Patent number: 9384011Abstract: A method for managing a user interface desktop workspace is provided. The method includes selecting applications in a desktop environment rendered in memory of a computer. The method also includes querying each of the selection applications, capturing through the querying, attributes for each of the selected applications and writing references to the selected applications and corresponding ones of the captured attributes to a workspace profile. The method further includes generating a workspace object from the workspace profile. Finally, the method includes configuring the workspace object in the desktop environment to respond to activation by loading each of the applications in the workspace profile using the corresponding ones of the captured attributes in the workspace profile.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William C. Bulko, Glenn D. Johnson, David B. Kumhyr, Jacobo A. Vargas, Yvonne M. Young

Patent number: 8242793Abstract: Counterfeit electronic devices are detected by comparing a thermal profile of the counterfeit device and an authentic device under predetermined operating conditions. A thermal profile for an authentic electronic device is recorded executing an instruction set over time, such as with static infrared images at predetermined times, video infrared images over a predetermined time period or temperature measurements made at predetermined locations of the electronic device. In one embodiment, a thermal profile indicates that a processor device has been used in the place of a field programmable grid array device. In an alternative embodiment, an electromagnetic profile is detected instead of or in addition to the thermal profile. The electromagnetic profile of an authentic device is used to create an expected profile for comparison with an electromagnetic profile of electronic devices under test.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David B. Kumhyr, Glenn D. Johnson, William C. Bulko, Jacobo A. Vargas, Yvonne M. Young

Patent number: 5700375Abstract: An efficient method removes oxidants from fluids (gases and liquids, particularly air) by means of solid phase extraction or reaction. The solid phase extraction or reaction medium comprises a porous, preferably fibrous, polymeric, membrane or web in which are incorporated oxidant scavenger particulates. Typical oxidants removed in the method include ozone, oxides of nitrogen, halogen, and peroxides. The method of the invention protects organic analytes in analytical applications and removes oxidants in remediation applications by use of oxidant scavenger particles in porous membranes.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1996Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Donald F. Hagen, Kenneth M. Hart, Glenn D. Johnson

Patent number: 5599144Abstract: A drill bit, and associated method of manufacture, characterized by the presence of a low friction coating on the drill flute surfaces and the absence of such coating from the facets on the cutting surfaces of the drill bit. In one form, a tungsten carbide based microdrill bit is coated with a high temperature diamond like carbon to a layer thickness measured in microns. The cutting facets of the microdrill bit are then ground to expose the tungsten carbide material. The microdrill bit formed thereby is particularly useful in creating holes through multilayer printed circuit boards as a part of forming electrical vias. Low friction flute surface coated microdrills exhibit materially longer drill life, better drill location accuracy, can operate at materially greater chiploads, and produce higher quality holes through printed circuit boards.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1995Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Bickham, Richard W. Burns, Glenn D. Johnson, Joe Negron, Oliver K. Sparkman, Dale W. Wilhite
