Abstract: A temperature-regulating mattress system provides dynamic adjustment of temperature and other parameters throughout a user's sleep cycle to maximize the quality of the user's sleep, Features of the system may include: (a) heating and cooling temperature regulation (with dynamic custom profiles that control humidity and are dual-zone); (b) smart controls (with remotes and apps that learn from users to optimize settings and work with smart home products such as Alexa and interactive lighting systems); (c) comfort (with a mattress that provide the necessary support for its users); and (d) sensors used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data, etc.).

Abstract: An interactive lighting system includes a group of one or more portable lamps designed to respond to user's spatial manipulation of a lamp to control the system. The lamps can be wirelessly linked to operate in unison, and each lamp could also include an ambient light sensor, which helps the system to optimize illumination characteristics and profile.

Abstract: The Christmas tree disposal bag is configured for use with a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree disposal bag is configured for use as a tree skirt and as a containment structure. The Christmas tree disposal bag is disposable such that the Christmas tree disposal bag contains the Christmas tree and unwanted decorative items in a segregated fashion during disposal. The Christmas tree disposal bag comprises the containment structure, a plurality of compartments and a zipper. The containment structure is a hollow sheeting structure. The Christmas tree is stored within the hollow interior of the containment structure. The plurality of compartments comprises a plurality of pouches used to store decorative items intended for transport and storage with the Christmas tree. The zipper is a fastener that is intended to control access into the hollow interior of the containment structure.

Abstract: A system and method for assisting users of electrical extensions cords to detangle the cords as quickly and efficiently as possible. The improved extension cords features markings on regions of the cord to assist the user in locating the part or section of the cord associated with a single end.

Abstract: A method for removing a fluid influx from a subsea wellbore drilled using a pump to return fluid from the wellbore to the surface. The method includes detecting the influx when a rate of the return pump increases. Flow from the wellbore is diverted from the return pump to a choke line when the influx reaches the wellhead. A choke in the choke line is operated so that a substantially constant bottom hold pressure is maintained while drilling fluid continues to be pumped through the drill sgring. Fluid flow from the wellbore is redirected to the return pump inlet when the influx has substantially left the well.

Abstract: A method for removing a fluid influx from a subsea wellbore drilled using a pump to return fluid from the wellbore to the surface. The method includes detecting the influx when a rate of the return pump increases. Flow from the wellbore is diverted from the return pump to a choke line when the influx reaches the wellhead. A choke in the choke line is operated so that a rate of fluid pumped into the wellbore is substantially equal to a flow rate through the choke line. Fluid flow from the wellbore is redirected to the return pump inlet when the influx has substantially left the well.

Abstract: An approach is provided for heuristic-based cluster management. A cluster management framework receives a request for specifying at least one management process on at least one cluster of one or more servers. The cluster management framework determines one or more heuristics associated with the at least one management process, the at least one cluster, the one or more servers, or a combination thereof. The cluster management framework then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more heuristics to cause, at least in part, a generation of a plan for implementing the at least one management process.

Abstract: An approach is provided for rebalancing data. A backup of at least one database associated with a server is determined. A restoration of the backup to at least one other server is determined to be caused. Routing information to route queries for information stored in the at least one database is determined to be modified to the at least one other server as part of a rebalancing process.
