, bandwidth requirements can be minimized, and private IP addressed networks used require no special engineering designs.

Abstract: A personal audio device (PAD) includes a communication interface enabling a wireless communication link between the PAD and a communication network. The communication interface is operable to receive an information transmission in a selected language from one or more audio sources coupled to the communication network. Each audio source communicates one or more information transmissions, where the information transmissions pertain to the same subject matter but are in different languages. The PAD also includes a controller operable to process one or more information transmissions received by the communication interface. In addition the PAD includes a user interface operable to receive a selection of a particular language in which a user desires to receive information.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for resource sharing includes a plurality of computer nodes associated with a network, each computer node including one or more electronic files, one or more hardware resources, an encryption utility operable to encrypt the electronic files that are stored in a respective searchable directory, a search utility operable to create a respective index file representing the respective electronic files that are stored in the respective searchable directory, and a computing utility operable to allocate a portion of at least one of the hardware resources for use by other computer nodes.

Abstract: A method includes storing one or more quantitative values associated with one or more innovation capabilities of an organization. Each quantitative value is also associated with one of a plurality of innovation levels. The method also includes determining an expected innovation level for the organization. The expected innovation level comprises one of the plurality of innovation levels. The method further includes identifying an innovation capability having a quantitative value associated with an innovation level that falls below the expected innovation level value. In addition, the method includes identifying one or more solutions associated with the identified innovation capability. The one or more solutions are operable to increase the innovation level associated with the quantitative value.

Abstract: A method and system for automating business processes include the ability to determine an appropriate function in a business process, generate a command to execute the function, and receive a message indicating that the function is complete. The method and system also include the ability to determine another appropriate function in the business process and generate a command to execute the second function.
