Abstract: Method, apparatus, computer programs and data structures are provided, according to at least one embodiment, wherein an author of digital content identifies at least some trusted code that the author trusts to be used to read digital content, and stores information in the unit of digital content that is capable of identifying the trusted code. In at least some embodiments, the unit of digital content is an electronic document. In other embodiments, a publisher of the trusted code, or an author of the digital content, signs the trusted code with a private key, and a certificate associated with the private key is embedded in the unit of digital content. The certificate may provide public key information associated with the private key. The public key may be used to verify that code is trusted before it is allowed access to the unit of digital content.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for wireless power transmission between an external power source and an electric mobility vehicle.

Abstract: A method and composition for absorbing ionizing radiation in air flow systems. A neutron poison is used in combination with a binder and is applied to a filter of an air flow system with the result that ionizing radiation is absorbed from the filter and air.

Abstract: A system and method provide selective access to portions of digital content. A request to access a digital content item is received, the digital content item including multiple portions. Responsive to the request, multiple policies relating respectively to the multiple portions of the digital content item are identified. Access to the multiple portions of the digital content item is selectively enabled, based on the multiple policies.

Abstract: A digital rights management retrieval system is provided. In some embodiments, a digital rights management system includes receiving a first notification from a first client device of a first protected content transaction for a first user with a first content distributor, wherein the first notification includes a first network address for the first content distributor; receiving a second notification from the first client device of a second protected content transaction by the first user with a second content distributor, wherein the second notification includes a second network address for the second content distributor; and maintaining a first list of content distributors for the first user, wherein the first list includes a network address for each content distributor from which the first user has downloaded protected content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products, for creating and using documents with machine-readable codes. A computer program receives user data provided for one or more fields in an electronic document, generates input data containing the user data and metadata that provides a self-contained description of the user data, encodes the input data into a machine-readable code, and generates a final representation of the electronic document with a display of the machine-readable code. Upon reading the machine-readable code, the metadata can be used to identify a set of fields in a target system to which to assign the user data. In some embodiments, the metadata and the user data can be transformed and sent to a target system. The use of metadata in this manner enables machine-readable codes to maintain a physical representation of data that facilitates transfer of the data back into an electronic environment.

Abstract: A system and method of operation for a distributed media network and meta data server provides a low cost, efficient, reliable and versatile alternative to traditional media network systems. Multiple media data file servers are designated as primary or alternate data file servers for different media data media files. Related or linked media data files may be distributed throughout a media network which results in lower peak bandwidth usage at each media data file server. Each server in the distributed media network responds more quickly and efficiently due to its limited functionality and scope of media data files that it must server. Media data file servers transfer low bandwidth meta data to client devices allowing a significant increase in the number of clients which can simultaneously log in to a dedicated network server.

Abstract: A customer communication is responded to by receiving an utterance from the customer at an agent that executes on a data processing system. The agent uses a knowledge base that includes information extracted from one or more exemplary conversations to generate a response to the received utterance. The agent then sends the generated response to the customer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products, for creating and using documents with machine-readable codes. A computer program displays a list of fields in an electronic document, receives user input selecting one or more of the fields, automatically generates generation instructions for a machine-readable code to be displayed in a final appearance of the electronic document, and stores the generation instructions in the electronic document. The generation instructions specify that the machine-readable code is to be produced using data to be provided for the selected fields. In some embodiments, the program can also evaluate the user input, as well as user modifications made to the electronic document, to determine whether the machine-readable code is validly configured. By guiding users through the process of setting up machine-readable codes, the program can help users create forms with machine-readable codes that have a high probability of being scanned and decoded successfully.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring unauthorized changes to a database and providing a notification to a user according to preferences set by the user. The user can select one or more data entries within a database to be monitored. When these data entries are changed, a notification is sent to the user. The user can also select a credit score or rating within the database to be monitored. When the credit rating changes, a notification can also be sent to the user. Notifications regarding interest rates, prices, and other financial information associated with a change in a credit score or rating can also be sent to the user according to preferences set by the user.
