  • Patent number: 11586470
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for running workflows and events using a stateless orchestrator includes: receiving first task data for a first task, where the first task data is information necessary for execution of the first task. The method may also include transmitting a request for a worker node to a provider, where the provider creates the worker node. The method may also include receiving a request from the worker node for the first task data. The method may also include transmitting the first task data to the worker node, where the worker node executes the first task. The method may also include, receiving results of the execution of the first task from the worker node. The method may also include, in response to the receiving the results, transmitting the results to a database.

  • Patent number: 9296189
    Abstract: An example of a composite structure is a containment case 2 for a gas turbine engine 1 which comprises an annular housing 3 and an annular flange 4 which is integral with and is positioned at an end of the housing 3. The housing 3 comprises composite material which includes tape 9 laid in the circumferential direction of the housing. The flange 4 comprises composite material which includes tape 8 laid at an oblique angle to the circumferential direction of the flange 4 and/or tape 7 laid at a perpendicular angle to the circumferential direction. The flange 4 does not include tape 9 laid in the circumferential direction of the flange, because such tape would impede the forming of the flange material to form the flange.
