...has never been done before, no one else can copy or use the process for a set amount of time. By granting ownership on the basis of a filed patent application by a nation and/or regional authority to be enforced within the same nation and/or region, it protects your invention from being commercially exploited and may extend to most known countries within one year of filing the patent application known as ‘priority’, that may be extended as much as 20 years from the date of filing. It is enforced by the proprietor and is meant to protect industrially applicable/technical inventions only. (Nissen, 2012) Patents ensure that the payoff from R&D and a business’ competitive advantage are maximized, they can also be valuable in generating interest and investments in new and also growing business. This is especially important in new business’ attempting to establish themselves in high tech industries where a new technique can mean the difference between making it in the industry and going bankrupt. It also serves as a readily available and accessible public record of the innovation and developments made by the patent owner and the company (Choksi, 2012). Since you own all rights to the patented idea or process you have the ability to also license others the rights to your patient which will help you spread the overall costs to others while you maintain a profit by allowing others who may be better able to do certain steps or make certain...

...Walden University MMPA-6420-1 Organizational Management and Leadership January 21, 2016 “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant” (Jones-Burbridge 2012, pg. 46). The principle of service guides servant leadership. When applied as a style of management in an organization, servant leadership requires leading by serving others. In the general context of leadership, serving others is oxymoronic. Leaders dominate, delegate, direct, and monitor. They do not often take it upon themselves to 'grow' employees into capable decision makers or self-directed project leaders'. Servant leadership offers a paradigm shift; moving from self-interest to primus inter pares: first among equals. It optimizes team and individual efforts by building leaders among peers. Servant leadership does not support micromanaging staff, or missing opportunities to develop authentic leadership. Servant leadership leads from behind. Sadri and Bowen (2011) explain that Motivated employees move beyond basic work duties to provide their organization with their genuine efforts. They take ownership of the mission and vision of the company building organizational effectiveness. Lichtenwalner (2010) believes servant leadership emphasizes service to all stakeholders regardless of title or position. The focus of this type of leadership is the individualized support that enhances the ability of employees to develop leadership...

To meet up at southland mall at 7pm in the parking lot. | | What channel was used to send the message? Verbal channel was used | | What was the misunderstanding that occurred? The miss understanding happened during the decoding process | | How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? The miss understanding could have been avoided if I would have paid more attention to the end portion of the message. | | 1. What did you learn about the communication process from this activity? What I learned about the communication process in this exercise is the complexity of the communication process steps. Every step is important to the complete success of the message leaving the sender and arriving to the receiver. In this example the message was distorted by distractions or noise that cause me to miscode the message during the decoding process. 2. What seemed to be the main causes of the misunderstandings? The main causes of the misunderstanding was the fact that I was excited and in a hurry to meet up with my friend that I didn’t pay enough attention to the details of the message and missed understood.

In the proposed method, the required data are sent to the process or other processes in a standard message frame and with determined structure to the OS, then, the OS distributes the received message considering its recipient processes in the system, rather a process communicates directly with other specific process. The major features of the proposed method include the synchronization among the processes, the simplicity of implementation, easy extensibility, remote access which finally can improve the interaction between the OS and processes. Along with producing the systems based on an integrated frame, we obtain a determined standard in Inter Process Communication (IPC) by mediating an OS. 1.

...In today’s businesses information systems are a very important part of almost every company. The company I am choosing to write about is the Department of Veteran Affairs for which I work for. Information systems within the Department of Veteran Affairs make the job a lot easier. It simplifies the way we write letters to veterans because we have a program that once you put in the veterans file number it puts in all of his information into the letter such as his address and then it comes up with prompts to choose what to input in the letter. It requires little modification once you choose all the prompts. Information systems also stores most of the veterans information making it quicker to process claims because we don’t have to look into the veteran’s paper file all of the time. They also reduce the amount of mistakes that we make because if you input wrong information most of the time the system won’t process the claim, if it won’t process you know something isn’t matching up and you did something wrong. Our information systems also act as a tracking system. We have a program that can look up a veteran’s file anywhere in the country and can tell who has the file and when they scanned it in. Of course the accuracy of this program still relies on the human input but it is a VA policy that you must scan all the files into your desk as soon as they get to you and you are supposed to scan them to the next location when you send the file away. All the information systems at the...

