Abstract: An audit tool (AT) operates in cooperation with an audit tool manager (ATM), a policy file (PF) and a query file (QF) in order to provide a real time display of usage within an on-demand service system. The ATM identifies the data to be gathered. Using the ATM, the user identifies comparison points, maps the comparison points to audit controls, defines policies and develops SQL queries to report transactions and record quantities. The AT gathers data, displays the gathered data, and compares the data points, and alerts the user to a discrepancy. The AT displays the compared data points side by side so that real time visual verification can be made, and the AT also alerts the user to discrepancies.

Abstract: A protective canopy constructed to discharge snow from the cover. A plurality of posts support cables on which a flexible cover is supported. A sleeve formed on the eave edge of the cover is provided with a pipe at each seam between adjacent panels of the cover. Elongated rods extend in the sleeve between the pipes. The rods normally provide a straight horizontal eave. If snow builds up unduly on the cover, the rods can bow downwardly so that chutes are formed to allow the snow to slide off. Clamp brackets are fitted around the pipes and pulled to pull the cover taut before being clamped to the cables to secure the cover in a taut condition.

Abstract: A drive under new automotive hail protection roof hip-and-valley cable-tension type canopy is formed by a rectangular grid pattern of rigid post assemblies joined at their upper ends by longitudinally, transversely and diagonally extending cables forming a coextensive fabric roof support.

Abstract: A computer system having plural nodes interconnected by a common broadcast bus. Each node has memory and at least one node has a processor. The system has a dynamically configurable memory which may be located within the system address space of a distributed system architecture including memory within each node having a processor and the memory resident within other nodes. The memory in the system address space is addressable by system physical addresses which are isolated from the physical addresses for memory in each node. The node physical addresses are translatable to and from the system physical addresses by partition maps located in partition tables at each node. Memory located anywhere in the distributed system architecture may be partitioned dynamically and accessed on a local basis by programming the partition tables, stored in partitioning RAMs.

Abstract: An improved system bus structure for versatile use in various digital computer architecture configurations, particularly those of mini-supercomputers, and, designed to support high speed, high reliability, parallel processing of bi-directional signal transfers in a multi-port and multiple central processor unit (CPU) communication environment as between system bus units or devices. The system bus structure may be sized for a compact encasement and may carry as many as 129 simultaneous signals to and from various units connected to it. The system bus structure includes enabling structure for a centralized arbitration system, a centralized clock and synchronized transfer system, a centralized transfer monitor, a centralized parity error assessor and signalling system including transfer termination, and, a memory/inter-system inhibit system.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for producing and the resulting nonwoven fabric adaptable for use as blankets and the like is characterized by increased production speed resulting in a more economical fabric, as follows. A bottom layer of at least one carded web is deposited with the fibers thereof oriented in the lengthwise direction on a moving conveyor driven at the same speed of travel as the carded web is produced. A reinforcing middle layer is preferably formed of a plurality of yarns cross-lapped onto the bottom layer for orienting the yarns in generally the widthwise direction. A top layer of at least one carded web is deposited onto the middle layer with the fibers thereof oriented in the lengthwise direction.
