20110241928 | RADAR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A radar system for discriminating between sources of radar interference and targets of interest. The system includes a transmitter for transmitting radar signals into a region, a receiver for receiving return signals of the radar signals returned from within the region, and a processor for processing the return signals to discriminate between return signals returned from a first object and return signals returned from a second object where the return signals from the second object comprise both zero and non-zero Doppler components and interfere with the return signals from the first object. The radar system is operable for discriminating between the return signals when the return signals are received at a distance from the second object which is less than a proximity limit based on the geometry of the object. | 10-06-2011 |

20090064093 | System for Navigating Beans Using Filters and Container Managed Relationships - A system for navigating relationships between beans using filters and container managed relationships is provided. With the system, filters are specified in the relationship definition of a deployment descriptor of a bean. The filters generate additional predicates to the WHERE clauses in SQL SELECT statements generated based on the contents of the deployment descriptor. Moreover, these filters may be defined such that method parameters may be passed into the resulting deployed code to thereby make them more flexible. Therefore, with the system, rather than defining filters programmatically in methods of a bean's implementation class, filters are defined declaratively in the deployment descriptor of the bean. Since these filters are specified in the deployment descriptor of the bean, they are accessible to clients of the bean through the local interface. | 03-05-2009 |
20130339480 | SERVICE REGISTRY FOR WEB SERVICES - Embodiments relate to operating a service registry for web services, the service registry comprising a plurality of different environments for the web services. An aspect includes detecting the creation of a first endpoint definition document for a specific web service, the first endpoint definition document defining address data for the specific web service in one environment. Another aspect includes accessing data defining the different environments associated with the service registry. Another aspect includes creating one or more additional endpoint definition documents for the specific web service from the first endpoint definition document and the accessed data. Yet another aspect includes storing the one or more additional endpoint definition documents using the service registry. | 12-19-2013 |

20110125800 | SERVICE REGISTRY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SAVING AND RESTORING A FACETED SELECTION - An ordered sequence of two or more facet provider objects are associated and each is configured to select successive subsets of data in a registry via a database upon a user request to create and configure a faceted selection. Upon a user selection of a save feature, each associated facet provider object is serialized in the ordered sequence, and each serialization is collected into an ordered list of serializations and saved. The serialization of each facet provider object is performed by one of the respective facet provider object and a facet provider object of a same type as the respective facet provider object. A selection statement is constructed from the associated facet provider objects in the ordered sequence. A difference between the constructed selection statement and an actual selection statement is calculated and the selection statement difference is appended to the saved ordered list of serializations. | 05-26-2011 |
