  • Patent number: 11556445
    Abstract: A system including at least one computer and code executable thereby for implementing a mechanism for monitoring performances of applications of an application chain. The system includes an arrangement forming a measuring repository on the one hand for measuring levels of use of resources of applications during periods of degradation of performances of the applications, and by application and by period of the application chain, in a memory storing these levels of use. The arrangement is further operable to: establish a repository of use data by defining and storing in at least one memory, by resource and by application, thresholds of acceptable performance of the level of use of the measuring repository; constitute a categorization module of performance problems as a function of measuring and use repositories; and implement an alert mechanism when the monitoring mechanism detects a performance problem of the applications or when the problem is resolved.

  • Patent number: 10625702
    Abstract: A device to attach to a housing of an airbag is disclosed herein. The device includes a flap connected to an opening of the housing, wherein the flap comprises a rigid structure; and a hinge to connect the flap with the housing. The rigid structure comprises a zone of weakness that ruptures in response to an impact.

  • Patent number: 6428281
    Abstract: A turbine vane with an enhanced profile including a trailing edge is curved inwards towards the suction face in the vicinity of the head, as if it was twisted, which opens the vane and limits leakage currents above the head. The flow is thus improved since the eddies formed by the irregular flows in front of the vane are reduced.
