Patent number: 11125607Abstract: A fixture includes a crossbar to which a plurality of brackets are attached. Accessories such as wire hooks, shelves, bins, and so forth may be supported by one or more brackets. Each of the brackets may comprise an accessory support piece and at least one load cell arm which in turn is attached to the crossbar. A load cell sensor affixed to the load cell arm generates a signal that is indicative of weight changes to the bracket as items are added or removed from the accessory. The accessory support piece may include features such as tabs that prevent accessories from moving laterally. The accessory support piece may accommodate accessories of different sizes that in turn may support items of different sizes.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory Kim Justice, Dan Beltzer, Zihui Zhang, Nicholas Franklin

Patent number: 10924364Abstract: A monitoring system using agents to dynamically collect state information at controllable intensity levels from components of systems. The system receives state information collected by an agent at a particular intensity level, and processes the state information to determine an updated intensity level for collecting state information by the agent, or by some other agent. The state information may include data indicating the performance of one or more components, such as process response times or other metrics. The intensity level for collecting further state information can be increased when, among other things, previously collected state information indicates more detailed monitoring for the component is appropriate. The intensity level for collecting further state information can be decreased when, among other things, previously collected state information indicates continued expected behavior.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: New Relic, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas A. Floyd, Gregory A. Kim
