US Patent:

6697479, Feb 24, 2004

Filed:

Oct 12, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/415718

Inventors:

Stacey Alan Barnes - Round Rock TX
James C. Colson - Austin TX
James Patrick Robbins - Austin TX

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

37921501, 379 8819, 37914208

Abstract:

Selective filtering of an incoming telephone call is provided wherein a caller ID information of a third party wishing to converse with a first party already engaged in conversation with a second party is retrieved. The priority level associated with the third party is then determined and compared to a priority level associated with the second party. In the event that the third party has a higher priority level than the second party, the first party is alerted to the occurrence of the incoming call. Alternatively, if the third party has a lower priority level than the second party, the incoming call to an alternate destination.

Assignee:

Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65D 75/00

US Classification:

206447, 229120011

Abstract:

A package for storing and dispensing a consumable product is provided. The package can be easily constructed from a suitable blank of material and can be composed of first and second compartments hingedly and detachably secured to each other. The package has an initially unopened configuration where the first and second compartments define a substantially common plane. The package is openable from the initially unopened configuration by relative movement of the first and second compartments about the hinge. The package is reconfigurable to either of first and second closed configurations after the initial opening. In the first closed configuration the first and second compartments define a substantially common plane and in the second closed configuration the first and second compartments define spaced apart substantially parallel planes. A blank for a package, a method of making the package and a method of reconfiguring the package are also disclosed.

International Classification:

US Classification:

717148, 717140, 717151, 717153

Abstract:

A system and method are provided to allow demand loading and discarding of Java executable image (JXE) files. The virtual machine allocates an address space for a requested JXE program. The read-only portion of the JXE file is memory mapped from its nonvolatile location to the allocated memory space using read-only mapping and the read/write section of the JXE file are loaded into memory. When a page of the JXE program is needed, a page fault occurs if the read-only portion has not been loaded into memory. The operating system's page fault handler retrieves the needed page(s) from the nonvolatile storage location based upon the mapping data that resulted from the previously performed memory mapping. Because the read-only section of the JXE file is memory mapped using read-only mapping, the operating system's paging process is free to discard previously loaded memory pages that contain read-only portions of the JXE file.

Inventors:

Philip Langdale - Austin TX, US
Mikael Orn - Phoenix AZ, US
James Robbins - Austin TX, US
William Tracey - Round Rock TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F009/45

US Classification:

717148000

Abstract:

A system and method for reclaiming memory occupied by compiled code resulting from a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler is provided. An address space used to store code resulting from a JIT compiler is memory mapped using a special filesystem. A map is maintained identify method name and corresponding JIT pages. When the memory manager needs more space, it requests that the special filesystem write the data from memory back to nonvolatile storage. The special filesystem acts as if the data was written. When the code is subsequently called, a page fault and an invalid operation exception occur and are handled. The data in the map is used to recompile the method to the same address space and the faulting instruction is re-executed.

Abstract:

The present invention is a method for enabling a trusted dialog for collection of sensitive data, including the steps of: storing a personal security token specified by a user; receiving an input dialog request from an application; determining whether the application is a signed application; and, if a determination is made that the application is a signed application, accessing the personal security token and allowing the input dialog to be displayed with the personal security token and signed application identification. The personal security token may be at least one of an audible recording or a set of vibratory motions.
