Abstract: A communications system and method includes a database for storing problem magnitudes relating to failed attempts at accessing servers using connection engines. An intelligent routing engine could be a server operative with the database, which queries the database and delays any further attempts at accessing the server using the first connection engine if the problem magnitude exceeds a predetermined threshold. Reattempts can be made after a sufficient delay. A plurality of connection engines can be used by a client for accessing a server. The connection engines are preferably distributed among a plurality of subnets and/or IP addresses and a different connection engine can be chosen based on a desired route with minimum problems.

Abstract: A method and system for password recovery in computer applications is disclosed. Passwords in the same computer application may be recovered according to different criteria. Criteria for password recovery vary according to the sensitivity of the password-protected material. Criteria for recovery of a password protecting sensitive information have more stringent criteria than criteria for recovery of passwords protecting less sensitive information. In certain embodiments, passwords may be recovered through the use of third party agents. Recovered passwords are associated with unique identifiers, such as email addresses and phone numbers that facilitate communication with a user. Recovered passwords may be transmitted to users via email, phone, and text message or by any other means associated with the unique identifier. Biometric data may also be used to recover a password.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for selectively sharing information among users of a computer application. Specific utility in healthcare applications is disclosed, but the scope of the invention is not limited to healthcare applications. The method involves selecting specific users, with whom information will be shared, a method for selecting such users' restrictions on the information that can be accessed by such users. Also disclosed is a system and method through which certain users can transmit communications on behalf of other users.

Abstract: Peer-to-peer approaches to servicing subscriptions to information feeds are generally disclosed. Network nodes may exchange information about information feeds that they can provide to other nodes, and other information about information feeds to which they may be interested in subscribing. Any of a variety of techniques may then be applied to allow the nodes to negotiate for feeds to which they may be interested in subscribing. For example, each node may apply algorithms that service feed subscriptions of other nodes on a prioritized basis, prioritized for example based on which other nodes service subscriptions in return.

Abstract: An example multicore environment generally described herein may be adapted to improve use of a shared cache by a plurality of processing cores in a multicore processor. For example, where a producer task associated with a first core of the multicore processor places data in a shared cache at a faster rate than a consumer task associated with a second core of the multicore processor, relative task execution rates can be adapted to prevent eventual increased cache misses by the consumer task.

Abstract: An email communications system for operating over a communications network may include an email server having a server inbox for receiving and storing email via the communications network and having a server email storage folder. The system may further include at least one wireless email communications device having a device inbox, and an email proxy server for communicating with the email server and the at least one wireless email communications device via the communications network. The email proxy server may be for forwarding email from the server inbox to the device inbox, detecting a deletion of a given email from the server inbox, and if the deletion of the given email from the server inbox is not preceded by copying of the given email to the server email storage folder, then causing the wireless email communications device to also delete the given email from the device inbox based thereon.

Abstract: A system and method generates configurations used for accessing electronic mailboxes. A database stores the configuration conventions that are sets of e-mail expressions formed by symbols. A transformer module expands configuration conventions stored in the database to generate configurations based on user supplied context data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for analyzing and displaying quantitative information in a healthcare setting. Specifically, the present disclosure teaches a method of assessing provider performance and patient compliance, both prospectively and retrospectively.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for attributing patients to a physician panel in a healthcare setting. Attribution can occur either implicitly, through the use of claims data or an inference based on clinical encounters, or explicitly by way of manual entry of supplemental data into a system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that generally relate to enabling completion of secure transactions using mobile devices that may or may not have the needed or desired security features. A secure transaction may be partially completed by a secure computing device and partially completed by a less secure mobile device, where the secure computing device may be used to delegate a transaction operation to the less secure mobile device.

Abstract: A communications system may include at least one data storage device for storing messages for respective users, and a plurality of mobile wireless communications devices each associated with a respective user for accessing the messages stored on the at least one data storage device. Moreover, the communications system may further include an adaptive polling engine for polling the at least one data storage device for stored messages and providing the polled messages to mobile wireless communications devices of respective users. The adaptive polling engine may advantageously learn respective user usage patterns for each mobile wireless communications device, and change a respective rate of polling for each mobile wireless communications device based thereon.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring access to an electronic mailbox based on limited configuration parameters received from a user. A database stores configuration conventions for a mail domain. A mailbox interface module receives configuration information from a user that is limited in the configuration parameters required for accessing the electronic mailbox. The module retrieves configuration conventions for the mail domain from the database and generates sets of potentially valid configuration parameters based on the retrieved configuration conventions and user supplied configuration information for accessing the mailbox.
