Abstract: Icon integrity is managed. A notification for a selected icon is received and a determination is made whether a set of properties exists for the selected icon. Responsive to determining the existence and verification of the authenticity of the set of properties, the computer implemented method analyzes the set of properties to determine permission and authentication and responsive to determining the permission and authentication, allows execution of an executable function associated with the icon.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for managing an out of order dispatched instruction queue in a microprocessor. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus include assigning a group identification number and a target identification number to an instruction in an instruction stream. The group identification number and the target identification number are labeled inside an instruction fetcher unit. The group identification number and the target identification number are pre-decoded. The instruction is sent to an instruction queue. The instruction is re-ordered in the instruction stream after executing the instruction utilizing information from the pre-decoding of the group identification number and the target identification number.

Abstract: A system thinker application receives a first issue, a first resolution to the first issue, and a first plurality of skills. The system thinker application searches a system environment electronic profile for a second issue, a second resolution to the second issue, and a second plurality of skills, wherein the system environment electronic profile contains a plurality of component profiles, and wherein the plurality of component profiles contain a second issue, a second resolution to the second issue, and a second plurality of skills. The system thinker application determines if the first issue, the first resolution to the first issue, and any one of the first plurality of skills are similar to any one of the second issue, the second resolution to the second issue, and any one of the second plurality of skills. The system thinker application adds skills to the system environment electronic profile and the component profile.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and apparatus for monitoring patterns of motion are provided. A signal is received from a sensor on a user, wherein movement of the user causes the sensor to generate power to emit a signal indicative of the movement of the user. The signal is analyzed to form a current pattern of motion. The current pattern of motion is compared to a baseline pattern of motion associated with the user. A difference between the current pattern of motion and the baseline pattern of motion associated with the user is determined to form a difference. The difference is compared to a predetermined threshold. Responsive to the difference exceeding the predetermined threshold, an alert is sent.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for managing an out of order dispatched instruction queue in a microprocessor. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus include assigning a group identification number and a target identification number to an instruction in an instruction stream. The group identification number and the target identification number are labeled after a pre-decoding stage inside an instruction fetcher unit. The group identification number and the target identification number are pre-decoded. The instruction is sent to an instruction queue. The instruction is re-ordered in the instruction stream after executing the instruction utilizing information from the pre-decoding of the group identification number and the target identification number.

Responsive to determining the existence and verification of the authenticity of the set of properties, the computer implemented method analyzes the set of properties to determine permission and authentication and responsive to determining the permission and authentication, allows execution of an executable function associated with the icon.

Abstract: A computer controlled display system for generating quality assurance surveys to be interactively taken by suppliers on computer display systems that will aid those making purchasing decisions to select suppliers that are most likely to provide products having the quality assurance required by the purchasers. The quality level of each of a set of quality attributes of a component supplier are assessed and there is generated for each of the quality attributes a template for delimiting subsets of the plurality of questions in the survey database being presented to said supplier based upon the quality level of the attribute. In operation of the system, the assessing of the quality level includes determining one of a plurality of quality levels for each of the set of quality attributes and the template for delimiting subsets of questions includes generating a different subset of questions for each of the quality levels for each attribute.
