Patent number: 8219516Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for interactive searching with executable suggestions provides a search engine and data management technology that determine what a user is looking for, analyze the data in a database, and present immediately useful suggestions for finding the right information. Executable suggestions are presented that enable a user to further narrow or broaden a search intelligently and adaptively in real-time. Each executable suggestion describes a search and corresponding search criteria and provides information on the actual search results a user will obtain according to this search criteria. In one embodiment of the present invention, a system has a suggestion engine and one or more suggestion spaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Archeron Limited LLCInventors: Michael G. Foulger, Matthew J. Gaul

Patent number: 8156499Abstract: A distributed computing system includes at least first and second distinct computers each having a different operating system. First processes are compatible with the first operating system and second processes are compatible with the second operating system. A third scheduling computer, coupled to the first and second computer via a communication network, includes a scheduler for scheduling the first processes and the second processes to execute respectively on the first and second computers. The scheduler accesses a master schedule that defines an executing sequence of the first processes and the second processes. The master schedule can define conditional inter-relationships between the first processes and the second processes.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: ICP Acquisition CorporationInventors: Michael G. Foulger, Thomas R. Chipperfield, Jeremy S. Cooper

Patent number: 7693950Abstract: A method and system for generating and tracking an email campaign is described. An email campaign generator generates an email campaign template from an email target database. The email target database comprises at least one email target. An email campaign engine generates a custom email corresponding to each of the at least one email target. The custom email is formed from the email campaign template. The email campaign engine sends to each of the at least one email target the corresponding custom email. A campaign tracker receives at least one response corresponding to the sent custom email. The campaign tracker creates a campaign tracking list that includes the received at least one response.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Inventors: Michael G. Foulger, Thomas R. Chipperfield, Jeremy S. Cooper, Andrew C. Storms
