  • Patent number: 10374919
    Abstract: A resource manager may monitor resources offered by a resource provider. The resource manager receives computing metrics from the resources and may perform a management action when a customer defined usage limit is satisfied. The management action may include the resource manager generating an alert, or the resource manager preventing the customer from further accessing the resources offered by the resource provider. The resource manager may also be used to reduce the cost of running a customer's application that uses resources offered by the service provider. The resource manager may also receive business metrics from the customer and determine rates of return using the business metrics and the computing metrics.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7749388
    Abstract: This relates to filter columns for isolating nucleic acids, particularly at small elution volumes. The filter column is adapted for stable placement within the upper portion of standard plastic collection tubes of various sizes. The body of the filter column has a number of surfaces to accommodate placement within variously sized collection tubes. The filter column contains nucleic acid-specific filter which can be located at alternate regions within the filter column, providing different filter surface areas and loading volume capacities using the same column body. The filter column has an opening on an upper end adapted to be sealed by a cap. A method for recovering nucleic acids using such filter column is also provided.
