Patent number: 8719002Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for revising content translations using shared translation databases are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A translation of some content is presented to a user. A revision to a first portion of the translation is received from the user. A second portion of the translation is identified using the shared translation database, the second portion being a candidate for revising using the revision. The second portion is suggested for revision. The second portion may be identified without user interaction. The revision may be submitted for review along with user-selected portions, and an approval may be received. The user's access to the shared translation database may be controlled such that the user is able to interact with the shared translation database to identify the second portion but the user may be unable to modify the shared translation database.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven Francis Best, Robert James Eggers, Jr., Janice Marie Girouard, David Bruce Kumhyr

Patent number: 8407693Abstract: A technique for managing package dependencies for an application installation. A set of used files for the application and a package for a respective file in the set of used files are identified, and names of the identified packages are added to an original package list of package names for the application, wherein the original package list defines package dependencies. Responsive to a determination that the identified packages can be located, that the files within the identified packages can be found, and that the files within the identified packages were used, the original list of package names for the application is updated to form an updated list of managed package dependencies. A difference list between the updated list and the original list of package names is created, and the application is selectively installed using a combination of the original list of package names and the difference list.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven Francis Best, Robert James Eggers, Jr., Janice Marie Girouard, Kevin William Monroe

Patent number: 8312430Abstract: A mechanism for providing a source code control system that employs test case execution results to mandate that software code have a specific level of quality for check-in to a central repository. A request to check-in a modified copy of a source code file to a repository is received, wherein the modified copy comprises changes to the source code file located in the repository. The modified copy of the source code file is placed in a quality check pending state in the repository. Responsive to an occurrence of a specific event or expiration of a set time period, applicable regression test cases are executed against the changes in the modified copy. A determination is made as to whether the regression test cases are successful. If the regression test cases are successful, the changes in the modified copy are committed to the source code file located in the repository.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Debora O'Berry Best, Steven Francis Best, Robert James Eggers, Jr., Janice Marie Girouard

Patent number: 7921235Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a cable management system, a computer program product, a cable, a method for manufacturing a cable, and a method for guiding a user in identifying a connection location for a cable of interest. A processor, in a data processing system, receives a cable identification from the cable of interest. The processor then matches at least one connection location with the cable of interest based on the cable identification. Responsive to matching the at least one connection location with the cable of interest, the processor activates an indicator that identifies the at least one connection location for connecting the cable of interest.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven Francis Best, Robert James Eggers, Jr., Janice Marie Girouard, Craig Anthony Klein
