  • Patent number: 8175905
    Abstract: The invention relates to a resource allocation method. According to the invention, databases of computer objects are produced solely with properties intrinsic to the physical objects. Data filters are defined in order to sort the different intrinsic properties and to divide same into object classes. Allocation matrices are then used to match the resources with the object classes. During the handling of a process, the allocation method is implemented in order to determine a resource. A database is queried in order to obtain intrinsic information. Subsequently, the intrinsic information passes through a data filter in order to determine a membership class. One or more resources are then determined from the membership class with an allocation matrix. The inventive method is performed with the aid of a computer program. The invention also relates to a processing system which is designed to implement said method.

  • Patent number: 5035520
    Abstract: Self-adjusting ball bearing cage consists of a ring (1), cavities (6) distributed circumferentially and coming out on a face (3) of the ring, spherical housings (4) openings on other face (2) of the ring, and rigid ball holding tabs (7) adjacent to each housing (4) and extending axially from the face of the ring. The tabs (7) of two adjacent housings (4) are connected by an undeformable partition (10) which is axially limited in the direction of face (3) of the ring by the bottom of cavity (6). Each cavity is positioned between two discontinuities of the face (3) formed by elastically deformable pads (13) limited by the bottom of corresponding housing (4).
