  • Publication number: 20150199757
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a payment verification application executable in a computing environment having a hardware processor configured to obtain payment history data for a user of a client device over a network. The payment history data may comprise information associated with a plurality of payments made by the user to an entity. Further, the payment verification application verifies the payments to ensure that each of the plurality of payments satisfied an obligation owed to the entity by the user and generates a reporting document comprising at least the plurality of payments verified. The reporting document is electronically transmitted over a network to a receiving computing device via a web service.

  • Publication number: 20070208849
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing continuously updated completion time and an average completion time information for I/O commands on a per-LU, per-target, per-port basis. This measurement is performed by a kernel device driver that handles the I/O for the system at lower layers, so the measurements are more accurate because the delays due to higher level processing are not included. This approach allows the driver to track movements in the average I/O command completion time per LU and limit outstanding I/O counts early enough to potentially prevent overload conditions. By catching the overload early, the invention also has the ability to restore the original outstanding I/O count as the overload condition subsides.

  • Patent number: 6793182
    Abstract: A readily attachable window assembly for efficient installation and maintenance of aircraft windows is provided. The aircraft has a sidewall having an inner perimeter that defines an opening. The window assembly includes an outer window frame. A center window frame is attached to the outer window frame, and an inner window frame is attached to the center window frame. The inner window frame is readily attachable to the sidewall adjacent to the opening of the inner perimeter. The inner window frame includes a releasable coupling mechanism that includes first and second engaging mechanisms that positionally lock the first mechanism to the second mechanism via a torsion spring assembly and engageable teeth of each mechanism. The first engaging mechanism is locked onto the sidewall when torque is applied through at least one pinhole. The window assembly is disengaged by disengaging the first and second engaging mechanisms via a disengagement tab.
