  • Patent number: 8789050
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for transparently optimizing a workload of a containment abstraction are provided herein. Methods may include monitoring a workload of the containment abstraction, the containment abstraction being at least partially hardware bound, the workload corresponding to resource utilization of the containment abstraction, converting the containment abstraction from being at least partially hardware bound to being entirely central processing unit (CPU) bound by placing the containment abstraction in a memory store, based upon the workload, and allocating the workload of the containment abstraction across at least a portion of a data center to optimize the workload of the containment abstraction.

  • Patent number: 7627627
    Abstract: A method for controlling command message flow in a network including a server and a client. A command window, comprising a maximum number of command messages that may be outstanding at the server, is included in messages sent from the server to the client. The value of the command window at the server is modified in accordance with available server resources for receiving command messages. When there are insufficient resources at the server to process one of the command messages delivered to the server, then a pause message is sent to the client indicating which said command message cannot be received; indicia is stored that indicates the command message initially discarded; and subsequent said command messages delivered to the server are discarded until an initially discarded said command message is again delivered to the server.

  • Patent number: 5797742
    Abstract: An amalgam solids collecting apparatus of the type for collecting an accumulation of a generally separable mixture of liquids and solids, including amalgam solids, and separating the solids from the liquids. The apparatus is connectable to a source of the mixture and is connectable to a vacuum source. The container has an interior area defining a collection portion therein and has an inlet port that communicates with the interior area of the container. The inlet port is couplable to the source of the mixture and the inlet port receives the mixture therethrough. The accumulation of the mixture is contained within the interior area with the headspace above the accumulation. The container has an outlet port with a second aperture therein that communicates with the interior area and that is located above the accumulation. An outflow tube extends through the outflow port, and the outflow tube has a first opening within the container and a second opening exterior of the container.
