Publication number: 20230168895Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for automated runtime configuration for dataflows to automatically select or adapt a runtime environment or resources to a dataflow plan prior to execution. Metadata generated for dataflows indicates dataflow information, such as numbers and types of sources, sinks and operations, and the amount of data being consumed, processed and written. Weighted dataflow plans are created from unweighted dataflow plans based on metadata. Weights that indicate operation complexity or resource consumption are generated for data operations. A runtime environment or resources to execute a dataflow plan is/are selected based on the weighted dataflow and/or a maximum flow. Preferences may be provided to influence weighting and runtime selections.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Abhishek Uday Kumar Shah, Anudeep Sharma, Mark A. Kromer, Jikai Ma

Patent number: 8973722Abstract: An improved self-adjusting automatic slack adjuster for reducing slack in the brake of a vehicle is provided, in which an easily accessible external operating feature permits the automatic slack adjuster's one-way clutch assembly to be readily disengaged to allow smooth release and retraction of the brake shoes of a vehicle brake without damage to the one-way teeth of the clutch assembly. When the external feature is operated in a brake release direction, the motion of the feature is translated into a motion which axially displaces an output part of the one-way clutch away from an input part of the clutch a distance sufficient to disengage the parts' one-way teeth, thereby disengaging the one-way clutch to permit brake shoe retraction without resistance from the one-way clutch.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLCInventors: Mark Kromer, John Louis, Zoltan Tormasi

Publication number: 20060230309Abstract: This invention relates generally to network management in large telecommunications networks. A system and method capable of providing signal consolidation, replication, and correlation at a fault processor in order to allow signal information to remain visible at the fault processor even when communications between the fault processor and subordinate processors to which the signals are arriving have been lost or subordinate processors are offline.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2006Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventors: Mark Kromer, John Wood

Patent number: 7120633Abstract: A method and system provides for the automated handling of alarms from a fault management system for a telecommunications network without the need for the intervention of an operator. When the fault management system identifies service outages or other network performance problems, an alarm is generated, and an established set of rules is applied to evaluate the alarm based on certain attributes of the alarm. From this application of the rules, an action is identified and initiated, which could involve any of a number of tasks or activities, including, for example, transmission of instructions directly to a network device, electronic notifications directly to a technician or other maintenance personnel, and/or generation of a trouble ticket.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Cingular Wireless II, LLCInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 5876609Abstract: The instant invention relates to a novel process for the hydrolysis of the by-products produced during the manufacture of methyldichlorosilanes comprising combining the by-products with an aqueous medium, optionally comprising a surfactant, at a pH range of at least about 7 and at a temperature of above about 0.degree. C. to produce a solid material in which copper and other metals are retained in a solid phase thereby resulting in a product with a high copper content.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1997Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Michael Lee White, Sunita Singh Baghel, Luisito Alvarez Tolentino, Mark Kromer Barr, David Cheney DeMoulpied, William Lee Gately, Jan-Willem Goedmakers, Jeffrey David Hallen, Edward Francis Kennedy, Bang Mo Kim, Ray Walton Shade, Matthew David Butts
