  • Publication number: 20160314010
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes receiving, from a virtual machine, a request to create a proxy agent configured to monitor an application executing on the virtual machine, wherein the proxy agent is associated with the virtual machine and wherein the virtual machine is unable to host the proxy agent. The method also includes creating the proxy agent based on the request to create the proxy agent. The method further includes receiving monitoring data for the application executing on the virtual machine via the proxy agent.

  • Patent number: 9267386
    Abstract: A fairing assembly includes an outer wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a saddle. The first side wall and the second side wall extend from opposing sides of the outer wall. Together the first side wall, the second side wall, and the outer wall form a cavity within the fairing assembly. The saddle is positioned within the cavity and extends between the first side wall and the second side wall. The saddle has a first rib adapted to connect to the first side wall and a second rib adapted to connect to the second side wall. The first rib and the second rib connect together at a central hub.

  • Publication number: 20150275757
    Abstract: A disclosed gas turbine engine includes a fan including a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an engine axis and core engine disposed within a core nacelle for driving the fan. A bypass passage is defined between the core nacelle and an outer or fan nacelle. A duct mounted within the core nacelle defines a bleed air flow path for directing bleed air from the core engine into the bypass passage. The bleed air duct includes a plurality of airfoils disposed at a defined chord angle for directing bleed airflow into the bypass passage to minimize disruption to bypass airflow.
