  • Patent number: 11456927
    Abstract: An embodiment may involve receiving a request to install or upgrade a performance analytics dashboard of a graphical user interface displayed on a client device. The performance analytics dashboard may define a data visualization related to a particular key performance indicator. A data model may represent configuration and operational characteristics of computing devices disposed within a managed network. The configuration and operational characteristics may include key performance indicators. The embodiment may also involve determining that installing or upgrading the performance analytics dashboard requires updating data within the data model. The embodiment may also involve receiving, by way of the graphical user interface, permission to update the data within the data model. The embodiment may also involve updating the data within the data model then installing or upgrading the performance analytics dashboard.

  • Patent number: 10151141
    Abstract: An insect killing door system includes a door that is hingedly positioned in an entry to a building. The door has a window and an electrification unit is positioned to cover the window. Moreover, the electrification unit inhibits insects from passing through the window. The electrification unit is selectively turned on to kill insects that have landed on the electrification unit. In this way the insects are inhibited from entering the building when the door is opened. A control unit is provided and the control unit is in wireless electrical communication with the electrification unit. The control unit selectively turns the electrification unit on and off.

  • Patent number: 7897233
    Abstract: Adhesive antiskid material suitable for use with traction sensitive applications (such as a skateboard deck) is described herein. The adhesive antiskid material includes pieces that are visually distinguishable from each other. An adhesive patch layer of the adhesive antiskid material maintains the pieces in a single sheet for handling and application to the object of interest. The adhesive antiskid material may include a graphics layer and a clear or translucent filler grip piece that is applied over the graphics layer. This option allows stickers, advertisements, company logos, pictures, or any design element to be incorporated into the adhesive antiskid material itself.
