International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Data Transformations for Applications Supporting Different Data Formats
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 26 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,275,779) developed by four co-inventors for "data transformations for applications supporting different data formats." The co-inventors are Thomas J. Eggebraaten, Rochester, Minn., Jeffrey W. Tenner, Rochester, Minn., Shannon E. Wenzel, Colby, Wis., and Eric W. Will, Oronoco, Minn.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Embodiments of the invention allow structured data to be transferred between a source application and a target application that process structured data in different formats. For example, structured data may have a set of associated rules which transform the structured data based on a set of variables. The source application may register variable definitions for each of the variables in a registry. The target application may read the registry and register values for each of the rule variables. Once values are registered for the variables, the source application may transfer the structured data to a transformation engine that applies the rules, using the registered values for the variables, to transform the structured data into a format compatible with the target application. In doing so, the transformation engine can generate a document in any format compatible with the target application and subsequently transfer the generated document to the target application."
The patent application was filed on Jan. 22, 2009 (12/357,814). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=82,75,779.PN.&OS=PN/82,75,779&RS=PN/82,75,779

International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Area Efficient Transcendental Estimate Algorithm
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 26 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,275,821) developed by Eric Oliver Mejdrich, Rochester, Minn., Adam James Muff, Rochester, Minn., and Matthew Ray Tubbs, Rochester, Minn., for an "area efficient transcendental estimate algorithm."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method, computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for generating a transcendental value. The method includes receiving an input containing an input value and an opcode and determining whether the opcode corresponds to a trigonometric operation or a power-of-two operation. The method also includes calculating a fractional value and an integer value from the input value, generating the transcendental value based on the fractional value by adding at least a portion of the fractional value with at least one of a shifted fractional value produced by shifting the portion of the fractional value and a constant value, and providing the transcendental value in response to the request. In this fashion, the same circuit area may be used to carry out both trigonometric and power-of-two calculations, leading to greater circuit area savings and performance advantages while not sacrificing significant accuracy."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 7, 2007 (11/851,658). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,275,821&OS=8,275,821&RS=8,275,821

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 26 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,275,761) developed by Paul R. Day, Rochester, Minn., Randy L. Egan, Rochester, Minn., and Roger A. Mittelstadt, Byron, Minn., for a "determining a density of a key value referenced in a database query over a range of rows."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method, apparatus and program product that determine a density of a key value referenced in a database query over at least one range of rows, and utilize the determined density to optimize the database query. By doing so, the density of various key values may be determined and compared, and a bit map may be generated over the range of rows of the key value that is denser, resulting in a reduction of resources to build and use the bit map. Moreover, from the bit map over the range of rows to be selected after using the determined density, dense regions may be identified that can be used to optimize block I/O's according to the number of rows to be selected based on the query."
The patent application was filed on May 15, 2008 (12/120,706). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=82,75,761.PN.&OS=PN/82,75,761&RS=PN/82,75,761

International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Data Storage Systems
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 26 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,276,038) developed by seven co-inventors for a data storage systems. The co-inventors are Roy D. Cideciyan, Rueschlikon, Switzerland, Ajay Dholakia, Gattikon, Switzerland, Evangelos S. Eleftheriou, Zurich, Switzerland, Richard L. Galbraith, Rochester, Minn., Weldon M. Hanson, Rochester, Minn., Thomas Mittelholzer, Zurich, Switzerland, and Travis R. Oenning, Rochester, Minn.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A data storage system includes an encoder subsystem comprising an error correction code encoder, a modulation encoder, and a precoder, and a decoder subsystem similarly comprising a detector, an inverse precoder, a channel decoder, and an error correction code decoder. The error correction encoder applies an error correction code to the incoming user bit stream, and the modulation encoder applies so-called modulation or constrained coding to the error correction coded bit stream. The precoder applies so-called preceding to the modulation encoded bit stream. However, this preceding is applied to selected portions of the bit stream only. There can also be a permutation step where the bit sequence is permuted after the modulation encoder before preceding is applied by the precoder. The decoder subsystem operates in the inverse manner."
The patent application was filed on Aug. 3, 2007 (11/833,274). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,276,038.PN.&OS=PN/8,276,038&RS=PN/8,276,038
