  • Patent number: 9398159
    Abstract: Responsive to detecting a call from a first user into a call system, a user identifier associated with the first user to can be added to respective user information stored in an e-meeting data structure associated with the call. A determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes the user identifier associated with the first user and, responsive to determining the call system does not recognize the user identifier associated with the first user, a determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes a voice of the first user. If the call system does not recognize the voice of the first user, a location of the first user can be identified by processing the user identifier. The location of the first user can be added to respective user information stored in the e-meeting data structure. An e-meeting can be generated for the call.

  • Patent number: 9245131
    Abstract: A method, data storage device and computer program product for having multiple users share a single data storage device securely. A data storage device, such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) key, is plugged into a computing device. A USB controller of the USB key recognizes the computing device and creates an account for the user. The created account is associated with the user as well as associated with the computing device. Data uploaded to the USB key by the user is then associated with the created account. Only that user will be able to view that data on his/her computing device (computing device associated with the created account) unless the user indicates to share that data with other users. Such a process may be repeated each time the USB key is plugged into a different computing device thereby creating multiple accounts associated with multiple computing devices and users.

  • Publication number: 20150378690
    Abstract: An application instance staging method comprises installing a runtime environment for an application program pushed to a cloud client; installing dependency of the application program; reading an environment variable of the application program to identify a functional service bound to the application program; modifying the application program based on the functional service bound to the application program; and packaging the modified application program, runtime environment, and dependency into an executable droplet.

  • Publication number: 20150378689
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an application instance staging method and apparatus. The method comprising: obtaining a list of functional services bound to an application program; determining a buildpack corresponding to the bound functional service; and performing, by the determined buildpack, application instance staging of the application program. With the technical solution according to embodiments of the invention, an application program can be automatically extended during application instance staging, such that it can interact with the bound service.

  • Patent number: 9074326
    Abstract: A rail clip to be used to fasten rail seals or flangeway fillers to a rail. The rail clip includes a generally U-shaped hinged clip with one or more hinges formed by two curved arms of the same or different curvatures and an elongated back. The elongated back is designed to fit between the foot of the rail and the ballast. One or more of the arms may be rotatable such that it is perpendicular to the elongated arm and the other arm, allowing the clip to be put in place. Once the clip is in place, the arm is rotated to the desired position and locked into place, holding each rail seal against the rail.

  • Patent number: 8966645
    Abstract: Text entry context information associated with text entry within an inter-user communication application is evaluated. A determination is made as to whether the evaluated text entry context information identifies a text string entered by a user as a potential password inadvertently entered into the inter-user communication application by the user. In response to determining that the text string is identified as the potential password, the user is prompted to confirm that the user intends to send the text string using the inter-user communication application. The text string is transmitted using the inter-user communication application in response to a confirmation from the user to send the text string.
