  • Publication number: 20240362075
    Abstract: An automated system for allocation of resources in a cluster configured to run a search engine is disclosed. At least one master node includes a processing system. The processing system is configured to analyze the cluster based on measurements of different parameters. The results of the analysis can be used to allocate or reallocate the shards, allocate or reconfigure the workload portions assigned to the shards, and allocate or reconfigure the shards selectively to maintain high performance. Periodic analyses can predict future behavior, and reconciliations toward a target allocation can occur regularly to maximize system efficiency and performance.

  • Patent number: 10056214
    Abstract: A heater apparatus is structured for use in a circuit interrupter having a thermal trip and includes a conductive device having a terminal and a heater that are co-formed with one another. The terminal includes a base and a support. The conductive device is formed from an individual metallic plate that is bent to form a number of plate elements. The base includes at least one plate element, and the heater includes at least another plate element, with the base and the heater being co-formed. A compression element is threadably receivable on the terminal and is structured to compressively retain an electrical conductor between the compression element and the base.

  • Patent number: 9024216
    Abstract: An electrical switching apparatus includes a housing having an interior and an opening, separable contacts, and an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts. The operating mechanism includes an operating handle extending from the interior of the housing and through the opening of the housing. A dampening member is disposed on the operating handle. The dampening member is structured to engage the housing at the opening thereof when the operating handle moves to at least one of an “ON” position and a “RESET” or “OFF” position.
