  • Publication number: 20130347115
    Abstract: A system and method for providing enhanced security with regard to obtained files is presented. Upon obtaining a file from an external location, the obtained file is tagged with tagging information regarding the origin of the obtained file. Additionally, an operating system suitable for execution on a computing device is also presented. The operating system includes at least one application-callable function (API) for obtaining content from an external location. Each application-callable function for obtaining content from an external location is configured to associate tagging information with each obtained file, the tagging information comprising the origin of the obtained file. The origin of the obtained file can be used for subsequent security policy decisions, such as whether to allow or block execution or rendering of the content, as well as whether the content will be accessed in a constrained environment such as a “sandbox” or virtual machine.

  • Publication number: 20130160072
    Abstract: Data management techniques are provided for handling information resources. A data management process can account for attributes of information resources by analyzing or interpreting the workspace location, source, channel and device associated with an information resource, and effectuating policies, based on the attributes. Rules govern the attribute determination and policies for access restriction to the information resource. The attributes and policies determined are tagged to the information resource and is dynamically updated based on the attributes related to the information resource within different workspaces, such as a corporate workspace and a personal workspace.

  • Publication number: 20130158565
    Abstract: A medical insertion device which may be used with or installed within an imaging system, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The medical insertion device can generally be used to retain, position and effect insertion of a medical instrument, for example a biopsy device or an ablation treatment device. The device can generally provide linear and/or angular degrees of freedom for positioning of the medical instrument prior to an insertion of the medical instrument. The medical insertion device includes a mounting arm, an interface connected to the mounting arm for interfacing with a medical instrument, a mechanism for movement of the medical instrument or a part of the medical instrument in an insertion direction, a carriage connected to a distal end of the mounting arm, and a pivot connection between the carriage and the distal end of the mounting arm to permit pitch or yaw of the mounting arm.

  • Publication number: 20130159500
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for monitoring contextual and performance information of a device for anticipatorily sending update information to the device. An interface component can receive, from the client, contextual information indicating an operating environment of the client and performance information that is associated with one or more operations being performed by the client based on the operating environment, and send, based on correlation information, update information to the client. Further, a service component can to infer a relationship between the contextual information and the performance information to obtain the correlation information. In other embodiments, a client can populate a cache with portion(s) of the contextual information to obtain cached information, and send at least a portion of the cached information to a system including one or more aspects of the service component.

  • Publication number: 20130145027
    Abstract: Regulatory compliance techniques are provided for dynamically modifying access to data based on the jurisdiction a user seeking access to the data is located within. Dynamically modifying access to data provides for a more efficient and accurate solution to regulatory compliance issues faced when hosting data in a central repository. Users can be notified when their access to data is modified due to a compliance issue. In addition, an audit history can be associated with data packets that allow an administrator or the like to view the history of data packet access. Finally, signatures associated with a data packet can be used to search data store(s) to track access to information within the data packet that may have been subsequently modified.

  • Publication number: 20130117806
    Abstract: The subject disclosure generally relates to provisioning devices via a network service, such as a cloud service. A profile component can authenticate a user of a device with a cloud service, and determine services maintained by the network service that are associated with the user. A reception component can receive a request for a set of services from the device, and a services component can obtain the set of services from the network service, and provision the device based on the set of services. Provisioning the device can include downloading the services to the device, or including the services in a virtual machine executing in the network service.

  • Patent number: 8407102
    Abstract: A method and system used to obtain and process orders for full color printing. A job configuration and price calculator is supplied to a customer. The calculator calculates automatically a price quote as the customer selects configuration options of a print job. The price quote is then displayed automatically. The customer may select configuration options repeatedly until the job configuration is final. A digital graphic layout or image file is then obtained from the customer. The digital graphic layout or image file is then prepared and a proof thereof is created. When the proof is satisfactory, the print job is printed and delivered to the customer.

  • Patent number: 8347085
    Abstract: At computer device power on, the operating system of the computer device initiates a monitor. The monitor assigns a monitoring program to each program and object (collectively, “program”) running on the computer device to monitor the activities of the program. When the monitoring program is assigned to a program, the monitoring program is assigned an integrity and/or privacy label (collectively, “integrity label”) based on predetermined criteria applied to the monitored program. The monitoring program, in turn, assigns an integrity label to the program monitored by the monitoring program. The integrity label assigned to the monitored program is less than or equal to the integrity label of the monitoring program. The monitor enforces an integrity policy of the computer device based on the integrity label assigned to monitored programs and the integrity label associated with data, another program, or a remote network resource that the monitored program is seeking to access.
