Embodiments for valuing patents by one or more processors are described. A plurality of patents are analyzed with a first patent valuation model and at least a second patent valuation model. A selection of a filter of the results of said analysis of the plurality of patents with the first patent valuation model and the at least a second patent valuation model is detected. A list of some of the plurality of patents is generated based on said analysis of the plurality of patents with the first patent valuation model and the at least a second patent valuation model and the selected filter of the results of said analysis of the plurality of patents with the first patent valuation model and the at least a second patent valuation model.

Methods and systems for valuing patents with multiple valuation models

Embodiments for processing language by one or more processors are described. A plurality of document portions are detected. Each of the plurality of document portions includes text in a respective language type. The text of each of the plurality of document portions is converted to a standardized language type. A language processing method is caused to be performed on the plurality of document portions after the converting of the text of each of the plurality of document portions to the standardized language type.

Methods and systems for processing language with standardization of source data

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system provides security for a device and includes at least one processor. The system monitors a plurality of networked devices for a security risk. Each networked device is associated with a corresponding security risk tolerance. In response to a monitored security risk for one or more of the plurality of networked devices exceeding the corresponding risk tolerance, a network service is initiated to perform one or more actions on each of the one or more networked devices to alleviate the associated security risk. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for providing security to a device in substantially the same manner described above.

Security for devices connected to a network

In one embodiment, power level management in accordance with the present description, is provided in a storage unit having both a disk storage drive, and another non-volatile, non-disk memory or storage such as a solid state drive, for storing metadata. The metadata storage provides direct access to the metadata stored in the non-disk storage even though the disk storage drive may be in a low power mode in which the data storage media disk of the disk storage drive is stopped or spinning at a reduced rate of rotation. As a result, power consumption and cooling requirements associated with disk storage drives, may be reduced in a low power level mode of storage unit operation for input/output operations limited to metadata stored in the metadata storage. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

Power level management in a data storage system

A system and method of implementing an end-of-life purchase of an item used in manufacturing. A method includes comparing a supply of an article to a demand for the article. The method also includes securing an amount of the article when the supply does not exceed the demand by a predetermined threshold, and waiting a predetermined period of time before repeating the comparing when the supply exceeds the demand by the predetermined threshold.

Implementing an end-of-life purchase

In an approach for notifying, a computer receives one or more preemption notifications, wherein the one or more preemption notifications are associated with one or more priority vehicles. The computer identifies a device that is within range of the received one or more preemption notifications, wherein the device includes one or more directional indicators. The computer one or more directions of approach associated with the received one or more preemption notifications relative to the identified device. The computer determines a number of approaching priority vehicles associated with each instance of the identified one or more directions of approach relative to the identified device. The computer initiates to display through the one or more directional indicators of the identified device the identified total number of approaching priority vehicles associated with the one or more identified directions of approach relative to the identified device.

Directional traffic notifications of approaching priority vehicles

Intelligent action recommendation in a conversation monitors content of a conversation among at least two participants in real time. An overall goal of the conversation that represents a motivation for at least one of the participants to engage in the conversation is identified. The overall goal of the conversation is to be achieved upon termination of the conversation. At least one conversational input relevant to the monitored content and having a likelihood of advancing the conversation to successful achievement of the overall goal of the conversation is identified. The identified conversational input is communicated to at least one of the participants in the conversation.

Intelligent action recommendation

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining whether a medium in a drive is in motion, the drive being mounted in a receptacle. In response to determining that the medium is in motion, physical removal of the drive from the receptacle is prevented. In another embodiment, a computer program product for controlling removal of a drive includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

Preventing physical removal of a drive with a medium in motion for mitigating damage events to components of the drive

A storage system, according to one embodiment, includes a receptacle, a controller, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is configured to prevent physical removal of a hard disk drive from the receptacle in response to a determination that a hard disk in the hard disk drive is in motion. The locking mechanism is configured to allow physical removal of the hard disk drive from the receptacle in response to a determination that the hard disk is not in motion. An apparatus, according to another embodiment, includes a drive having an integrated locking mechanism. The drive is configured to prevent physical removal of the drive from a receptacle in response to a determination that a medium in the drive is in motion, and allow physical removal of the drive from the receptacle in response to a determination that the medium in the drive is not in motion.

Polymer-fused batteries are provided. The battery includes a casing, an anode coupled to the casing, an electrical source disposed between the casing and the anode, and a fuse. The polymer fuse comprises an electrically-conductive material formulated to decompose upon contact with a bodily fluid.

Polymer fused batteries

A solar panel enclosure converts sunlight to electricity. To remove the large amount of heat from the enclosure a chambered heat exchanger (CHE) is thermally coupled thereto. An air temperature differential is created between chamber air in a CHE portion and chamber air within a CHE heat exchanging portion. When a threshold thermal gradient is reached, air pressure that keeps the chamber air static is overcome creating airflow within the chamber. The airflow draws cooler ambient air from a chamber inlet. Heat from the enclosure is transferred to the cool air and is exhausted from a chamber outlet.
