Patent number: 9104579Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for managing remote computers that are separated from their manager by a firewall. In one or more embodiments, the apparatus includes one or more computer sub-systems managed by the remote manager. Each sub-system includes a processor and a communication interface coupled to the processor, where the communication interface is further coupled to the remote manager via a network. A firewall is implemented between each sub-system and the remote manager such that the firewall blocks accesses to the sub-system from the remote manager. Notwithstanding the presence of the firewall, and without an specific routing through the firewall, each sub-system receives configuration commands from the remote manager through as a text feed.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: Nick Stephen, Thierry Roussel, Jean-Francois Denise

Publication number: 20070294704Abstract: A compiler converts managed object format code or common information model extensible markup language code to instances that can be implemented by management extension models such as Java Management Extension MBeans. The instances which are generated by the compiler interface work together with a meta-model service that exposes the semantics of each object within the common information model to the run-time environment through a parallel managed extension model interface. This meta-model also introspects the common information model so as to provide a query service by forming associations between objects of the common information model and instances of the management extension model.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2006Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: SUN MICROSYSTEMS., INC.Inventors: Nicholas M.

Patent number: 6758506Abstract: The energy absorber is provided for interposing between a rigid beam and a bumper skin in order to absorb, by compression, the energy of impacts directed in a crumpling direction. The energy absorber comprises a set of ribs each of which extends parallel to the crumpling direction and each of which possesses a free edge for pressing against the beam. The set of ribs includes at least one rib arranged in the event of an impact so that its free edge remains pressed against the beam, while the rib itself buckles, and at least one other rib arranged in such a manner that in the event of an impact, its free end escapes from the beam, causing the rib to bend.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2003Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Compagnie Plastic OmniumInventors: Stephane Malteste, Thierry Roussel, Laurent Rocheblave, Thierry Cavillon
