Abstract:
A method and system for managing projects on a network platform that enables a buyer to make a buy request for a project on a network platform. The buy request includes various requirements of the project. In response to the buy request, various sellers provide submissions for the project on the network platform. The submissions may be utilized by the buyer of the project. Various sellers can provide the submissions that comply with one or more requirements of the project. The buyer utilizes the submissions to execute the project, based on their compliance with the requirements of the project, and provides compensation to the sellers.
Abstract:
A method to execute verb-noun cmdlets to retrieve mailbox information or receive connector information from an e-mail server includes opening an e-mail management tool and receiving and parsing at least one cmdlet having a verb-noun syntax. A get-mailbox cmdlet retrieves mailbox information from an e-mail server and a get-receiveconnector cmdlet retrieves receive connector information from the e-mail server. Both cmdlets may have parameters that allow the retrieval of all, one or many mailboxes or receive connectors associated with the e-mail server. One implementation of the e-mail management tool is in a WINDOWS™ computing environment where the management host executes in a POWERSHELL™ scripting environment.
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.
