Patent number: 9881311Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for a product. Two or more fingerprints are selected, where each fingerprint includes digital data describing a corresponding virtual customer. By a computer processor, a first fingerprint is loaded to emulate a first virtual customer. A first price query is submitted to a vendor's web service for the product, where the first price query uses the loaded first fingerprint. A second fingerprint is loaded to emulate a second virtual customer. A second price query is submitted to the vendor's web service for the product, where the second price query uses the loaded second fingerprint. Two or more prices are received from the vendor's web service, including a first price received in response to the first price query and a second price received in response to the second price query. A lowest price is selected from among the prices received.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Christopher J.

Publication number: 20150187373Abstract: Methods for fabricating a shield structure for a pole tip of a write element for magnetic recording are disclosed. In illustrated embodiments disclosed, a side shield deposition is etched below a front edge surface of the pole tip and one or more depositions are deposited on the etched side shield deposition to form a side shield structure having an extended gap region to enhance performance of the write element. In illustrated embodiments, multiple gap depositions are deposited to form the extended gap region and side shield structure. One or both of the multiple gap depositions are etched to remove outer portions of the deposition prior to depositing the front shield structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2013Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Denis O'Donnell, John Rooney, Thomas McLaughlin

Patent number: 7287057Abstract: A system and method for transmitting messages from a client messaging application to a third party application is shown. The method includes registering with a set of client messaging applications for sending and receiving messages. A message includes an information request. A message is received from the one of the client messaging applications and the destination of the message is determined. The third party application determined to be the destination of the message is then selected and the message is transmitted to the third party application. In the event that the message included an information request, a return message is received from the third party application. The return message includes the requested information. The destination of the return message is determined. The client messaging application determined to be the destination of the return message is selected and the return message is transmitted to the client messaging application.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2001Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Konrad C.

Publication number: 20070178246Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a low-odor, printed packaging material and the printed packaging material produced thereby. The printed packaging material of the present invention is especially suitable for packaging of substances, such as food, drugs and tobacco, which require low odor from printing inks. In this process, the printed ink is activated by exposure to actinic radiation, such as UV light, before an actinic-radiation curable coating is applied thereto. The exposure of the printed ink to UV light reduces residual solvent content and odor of the packaging material and improves the friction resistance and gloss of the printed images. Furthermore, the exposure of the printed packaging material to UV light provides an additional benefit of reducing microbial count, thereby extending a shelf-life of the packaged substance, such as food and drugs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2005Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: David Biro, John Rooney

Publication number: 20070016655Abstract: A peer-to-peer network propagates searches from client to client. Resources within each client are selectively searched in response to authentication and authorization processes. Authentication information may be included in a search request or may be performed by an authentication process external to the client. Authorization is performed by a process external to the client. Only after authentication or authorization may resources of any particular client be accessed. The system allows for secure propagated searches and resource access in a peer-to-peer network environment. The network may further include a server for maintaining a list of clients connected to the peer-to-peer network in order to more efficiently facilitate peer-to-peer communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2006Publication date: January 18, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian Goodman, John Rooney, Ramesh Subramanian, William Sweeney

Publication number: 20060149826Abstract: An index server support for file sharing applications is disclosed. A way of retrieving an index server includes sending a request for investigating a hierarchical structure of index servers in a network to a known index server, intercepting the investigation request by the first index server that becomes aware of the investigation request, notifying an originator of the investigation request of the intercepting index server identity, dropping the intercepted request is dropped by the intercepting index server. The originator of the investigation request then registers the intercepting index server as addressee for future file querying requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2003Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventor: John Rooney
