  • ENHANCED SERVER FARM PATCHING SYSTEM FOR ENABLING DEVELOPERS TO OVERRIDE OFF-PEAK PATCHING SCHEDULES
    Publication number: 20190303132
    Abstract: A system to reduce strain on server farm computing resources by over-riding “off-peak” patching schedules in response to performance failures occurring on a server farm. Embodiments disclosed herein determine a patching schedule for causing builds of patches to be sequentially installed on server farms during an off-peak usage time-range. Responsive to a performance failure occurring on the server farm, embodiments disclosed herein identify a particular patch that is designed to resolve the performance failure. Then, the patching schedule is over-ridden to expedite an out-of-sequence installation of whichever build is first to include the particular patch. Because resolution of the performance failure is expedited, the impact of the performance failure on the computing resources of the server farm is reduced as compared to existing server farm patching systems.

  • ENABLING TENANT ADMINISTRATORS TO INITIATE REQUEST DRIVEN PEAK-HOUR BUILDS TO OVERRIDE OFF-PEAK PATCHING SCHEDULES
    Publication number: 20190303127
    Abstract: A system enables initiation of request driven peak-hour builds to override “off-peak” patching schedules for updating server applications. An “off-peak” patching schedule is generated to minimize disruption from installing builds of patches. Notwithstanding the “off-peak” patching schedule, a tenant administrator initiates request driven peak-hour builds when some performance failure occurs during peak business hours. For example, the tenant administrator may generate a service request that includes incident data that is usable to identify and/or develop a particular patch for resolving the performance failure. Based on the service request, the “off-peak” patching schedule is overridden to expedite an out-of-sequence installation of a particular patch. In this way, a tenant administrator that becomes aware that some performance failure is disrupting information workers during a peak usage time-range (e.g.

  • Shelf lock assembly
    Patent number: 10342335
    Abstract: Present embodiments relate to a shelf system for an appliance which has a lock device that may be easily retrofitted to render the shelves locked in position rather than removable and/or adjustable. The lock system inhibits rotation of the shelf in a direction normally required for removal of the shelf and movement thereof. The lock may be formed integrally or may be formed separately of the shelf support or bracket and may be connected to the bracket once the shelf is in a desired position in order to lock the shelf in place.

  • Systems for culture cartography
    Patent number: 10311380
    Abstract: A system provides quantification and mapping of cultural characteristics. An analytic engine collects and organizes cultural attribute information by binary score and by cultural tendency. A cultural score engine coupled to the analytic engine receives cultural attribute information by category and scores the cultural attribute data for each cultural attribute to create scored data. A map engine receives the scored data and maps the cultural attribute data to a graphic output. An assessment engine quantifies areas, organization priorities, or cultural tendencies associated with each graphic output. A comparison engine compares a plurality of graphic outputs in a single comparison graphic output of cultural tendencies.

  • Methods for organizing, qualifying, scoring, mapping and analyzing cultural data
    Patent number: 10290010
    Abstract: A method is provided for quantification and mapping of cultural characteristics. Using an analytic engine, cultural attribute information is collected and organized by assigning binary scores to cultural tendencies. Using a cultural score engine coupled to the analytic engine, cultural attribute data is scored for each cultural attribute category to create scored data. Scored data is mapped to a graphic output using a map engine. Quantification of areas, organization priorities, or cultural tendencies associated with each graphic output is performed with an assessment engine. Comparing multiple cultures or scenarios affecting cultural attributes is executed by a comparison engine that compares multiple cultural graphic outputs in a single comparison graphic output of cultural tendencies.

  • Multidimensional digital platform for building integration and anaylsis
    Patent number: 10147053
    Abstract: A system is provided for qualifying and analyzing data for at least one business intelligence. A platform receives source data. A data management system transforms raw data and stores it. An analytic engine is included. In operation the data management system receives first, second, and third streams of source data. The first stream is client source data, the second stream is public source data and the third stream is acquired by the data management system.

  • Method and apparatus for detecting physical performance
    Patent number: 10107906
    Abstract: A device for sensing a passing athlete. The device has one or more signal sources for irradiating distinct segments of space about the device. One or more sensors are associated with the segments of space, and are arranged to sense a signal reflected off an athlete. The sensor(s) output a sensor signal indicating whether an athlete is present in each segment based on whether a reflected signal is detected from that segment. The segments are angularly positioned about the device so that the sensor(s) signals may be assessed to determine angular progression of the athlete relative to the device.
