U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Arizona (June 15)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Arizona. *** International Business Machines Assigned Patent for Apparatus, System, and Method for Automated Error Determination Propagation ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 15 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (7,962,791) developed by Matthew Charles Compton, Durham, N.C., Louis Daniel Echevarria, Tucson, Ariz., and Richard Albert Welp, Tucson, Ariz., for an "apparatus, system, and method for automated error determination propagation." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automated data determination propagation. A data package source collects data and compiles the data into data packages. A local data package prioritization module determines a prioritized order of the data packages based on a local priority matrix. The local data package prioritization module sends the data packages in the prioritized order over a temporary data connection to a central data package prioritization module. The local data package prioritization module updates the local priority matrix over the temporary data connection based on a central priority matrix. The central data package prioritization module receives the data packages and makes one or more updates to the central priority matrix based on the data packages." The patent application was filed on Sept. 3, 2008 (12/203,686).
