  • Techniques for health monitoring and control of application servers
    Patent number: 8627149
    Abstract: Techniques for improving application server performance and availability are provided. In one aspect, a method of monitoring the health of one or more application servers comprises the following steps. One or more health classes are specified, each of the one or more health classes defining one or more health policies for the one or more application servers. At least one of the one or more health policies is monitored. Violations, if any, of the one or more health policies are detected.

  • Restoration of fertility to cytoplasmic male sterile petunia
    Patent number: 7164058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules which restore fertility to cytoplasmic male sterile plants and modify expression of toxic mitochondria proteins by the plant. The present invention also relates to methods of identifying a candidate plant suitable for breeding with a cytoplasmic male sterile plant and methods of identifying a candidate gene restoring fertility in plants by analyzing for the candidate plant and candidate gene, respectively, for the presence of the nucleic acid molecule of the present invention. Also disclosed are methods of producing hybrid plant seed, methods of directing gene expression to plant mitochondria, and method of expressing a gene preferentially in roots of a plant. Promoters and terminators from plant genes which restore fertility to cytoplasmic male sterile plants and modify expression of toxic mitochondria proteins are also disclosed. Finally, methods of producing plants with a cytoplasmic male sterile plant restoration system are disclosed.
