  • Patent number: 11949703
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for summarizing, diagnosing, and correcting the cause of anomalous behavior in computing systems. In some embodiments, a system identifies a plurality of time series that track different metrics over time for a set of one or more computing resources. The system detects a first set of anomalies in a first time series that tracks a first metric and assigns a different respective range of time to each anomaly. The system determines whether the respective range of time assigned to an anomaly overlaps with timestamps or ranges of time associated with anomalies from one or more other time series. The system generates at least one cluster that groups metrics based on how many anomalies have respective ranges of time and/or timestamps that overlap. The system may preform, based on the cluster, one or more automated actions for diagnosing or correcting a cause of anomalous behavior.

  • Patent number: 10364544
    Abstract: Foundation footing system for a load-bearing structure comprising a hole in the ground and a post in the hole extending above the hole. A gap present between the sides of the post and the sides of the hole contains a cured, hydrophobic, closed-cell, polyurethane foam to firmly hold the post in place and protect the post from moisture. Alternatively, a foundation footing system for a load-bearing structure comprising a hole in the ground filled with a cured, hydrophobic, closed-cell, polyurethane foam and a post place on and connected to the top of the foam.

  • Patent number: 7976610
    Abstract: A direct smelting process for producing molten metal from a metalliferous feed material in a direct smelting vessel is disclosed. The process includes using a stream of off-gas from the vessel as a fuel gas in (i) stoves for generating a hot blast of air or oxygen-enriched air for the process and (ii) a waste heat recovery apparatus for generating steam for the process. The process also includes controlling pressure in the vessel by controlling pressure in the off-gas stream while the process is producing molten metal.
