  • Patent number: 10387821
    Abstract: One or more implementations relate generally to a platform architecture planning process utilizing architecture type unit definitions. For example, an architecture for realizing a customer system on a cloud computing platform may be defined in terms of a plurality of architecture types, each type (AT) defined by plural architecture type units (ATUs), and each ATU comprising a set of ATU Details.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10372421
    Abstract: In an example, a method for developing a customer system utilizing a preexisting cloud-computing platform is provided. The method may include defining a platform architecture for the customer system to be developed in terms of a plurality of architecture types—and their predefined architecture type unit. The method may include displaying an indicator of first and second indicators, the first and second indicators corresponding to confirmation of the platform architecture and non-confirmation of the platform architecture, respectively, based on information about a subset of deliverables corresponding to the architecture types.

  • Patent number: 10049337
    Abstract: An architecture for realizing a customer system on a cloud computing platform is defined in terms of a plurality of architecture types, each type (AT) defined by plural architecture type units (ATUs), each ATU comprising a set of ATU Details. The ATU Details are ordered into a series of discrete stages. Maturity of the architecture is determined as a single architecture pulse (AP) numeric value for each architecture type. The pulse reflects the extent to which the ATUs of the architecture type have reached a requisite level of quality, and an extent to which the ATUs are created in a sequence consistent with the series of discrete stages. The AP pulse values may be combined to form a single success platform pulse (SPP) for tracking overall condition of the platform architecture with a single numerical value.

The method may include defining a platform architecture for the customer system to be developed in terms of a plurality of architecture types—and their predefined architecture type units. The method may include generating structured information arranged to evaluate a staggered resource deployment associated with planning resources to be allocated before a development cycle of the customer system. The method may include evaluating a first prospective planning resource deployment of the staggered resource deployment using scope screen information of the generated structured information, and evaluating a second prospective planning resource deployment using capability information, after a time of deployment of a planning resource corresponding to the first prospective planning resource deployment.

  • Patent number: 9314144
    Abstract: A spray arm assembly for a dishwasher, comprising a spray arm (12; 74) comprising a plurality of spraying nozzles (40, 42, 60; 76), and support means (16; 56; 78) comprising a mounting element (18; 50; 80) for mounting the support means within the dishwasher and a support member (20; 54; 82) on which the spray arm (12; 74) rests during periods of non-use. The spray arm assembly is characterized in that it further comprises —first supplemental outlet means (24, 48, 58; 92) to direct, during periods of use, liquid to between the support member (20; 54; 82) and the spray arm (12; 74) so as to form a liquid layer between the support member and the spray arm, on which liquid layer the spray arm floats during rotation, and —second supplemental outlet means (28; 86) to direct, during periods of use, liquid to between the spray arm (12, 74) and a guiding surface (34) provided at the support means, so as to stabilize rotation of the spray arm.
