  • Patent number: 12271287
    Abstract: Techniques for selecting a runbook to recommend for remediating a detected event are disclosed. When a system detects an event, the system obtains metadata associated with the event. The metadata provides information about the event and a system topology of the system in which the event occurred. The system generates a recommendation for a runbook to remediate the event based on one or both of characteristics of the event and characteristics of the topology in which the event occurred. The system compares a system topology to system topologies associated with previously-executed runbooks. The system recommends one of the previously-executed runbooks to remediate a detected event based on determining that the topology associated with the previously-executed runbook is similar to the topology of the system in which the event occurred.

  • Patent number: 12122902
    Abstract: The use of a block copolymer of the following structure. Wherein R and R1 may be the same or different and each independently represents an alkyl or aryl group, X may be hydrogen or C1 to C20 alkyl group which may be branched or linear and wherein the aromatic ring substituent joined to polymer B is positioned meta or para to the aromatic ring substituent joined to polymer A and, wherein polymer A is a polymer (or copolymer) of ethylene and polymer B is a polymer of monomers selected from vinyl acetate, C1-C9 acrylate esters, acrylic acid and mixtures thereof as an additive in polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate to improve the adhesion between co-extruded layers of the polyethylene and the polyethylene terephthalate and laminated films derived from such use.

  • Publication number: 20230255389
    Abstract: A liquid heating appliance including a reservoir including a first and second chambers and a heating arrangement is provided. A mode valve is arranged to selectively allow liquid to flow between the first and second chambers. The appliance operates in a first mode in which the mode valve is closed and only liquid in the first chamber is heated and a second mode in which the mode valve is open and liquid in the first and second chambers is heated. A dispense outlet is moveable between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispense outlet is mechanically coupled to the mode valve such that when the dispense outlet is moved into the dispense position, the mechanical coupling closes the mode valve and when the dispense outlet is moved into the non-dispensing position, the mechanical coupling opens the valve.
