  • Patent number: 8582446
    Abstract: A method and system for responding to changes in the system. The system includes two or more routers which are electrically connected together in a network tree structure. Each router includes an electronic connection port and a routing table. A direct current balance exists at the electronic connection port of each route. A change in the direct current balance at the electronic connection port of at least one router of the two or more routers is detected. An occurrence of changes in the system that relate to each router of the at least one router is ascertained from the detecting. Responsive to the ascertaining, a new routing table is generated for each router of the at least one router. Each new table includes the changes in the system that relate to each route of the at least one router.

  • Patent number: 8078976
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for a first pull down menu associated with a user interface. In response to receiving a request from the user to toggle the user interface between a user interface containing an original pull down menu and a user interface containing a modified pull down menu, the user interface is presented with the first pull down menu wherein the first pull down menu is the modified pull down menu. A user request associated with a feature presented in the first pull down menu is monitored. Values associated with requests received from a user are stored in a set of usage information. The first pull down menu is modified using the set of usage information to form a second pull down menu. The user interface containing the second pull down menu is presented to the user.
