  • Patent number: 10713279
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed that provide enhanced replication for message services. In one implementation, updates to a replication source are replicated to replication targets. The replication is monitored to identify an individual health of the replication for each of the replication targets. A composite health of the replication is determined based on the individual health of the replication for each of the replication targets. The updates to the replication source are then controlled based on the composite health of the replication.

  • Patent number: 10670611
    Abstract: Methods and computer methods used to assess an individual for the prediction of risk of developing a Cardiovascular (CV) Event over a 1 to 5 year period are provided. The methods employ at least two biomarkers selected from MMP12, angiopoietin-2, complement C7, cardiac troponin I, angiopoietin-related protein 4, CCL18/PARC, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin complex, GDF11 and alpha-2-antiplasmin, or GDF11 in combination with FSTL3. The methods are particularly useful in predicting CV events in patients who suffer from coronary heart disease (CHD).

  • Patent number: 9537816
    Abstract: The disclosed architecture is an application program interface (API) that includes a collection of class members defined in a single class for accessing mailboxes in messaging storage locations in an enterprise organization. Each mailbox in the organization has an identity that primarily encapsulates at least a mailbox server name, a unique mailbox database GUID (globally unique identifier), and a unique mailbox GUID. By encapsulating information associated with a mailbox into one class, database lookups can be optimized and a single source of mailbox information provided for both authentication and display purposes. Other information can also be encapsulated.

  • Publication number: 20150161123
    Abstract: An apparatus to diagnose a live service includes a processor circuit; and a request handler component executing on the processor circuit to service a process request that generates process data. The request handler component may comprise a process object to receive a query comprising: a property to fetch and a condition. The process object may further comprise a condition evaluator to evaluate the condition against an executing process request; and a data requestor to fetch the property from the process data when the condition is true, and to write the property to a log file.

  • Patent number: 9016643
    Abstract: A device for adjustably and removably mounting accessory equipment to tow hooks of a vehicle without alteration to the bumper or surrounding fascia components. The device includes two angle brackets a mounting flange and a clamping plate. Each bracket has holes that align with the other bracket and with the mounting flange which attaches to accessory equipment. The assembly of the brackets and clamping plate surround the tow hook, which the mounting flange attaches to the accessory equipment. One possible piece of accessory equipment is a bumper guard, which can provide protection from debris damaging the vehicle oil cooler. Detachable brush bars provide further protection from brush harming the sides of the moving vehicle.
