  • Patent number: 7761730
    Abstract: A method and system for determining an impact of a failure of a component for one or more services that the component is supporting. A data feed received from a processing node includes data indicative of an identity and system status of a component running on the processing node. The system status of the component identifies whether the component has failed or is active. The one or more services is mapped into a calendar function. After determining that the component supports the one or more services, a lookup in the calendar function is performed to identify a temporal activity and a level of criticality of each service of the one or more services. An impact of the system status of the component on the one or more services is determined from analysis of the identified temporal activity and the identified level of criticality of the one or more services.

  • Patent number: 7509518
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining the impact of a failure of a component on one or more services that the component is supporting. The method receiving a data feed from a processing node, the data feed containing data indicative of the identity and system status of a component running on the processing node; in response to the identity of the component, first determining if the component supports one or more services; identifying the temporal activity of the one or more services and, in dependence on the determining step, second determining the impact of the system status on the one or more services.

  • Patent number: 4908973
    Abstract: A fishing rod holder adapted to generate a signal in response to a pull on the line of a fishing rod. Including a structure for supporting the fishing rod; an arm which is substantially Z-shaped, one end of the arm is attached to a pivot located at one end of the support and the other arm end is hookably engageable with the line of the fishing rod whereby an outward pull from the line will initiate a pivotable displacable from to an off position and on position. Further including, signal device for generating a signal when the arm is in the on position; a switch associated with the arm and signal for activating said signal to generate a signal when said arm is in the on position in response to a pull on the line of the fishing rod, and for deactivating same signal when the arm is in the off position.
