Abstract: A memory compiler to generate a set of memories is based on a subtraction approach from a set of templates (memory templates), including at least one layout database and auxiliary design databases, by software. The software can be based on general-purpose programming language or a layout-specific language. The compiled memories can be generated by reducing the memory array sizes in row and/or column directions by moving, deleting, adding, sizing, or stretching the layout objects, and disabling the high order addresses, etc. from the memory template by software. The new auxiliary design databases, such as layout phantom, behavior model, synthesis view, placement-and-routing view or datasheet, can also be generated by modifying some parameters from the memory template by software. One-time programmable memory using junction diode, polysilicon diode, or isolated active-region diode as program selector in a cell can be generated accordingly.

The items in the inventory of the virtualized computer system include virtual machines, servers on which the virtual machines are running, one or more data centers in which the servers reside, and logical containers such as folders for virtual machines, resource pools that each contain one or more virtual machines, and server clusters that each contain one or more servers.

Abstract: Current computing solutions often involve the sharing of data across multiple computer implemented processes. To ensure data integrity throughout the execution environment, an executing process can make a request for data from a Data Provider. In response to the request, the Data Provider can bundle the data and one or more Validation Objects in a Data Object. The Data Object can be passed between executing processes, and at any point in the execution, an executing process can verify the integrity of the data by making a request to the Data Object. To facilitate the passing of Data Objects throughout a heterogeneous execution environment, a Data Object can create a representation of itself specific to the target system. The Data Objects are advantageous in that all of the necessary validation checks are centralized, thus decreasing maintenance costs and the possibility of error.

Abstract: A medical records system allows a patient to have control and responsibility over their medical records. The system includes a patient-centric records server that functions as a central repository for patients' medical records. The patient can access and review their medical records. Further, to control access to some or all of the medical records, the patient also can hide one or more files within their medical records. As such, if a doctor accesses the medical records, the doctor only sees what the patient leaves unhidden. Thus, the system provides a means for the patient to control sensitive information within their medical records.

Abstract: An information management apparatus includes: a data receiving section, a collected data storage section, an aggregating section, a feature extracting section, a determining section, and an evaluation data storage section. The data receiving section periodically receives action data showing an action of a user. The collected data storage section stores the action data received by the data receiving section every user. The aggregating section generates a data set every user by aggregating action data containing an approximate content, of the action data stored in the collected data storage section. The feature extracting section extracts an index and a reference showing privacy confidentiality of the data set as a feature to incorporate in the data set. The determining section determines whether or not the privacy confidentiality of the feature of the data set is equal to or higher than a predetermined level. The evaluation data storage section stores the data set which passed the determining section.

Abstract: Techniques for compiled indexing and paginated reporting are described. Event messages, having sequential identifiers, are received and stored in a working table. The working table is renamed as a rollover table upon receiving a threshold number of the event messages and a new working table is created.

When a query to the event messages is received, a response to the query is generated based on the contents of the summary table and management table. The response may also include a predetermined quantity of event messages based on a dimension of a window of a graphical user interface of a client computer which issued the query.

Abstract: A software system automatically and dynamically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon, and connected directly to, an underlying data model (as instantiated within a relational database management system (RDBMS)). The UI derives from an automated interrogation of the RDBMS, and comprises all mode displays (e.g., browse, search, edit, add) for all tables, and a full complement of mechanisms—integrated directly into the mode displays—for representing, navigating, and managing relationships across tables, regardless of the complexity of the underlying RDBMS schema. It utilizes a hierarchical “context stack” for suspending the working state of a particular table while “drilling down” to work with related-table information and return relevant changes to the base table.

Abstract: Techniques for history enabling a table in a database system so that past versions of rows of the history-enabled table are available for temporal querying. The table is history enabled by adding a start time column to the table and creating a history table for the history-enabled table. The start time field's value in a row of the history-enabled table indicates when the contents of the row last changed. The rows of the history table are copies of rows of the history-enabled table that have been deleted or updated. The rows include end time fields whose values indicate when the row was updated or deleted. A history table's row thus indicates a period in which the history table's row was in the history-enabled table. Temporal queries are performed on a view which is the union of the history-enabled table and the history table.

Abstract: In the described systems and methods for information lifecycle cross-system reconciliation, a number of reconciliation indicators for a certain type of data are defined. A first set of values of the reconciliation indicators are calculated at a first computer system based on data stored in a memory of the first computer system. A second set of values of the reconciliation indicators are calculated at a second computer system based on data transferred from the first computer system. The two sets of values are received at reconciliation cockpit and stored in a reconciliation data structure. Further, the reconciliation data structure is examined to identify inconsistency between the data stored in the memory of the first computer system and the data transferred to the second computer system. If such an inconsistency is identified, the data transfer is cancelled. If inconsistency is not identified, the data transfer is confirmed.
