Patent number: 10735299Abstract: Managing connections for execution of a client software application. A client software application is analyzed before execution of the application using code analysis and, optionally non-functional metadata analysis, of the application to determine one or more classifications of operations of the application. A mapping of application operation classifications to server characteristics suited to the application operation classifications is maintained. Multiple servers currently available to process at least a portion of the client software application may be monitored, and each of the multiple servers may be characterized according to their performance and resources. The classifications of operations of the analyzed application may be compared to the characteristics of the multiple servers currently available using the mapping, and a server may be selected based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Graham David Hopkins, Timothy Jonathan Quigly, Luke David Charles Saker, Craig H. Stirling, Matthew B. White

Patent number: 7963853Abstract: A shaft may include a first coupling member, a second coupling member, a filament wound shaft member, and a pilot shaft. The first coupling member may couple the shaft to one of a rotationally driving and a rotationally driven component. The second coupling member may be axially spaced from the first coupling member and may couple the shaft to the other of the rotationally driving and the rotationally driven component. The filament wound shaft member may have a first end fixed to the first coupling member, a second end fixed to the second coupling member, and a body portion extending therebetween. The pilot shaft may be disposed radially within the filament wound shaft member and may extend from the first coupling member to the second coupling member.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: KOP-Flex Inc.Inventors: Michael W. Brace, Charles A. Sakers, Scott Levy

Patent number: 7665373Abstract: A torque transferring and monitoring device includes a coupling having a hub portion, a first rim portion, a first set of spokes radially extending between the hub portion and the first rim portion, a second rim portion spaced apart from the first rim portion and a second set of spokes radially extending between the hub portion and the second rim portion. The second set of spokes are axially spaced apart from the first set of spokes. A plurality of pins are fixed to the first rim portion. Each pin has a portion positioned in an aperture formed in the second rim portion. The pin is clear of the second rim portion when the coupling is in an unloaded state. The pin engages the second rim portion to transfer load between the first and second rim portions when a torque exceeding a predetermined magnitude is transferred through the coupling.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2008Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Kop-Flex Inc.Inventors: Charles A. Sakers, William R. Meier

Computer aided design document generation and delivery system over distributed communication systems
Publication number: 20060106474Abstract: A CAD drawing generation and delivery system comprises a CAD module that produces CAD documents. A CAD automation module receives design specifications including a selection of system components, an arrangement of the components, and a dimension relating to at least one of the components, and selectively operates the CAD module to generate one of the CAD drawings based on the design specifications. A server delivers the CAD drawing to a user at a remote location via a distributed communications system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Jon Mancuso, Parthiv Amin, Charles Sakers, Trevor Lewis -
Publication number: 20060106475Abstract: A system for designing a set of coupling components for coupling driving and driven shafts comprises an input module that provides a user interface for entering user input including one or more design parameters and/or user selections. A coupling selection and design module attempts to design at least one set of coupling components that meet the design parameters based on the user selections. An output module generates a coupling design specification file based on a selected one of the sets of coupling components from the coupling selection and design module.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Jon Mancuso, Trevor Lewis, Charles Sakers, Michael D'Angelo, Parthiv Amin

Patent number: 6273824Abstract: A flexible coupling between drive and driven shaft members includes a diaphragm member having an offset base and outer periphery that is relatively more flexible than the radially inner base which is formed integrally with one of the shaft members or at least an intermediate coupling sleeve. A transition zone of the diaphragm extends through an arcuate curve to facilitate attachment between the shafts and one that will allow flexing of the diaphragm to accommodate dimensional changes in the shaft members as a result of cooling after assembly of the coupling.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Kop-Flex, Inc.Inventors: Steve D'Ercole, Charles A Sakers
