  • Environment wide configuration system
    Patent number: 8151273
    Abstract: An installation and configuration system consolidates workloads of multiple applications and services, including applications or services that may be installed or configured on multiple server devices or remotely hosted services. The system gathers environmental information, analyzes dependencies among the workloads, and populates the input data used by the workloads from a common database. The system then executes the workloads, allowing branching within the workloads or the sequence of workloads. An example of branching may include detecting an error condition, pausing the sequence, and presenting alternative fixes to a user.

  • Memorable Telephone Number Identification
    Publication number: 20100239084
    Abstract: A computing device includes a processing unit and a system memory connected to the processing unit. The system memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to: retrieve a pool of telephone numbers; analyze repeating digits and perform pattern matching for each number in the pool of telephone numbers; associate a memorability score with one or more of the numbers in the pool of telephone numbers; and sort the pool of telephone numbers based on the memorability score to create a sorted list of numbers.
