Publication number: 20240076929Abstract: A mulling system includes a first joining plate with a first plate member, a second plate member, and a first thermal breaker that extend longitudinally along a mulling axis with the first thermal breaker attaching the first and second plate members. The mulling system includes a second joining plate that includes a third plate member, a fourth plate member, and a second thermal breaker that extend longitudinally along the mulling axis with the second thermal breaker attaching the third and fourth plate members. The second joining plate is configured to attach to the first joining plate to join together first and second fenestration units with the mulling axis extending between the first and second joining plates. The first joining plate substantially matches the second joining plate to define a corresponding rotated and engaged arrangement of the first joining plate and the second joining plate across the mulling axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: JELD-WEN, Inc.Inventors: Philip Steven Perkins, Jacob Peter Nelson, Jerry Dean Jones

Publication number: 20230169426Abstract: Historical transaction loads for transactions of a store are determined. Constraints are obtained for staff of the store over a given period of time in the future. The historical loads are forecasted into projected transaction loads for the given period of time. The constraints are processed to generate a dispatch demand schedule for the staff over the given period of time. The dispatch demand schedule is translated into a staff/worker schedule and provided to a scheduling system of the store.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Kip Oliver Morgan, Jerry Steven Massey, Zachary Taylor Lasater

Patent number: 11444790Abstract: Shared memory communication is facilitated between systems of a computing environment capable of communicating over a network using transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP). The network includes a network path between one system and another system of the computing environment, where the network path passes through one or more routers of the network. The facilitating includes obtaining performance-related data for shared memory communication of the one system with the other system across the network path using a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol. Based on the performance-related data, the facilitating includes dynamically determining whether to use the RDMA protocol for shared memory communication of the one system with the other system across the network path, rather than the TCP/IP protocol.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David Anthony Herr, Randall Todd Kunkel, Jerry Stevens

Associating virtual IP address of virtual server with appropriate operating system in server cluster
Patent number: 11301279Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a computer implemented method includes receiving, by an operating system of a computer server, a request to execute an instance of a computer application. The method further includes deploying a virtual container for the instance of the computer application, the virtual container is allocated a dynamic virtual interne protocol address (DVIPA). The method further includes instantiating an application instance of the computer application in the virtual container. The method further includes, based on a determination that the computer application is a non-native application for the operating system, creating for the virtual container, a virtual network interface card (NIC) that translates network communication between the application instance and a physical NIC of the computer server.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Patrick Gerald Brown, Jerry Stevens -

Publication number: 20200274800Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a computer implemented method includes deploying a first virtual container to host an instance of a first computer application that is non-native to an operating system of a computer server. The method further includes allocating a virtual internet protocol address (VIPA) to the first virtual container. The method further includes creating a first virtual network interface card (NIC) associated with the first virtual container, and creating, by the virtual NIC, an internal route for the first virtual container to communicate with the internal router, the first virtual container being one hop behind a physical NIC of the computer server. The method further includes receiving a request to execute a second computer application that is native to the operating system, and in response, instantiating an instance of the second computer application, and allocating, a second VIPA to the instance of the second computer application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Jerry Stevens, Randall Todd Kunkel, Jeffrey Haggar
