Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for estimating, refining, and using the tare mass for an item to determine and monitor item depletion. In response to detecting an initial presence of an item in the storage unit, a controller collects data about the item. The controller then searches a database for a recorded item containing the same item identification. The tare mass of the item is set equal to the refined tare mass of the recorded item retrieved from the database. The tare mass is then used to calculate a depletion threshold for the item.

Abstract: An integration server architecture (ISA) that facilitates communication between processes that do not share a common message format or use a common communication protocol. The ISA comprises a combination of adapters and a Queuing and Translation Engine (QTE). Every process that uses the ISA must have an adapter designed to understand that process's native message format. The adapter forwards the message to the QTE. The QTE places the forwarded message in an incoming message queue (IMQ). The QTE then retrieves messages from the IMQ in the order they arrive, identifies the sender, and locates an entry for the sender in a Configuration Database (CDB). The CDB entry designates a translation map that enables the QTE to properly translate messages into the receiving process's native format. The QTE uses the map to translate the messages into the receiving process's native format, and then forwards the translated message to the appropriate adapter.

Abstract: A generic catalog build process which takes information and combines and displays the information in a number of ways, such that the process allows incorporation of a plurality of different builds in an organized and extensible way.

Abstract: System, method and program for managing a production server. An authentication server sends to the production server via a network a group password for a GroupID to access a file in the production server. A user at a workstation sends via a network to the authentication server an individual UserID and corresponding individual password for the user and a request for the group password for the GroupID to access a file in the production server protected by the group password. In response, the authentication server authenticates the individual UserID with the corresponding individual password and returns to the workstation the group password for the GroupID. After receiving the group password from the authentication server, the user at the workstation sends via a network to the production server the group password and GroupID and a request to access the file in the production server protected by the group password.

Abstract: A method for electroless plating of metal on a laser-patterned substrate. A substrate is provided on which both a thermal imaging layer and catalytic layer are deposited. On exposure to a laser beam, sufficient levels of radiation are converted to heat in the thermal imaging layer to render the exposed regions of the adjacent catalytic layer inactive. The laser-patterned substrate is then exposed to a reaction solution which initiates the growth of a metal film on the unexposed regions of the catalytic layer.

The band adjusts to accommodate the size of the item being supported or the size of the structure to which the device is mounted.

Abstract: Container manifests are tracked using a radio frequency identification (RFID) contents reader affixed to a container in which a plurality of RFID-tagged items are disposed, the contents reader being configured to collect and store identification information from all of the tagged items; and using an active RFID tag emulator affixed to the container which responds to an external reader activation code by receiving the collected information from the affixed RFID contents reader, and by transmitting the identification information to the external reader.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, system, and computer usable program code for monitoring a real-time depletion of an item in a storage unit. A controller identifies an item placed in the storage unit to form an identified item. The controller detects a change in mass sensor data from a mass sensor shelf in a set of mass sensor shelves associated with the storage unit. The controller associates the change in mass sensor data with the identified item to form a current mass for the identified item. The controller determines a depletion of the identified item based a difference between the current mass and a previous mass for the identified item.

Abstract: An auditing system is disclosed comprising a Policy Validation Mechanism Program (PVMP) that operates in conjunction with a Workflow Engine (WE), and a Policy Validation Server Program (PVSP) that operates on a Policy Validation Server (PVS) connected to the WE by a secure communication link. The PVMP converts a workflow to a workflow representation (WR) and sends the WR to the PVS. The PVSP compares the steps in the WR to a security policy identified for that WR and determines whether the WR is in compliance. In addition, the PVSP validates a checksum for the WR and logs the checksum for subsequent comparisons. The PVSP uses the checksum to determine whether a policy has changed during execution of the workflow. If the WR is not in compliance, if the checksum cannot be validated, or if a policy has changed, then a failure notification is sent to the WE. Otherwise, a success notification is sent to the WR.

Abstract: A means for a person in distress to use a mobile device to communicate covertly with an Emergency Response Center is provided. The means contains a response designed not to alert an abductor of the communication as well as to indicate whether the person is indeed in distress. The means also allows the Emergency Response Center to locate both the distressed person and a mobile device using GPS or triangulation. The device may be in regular operation mode or in distress mode. When the device is in the distress mode, it will appear to be in normal operating mode if in operation or it will appear to be off if off. In addition, the device may be used for forensic purposes since it may provide voice and video data of the situation at an emergency location to the Emergency Response Center.

Abstract: Multiple speaker cadence is managed for translated conversations by separating a multi-speaker audio stream into single-speaker audio tracks containing one or more first language audio snippets organized according to a timing relationship as related in the multi-speaker audio stream, generating a pause relationship model by determining time relationships between the single-speaker snippets and assigning pause marker values denoting the each beginning and each ending of each mutual silence pause, collecting a translated language audio track corresponding to each single-speaker track, generating pause relationship controls according the pause relationship model, and producing a translated multi-speaker audio output including the translated tracks in which the translated snippets are related in time according to the pause relationship controls.

Abstract: Routing data packet traffic in packet networks, expediting the flow of the data packets and reducing the effects of congestion at nodes is accomplished by capturing latency data for nodes for initial measurement times; and computing a least squares estimate of the delay as a recursive least-squares solution.
