20100306252 | Efficient Use of Peer Cache Space In Large Scale File Distributions - A mechanism for providing efficient use of peer cache space in large scale file distributions. A peer computer receives a download plan for a requested file. The download plan specifies a number of peer servers where the file is stored, a minimum number of peer servers required to store the file, and a saturation level for the file in the zone. When the peer computer downloads the file from one or more peer servers listed in the download plan, the peer computer determines whether the file is required to be cached at the peer computer by comparing the minimum number of peer servers in the plan required to store the file against the number of peer servers listed in the plan. If the minimum number required to store the file is greater the number of peer servers listed in the plan, the peer computer caches the file. | 12-02-2010 |

20090125569 | DYNAMIC REPLICATION ON DEMAND POLICY BASED ON ZONES - The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable program code for automatically replicating a file. A request to download a file is received from a requester. The location of the requester and of each server on the network is mapped. A determination of whether a copy of the file exists on a content server associated with the requester, based on the location of the requester and the location of the content server, is made. In response to a determination that a copy of the file does not exist on a content server associated with the requester, a content server associated with the requester to which to replicate the file based on the location of the requester and the location of the content server is determined. The requester is notified of the determined content server. The file is replicated to the determined content server. | 05-14-2009 |

20090052478 | Beam Director Flow Control - Systems and methods are described for controlling flow disturbances emanating from a protrusion, such as a beam propagating device. In one embodiment, a method includes positioning a flow control element at least partially around a base portion of a protrusion, wherein the flow control element includes at least one flow expanding feature. A reduced pressure zone is generated proximate an aft portion of the protrusion by expanding at least a portion of a flowfield. One or more flow disturbances emanating downstream from the protrusion are deflected using the at least one reduced pressure zone. | 02-26-2009 |
20100074758 | LAMINAR FLOW ROTOR AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS - A rotor blade including a root attachable to a rotor hub. The blade includes a tip and one or more channels aligned within the blade generally between the root and the tip. Each channel has a sealed first end and a second end vented to outside the blade. The channel(s) are vented to one or more exterior surfaces of the blade through one or more apertures in the exterior surface(s). | 03-25-2010 |
20120091262 | FORWARD SWEPT WINGLET - An aircraft may include a pair of wings. A forward swept winglet may be attached proximate to a wing tip of each wing. The forward swept winglet may include a leading edge and a trailing edge. The leading edge of each winglet may extend from the wing at a predetermined forward sweep angle relative to a line perpendicular to a chord of the wing tip in a direction corresponding to a forward portion of the aircraft. | 04-19-2012 |
20130256460 | PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING WINGLET SYSTEM AND METHOD - A winglet system for an aircraft wing may include an upper winglet and a lower winglet mounted to a wing tip. The lower winglet may have a static position when the wing is subject to a ground static loading. The lower winglet may be configured such that upward deflection of the wing under an approximate 1-g flight loading causes the lower winglet to move from the static position to an in-flight position and resulting in a relative span increase of the wing. | 10-03-2013 |

20090030913 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IN-LINE PROCESSING OF STANDARDIZED TEXT VALUES - A method of in-line processing of standardized text values. A standardization utility defines multiple standardization rules in response to user input from a graphical user interface (GUI). The standardization rules correspond to text and integer data in a database. The standardization utility generates a Java class template for each data model object that requires standardization. The standardization utility generates public methods for each data attribute that corresponds to a standardization rule and converts the public methods into Java code. The standardization utility compiles the Java code into multiple helper classes and stores the helper classes within a Java Archive (JAR) file in the library path of applications that input text into the database. The standardization utility assigns a tracking number to each new helper class. The standardization utility loads the helper classes into Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) that are accessible to applications capable of inputting data into the database. | 01-29-2009 |

20080243856 | Methods and Apparatus for Scoped Role-Based Access Control - Methods and apparatus for providing role-based access control of a resource by a subject in an access control system are provided. The system comprises one or more roles capable of association with one or more subjects, and a plurality of permission sets. One or more of the plurality of permission sets are associated with each of the one or more roles. The system further comprises a plurality of resources. One or more of the plurality of resources are associated with each of the one or more permission sets, and each of the plurality of resources is associated with a set of one or more subjects. A given subject in a set of one or more subjects for a given resource and having a role-permission association with the given resource is provided access control of the given resource. | 10-02-2008 |
