  • Distributed object instantiation of native objects in java
    Patent number: 6553428
    Abstract: A triology of methods to send, receive and execute are provided for JAVA process objects on client and server so that instance variables, rather than objects, can be transferred from/to client and server. In that manner, process objects at the server can be instantiated with instance variables from the client without object transfer. The system enables use of non-JAVA process objects at the server to perform functions at the request of a JAVA client.

  • Virtual socket for JAVA interprocess communication
    Patent number: 6401109
    Abstract: A virtual socket replaces the usual JAVA physical socket for interprocess communication between two JAVA processes resident on a single system. The virtual socket is created by loading and making use of the standard-in, standard out process associated with the underlying platform so that data, rather than objects, can be passed from one Java process to another.

  • Bidirection data switch sequencing circuit
    Patent number: 4419592
    Abstract: Circuit for sequencing asynchronously the direction-indicating signal and the gating signal to bidirectional switch so that the direction-indicating signal is maintained before, during, and after the gating signal. Provision is also made for producing two gating signals in response to a change in the direction of transmission through the bidirectional switch if the direction-indicating signal changes during the gating signal.