...James F Sloan III 4/2/15 IT250 Chapter 5 1. The “who” command helps you determine who is logged in on a specific terminal. 2. Give the command “mesg n” to keep other ordinary users from writing to your terminal. You can take this action when you do not want to be disturbed or are viewing something on your screen that you do not want overwritten. 3. $ cp to_do done – it will overwrite the done file with the new file names to_do. $ mv to_do done- it will do the same as cp, the to_do file will overwrite the done file. 4. Give the command apropos editor. Most systems have vim, ex, ed, and more. 5. $ grep "Ace Electronics" phone $ sort phone $ uniq phone 6. When you compare binary files with diff, diff displays a message saying the files differ when the files differ or no message when the files are the same. The diff utility compares ASCII files on a line-by-line basis; it is not designed to compare binary files on a byte-by-byte basis. Use cmp to compare binary files in that manner. 7. The answer is system dependent. 8. The utility displays a message saying that the command you are looking for is not in the list of directories that are in your search path. For example, $ which me /usr/bin/which: no me in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6bin:. 9. No. However, some commands that are built into a shell have an executable counterpart that exists as a file (for example, echo). 10. Approximately twenty, not counting...

...This week I worked on virtual taxes for the first time. I did a few preps and a quality review, it is pretty much the same process but without the pressure of the clients in front of you. It was helpful when there were notes for some situations. For example, the calculations were already done for tuition so it made it easy to just input the numbers. I did run into one where they did not include their birthday or did not answer the healthcare portion, therefore, I was not able to continue with the return. Towards the end of the night I had a client that just recently got married last year and wanted to file separate. The problem I came across was that she did not know her husband’s social security. I was then informed we could not process her return at this time and to come back once she has the information. Amy also explained to me and the client that is always better to file jointly if the couple is married and on good terms and it could really only benefit them more versus filing separately. The highlight of this week of VITA for me was on one of my virtual returns a client wrote a sweet message at the end stating how thankful she was for the program and all of the volunteers. It really shows that what we are doing is so great and just knowing that we are helping people out is so heart...

...E-Commerce Business Models: B2B & B2C Name of the Student Name of the Institution Definition of B2B Model (Business to Business): The B2B business model is defined as a form of trading in which the buyer and different companies come together to make purchases and sales in an electronic environment (Yeoman, 2004). In this kind of trading on the electronic medium both the buyers and the sellers are business people or two organizations. The example of this trade can be when the wholesalers are selling their goods to the retailers through internet. Another example can be when the manufacturers advertise and sell their productions online to the wholesaler or to the retailer. In this kind of trade the end consumer of the product is not involved. Definition of B2C Model (Business to Consumer): Business to consumer model in electronic environment is very effective model in the study of commerce. This model has opened the ways to access to a wide market of customers. In this kind of trade there are more chances of involving the potential customers into sales. B2C model is defined as internet based trading that’s allows the different buyers (manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer) to communicate and sell its product to the end consumer. This model is also defined as all the e-commerce activities that take place to cater end consumer of the product (Coteanu, 2005). Unlikely B2B model the seller is the business person and the buyer is the individual consumer...

Message-oriented Communication 2. Stream-oriented Communication E&IT Department, WUT DOS / Communication (II) – p. 2 Message-oriented Communication – Introduction √ When it cannot be assumed that the receiving side is executing at the time a request (in RPC or RMI) is issued, alternative communication services are needed. The inherent synchronous nature of RPCs and RMIs, by which a client is blocked until its request has been processed, sometimes has to be replaced. Message-oriented communication is proposed. √ √ The message-passing paradigm is widely used approach for programming parallel machines, especially those with distributed memory. E&IT Department, WUT DOS / Communication (II) – p. 3 Message-passing Paradigm – Attributes Two key attributes characterizing the message-passing paradigm: √ it assumes a partitioned address space, √ it supports only explicit parallelization. The logical view of a machine supporting the message-passing paradigm consists of P processes, each with its own exclusive address space.
