10/802573

Inventors:

Peter M. Rodriguez - Arcadia CA, US

International Classification:

B60N 202

US Classification:

297377

Abstract:

A lounge chair having a seat portion, an adjustable back portion rotatable about a transverse axis through roughly a 9 angle from upright to flat, and an adjustable support associated with said back portion.

Appl. No.:

11/181120

Inventors:

Peter P. Rodriguez - Pleasanton CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 9/455
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

718104, 718 1, 718105, 709224, 709226

Abstract:

Disclosed are a method of and system for profiling a computer program. The method comprises the steps of using a utility application to execute the computer program; and on the basis of said execution of the computer program, identifying specific performance requirements of the computer program. A profile of the computer program is determined from said identified performance requirements; and based on said determined profile, resources for the computer program are selected from a grid of computer services.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 9/44

US Classification:

719328000, 709201000

Abstract:

Disclosed are a method of and system for adapting a computer program to make use of a grid based system of resources, said grid based system using a given set of grid protocols. The method comprises the steps of providing a profile of the computer program; and providing a grid adapter including a series of application program interfaces (APIs) for interfacing said computer program to the grid based system using said one or more of said grid protocols. The profile is used to select one or more of the APIs to interface said computer program with one or more of the resources of the grid based system.

Appl. No.:

13/187815

Inventors:

Peter P. Rodriguez - Pleasanton CA, US

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

726 6

Abstract:

A virtual computer service includes receiving, at a network server computer over a network, an encrypted image and user credentials for a user of a computer, and storing the encrypted image and the user credentials in an image repository that is communicatively coupled to the network server computer. The virtual computer service also includes receiving a request to initiate a session, the request including the user credentials. Upon successful validation of the user credentials, the virtual computer service includes selecting the encrypted image from the image repository, decrypting the encrypted image, activating a session for a virtual computer associated with the computer, and synchronizing session details of the session, once completed, with the image and storing a synchronized image in the image repository.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 9/32

Abstract:

In general, embodiments of the present invention relate to password management. Specifically, a user selects a variable parameter rule from among a set of variable parameter rules. The variable parameter rule includes a set of variable parameter values. The user defines two or more static passwords and maps each static password to a variable parameter value. To access a protected source, the user must enter a valid password that matches one of the static passwords based on a current variable parameter value associated with the variable parameter rule.
