  • Patent number: 9244651
    Abstract: A method for managing document revisions. The method includes receiving a request to access a parent file stored on a server, where the parent file is associated with one or more child files; determining whether a first option is enabled that is associated with selecting a latest version or revision of a child file, where a revision includes one or more versions; determining whether a second option is enabled, where the second option is associated with selecting a released version or revision of a child file; and, for each child file, providing access to a version or revision of the child file based on whether the first option is enabled and whether the second option is enabled.

  • Patent number: 8756941
    Abstract: A cryogenic apparatus is provided having a nested thermally insulating structure, thermal links, a vacuum shroud, and a cryo-cooler. The nested thermally insulated structure holds a sample to be cooled while dampening the external vibrations caused by the cryo-cooler, the surrounding environment or cryo-cooler mounting surface. The thermal link is made of thermally conductive wires which connect the nested thermally insulated structure and the cryo-cooler thereby allowing the apparatus to reduce vibrations inherent in the operation of the cryo-cooler.

  • Patent number: 7908665
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for “cloaked” data objects in an electronic content management system. A “cloaked” data object is one that is inaccessible and unreadable by a user, but one which the user is permitted to know exists. The cloaked object may allow the user to know the scope of use of an object, without revealing the substantive content of the data object. A client application may process the cloaked object in a manner that is no different than manner in which the client processes an uncloaked version of the same data object.

  • Patent number: 7797339
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for providing security architecture for content management systems. An audit log table separates security concerns in framework code from application concerns in application code. Application developers place database access code in stored procedures. Each stored procedure records a unique identifier for each object involved in the database access code into an audit log, for later security checking by framework code. After executing the stored procedure, the framework code determines whether the stored procedure was authorized by checking the audit log and access control lists stored in the database. If not, an access violation error may be returned and the database may be rolled back.

  • Patent number: 6661496
    Abstract: In a method for aiding a user to customize a motion film selection, a film clip including a video track and a sound track comprising one or more actor voice tracks and a background track is selected, the sound track is modified to remove a selected actor voice track, the film clip with the modified sound track is displayed to the user, text representative of the selected actor voice track is displayed in synchrony with selected actor voice track while displaying the film clip to the user, a new voice track generated by the user is recorded for synchronized playback with the selected actor, and a new sound track including the modified sound track and the new voice track is saved.

  • Patent number: 4642257
    Abstract: A decorative magnetic occluding device for decoratively and uniformly occluding opposing surface portions of a non-magnetic panel which includes a matched pair of sheet magnets, each being the mirror image configuration of the other. Each magnet has a decorative surface, which is a mirror image configuration of the decorative surface of the other magnet, and an opposite magnetized surface. The magnetized surfaces have alternating North and South stripes of polarity, with the stripes of polarity of one of the magnetized surfaces being offset by one stripe from the corresponding stripes of polarity of the other of the magnetized surfaces. Each magnet has visual orientation means to ensure that the corresponding stripes of polarity of each magnet will be opposite in polarity when the magnets are mated.
