Patent number: 8839488Abstract: The invention disclosed provides a hinge capable of a vertical and overlay adjustment, comprised of a recessed hinge cup and a hinge arm connected to an attachment plate and an abutment plate which are further connected by a deformable hinge section. An overlay adjustment is provided by bending the deformable hinge section through use of an overlay adjustment screw fitted between the attachment plate and the abutment plate. The novel hinge provided is also adjustable vertically via an adjustment screw accessed by a portal in the attachment plate. The design is less complicated and therefore is lighter and less expensive than previous overlay adjustable hinges and allows delicate and semi-permanent adjustments to be made by a single installer.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2007Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Hardware Resources, Inc.Inventors: Mark Jeffrey Lowe, Udhaya Bhaskar Nallamottu

Patent number: 8825843Abstract: Disclosed are new approaches for monitoring an information system such as a GIS. For each service of a plurality of services provided by service computers, a periodic evaluation is performed by requesting performance of the selected test service routine by the service. If no valid response to the request is received within a response window the monitoring computer may produce an output indicating an error status for the service. The response window may be a time window or a maximum number of transmitted requests without a valid response. A monitoring computer may transmit requests to perform a service at a first period if an error indicator associated therewith is set and periodically at a second period if the error indicator associated therewith is not set. Requests to perform the service may not be transmitted during an exclusion time associated with a service or its corresponding service computer.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Vestra Resources, Inc.Inventors: Davin Peter Laine, Gregg Allen Lanzing
