US Classification:

345173, 345 11, 345 12, 345 13, 345 22

Abstract:

A dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system includes a first display having a first touch screen, a second display having a second touch screen, the second display being operatively connected to the first display, at least one sensor operatively associated with one of the first and second displays. The at least one sensor detects a physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens. The dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system further includes a controller linked to the at least one sensor. The controller sets a display of the other of the first and second touch screens based on the physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 711, 705 742

Abstract:

A method, system and program product for providing distribution of customer feedback pertaining to an aspect of a retail environment. The method includes creating either a text, an audio or visual tag for inputting into a tool, feedback from customers using a plurality of devices, the tag including either a product-related or a location-related tag that can be used to extrapolate on the feedback. The method further includes identifying respective locations of customers, collecting in real-time the feedback inputted by the customers and providing a user, a customer that has provided feedback or not, access to the feedback collected based on either an inquiry submitted to the tool by the user or based on a current location of the user identified by the tool. The method further includes retrieving in real-time a subset of the feedback collected based on either the inquiry submitted or the current location of the user.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717120, 717124, 717131

Abstract:

A computer readable medium is provided and has instructions stored thereon, which, when executed cause a processor of a computing system to execute a method of controlling the computing system. The method includes iteratively running a workload over a period of time, the workload being defined by software components of a software repository of the computing system, measuring power consumption associated with the running of the workload with each iteration and storing data indicative of the power consumption, analyzing the data and identifying, from a result of the analysis, power consumption changes over the period of time, generating a regression profile based on the power consumption changes, and managing the software components in accordance with the regression profile.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00
H04L 9/32
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

726 1, 726 5

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include methods for providing policy-driven, adaptive, multi-factor authentication procedures. A pool of potential authentication challenges is defined. Each of the potential authentication challenges is assigned a category and a weighted difficulty level. One or more authentication challenges are selected from the pool of potential authentication challenges using one or more security policies that are based upon the assigned category and the assigned weighted difficulty level, wherein a quantity of authentication challenges is determined using the one or more security policies. One or more historical access patterns are utilized in conjunction with the selected one or more authentication challenges to authenticate a user, wherein the historical access patterns include at least one of an access time or an access location. One or more dummy challenges are used to authenticate the user.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726 9

Abstract:

Using an authentication server to discover one or more additional authentication servers and to dynamically establish a trust relationship with the one or more additional authentication servers. The authentication server searches for the one or more additional authentication servers to discover one or more sources of authentication tokens, and inspects an incoming authentication request from the one or more additional authentication servers to determine if the request is carrying one or more authentication tokens from a newly discovered realm. Once the authentication server determines a newly discovered realm to be trustworthy, the authentication server receives a directory schema from the newly discovered realm and compares the received directory schema with a known directory schema retrieved by the authentication server to identify an intersection of the received directory schema and the known directory schema. The authentication server uses the intersection to identify a primary key, and to identify any unique information that is specific to either the authentication server or the newly discovered realm.
