Publication number: 20240264912Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically failing over all services operating on a primary region to a secondary region upon detection or notification of a fault in the primary region. When a fault exists on the primary region, the method traverses each cluster containing services operating on the primary region and prepares an input file including a list of service names identifying each service operating on the primary region. Referencing the input file, the method fails over each service from the primary region to the secondary region by modifying a service weight corresponding to each service. This failover process of services may be done simultaneously with failing over any databases corresponding to the failed-over services from the primary region to the secondary region. The method may also introduce a sleep time after modifying each service weight to avoid any potential throttling issues.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2024Publication date: August 8, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Ateet Kumar AWASTHI, Chris FIELDS, Saral JAIN, Matt HOWARTH

Patent number: 11037778Abstract: A gas discharge lamp and photoionization sensor employing the gas discharge lamp. The lamp includes a housing containing a working gas sealed within the housing and a primary ultra-violet transparent window through a first longitudinal end of the housing. In a first embodiment the lamp includes an arched band of elastic getter material band with longitudinally extending diametrically opposed legs wedged within the chamber defined by the housing. In a second embodiment the lamp includes a second ultra-violet transparent window within the housing held into positon against the primary ultra-violet transparent window by an arched metal support band within the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Mocon, Inc.Inventors: Boris Dolgov, Chris Fields

Patent number: 10366136Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for manipulating objects in a framework software application that embeds another software application that does not natively support object manipulation controls of the framework software application. To overcome this difficulty, a user interface of the embedded software application is provided in an embedded window disposed within a framework window. Moreover, the user interface of the framework software application is provided in the framework window. Next, a transparent interface element, configured to detect events generated by the object manipulation controls of the framework software application, is generated, and is positioned over the embedded window.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: WOLTERS KLUWER ELM SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Chris Fields, Vlad Kastovich, Chris Clark, Jeff Loden

Patent number: 7281740Abstract: The present invention may be used for debris collection and vegetation removal. An interior shaft may be slidably disposed in an exterior tubular shaft. The interior shaft may protrude out of a lower end of the exterior tubular shaft and a prong assembly may have a plurality of prongs oriented in a subtending direction may be attached at a lower end of the interior shaft. A tubular housing may be attached at the lower end of the exterior tubular shaft in a position to receive the plurality of prongs when the interior shaft may be pulled upwardly relative to the exterior tubular shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2005Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Inventor: Chris Fields
