  • Publication number: 20230409419
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for automatic processing of computer logging events may be provided. In one embodiment, the process comprises determining an application priority model relating to a plurality of computer applications being executed on a device. A usage pattern model is also determined by monitoring utilization of the plurality of applications based on usage of the applications by a priority of users. A log flow control policy is also determined using logging information. All determined models also use a set of metrics to derive a log flow rules. These rules are used to manage log flow control policies when processing a plurality of logs.

  • Patent number: 7472399
    Abstract: A method and system for a client invoking on an interface defined in a first notation to invoke an object having an interface defined in a second notation is disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of: automatically generating an intermediate object that receives a first message from a first object; the message representing at least one data structure; the at least one data structure comprising at least one dynamic data type; the intermediate object converting the representation of the at least one data structure and at least one data type into a representation of at least one statically defined data structure; the intermediate object sending a second message to a second object; the second message comprising the representation of the at least one statically defined data structure. In one preferred embodiment, the method and system facilitate communication between CORBA and Java EJB objects.

  • Publication number: 20060206525
    Abstract: A communication system is introduced to integrate middleware having in-ports, out-ports, a configurator, and intermediary elements. The configurable in-ports and out-ports are used to facilitate communication with specific middleware among a set of middleware. A configurator configures in-ports and out-ports corresponding to specific middleware, wherein each in-port and each out-port is configured based on a binding and a transport. The configured in-ports, the configured out-ports, and the intermediary elements form one or more paths over which data is moved, with each of the intermediary elements performing any of, or a combination of, the following: propagation of transaction information, transformation of data, load balancing, fault tolerance, session management, orchestration, security, or control of transaction boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20060200515
    Abstract: A system and method is introduced that integrates middleware components without canonicalization of data at runtime. An interface receives inputs identifying at least a first and second middleware to be made interoperative and a configurator configures at least an in-port and an out-port based on a binding and transport associated with the first and second middleware, respectively. Interoperation of the first and second middleware is effected via at least one communication path between the configured in-port and out-port, wherein the communication path allows an incoming message to pass from the in-port corresponding to said first middleware to the out-port corresponding to the second middleware without the creation of an intermediate canonical message.

  • Patent number: 6119657
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed which is intended for use with an injector. The connector comprises a projection defining an inlet passage sealed, in use, within a bore provided in the injector. The inlet passage communicates with at least one outlet passage. The connector further comprises at least one tooth received within a recess provided in the injector to secure the connector to the injector. The recess is conveniently defined by a body and nut forming part of the injector.

  • Patent number: 6019088
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement for mounting a component, for example a fuel injector, in a desired position comprises a sleeve which surrounds part of the component and includes a screw-threaded end region. At a point spaced from the first end, the sleeve defines a groove arranged to receive a resilient member which cooperates, in use, with a groove provided in the component to secure the component to the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 5711279
    Abstract: A fuel system is disclosed which comprises a fuel pump, a spill valve and an injector provided in a single unit. The injector includes a valve member biased towards a seating by a coiled compression spring. The spring is engaged between a spring abutment of the valve member and a piston. The piston is arranged such that the face thereof facing away from the spring has fuel applied thereto when the spill valve is opened in order to assist movement of the valve member into engagement with the seating.

  • Patent number: 4080109
    Abstract: A fuel injection pumping apparatus includes an injection pump to which fuel is supplied from a feed pump under the control of throttle means. A component of the injection pump is adjustable by the application of fluid pressure to a piston. The fluid pressure is derived by way of a fixed orifice the downstream of which is connected to a cylinder containing the piston, the downstream side of the orifice being connected to a drain by way of a second fixed orifice and a variable orifice is provided which is adjustable with the throttle means and which determines the pressure applied to the piston.
