Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to portlet content refreshing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for independently refreshing portlet content in a portal view. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for refreshing portlet content in a portal view can include a portal server configured to render a portal page, a portlet aggregator configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in different refresh controllers having independently refreshable portions, and a refresh servlet coupled to the portlet aggregator that includes programming to configure the portal page with the different refresh controllers.
Abstract:
A method for creating a multi-dimensional audio map is provided. The method includes assigning a first audio attribute to a multi-dimensional space comprising at least three dimensions. The method also includes creating, by a computer processor responsive to user input, a first audio attribute layer within the multi-dimensional space, including a first dimension representing an audio attribute value of the first audio attribute for a location defined by at least two other dimensions. A method for generating a mixed output using the multi-dimensional audio map is also provided.
Abstract:
Providing traffic flow control services includes receiving requests at an arbiter of a traffic control subsystem. The traffic control subsystem is in a first state, and the requests are received from vehicle transmitters in proximity of the traffic control subsystem. Traffic flow control services also include applying a pre-defined condition to the requests and implementing a traffic flow control activity responsive to application of the pre-defined condition. The traffic flow control activity includes maintaining the first state or changing the first state of the traffic control subsystem to a second state.
Abstract:
A system and method for self-optimizing traffic flow using shared vehicle information that utilizes multiple controllers in dynamic communication to optimize the flow of traffic. The system and method utilizes one or more traffic synchronization controllers (TSCs) (receivers) that receive information from one or more vehicle based transmitters called vehicle information agents (VIAs) and/or a network of traffic control devices (TCDs) associated with the traffic synchronization controllers to determine a variety of information related to traffic within a geographic region, including volume, speed, destination, intended route of the vehicle, as well as other vehicle related information, in order to determine the optimal flow of traffic within the region. The system and method then transmits traffic control signals to the various traffic control devices within the region or adjacent regions in order to optimally control the flow of traffic. The system and method may also share information amongst traffic synchronization controllers within the network in order to optimize the flow of traffic over a larger region.
Abstract:
An approach for managing file storage between local and remote storage locations in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In a typical embodiment, files/data may be tagged with metadata that associates the files/data with an event that indicates a date/time and a geographical destination of an intended use of the files. The files may then be transferred between local and remote storage (e.g., at the destination) based upon a set of predefined rules for transferring the files/data.
Abstract:
Techniques for running content emitters natively on a local operating system, by executing a local executive as a native application on the target operating system. In some embodiments, a content emitter such as a portlet preferably invokes, by its normal inclusion mechanism, a markup emitter directed toward the native user interface environment. The markup streams created by locally-executing portlets are collected by the local executive, but instead of being combined into a browser-based markup stream as in the prior art, one or more windows represented by the markup streams is/are created for rendering with the native operating system. An association is maintained between the created window and the portlet(s) emitting content for that window, and controls can be created and valued for the window using this association. In other embodiments, the content emitters execute remotely and deliver content that is adapted for native rendering.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention provides a method for sharing digital images on an image-sharing application, wherein a digital image is received from a user, the digital image including a first access setting defined by the user. A user-defined select region is identified on the digital image with a processor, wherein the select region includes a second access setting. Access to the digital image is permitted with an access controller based on the first access setting; and, access to the select region is permitted with the access controller based on the second access setting. In at least one embodiment, the digital image is displayed only to a first group of individuals based on the first access setting; and, the select region is displayed only to a second group of individuals based on the second access setting.

Abstract:
A method of removing stored media content from a media player (MP) is disclosed. The method includes allowing a first set of media content to be downloaded to the MP for playing, and identifying a second set of media content from all media content stored on the MP. In response to the identifying the second set of media content, automatically copying the second set of media content from the MP to a processing unit in signal connection with the MP for archival storage, and, automatically removing the second set of media content from the MP. The identifying the second set of media content occurs in response to at least one of: the current time matching a date and time combination specified by a user to remove the media content; and, playing the first set of media content.
Abstract:
A method for validating input received from an XML based form using reusable XPath validation expressions. The method can include a step of identifying a reusable XPath validation expression including at least one substitution marker. The substitution marker can be mapped to one or more values specific to an XML instance. At least one field to be validated with the reusable XPath validation expression can be designated utilizing the development tool. The development tool can automatically replace the substitution marker with the appropriate value specific to an XML instance.
