Filed:

Apr 1, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/404334

Inventors:

David Blair Gilgen - Raleigh NC, US
Thomas Owings Rowe - Chapel Hill NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

719318, 718102, 718104

Abstract:

The present invention is an enhanced staged event-driven architecture (SEDA) stage. The enhanced SEDA stage can include an event queue configured to enqueue a plurality of events, an event handler programmed to process events in the event queue, and a thread pool coupled to the event handler. A resource manager further can be coupled to the thread pool and the event queue. Moreover, the resource manager can be programmed to allocate additional threads to the thread pool where a number of events enqueued in the event queue exceeds a threshold value and where all threads in the thread pool are busy.

Zackary A. James - Raleigh NC, US
Thomas O. Rowe - Chapel Hill NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203, 709217, 709223

Abstract:

A high-speed content transformation method, system and apparatus. The method can include inspecting a request for transcoded content to determine input documents required to produce the requested transcoded content; determining whether the input documents have been characterized as standalone, and further determining freshness criteria for the input documents which are determined to have been characterized as standalone; locating in cache storage previously generated transcoded content corresponding to the input documents determined to have been characterized as standalone; and, serving the previously generated transcoded content in response to the request rather than generating the requested transcoded content using the input documents where the previously transcoded content meets the freshness criteria.

International Classification:

G06F009/46

US Classification:

709/330000

Abstract:

Information/web page content is provided to a client and tailored to specific users by including user or session-specific identity data in the initial query. The identity data are obtained from reading a code from a physical object, combining the code with information stored within the client, and embedding the result in the initial query. Before transmitting the query, the data can be compressed using a technique that resists inadvertent expansion caused by URL encoding. A server receiving the query operates on the identity data using, for example, a scoring algorithm and maps the query to a target URL specifying the location of the tailored information. If the file associated with the target URL cannot be located, the server accesses an error handling system to provide the user with alternative content. The server logs the query, including the associated target URL, providing a data warehouse capability.

International Classification:

A61K 31/453
A61K 31/4164

US Classification:

514324000, 514401000

Abstract:

Stable compositions comprising ketotifen or a ketotifen salt and methods of preparing such compositions are provided. The pH of the compositions remains at less than about 5 during storage. The methods comprise preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising ketotifen or a ketotifen salt, and adjusting their pH to less than 5, thus slowing the changes of the active ingredients.

US Classification:

424450, 514170, 514171, 514182

Abstract:

A topical application formulation of estrogen and estrogen analogs or other estrogen receptor modulators is disclosed for the treatment of primary or secondary dry eye syndrome (also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)). Preferred formulations include 17-β-estradiol and its derivatives in lipid, liposomes, polymers, or aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles for the topical treatment of the ocular surface tissues particularly as time-release or micro-dose formulations. These formulations may also be useful in treating other conditions where KCS may occur, such as post-operative refractive surgery and corneal transplant patients.
