  • Publication number: 20240134708
    Abstract: A system and method for assigning a workload to one of a plurality of candidate host machines of a computing environment. The method may include receiving a request to schedule a workload, selecting a virtual machine type for executing the workload, for each candidate host machine of the plurality of candidate host machines, determining an expected waste score indicating a likelihood of resources at the candidate host machine remaining unused if the virtual machine type is assigned to the candidate host machine, selecting the candidate host machine for which the expected waste score is the lowest, and assigning the workload to the selected candidate host machine.

  • Patent number: 11161224
    Abstract: A chain sprocket tensioner wrench apparatus for safely and easily loosening engine belt tensioners in tight spaces includes a housing and a frame clip coupled to a bottom edge of the housing configured to selectively engage a frame of a truck. A sprocket is rotatably coupled within the housing and is configured to selectively receive a socket wrench to be driven. A chain stop is coupled to a back edge of the housing. A chain has a proximal end pivotably coupled to the chain stop, extends over the sprocket, and extends down beneath the frame clip. A wrench is pivotably coupled to a distal end of the chain and is configured to selectively engage a belt tensioner of an engine of the truck. Driving the sprocket drive head lifts the chain to pivot the wrench and rotate the wrench drive head to loosen the belt tensioner.

  • Patent number: 5720542
    Abstract: A hand tool system having a longitudinally extendable operating component and a longitudinally extendable support component for reaching a remote and/or confined location. The operating component includes a worm drive having a proximal end for attachment to a rotational drive device such as a drill motor, and a distal end for attachment to a rotational driver having a first end which can accept a connector engagement device such as a screwdriver head or other type bit and a second end from which extends a pivotable arm. The support component has a pivotable distal end with a securement member releasably securable to a structure, a hand engageable proximal end, and an exterior surface slidingly engageable with the pivotal arm extending from the driver.
