Abstract: In some example embodiments, a method includes storing a user attribute, a resource attribute of a resource of a web service, one or more scope conditions for applying one of attributes in generating a decision of whether to permit an action, and a script comprising an access control policy comprising one or more policy conditions to be satisfied in order to permit an action. A web service request may be received for accessing the resource. The scope condition(s) may be determined to be satisfied, and a decision to permit or deny the web service request may be generated based on the access control policy, with use of the stored attribute in generating the decision being based on the determination that the scope condition(s) are satisfied. Generating the decision may comprise interpreting the script. The decision may be transmitted to the web service.

Abstract: A credentials database that includes a first credentials locker with a first path defining the location of the first locker, and a second credentials locker. An application program is executed and the application program is a computer program that has direct interaction with a user. A first service program and a second service program are executed, and the first service program and the second service program do not have direct interaction with the user. The first service program is called by the application program, and the second service program is called by the first service program. The first service program uses security credentials to request and obtain data from the second service program, and the second service program. The first service program always has access to and is able to obtain the current credentials.

Abstract: A method, algorithm, architecture, circuit and/or system that compensates for frequency difference in oversampled CDRs. The oversampled CDR uses a programmable divider whose division ratio is changed, for one or more cycles, from its usual division ratio, when accumulated phase movement in either direction exceeds a threshold. Accordingly, the elasticity buffer in oversampled CDRs can be made much smaller or entirely eliminated, resulting in less area, and reduced or eliminated dependence of max allowed burst size on ppm difference. The threshold can be kept programmable, and more than half unit interval, to provide robustness towards high frequency jitter.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing multiple configurable lanes for clock and data transfer in source synchronous systems that may utilize a clock signal from another source for interpreting data received from the source. In an embodiment, a system may include a transmitter configured to transmit at least one clock signal and at least one data signal to a receiver device. The receiver device may have at least one clock lane and at least one data lane for receiving signals from the transmitter device. The clock lane(s) and data lane(s) can be arranged in any order as per requirement of system design. In the receiver, after manufacture, each data lane may be configured to be clocked by any clock lane.

Abstract: A system and method for application scoping that can be added to the application model for an application server, making it less global-centric and more application-centric. The JNDI tree is configured to allow for an application-private JNDI section. This private JNDI section then acts as a private data repository for the application. Resources that are needed by the application can be stored in the application-specific JNDI tree, and thus “scoped” to that particular application. As applications are added to the system, they can be specified in this way. The overall result is fewer changes at the system-wide or global level. The application scoping features provided by the invention include: Use of application scoped JNDI tree; Application Scoped JDBC DataSources; and Application Scoped Security. Application scoped resources provide two primary advantages—Security, in that resources owned by one application can't be used by another; and Simplified packaging and configuration.

Abstract: An improved latch-type sense amplifier circuit having two cross-coupled inverters forming a latch, a supply coupling device for selectively connecting the latch to a supply source, and a bit line coupling circuits for selectively connecting the inputs of each inverter to the complimentary bit line from the memory array. The circuit is configured to sense a voltage difference between the bit lines with improved reliability by providing a delayed sense amplifier enable signal to pass transistors for delaying disconnection of the bit lines from the sense amplifier until the latching action is completed, and adding two transistors in series with the existing transistors of the conventional latch for correcting the offset between the threshold voltages of the inverters of the latch.
