  • Patent number: 10565023
    Abstract: Technologies are described for protecting compute resources during outage conditions. For example, when an outage condition is detected, currently allocated compute resources can be protected by not releasing them in response to the outage condition. For example, a load pattern representing historical usage of compute resources by a computer service can be obtained. A predicted load pattern of compute resources can be generated based on the obtained load pattern. An outage condition related to the computer service can then be detected based on the predicted load pattern. In response to detecting the outage condition, compute resources can be protected and not released in response to the outage condition.

  • Patent number: 8578540
    Abstract: A mop head assembly having: a base plate member with a generally flat bottom portion adapted to receive a flexible cleaning member; and an electric motor mounted on the base plate member at a laterally centered position thereon and having a rotatable shaft with an asymmetric weight mounted thereon, the shaft projecting downwardly from the electric motor and oriented substantially perpendicular to the base plate bottom portion, wherein rotation of the asymmetric weight on the shaft causes the base plate to vibrate primarily in a plane parallel to the flat bottom portion. A cover member that covers the electric motor and which is positioned over other components mounted on the base plate is also described.
