A method for transferring information between a server (24) and a client (28), through a converter (22), comprising: analyzing at least a portion of the information by the converter (22), to determine a standard used by the server (24) to encode the information in the portion; and replacing at least a portion of the analyzed information with other information, which other information uses a second standard, wherein analyzing comprises parsing the information on a syntactic level and wherein the information comprises at least one Internet hypertext document.

Automatic conversion system

A three-field text string class is employed for data entered in a language which does not employ the latin alphabet or latin character set, but does employ a character set which may be readily sound-mapped to the latin character set. The entered text is stored in a first field of the text string class, while an automatically transliterated representation of the data entered is stored in a second field. The transliteration is generated utilizing a character-mapping resource file table specific to the language in which the text was entered and the language employing the latin character set. The contents of the second field thus provide a recognizable representation of the text string to users unfamiliar with the character set of the language in which the text was entered. The second field's contents also provide a pronunciation key for the entered text string for nonspeakers. An abstract object name entered in Cyrillic characters may thus be recognized and properly pronounced by an user who only speaks English.

A system and method for transforming a procedural program having procedural language code into an object-oriented program, comprises scanning the procedural language code and creating a map based on the scanned procedural language code, storing the scanned procedural language code as intermediate code, processing at least a segment of the procedural language code using the map, creating a first data structure using the processed segment, modifying the intermediate code based on the first data structure and generating an object-oriented program having an object class based on the modified intermediate code.

Embodiments of a LUN security utility which provides LUN security operations including, but not limited to, searching for and locating one or more LUNs, LUN selection, LUN to disk array port binding, LUN masking and fabric zoning operations in one utility. Embodiments may provide a central user interface that guides a user through configuring LUN security operations and allows the user to execute the configured LUN security operations with a single operation. Embodiments may provide a central point from which to perform LUN security operations including one or more of, but not limited to, LUN binding, LUN masking and fabric zoning. Using embodiments, LUN security operations may be performed as a single operation from the perspective of the user.

Storage area network (SAN) management system for discovering SAN components using a SAN management server

A method, system, and computer-readable medium are described for registering and using multilingual domain names that include characters outside the ASCII character subset supported by the DNS system. Such multilingual domain names can in some situations be registered by first being converted into appropriate ASCII-Compatible Encodings (ACEs) that represent the corresponding multilingual domain names and that use only characters within the ASCII character subset. In addition, a variety of binary variants may be generated at registration for each multilingual domain name and then used as equivalents for the multilingual domain name, such as by storing the variants in the registry as alternative domain names or by otherwise reserving the binary variants. When requests to resolve such a registered multilingual domain name into a corresponding IP address or URL are received, the stored binary variants and/or ACE information can then be used to respond in an appropriate manner.

Registering and using multilingual domain names

Techniques to converting source text (e.g., Unicode text) to multiple different encodings are disclosed. The disclosed techniques operate without any font or style information that could suggest the original encoding types. For a given source text, the techniques intelligently determine which of a variety of available target encodings are most appropriate. The determination of the most appropriate target encodings is flexible enough to accommodate different criteria or tolerance levels in performing the conversion as may be desired. The conversion out of Unicode into multiple different encodings also requires the determination of where and when to switch between the available target encodings. Also disclosed is a technique to automatically identify those target encoding that are available.

Unicode conversion into multiple encodings

According to the system and method disclosed herein, the present invention provides a system and method for organizing information to perform accurate and efficient collation for information such as languages of various nationalities and regions. This invention provides a number of improvements over the existing string comparison routines: portability, improved performance, ability to handle Unicode, and improved linguistic capability.

Method and system for collation in a processing system of a variety of distinct sets of information

A code conversion system that takes direction into consideration when converting characters from a source character encoding to a target character encoding is disclosed. The code conversion system is able to map a single source character or a sequence of characters to either a single target character or a sequence of target characters. By determining or resolving the direction of the characters being converted, the code conversion system can then utilize the determined or resolved direction of the characters to ensure that the correct mapping to the target character encoding is obtained.

Bidirectional code converter

A truncation technique for a character code conversion system is disclosed. The truncation technique ensures that a source string received for conversion is accurately converted into a different, target character encoding even when the source string exceeds the length of an input buffer which holds the source string for conversion. The truncation processing technique operates to truncate a portion of the source string held in the input buffer so that the truncated portion is able to be converted to the target character encoding without being affected by subsequent characters in the source string.

Code converter with truncation processing

A code conversion system that takes context into consideration when converting characters from a source character encoding to a target character encoding. The code conversion system is able to map a single source character or a sequence of characters to either a single target character or a sequence of target characters. By determining the context of the characters, the code conversion system can then utilize the determined context of the characters to ensure that the correct mapping to the target encoding is obtained.
