Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing the spatial coordinates and visual attributes of objects within a user interface (UI). A Web UI ruler is executed within a UI comprising a plurality of objects. A first object and second object are selected. The Web UI Ruler then collects the spatial coordinate and visual attribute values for the first and second object and their relationship values are determined. The spatial coordinate and visual attribute values for the first and second objects, along with their corresponding relationship values, are modified and the modifications are applied to the target objects. The values are then stored in the Web UI ruler. These values can then be subsequently applied to one or more target objects. Alternatively, the stored values are exported as a cascading style sheet (CSS) class, which can then likewise be subsequently applied to one or more target objects.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to video scaling and compression and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for pre-distribution image scaling for screen size. In one embodiment of the invention, a compressed video delivery method can be provided. The method can include determining a display size for a target computing platform, pre-scaling video imagery to comport with the display size of the target computing platform, compressing the pre-scaled video imagery, and transmitting the compressed, pre-scaled video imagery to the target computing platform over a computer communications network.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for managing the sending of electronic mail (email) messages and responding to requests from indirect recipients for related information. An email message is originated with a first recipient and a recipient request prompt, which comprises a unique recipient request identifier (ID) linking it to the originator's email address. An empty recipient request list is generated, likewise linked to the recipient request ID. The message is then sent to a first recipient, who in turn forwards it to a second recipient. The recipient response prompt is displayed to the second recipient, who uses it to generate a recipient request for related information. The recipient request ID of the originated message and the second recipient's email address is appended to the recipient request, which is then sent to the message originator. The recipient request is received by the email system and parsed.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable computer with shared hardware resources that can be used by other computers. The portable computer includes an interface converter, a control module, a power management module, and a power path switch. When the portable computer is powered off and connected with a computer host through a serial bus interface, the shared hardware resources of the portable computer obtain power from the computer host through the serial bus interface. The interface converter converts data between a shared hardware resource interface format and a serial bus interface format, and enables the shared hardware resources to communicate with the computer host and therefore are employed by the computer host. In one embodiment, the shared hardware resources include a keyboard. In another embodiment, the shared hardware resources include a keyboard and a display.

Abstract: Merging a codec with a digital media file, including receiving, by a digital media provider from a playback device through a data communications network, a request for the digital media file, the digital media file comprising digital media content encoded by a codec, identifying, by the digital media provider, the codec by which the digital media content was encoded, inserting, by the digital media provider, the codec into the digital media file, distributing the digital media file with the inserted codec to the playback device through the data communications network. Playing a digital media file on a playback device, including receiving the digital media file in the playback device, extracting the codec from within the digital media file, installing, by the playback device, the codec for operation on the playback device, and decoding, by the playback device through the codec, the digital media content for playback on the playback device.

Abstract: A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for a local blade server security is provided. The design structure includes a system capable of extracting authentication information for a local user from a USB keydrive inserted in the chassis of the blade server; comparing the extracted authentication information with predetermined authentication credentials; and granting access to one or more resources on the blade server if the extracted authentication information matches the predetermined authentication credentials; and denying access to one or more resources on the blade server if the extracted authentication information does not match the predetermined authentication credentials.
