Abstract: A fiber-optic interconnection stabilization apparatus for a measurement system is provided. The apparatus may comprise a main body comprising an enclosure and two openings. The enclosure may encase a fiber-optic cable within the main body in an organized manner. The two openings may fit connecting ends of the fiber-optic cable such that the connecting ends of may be exposed in order to connect two modular components of a measurement system and form a closed measurement loop. The main body, when in a closed configuration, may stabilizes the fiber-optic cable encased within from external conditions, such as mechanical, thermal, or other environmental conditions that may affect measurements.

Abstract: A liquid-overflow device includes a generally horizontal platform for catching overflow liquid from a small appliance, such as a coffee maker, and a container beneath the platform that receives the liquid flowing through aperture(s) in the platform. The platform may be topographically structured to direct liquid to the apertures, and/or may be larger than the footprint of the appliance in order to extend outward beyond the appliance footprint in all horizontal directions. The container contains more than the liquid capacity of the appliance. The device is preferably removable from beneath the appliance for carrying to an appropriate place to empty the contents, preferably by tipping the device to drain the liquid out through corner/outer perimeter apertures. The device may be separate from and not connected to the appliance, may be connected but removable from the appliance, or may be integrally connected to the appliance.

Abstract: The liquid-overflow platform and container device includes a generally horizontal platform for catching overflow liquid from a small appliance, such as a coffee maker, and a container attached beneath the platform that receives the liquid flowing through apertures in the platform. The apertures are less than 10% of the platform area. The platform may be topographically structured to encourage liquid to drain into the apertures, and is larger than the footprint of the appliance. The container is sized to contain more than the liquid capacity of the small appliance. The device is removable from beneath the appliance for carrying to an appropriate place to empty the contents, preferably by tipping the device to drain the liquid through platform corner apertures. The device may be separate from, and not connected to, the appliance, or may be sold as a connected but removable portion of the appliance.

Abstract: Data is collected relating to the availability of a computing resource such as data identifying a start event that indicates that the computing resource became available for use and data identifying a stop event that indicates that the computing resource became unavailable for use. The data relating to the availability of the computing resource is processed to determine the outage time for the computing resource during a period of time, such as a 24-hour period. The outage time is then utilized to calculate the level of availability for the computing resource during the period of time.
