Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention comprise a system and method of providing a graphic user interface (GUI) for scripts. The system comprises one or more scripts, a script GUI module and an interface unit. The script GUI module establishes and maintains communication channels between an executing script and the interface unit. The script GUI module receives information from the executing script and determines if the information comprises an input type command. If the information comprises an input type command, the script GUI module generates an appropriate input mechanism as a function of said input type command.
Abstract:
A digital radio frequency (RF) modulator provides modulation for base-band TV signals. The RF modulator provides direct conversion of digital base-band audio and video signals to a desired RF channel frequency, without any analog up conversion. The RF modulator includes an audio module, a video module, and a RF converter. The audio module includes a pre-emphasis filter, a multi-stage audio interpolator and a complex frequency modulator to generate frequency modulated (FM) audio signals. The video module includes a complex VSB filter, a group-delay compensation filter and some processing logic to generate a filtered output video signal. The RF converter includes a complex adder, a complex multiplier and a RF interpolator to construct the base band TV signals and to shift the base band TV signals in a frequency domain to the desired RF channel frequency. The exponential video carrier is generated at baseband and has a frequency whose value is in the range of +/− 13.5 MHz. The RF interpolator includes a zero pad logic followed by a quadrature band pass filter (BPF), and an optional second stage of another zero-pad logic followed by a real band pass filter (BPF). The second stage is optional in the sense that it is required only if the desired RF channel is in the higher VHF band.
Abstract:
Fluoride-containing hydraulic cements, raw mixtures for producing fluoride-containing hydraulic cements and methods of producing the same are provided. The raw mixture comprises a fluoride source, a calcium oxide source and a silicon oxide. The fluoride source may be a fluoride-containing industrial waste, such as spent pot lining, corresponding to a fluoride content of between 0.1 wt % and 15 wt % within the raw mixture. The ratio of producible calcium oxide to silicon oxide within the raw mixture may be at least about 2:1 and the ratio of producible calcium oxide to the sum of silicon oxide and aluminum oxide within the raw mixture may be at least about 1.5:1.
Abstract:
A method using cmdlets in association with a graphical user interface for an application, a command line interface, and a web-based interface for the application includes generating a command which invokes at least one cmdlet. Each cmdlets containing the business logic for the application. The same cmdlets may be invoked from either the GUI, the command line, or the web-based interface. The result is that the task performed by the cmdlet is the same for each interface where each interface is absent business logic.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for reducing unsolicited electronic messages by using immutable email identities in place of traditional email addresses. Over any of various protocols, an address generation server receives an electronic message requesting a disposable address for an intended recipient having an immutable email identity. The request also includes a return address for the sender, which discourages unsolicited messages because most senders of unsolicited messages prefer to remain anonymous. After receiving the request, the address generation server creates the disposable electronic message address, which may be limited in use. A challenge must be completed before the address may be discovered or used. This challenge further discourages unsolicited electronic messages because it imposes a burden that many senders of unsolicited messages are unwilling to bear.

Abstract:
A method and system for determining a plurality of coefficients of an objective function of a mathematical programming model. Attributes of the model are identified. A first set of coefficient values determining a first solution and initially representing the plurality of coefficients is determined by employing a specified ranking of the attributes. A prevailing solution is initialized to the first solution. Additional sets of coefficient values are generated, each set determining a corresponding additional solution of the model. The additional solutions are evaluated (e.g., by the Analytic Hierarchy Process) to provide a ranking of the solutions, where the ranking is dependent upon the attributes. The ranking of the additional solutions is used to select a second solution. The prevailing solution is set to the second solution if the second solution exceeds a sum of the prevailing solution and a specified tolerance.
Abstract:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for securely and efficiently extending data processing pipeline functionality. Data processing agents register, potentially based solely on configuration data contained in the data processing agents, to manipulate data of a data processing pipeline. Configuration data can identify a specified event (e.g., an SMTP verb) the data processing agent is to hook into. Upon detection of a specified event, one or more agents that have registered for the specified event are loaded into secure zones. Process boundaries separate agents from one another and from other processes such that execution of each agent is isolated from other processes. Pipeline related data (e.g., electronic message data) is transferred to each loaded agent. Application Program Interfaces (“APIs”) can be used to transfer data between modules that implement embodiments of the present invention.

Abstract:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for extending and optimizing electronic messaging rules. A messaging module automatically generates intermediate language instructions that represent messaging rules. The intermediate language instructions are decompiled into corresponding source code and modified to extend the functionality of the messaging rules. The modified source code is recompiled into modified intermediate language instructions that are executable by a rule execution module. A criteria evaluator identifies portions of intermediate language rule instructions that can be can be rewritten to facilitate more efficient rule execution. An intermediate language rewriter optimizes the identified portions of intermediate language rule instructions based on rule optimization data. For example, a series of otherwise linearly executed conditional statements can be rewritten as a balanced binary tree or character by character comparison string matching can be rewritten as a single hash comparison.
