Abstract: Monitoring an availability of a dynamically scalable web application having a plurality of microservices deployed on groups of servers each fronted by a load balancer. Examples include retrieving access log data entries from each load balancer, with the access log of each load balancer including a data entry for each HTTP Request received by the load balancer for the web application, each data entry including a Timestamp, an HTTP URL, and an HTTP Method of the HTTP Request, and a status code of a corresponding HTTP response, and with each microservice having a corresponding HTTP URL/HTTP Method pair. An availability of each microservice is determined based on the status codes of HTTP responses corresponding to data entries having HTTP URL/HTTP Method pairs corresponding to the microservice.

Abstract: Provided are technical solutions for preparing and using a cache of social media post data. In an example, a database of social media posts is queried for matching posts and respective metadata for each matching post. Index item data describing one or more respective attributes of each matching post is gathered. For each of the matching posts, the respective index item data is combined with the respective metadata to form combined data. The matching posts and the combined data for each matching post are stored in the cache of social media post data. The cache can be indexed. The cache index can be subsequently queried to provide, for further analysis, social media data which matches specific attributes.

Abstract: Vapors in the fuel tank of a vehicle are collected in a carbon canister. An ejector or aspirator is used to purge the carbon canister in a pressure-charged engine in which a positive pressure exists in the intake. A compact ejector includes a substantially planar flange and a venturi tube coupled to the flange with a central axis of the venturi tube substantially parallel to the flange. By manufacturing the ejector in two pieces, dimensions within the ejector: throat, converging section, and diverging section, is more accurate than prior art manufacturing techniques thereby providing better flow characteristics throughout the boost range.

Abstract: Vapors in the fuel tank of a vehicle are collected in a carbon canister. An ejector or aspirator is used to purge the carbon canister in a pressure-charged engine in which a positive pressure exists in the intake. A compact ejector includes a substantially planar flange and a venturi tube coupled to the flange with a central axis of the venturi tube substantially parallel to the flange. By mounting the ejector on an intake component, having the venturi tube on the inside of the intake component, and having the venturi tube parallel to the flange yields a very compact package and protects the ejector from damage from other engine components.

Abstract: A first sensor node 100 includes a radio for wireless communications; a sensor module 204 to sense a selected parameter; and a scheduler 228 that selects a listen time for the first sensor node, such that, during the listen time, the radio is activated and able to receive wireless signals and, during a time other than the listen time, the radio is deactivated and unable to receive wireless signals, and causes transmission to a second sensor node of a first message. The first message includes a time offset from a transmission time of the first message, the time offset indicating a timing of a first listen time for the first sensor node. The first node 100 receives, from the second sensor node, a responsive second message including a time based on the time offset to transmit the second message.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first sensor node 100 includes a radio to effect wireless communications; a sensor module 204 to sense a selected parameter; and a scheduler 228 that selects a listen time for the first sensor node, such that, during the listen time, the radio is activated and able to receive wireless signals and, during a time other than the listen time, the radio is deactivated and unable to receive wireless signals, and causes transmission to a second sensor node a first message. The first message includes a time offset from a transmission time of the first message, the time offset indicating a timing of a first listen time for the first sensor node. In response, the node 100 receives, from the second sensor node, a second message, with the time selected by the second sensor node to transmit the second message to the first sensor node being based on the time offset.

Abstract: A golf bag includes a base adapted to receive a ground-rolling device. The ground-rolling device is configured to be detachably connectable with the base. The ground-rolling device includes an axle provided with wheels located substantially at each end of the axle. When the ground-rolling device is connected to the base, the wheels project laterally from either side of the base.
