Patent number: 8670984Abstract: A custom-content audible representation of selected data content is automatically created for a user. The content is based on content preferences of the user (e.g., one or more web browsing histories). The content is aggregated, converted using text-to-speech technology, and adapted to fit in a desired length selected for the personalized audible representation. The length of the audible representation may be custom for the user, and may be determined based on the amount of time the user is typically traveling.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Eli M.

Patent number: 8635396Abstract: A method is provided for symmetric live migration of virtual machines. According to the method, a first least recently used map is generated for a set of memory pages of a first virtual machine. The first least recently used map includes metadata including memory page physical address location information. A first memory page of the first virtual machine and the metadata for the first memory page is sent from the first virtual machine to a second virtual machine while the first virtual machine is executing. A first memory page and meta data associated therewith of the second virtual machine is received from the second virtual machine. The memory pages of the first virtual machine are ordered from a first location of the first least recently used map to a last location of the first least recently used map based on how recently each of the memory pages of the first virtual machine has been used.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2012Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eli M.

Patent number: 8336099Abstract: Introspection data comparison is implemented utilizing hypervisor guest introspection data. A hypervisor shim on a hypervisor is used to construct one or more workload management components that are independent from a participating pool member of a pool comprising a guest having a guest memory and a guest operating system. The hypervisor collects a first set of data. The guest sends a second set of data comprising guest memory data from the guest memory. The first set of data is compared with the second set of data to detect at least one of a potential security intrusion or an anomalous deviation between the first set of data and the second set of data. A policy manager takes action based upon a result of the comparison of the first and second sets of data.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eli M.

Patent number: 8307405Abstract: A zero-trust policy is implemented in storage reports to provide a preventative measure against potential attack vectors. Introspection of a guest memory having a guest memory layout is performed. An operating system (OS) memory map is accepted. The guest memory layout is compared with the OS memory map. When the guest memory layout matches the OS memory map, the OS memory map is used to obtain one or more interested memory segments, and data processing is performed.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2008Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eli M.
