Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for the synchronization of data elements between structured documents that utilize these data elements in the management of information technology systems and data repositories from which the data elements can be obtained. Synchronization is facilitated by the use of an active data model containing model elements associated with the data elements and containing sufficient information for the synchronization. These active data models can be created specifically for a given structured document, created by modifying a generic active data model or created as a composite of existing active data models. Synchronization updates are obtained from a central trusted data source or, using a coordination adaptor, from alternative data sources having the desired level of trust. The active data models can be decomposed into adaptive business objects that are used in the management of the information technology system.

Abstract: A system, method and program product for providing a policy hierarchy usable in an enterprise system having at least one computer cluster. A request is sent to a jurisdictional authority for requesting that a resource be added to the computer cluster of the enterprise system. Following predetermined rules, the jurisdictional authority determines if the addition of said requested resource to said computer cluster is to be allowed. If the addition is determined to be allowed by the jurisdictional authority, the requested resource is added to the computer cluster by a computer cluster manager.

Abstract: A utility computer program to make the web accessible to users who cannot use a mouse filters a web page and adds code to trigger all URLs in the page with a 2-character key code, display the code on the screen, add and display key codes to images that are links, and cause all URLs to call the program when exercised, so that the next web page accessed is also filtered.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for ultrasonic inspection of a conduit are provided. The method involves directing a first ultrasonic pulse at a particular area of the conduit at a first angle, receiving the reflected sound from the first ultrasonic pulse, substantially simultaneously or subsequently in very close time proximity directing a second ultrasonic pulse at said area of the conduit from a substantially different angle than said first angle, receiving the reflected sound from the second ultrasonic pulse, and comparing the received sounds to determine if there is a defect in that area of the conduit. The apparatus of the invention is suitable for carrying out the above-described method. The method and apparatus of the present invention provide the ability to distinguish between sounds reflected by defects in a conduit and sounds reflected by harmless deposits associated with the conduit.
