US Patent:

6564322, May 13, 2003

Filed:

Jan 26, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/237226

Inventors:

David H. Jameson - Chappaqua NY
Charles P. Tresser - Mamaroneck NY
Chai W. Wu - Poughquag NY
Steven R. Abrams - New City NY

International Classification:

H04L 900

US Classification:

713176, 713179

Abstract:

A watermark in the form of an added message is attached to a digital recording so that a significant content of the recording is completely unchanged by the process in the sense that any reader commonly used for such recording will extract from the recording exactly what would have been extracted in the case the added message had not been attached. This is done by hiding the added message in the error correcting code (ECC) for the significant content of the recording.

US Patent:

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G10H 700

US Classification:

700 94, 84609, 84645, 84649

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a computer system adapted for composing sound. Sound is composed via a combination of blocks and modifiers, where a block is an abstraction of a collection of data that, when processed by appropriate algorithms and hardware, produces sound. Further, the current invention also comprises one or more modifiers, each of which, when applied to a block, alters the sound produced by that block.

Appl. No.:

09/433872

Inventors:

Steven R. Abrams - New City NY
David H. Jameson - Chappaqua NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1721

US Classification:

7155011, 7155001, 715513, 705 75, 705 21, 707 3, 707 4, 7071041, 717143, 717165

Abstract:

A system is described for collecting and displaying summary information from disparate sources. The system provides for user customization of data acquisition parameters for locating articles to be summarized, user customization of parameters for parsing the located source material so as to extract headlines, and user organization of extracted headlines into groups.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jun 15, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/815623

Inventors:

Steven R. Abrams - New City NY, US
Jean-Michel Lemieux - Ottawa, CA

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717120, 717121, 717122

Abstract:

Software change management (SCM) systems can be extended to uniformly handle artifacts which lack constraints typically imposed on managed items. In the solution, a data type associated with a SCM system can enable management of unmanaged artifacts. Unmanaged artifacts can include, but is not limited to, artifacts which lack can traditional change management constraints, managed artifacts not directly associated with the SCM, artifacts with different constraints than the SCM imposed constraints, and the like. In one embodiment, an unmanaged artifact can have different lifecycles, policies, and the like which can make it unsuitable for traditional management approaches by the SCM. The SCM can utilize the data type to manage unmanaged artifacts without requiring significant change in functionality of the SCM by permitting change management processes to be applied to the unmanaged artifacts.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715255, 715221, 715234

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for manipulating a model, where that model represents some or all of a design. The design includes a multitude of design elements, the model includes a multitude of model elements, and each of the design elements is represented by a single model element. The method comprises the steps of generating a suite of documents from the model, each of the documents describing a view of the model; and displaying the documents to a user as a series of forms. The user provides information to the forms to change the documents, and changes to the documents result in both changes to the model and consistent changes across the suite of documents. In the preferred embodiment, the model identifies specific relationships between the elements of the model, and each of the model elements has defined properties.
