US Patent:

20040019626, Jan 29, 2004

Filed:

Jul 26, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/205993

Inventors:

David Shepherd - Durham NC, US
Mark Sibert - Durham NC, US
David Soroka - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/202000, 709/207000

Abstract:

A method of activating external application logic from a script embedded in client-side rendered markup. The method can include establishing a communicative link with an application interface to the script. A pre-configured message can be received from the application interface over the communicative link. In response to receiving the pre-configured message, at least one operation can be activated in a process address space which is separate from a process address space used to render the markup and to process the script. Importantly, in a preferred aspect of the present invention, data can be retrieved from a data source remote to the client computing device. Subsequently, the retrieved data can be used to populate at least one user interface field in separately rendered markup.

International Classification:

B64C 27605

US Classification:

416114

Abstract:

An anti-drive device for restraining against rotation the stationary ring of a rotor control system of a rotary wing aircraft includes a drive tube driveably connected to an engine through a transmission, a rotating ring driveably connected to the drive tube and supported on the stationary ring, pitch links connecting the rotating ring to pitch arms of a rotor that supports rotor blades for rotation and for pivoting motion, and a four bar linkage connecting the stationary ring to the transmission casing. The linkage defines a nearly linear path along which its attachment to the stationary ring travels as the rotor and control system are axially displaced along the rotor shaft and angularly tilted in accordance with the selective actuation of control servos attached to the stationary ring.

Abstract:

Technologies for interruptibility analysis and notification are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a method may comprise generating a live data stream including activity data received from one or more sensors associated with a worker, repeatedly generating an interruptibility status of the worker as a function of the activity data in the live data stream over a recent time period, and transmitting a signal that causes one of a plurality of status indicators to be displayed, the displayed status indicator corresponding to the current interruptibility status of the worker.
