  • Patent number: 10628437
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods of managing normally independent or unassociated business artifacts using an integrated business artifact management system (IBAMS) to deliver a cohesive, linked, and traceable network of related and integrated artifacts that supports improved business knowledge and impact analysis. A disclosed IBAMS includes a collection of integrated business artifacts stored in a memory of the IBAMS and a plurality of links, each associated with a respective data island of a plurality of data islands. Each link includes a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor of the IBAMS, cause the processor to: receive business artifacts from the respective data island; generate representations that are abstractions of the business artifacts received from the respective data island; and store and integrate the representations in the collection of integrated business artifacts.

  • Publication number: 20150128289
    Abstract: A technique for distributed management of attributes includes propagating attributes based upon attribute-granularity permissions. An example of a system according to the technique may include a server, coupled to a first client and a second client, that includes a module that receives attribute data from the first client; a permissions database where first permissions associated with the first client are set at the individual attribute level for the second client; an engine for updating the permissions database and for validating the first permissions for the second client; and an engine for distributing first client updates based on validated permissions to destinations associated with the one or more second destination stores.

  • Publication number: 20140298151
    Abstract: A method may include: retrieving a particular blank universal form based on a universal form template, the particular blank universal form having a universal form identifier, and the particular blank universal form created by a universal form creator; providing the particular blank universal form to a universal form filler; receiving a verified form from a universal form filler, the verified form corresponding to the particular blank universal form; and providing the verified form to the universal form creator.

  • Publication number: 20130275472
    Abstract: A method may include: maintaining one or more attributes of a first user; maintaining a risk profile scheme configured by the first user, the risk profile scheme comprising a passive permission table indicating whether a second user has permission to the one or more attributes; allowing the first user to grant dynamic permissions to the second user to access the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme; allowing the first user to perform content blobulation of the one or more attributes; and allowing the first user to perform content reblobulation of the one or more attributes in accordance with the risk profile scheme.

  • Patent number: 8463813
    Abstract: Granting permissions for attributes in a distributed data store involves implementing a federated control system. The system can include dynamic permissions granted to content blobs. Acknowledgment of dynamic permissions facilitates identification of users that receive content to enable restoring data on a machine following data loss. Acceptance of dynamic permissions can further facilitate automatic updates to data, or providing content blobs in response to changes in user attributes.

  • Patent number: 8108533
    Abstract: Creating an agency relationship among clients of a computer system with respect to personal privileged, or otherwise sensitive permissions and/or attributes, is described. The technique enables a querying client to obtain permission and/or attributes from a queried client, even if the queried client is unavailable.

  • Patent number: 7966760
    Abstract: The present invention is a modular stock system for rifles. The system replaces the rifle's buffer tube with a modified one containing a mount for a constant cheek weld and a rail track for adjustment. A stock module then mounts on the replacement buffer tube. The stock module is interchangeable depending on the user's needs. Various configurations of the stock module are discussed, including adjustable stocks, fixed stocks, and specialized stocks. The stock module may be made even further modular by the addition of rail system.

  • Publication number: 20070162450
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for controlling query access to attributes associated with subscribers of a system. Permission setting variables are provided to allow subscribers considerable control over query access to attributes associated with the subscribers. A subscriber may manipulate one or more permission setting variables to control aspects of the response a querying party may receive when a query matches attributes associated with the subscriber. Advantages of the invention include flexible management of query access to subscriber information.

  • Patent number: 7207131
    Abstract: Integral extensions to aid in the extraction of ammunition magazines from ammunition pouches are provided by permanently attaching a handle to existing or modified floor plates. In one embodiment, a substitute floor plate is molded with a handle projecting from its outer face. In a second embodiment, a handle with a grip and a terminal end is provided with an attachment structure on the terminal end. Floor plates are then either modified by cutting anchoring holes to allow for the attachment of such handles without hindering use in an ammunition magazine or molded with said anchoring holes.
