  • Patent number: 12360841
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for averting possible disruptions to at least one software service is described. The method includes querying the data storage to identify a prevalence of errors associated with a particular software component or hardware component; supplementing identified errors with upstream and downstream contextual metadata and generating a profile of a current state of the plurality of software components and hardware components; matching the generated profile with a past profile, the past profile being associated with a desired automated triage action; and performing the automated triage action.

  • Patent number: 9910658
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for distributing updates to portable computing device are disclosed. A number of portable computing devices to receive update data is determined and a first number of invitations to update are transmitted to a subset of the portable computing devices to receive update data during a first event. Data describing network usage during the first event is received and the available network bandwidth is determined Based on the available network bandwidth, the size of the update data and network speed, a second number of invitations to update for transmission during a second event is determined In one embodiment, the available network bandwidth accounts for a threshold bandwidth and the bandwidth being used. This allows dynamic modification of the number of invitations based on available network bandwidth while allowing bandwidth usage to remain below the threshold bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 9626655
    Abstract: A Postal Authority regulated e-Mail messaging application is provided over a public network to a plurality of mailers and addressees using authenticated transaction records. The application transmits at least one e-Mail message through at least one e-Mail account configured for a specific class of service. The application creates transaction records relevant to the specific class of service based upon details of completed transactions. Electronic postmarks are obtained to authenticate transaction records. Authenticated transaction records are sent to the mailer. A unique identifier of an electronic postmark is embedded in the e-Mail message. The e-Mail message incorporating the unique identifier is sent to at least one addressee. Authenticated e-Mail messages and transaction records are created and protected from undetectable modification.

  • Publication number: 20160150878
    Abstract: The present invention provides a divider for industrial shelves having a planar base that lies flat on a shelf with an upwardly extending notch that accommodates the ridge formed on the front of many shelves. The downwardly extending spiral torsion spring is provided to fit over the front reinforcing wall of a shelf allows a snug but repositionable fit of the divider on a shelf. A reinforcing ridge is formed at the edges of the divider wall. Reinforcing ridges are also formed around a number of cutouts formed in the divider wall. The increased thickness of the reinforcing ridges decreases the flex in the divider wall when used to support items on a shelf. A chamfer formed at the base of the divider wall increases stiffness of the wall and inhibit cracking between the base and divider wall.
