  • Universal Ring and Plate Assembly for Electrical Box
    Publication number: 20190222011
    Abstract: A universal ring and plate assembly is disclosed for use with an electrical or utility box. The universal ring and plate design can achieve any finish wall thickness by stacking plates and securing them to the universal ring, even after the drywall, tile, stone and/or other wall materials have been installed. The universal ring and plate simplifies the current installation process, eliminates the need for the multiple different depth rings, and accommodates all changes to the finished wall thickness by the owner, architect or builder, without having to tear down portions of the finished wall.

  • VEHICLE AND VEHICLE LAUNCH METHOD
    Publication number: 20190210603
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a transmission, friction brakes, and a controller. The transmission has a clutch that is configured to transfer torque from an input of the transmission to a drive wheel. The controller is programmed to, in response to application of the friction brakes resulting in a stationary position of the vehicle, disengage the clutch to establish a neutral condition of the transmission. The controller is also programmed to, in response to a command to launch the vehicle while the transmission is in the neutral condition, engage the clutch. The controller is further programmed to, in response to an estimated wheel torque exceeding a rollback threshold during the clutch engagement, release the friction brakes. The wheel torque is based on an estimated clutch torque which is based on a clutch pressure and a transmission input torque.

  • Dynamic network component placement
    Patent number: 10148527
    Abstract: A network component placement architecture addresses the difficult technical challenge of determining where specific technical components of an overall service may be provisioned. However, the placement decision can change over time in response to complex updates relating to service providers, the regions they support, the assets they support, and many other dynamic factors. Dynamic network component placement effectively determines updated possibilities for placing the technical components of a specified service, while meeting all of the applicable technical constraints on the placement of the technical components.

  • I/O blender countermeasures
    Patent number: 10089228
    Abstract: A cache storage method includes providing a storage cache cluster, comprising a plurality of cache storage elements, for caching I/O operations from a plurality of virtual machines associated with a corresponding plurality of virtual hard disks mapped to a logical storage area network volume or LUN. Responsive to a cache flush signal, flush write back operations are performed to flush modified cache blocks to achieve or preserve coherency. The flush write back operations may include accessing current time data indicative of a current time, determining a current time window in accordance with the current time, determining a duration of the current time window, and identifying a current cache storage element corresponding to the current time window. For a duration of the current time window, only those write back blocks stored in the current cache storage element are flushed.

  • Type-to-type analysis for cloud computing technical components with translation through a reference type
    Patent number: 10033598
    Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider, including translation through a reference type.
