Publication number: 20190034301Abstract: Techniques for system recovery using a failover processor are disclosed. A first processor, with a first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a first type; and a second processor, with a second instruction set different from the first instruction set, is configured to execute operations of a second type. A determination is made that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within a particular period of time. Responsive to determining that the second processor has failed to execute at least one operation of the second type within the particular period of time, the first processor is configured to execute both the operations of the first type and the operations of the second type.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2017Publication date: January 31, 2019Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Christopher West, James Baer

Publication number: 20180348726Abstract: Techniques for error handling by a servomechanism are disclosed. The servomechanism determines, based on a first set of values assigned to servomechanism variables, electrical signals for controlling a component during a particular time interval, and applies the electrical signals to move the component. Subsequently, the servomechanism measures values for attributes associated with the component. Based on the measured attribute values, the servomechanism computes a second set of values for the servomechanism variables. Responsive to determining that the measured attribute values are erroneous, the servomechanism refrains from modifying the electrical signals based on the second set of values for the servomechanism variables.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2017Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Christopher West, James Baer, Terry Lane

Publication number: 20180285385Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide virtual configuration systems and methods that overcome some or all of the downfalls of typical approaches by allowing for persistent configuration of an operating system of a host device. A virtual configuration layer may be incorporated into the file system of the host device and executed to modify configuration data stored outside of the file system, without changing the file system. Once the configuration data is modified, it may be used to configure the file system and/or the operating system of the host device when it is loaded by a client device. In some embodiments, the host device may be nonvolatile storage (e.g., a flash drive) embedded into a client device (e.g., a diskless system).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: October 4, 2018Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Christopher West, Kaustubh Deshpande, Terry Schmitt

Publication number: 20140372302Abstract: A merchant server includes a payment gateway and a gateway database. The payment gateway receives payment information from a payment page. The payment gateway adjusts an amount to be paid to produce an adjusted amount to be paid. The payment gateway forwards the adjusted amount to a payment processing entity for payment approval. The database includes end user data accessible by an end user identifier generated by the payment gateway using selected items within the payment information. The amount to be paid is adjusted by the payment gateway based on end user data accessed from the gateway database.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventor: Christopher West

Publication number: 20070101205Abstract: A simple, but intelligent watchdog circuit uses an up/down counter for its delay element. A watchdog event will occur if the counter is allowed to over flow or under flow its boundaries (in either direction). The system objective is to keep the counter within its boundaries by controlling the direction of the count. The count direction is simply a function of the Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the counter. Thus, the system must simply monitor the counters MSB and perform a little intelligent to determine the desired count direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Challis Purrington, Christopher West, Jack Wong, Maya Yarbrough
