Patent number: 10760915Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for synchronizing a plurality of nodes is provided. The present invention may include receiving a synchronization request from a first node. The present invention may include sending an invitee request to a second node. The present invention may then include receiving node data and constraints. The present invention may include generating valid actions based on the node data and the constraints. The present invention may include determining a projected arrival time for each node based on the node data. The present invention may include determining a late node based on the projected arrival time of the late node exceeding a threshold time. The present invention may include determining a corrective action associated with the late node based on the projected arrival time and the valid actions. The present invention may include sending the corrective action to the late node.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Giovanna Cannizzaro, Patrizia Manganelli, Elisa Matteagi, Alessandro Raniolo

Patent number: 10631242Abstract: A method for providing on-demand wireless signals. The method includes activating a wireless connectivity feature of a wireless transmission device. The wireless transmission device then determines that no wireless devices within range of the wireless transmission device are connected to or attempting to connect to a computer network using the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device. Upon determining that no wireless devices within range of the wireless transmission device are connected to or attempting to connect to the network using the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device, the wireless transmission device then deactivates the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Giovanna Cannizzaro, Patrizia Manganelli, Elisa Matteagi, Alessandro Raniolo

Patent number: 8196197Abstract: Methods, systems, and products for preventing the selection of trivial character combinations in passwords. Methods may include maintaining a database of trivial patterns representing sequences on the keyboard and independent from the starting point of the sequence. When a new password is proposed a check is done to verify if the pattern of the new password matches with an existing “forbidden” pattern and in such case it is refused by the system. Any number and kind of trivial patterns may be forbidden. The security administrator may choose patterns which should not be permitted.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Giovanna Cannizzaro, Patrizia Manganelli, Alessandro Raniolo
