Patent number: 10749773Abstract: Embodiments provide optimized deployment of workloads. A first workload to be deployed in at least one data center of a plurality of data centers is received. A first plurality of candidate data centers is selected from the plurality of data centers, and the first workload is deployed to each of the first plurality of candidate data centers. A first performance metric is collected from each respective data center of the first plurality of candidate data centers based on execution of the first workload deployed at the respective data centers, and a first optimal data center from the first plurality of candidate data centers is identified based on the first performance metrics. The first workload is removed from each of the first plurality of candidate data centers, other than the identified first optimal data center.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hugh Edward Hockett, Lin Sun, Aaron James Quirk

Publication number: 20200197081Abstract: A method and system of providing therapy to a patient's uterus is provided, which can include any number of features. The method can include the steps of inserting a uterine device into the uterus and performing a uterine integrity test to determine that the uterus is intact and not perforated. If it is determined that the uterus is not perforated, a patency test can be performed to determine that the uterine device is not clogged or embedded in tissue. If the uterus is intact and the device is not clogged or embedded in tissue, the uterus can be treated with the uterine device, e.g., uterine ablation. Systems for performing these methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Uriel Hiram CHEE, Robert Bilgor PELIKS, Hugh Edward MAGEN, Donnell William GURSKIS, Steven Robert BACICH

Publication number: 20180258474Abstract: Disclosed are methods for polynucleotide sequencing that detect the location of selected nucleobases with greater precision. The methods can be used to determine the location and nature of modified bases in a polynucleotide, that is, non-canonical bases, or to improve accuracy of sequencing of “problem” regions of DNA sequencing such as homopolymers, GC rich areas, etc. The sequencing method exemplified is nanopore sequencing. Nanopore sequencing is used to generate a unique signal at a point in a polynucleotide sequence where an abasic site (AP site, or apurinic or apyrimidinic site) exists. As part of the method, an abasic site is specifically created enzymatically using a DNA glycosylase that recognizes a pre-determined nucleobase species and cleaves the N-glycosidic bond to release only that base, leaving an AP site in its place.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2016Publication date: September 13, 2018Inventors: Miten Jain, Hugh Edward Olsen, Mark A.
