International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709200, 709202

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for generating an alternative form of transmitted environmental data, e. g. , scent information, air temperature settings, air humidity settings, triggering of infrared devices such as to create tactile warmth. Upon identifying one or more environmental data files in a received file, e. g. , HTML file, environmental data associated with the data files may be read and interpreted. If there are no environmental devices, e. g. , smell-generating device, configured to emit a response to the environmental data or if the environmental devices are disabled from emitting a response to the environmental data, then the environmental data may be translated into a form a computer may be capable of reproducing. The translated form may then be outputted in a variety of forms such as: pictorial data (e. g. , picture of a pine tree substituting a pine smell), graphical effects (e. g.

International Classification:

G06F 1/28
G06F 12/16

US Classification:

713340

Abstract:

According to exemplary embodiments, a computer program product for providing voltage to a memory device includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method performed includes storing data on the memory device, providing a voltage from a finite energy storage medium to the memory device when power is not provided by an associated computing system and measuring the voltage provided. The method also includes boosting the voltage provided by the finite energy storage medium via a switching voltage regulator responsive to the voltage being below a threshold, wherein the switching voltage regulator is coupled to the finite energy storage medium.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717168

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and computer program product for updating software on an embedded computer device. According to one aspect of the present invention, a concurrent embedded application update is performed in which selected state information for one or both of an embedded virtual machine and a plurality of applets on an embedded computer device is securely exported to a host computer device. After software updates have been installed, the selected state information can be restored on the embedded computer device from which it was exported and/or it can be migrated to a second embedded computer device.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G02F 113
F21K 200
H01J 162
H05B 3700

US Classification:

350345

Abstract:

A light source, which has a time varying chromatic output, back lights or front lights a plurality of liquid crystal displays disposed in a desired arrangement. Two different colors can be produced at two different times by using a fluorescent light as the light source. The fluorescent light is a sealed tube having a high vacuum with an insert gas therein for energization of the gas and a low pressure mercury vapor. The tube has a coating on the inner surface of the tube of at least one phosphor. Energization of the inert gas causes the low pressure mercury vapor to arc to produce light of a first color during a first time period with the light of the second color being produced solely from the phosphor coating upon the gas being deenergized during the second time period. Each of the liquid crystal displays can be activated during the first time period, the second time period, both time periods, or remain inactivated during both time periods. This selective activation or inactivation of each liquid crystal display produces displayed information in the first color, the second color, or both colors.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

395339

Abstract:

A method and system in a graphical user interface in a data processing system for associating and displaying a plurality of objects are described. A creation of a visually perceptible enclosure having a translucent surface is specified. A plurality of objects within the graphical user interface are specified. Each of the objects are associated with the visually perceptible enclosure. The enclosure is then created. The enclosure and each of its associated plurality of objects are displayed within the graphical user interface. Each of the objects are displayed within the enclosure so that they are partially visible through the translucent surface. The objects are inaccessible while they are displayed within the enclosure. Once the enclosure is removed, the objects are accessible. A code field may be associated with the enclosure.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 9/08

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide a computer-implemented method of executing multi-factor authentication (MFA). In embodiments of the invention, the computer-implemented method includes analyzing multiple categories of MFA factors, wherein a first category of the multiple categories of MFA factors includes a something-you-have MFA (SYH-MFA) factor. The SYH-MFA factor is analyzed by receiving, using a processor of an authenticating entity, an SYH certificate from a to-be-authenticated (TBA) entity; and determining, using the processor, that the SYH-MFA factor is satisfied by determining that the SYH certificate possessed by the TBA entity is valid.

H04L 9/08

Abstract:

Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by generating a hybrid security certificate using multiple cryptosystems. The generating includes obtaining data for inclusion in the hybrid security certificate, and generating a first digital signature associated with a first cryptosystem to cover the data, and a second digital signature associated with a second cryptosystem to cover the data. The generating further includes providing the hybrid security certificate, where the hybrid security certificate includes the data, the first digital signature associated with the first cryptosystem, and the second digital signature associated with the second cryptosystem, and where the first digital signature has no dependency on a key of the second cryptosystem or the second digital signature, and the second digital signature has no dependency on a key of the first cryptosystem or the first digital signature.
