Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for migrating an application on a source computer system, which may be a legacy application running on an out-of-date operating system, to a container host running on a target computer system.

Abstract: An interface server (e.g., Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) server) is communicatively connected to an information management (IM) server and to an online application server which acts as a client of the interface server. When a user wishes to open, create, or edit a document in an online application hosted by the online application server, the interface server is called, instead of the IM server which manages the document at the backend of an enterprise computing network. The interface server is configured for obtaining a working copy of the document from the IM server and providing the working copy to the client. The client provides the working copy to the online application for display on the user device. When the work is done, the working copy is sync'd back through the interface server to the IM server as a new draft and deleted by the interface server.

Abstract: Methods and systems for locational visualization of financial statements are described. In an example, a method may receive, in a financial institution system, a request to display a record associated with a financial transaction, determine a location of a merchant associated with the financial transaction using merchant information, request, from an online mapping service, a customizable map interface associated with the location of the merchant, receive the customizable map interface, and display the customizable map interface integrated into the record associated with the financial transaction.

Abstract: An image of a check may be presented for payment in a banking system in place of the physical paper check. The check to be deposited can be collected from a depositor using a scanner. A web site, accessed through a depositor's web browser, can be used to drive the process of collecting the check, but in some contexts (e.g., in less popular computing environments, such as those that do not run the most popular operating systems), it is economically infeasible to obtain the certificates that would be used to allow a program executing in the web browser to control the scanner. Thus, a depositor can be instructed to capture and upload images of the check in the form of files, where the image files are then presented for payment through a banking system.

Abstract: An elastic band, at least a portion of which is elastic and including a woven slit made in the elastic band to hold an object. The band can also have two woven slits which form an elastic loop which can be used to hold an object, such as a writing implement or other tool.

Abstract: The present invention provides acoustically activated liposome compositions for use as drug delivery vehicles, and to methods for drug release and drug delivery for therapeutic applications including Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.

Abstract: An apparatus having a flexible conduit which includes a flexible member and a rigid member in fluid communication with the flexible member, and a releasable connector. The releasable connector has a first member and a second member. When a releasing force is applied to the flexible conduit, the releasable connector separates. The apparatus also includes a shock absorber to configured to absorb a load when the releasable connector separates. The shock absorber may include elastomeric pads between rigid plates, a rotary dampener, a spring, rod and piston, or an elastic strap.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a flexible conduit which includes a flexible member and a rigid member in fluid communication with the flexible member. The apparatus has a releasable connector and a shock absorber. The releasable connector has a first member and a second member. When a releasing force is applied to the flexible conduit, the releasable connector separates. The shock absorber is configured to absorb a load when the releasable connector separates. The shock absorber may include a compressible material that includes a metal, such as a metal foam or a corrugated metal sheet. The releasable connector and the shock absorber may be integrally formed together.

Abstract: Method and system for dispensing molten wax into molds by means of a desktop apparatus is disclosed. The invention being comprised of a heating chamber, temperature controller, metering dispenser, adjustable base, lighting strip and protective viewing cabinet. Said invention allowing wax to be melted and maintained at a temperature below the melting point of mold materials such as; but not limited to, filaments commonly used in 3D printing and the like. An object of the invention is to allow users to quickly position and fill custom molds for fabrication processes such as candle and jewelry making.

Abstract: The present invention provides acoustically activated liposome compositions for use as drug delivery vehicles, and to methods for drug release and drug delivery for therapeutic applications.

Abstract: A fastener driver apparatus suitable for guiding and driving electrical staples into timber or on any other suitable mounting surface is presented. The fastener driver contains a driver body, a driver rod, and a fastener guide. The driver body contains a first driver channel and a mounting end. The mounting end is positioned adjacent to the driver body. The first driver channel traverses through the driver body and the mounting end. The driver rod is slidably connected to the driver body. The fastener guide is connected adjacent to the mounting end.

Abstract: A hearing device adapted for use by a wearer comprises an audio streaming circuit configured to receive electromagnetic audio streaming via a first communication link. A configuration circuit is configured to receive configuration parameters via a second communication link different from the first communication link for configuring the hearing device to receive the electromagnetic audio streaming. Control circuitry of the hearing device configures the hearing device to enable reception of the electromagnetic audio streaming in accordance with the received configuration parameters.

Abstract: A sealed encoder module for mounting onto a machine so as to measure relative displacement of first and second parts of the machine. The sealed encoder module can comprise, a scale, a readhead comprising a scale signal receiver, and an integral protective housing which encapsulates at least the scale and said scale signal receiver. The sealed encoder module can be configured to determine and output diagnostic information regarding a scale signal detected by the readhead.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a hearing device with selective adjustment of processor settings based on various characteristics of an input sound, in response to adjustment of output sound volume by a user. This addresses problems of undesirable sound effects resulting from applying same changes to processor settings to input sounds of all levels, frequencies, and classes.

Abstract: A backup recovery and testing method is disclosed. The recovery method restores backed-up systems according to a stored configuration, and collects logs as the restored systems start up. The collected logs are compared with stored baseline logs, by a process which includes parsing the logs into templates and parameters, and identifying anomalies automatically for example by principal component analysis. Anomalies identified may be used to modify the stored configuration.
