Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a method for monitoring various data sources for events indicative of a current or potential system health problem, thereby automating management of system health monitoring, prediction, and notification, and providing the ability to correct said system health issues in the environment of a multiprocessor system.

Abstract: A dynamic workload management system enables system administrators to easily identify installed applications and to assign them to affinity groupings in order of importance to the enterprise and to enable the system administrators to save and restore multiple configurations. The workload configuration is continually updated based on the hardware utilization measurements of the application groups that make up a workload configuration. The software interface of the system of the invention permits the system to dynamically add and remove processors to and from affinity masks that are automatically set up. This feature of the invention allows the application groups to consume CPU resources according to their priority.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for providing the consumption of a set amount of memory within a set amount of time in a server network in order to properly display the capabilities of running multiple applications proprietary suite of tools with the intention of being able to predictably trigger recovery events, and to discover when an application is “over-consuming” memory.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an adhesiveless microfluidic device using solvent assisted thermal welding is provided. The method comprises use of a plurality of device layers of a bulk chemical conformation composition having a glass transition temperature that can be disrupted by a disrupting agent without total solvation, wherein the plurality of device layers when assembled define a plurality of defined component features. The device layers are immersed into the disrupting agent for a time period sufficient to disrupt the glass transition temperature of a defined depth of the surfaces of the device layers prior to their removal from the disrupting agent. The plurality of device layers are assembled and registered by contacting the plurality of device layer surfaces to form the defined component features.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for using liquid junction potentials to control the transport of charged particles in fluid streams that are in laminar flow within microfluidic channels. Applications of the methods of this invention include sample preconditioning (removal of interfering substances), electrophoretic separation (fractionation) of charged particles, enhanced or delayed mixing of charged particles across a fluid interface relative to diffusion only, focusing charged particles in a fluid stream in one or two dimensions, and concentration of charged reactants at a fluid interface.

Abstract: Microfluidic devices and methods are provided for enhancing detection of a diffusion pattern formed by particles diffusing between at least two fluid streams in parallel laminar flow such that an interface is formed between them by increasing the dimension of the streams in the diffusion direction. This may be accomplished by flowing the streams through a transforming turn, or by flowing the streams through a channel having diverging walls. Devices and methods are also provided for enhancing diffusion between two streams comprising changing the interface between said streams from a narrow interface to a broad interface.

Abstract: Multifluidic devices and methods are provided for enhancing detection of a diffusion pattern formed by particles diffusing between at least tow fluid streams I parallel laminar flow such that an interface is formed between them by increasing the dimension of the streams in the diffusion direct. This may be accomplished by flowing the streams through a transforming turn, or by flowing the streams through a channel having diverging walls. Devices and methods are also provided for enhancing diffusion between two streams comprising changing the interface between said streams from a narrow interface to a broad interface.
