Carl Bellingan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11263069
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for determining whether a computing node is in a normal or an abnormal condition based on its characteristics relative to those of other computing nodes. In embodiments, characteristics about computing nodes (e.g., CPU resources used) are used to cluster those computing nodes, and those computing nodes that lie outside of a cluster are identified as abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11106640
    Abstract: A fleet of databases may comprise subsets of databases sharing a common schema for replication, horizontal partitioning and other applications. Events related to potential deviations from a desired schema may be monitored. Automated means may be employed to detect variations from a desired schema. An intermediate representation of database schema may be formed and used to compare database schemas. Subclasses and allowed versions of desired schemas may be defined. Security attributes related to schema inspection and modification may be mapped to enable selected operations on schema.

  • Patent number: 10929259
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing diagnostic tests within a multi-tenant environment are described. Diagnostics are performed on one or more components, such as host computing devices. The one or more components send resulting diagnostic information to an ingester which collects the diagnostic information. The ingester then sends the diagnostic information to a database. A generator is able to query the information in the database and create metrics. Based at least in part on metrics, an alarm may be triggered.

  • Patent number: 10324779
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for determining whether a computing node is in a normal or an abnormal condition based on its characteristics relative to those of other computing nodes. In embodiments, log files for the computing node are used to develop a state model of the computing node, and where the state model differs between two similar computing nodes, an abnormality is identified. In other embodiments, characteristics about computing nodes (e.g., CPU resources used) are used to cluster those computing nodes, and those computing nodes that lie outside of a cluster are identified as abnormal.

  • Patent number: 9741515
    Abstract: Structures, devices, systems, and techniques are provided to represent an operational state of an electronic device. In one aspect, a device that can represent the operational state of the electronic device can comprise a substrate configured to produce an amount of heat in response to a predetermined operational state of the electronic device, and a member thermally coupled to the substrate and having a physical property that is configurable in response to at least the amount of heat produced by the substrate. Configuration of the physical property can yield a specific physical state of the member that represents the predetermined operational state.

  • Patent number: 9413854
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a network-accessible signal-processing service are disclosed. A programmatic interface may be established to enable clients to specify a signal processing workflow comprising one or more elements with respective data sources, data destinations, and processing techniques to be applied to the data obtained from the data sources. An indication of a particular workflow may be received via the interface. A processing technique indicated for an element of the workflow may be initiated at a resource of a provider network, on a data set obtained from a data source of the element. A result of the analysis may be transmitted to a data destination of the element.
