Patent number: 9645629Abstract: Energy consumption analytics of a cloud based service is provided. An application such as a power analytics application monitors power consumption data of a server of the cloud based service. The power consumption data of the server is captured in a data file, a data store, a temporary storage, etc. The power consumption data is analyzed to detect power consumption metrics for the server. The power consumption metrics are presented in a business intelligence data structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Kent Mitchell, Dan Strader, Carroll Moon, Hollie McCurdy, Lou Nikodym

Patent number: 9264324Abstract: An application provides server performance decision support to end-users. The application monitors the transaction data of servers. The transaction data includes network communications as well as server specific information such as resource utilization. The application captures a sample of the transaction data. The captured sample can be random or predetermined. The sample is limited in length according to a preset time value. The application analyzes the sample to determine performance metrics for the server. The application presents the performance metrics within a business intelligence data structure to enable an end-user to data mine the performance metrics according to additional variables.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Kent Mitchell, Jason Heintz, Hollie McCurdy, Carroll Moon, Mark Miller, Brian Feck, Lou Nikodym

Publication number: 20150302620Abstract: Printed material, systems, media, and methods for displaying personality assessment results using a modified SDIĀ® Triangle which comprises three sides of equal length, three vertices, three axis lines, seven demarcated MVS regions representing seven well states into which a person is classifiable and covering an entire area of the triangle, and thirteen CS regions representing thirteen conflict states into which a person is classifiable and also covering the entire area of the triangle so as to overlap with the MVS regions. The MVS regions may comprise a hexagon-shaped MVS Hub region in a center of the triangle and six MVS regions surrounding the MVS Hub region. Similarly, the CS regions may comprise a hexagon-shaped CS Hub region in the center of the triangle and twelve CS regions surrounding the hexagon-shaped CS Hub region.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2014Publication date: October 22, 2015Applicant: Personal Strengths Publishing, Inc.Inventors: Timothy J. Scudder, Kent Mitchell

Patent number: 8972578Abstract: An application provides cloud computing master data management. The application determines a rank associated with received server information from a server. The source rank is adjusted according to evaluation of server information against naming convention standards. The source rank is used in determining a category matching the server information. An assigned category includes instructions to configure assets of a server. The application assembles configuration information from the assigned category and provides the configuration information to the server.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kent Mitchell, Jason Heintz, Hollie McCurdy, Carroll Moon, Mark Miller, Brian Feck, Lou Nikodym, Vadi Ramalingam

Publication number: 20080103271Abstract: A method for producing polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) polymer, including polymerizing reactants in a reaction mixture in a vessel to form PPS polymer in the vessel, measuring values of operating variables of the vessel and/or PPS process, and determining the amount of quench fluid to add to the vessel based on the values of the operating variables. The technique may rely on the vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) of the mixture to calculate the concentration of water existing in the reactor prior to quench, and accounts for the effectiveness of the upstream dehydration process and in the amount of water produced during the polymerization. The technique is a striking improvement over the trial-and-error estimation of the amount of quench water based on human operating experience, and avoids direct measurements of the existing water concentration in the reactor. The result is improved control of PPS particle size and other properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2007Publication date: May 1, 2008Applicant: CHEVRON PHILLIPS CHEMICAL COMPANY, LPInventor: Kent Mitchell
