  • Patent number: 10933729
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a powertrain support mount assembly. In one example, the powertrain support mount assembly comprises a first bracket and a second bracket, the second bracket comprising an engagement feature shaped to engage with the first bracket during a vehicle collision, which adjusts a load of the second bracket to decouple from the engage and avoid contacting an auxiliary component adjacent to the powertrain.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9776494
    Abstract: A motor vehicle body structure includes a frame rail and a bracket attached to the rail and adapted for attaching an engine mount. The bracket has a first portion secured to the frame rail beneath the engine mount and at least one cantilever portion projecting at one end beyond the first portion. The cantilever portion defines an anchoring point for attachment of the engine mount that is spaced from the frame rail so that the portion of the frame rail beneath the anchoring point may undergo controlled deformation in the event of a front end vehicle collision.

  • Patent number: 9707836
    Abstract: A roll restrictor for restraining movement of a vehicle powertrain relative to a vehicle sub-frame. The roll restrictor has a bracket for coupling to the sub-frame in the form of a generally U-shaped housing defining a central cavity. A link arm for coupling to the powertrain has a first end positioned within the cavity and extends through an opening in the bracket. A plurality of resilient elements are disposed within the cavity between the housing and the first end of the link arm to resist movement of the first end relative to the bracket.

  • Publication number: 20060259526
    Abstract: Nested recovery scope management systems and methods for a multiple process computer system having a dynamic multiple address space server are disclosed. Stateless recovery agents are employed, under the control of a supervisory program called Recovery Director, during initialization or restart of servers to restore recoverable data in response to identified failures or other abnormal termination. The Director controls the recovery of protected resources in a systematic manner. The Director is initialized when a first address space of a first server is started. Then, as each instance of a recoverable component is initialized, the component registers with the Director by providing a reference to a stateless recovery agent that can later perform recovery functions for it if needed. As part of the registration, a token representing the current failure scope of the registration is generated and provided to the recoverable component by the Director.

  • Publication number: 20060136887
    Abstract: A histogram, or resource status history table, for multiple resources is created and maintained. A transaction or resource manager arranges and/or reorders various resources into a sequence based on the histogram such that read-only resources are prepared first and a sole non-read-only resource need not be prepared, but only committed. The transaction manager heuristically determines the order that resources are driven to achieve last-agent optimization. The histogram is kept related to context, based on runtime and applications context to ensure that usage patterns by context are optimized without the need for the installation to know any usage patterns.

  • Publication number: 20050144299
    Abstract: Indoubt transaction entries are recorded for each member of a database cluster, thereby avoiding the CPU cost and elapsed-time impact of persisting this information to a disk (either via a log write or a relational table I/O). This implementation allows for full read/write access and data coherency for concurrent access by all the members in the database cluster. At any given point in time, a full list of indoubt transactions is maintained for the entire database cluster in a relational table (e.g., an SQL table).
