Publication number: 20250130905Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to a computer system. The system includes a network device, a storage device and at least two compute nodes, wherein one compute node is designated an active node and the other compute node is designated a standby node. Each compute node may include a dedicated memory with an isolated utility executive, an operating system memory, and a firmware reserved memory and the active node operating system memory further includes an availability driver, wherein the availability driver of the active node disables or suspends all processes that alter operating system memory and transfers all operation system memory of the active node to the operating system memory of the standby node, the isolated utility executive of the active node executes a code to generate an active validation array set of all operating system memory, the active validation array is then transferred to the standby node.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES IRELAND LTD.Inventor: John MacLeod

Patent number: 8185297Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for providing personalized traffic reports. A personalized traffic report is a relatively short, audio-visual presentation that includes an audio narrative by an announcer describing the traffic conditions along a user's selected route, synchronized with a video presentation that includes maps with animations showing the traffic conditions and a visual representation of the announcer. A traffic data services provider determines traffic conditions that pertain to a user's identified particular route, i.e. from an origin to a destination. Then, the traffic data services provider forms an audio-video file that includes an audio narrative in the voice of an announcer that describes the traffic conditions along the user's route, along with a visual map representation of the user's route, a graphical indication of the traffic conditions along the route, and a visual representation of the announcer.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Navteq NA LLCInventor: John MacLeod
