Publication number: 20250110818Abstract: A cluster health reporting engine may be a software tool which generates compiled health data reported by data collection hosts, being health data of computing resources of backend computing clusters whose failure during the ordinary course of data query and processing functions may impede the normal functioning of those data query and processing functions. Such techniques may generate compiled health data reported by a data collection host for a particular host of a computing cluster, enabling administrative personnel to quickly narrow specificity of health data reported. Such techniques may aggregate health data reported by a data collection host over a dimension of hosted services, and may configure a reporting sub-system to visualize this aggregated health data, enabling administrative personnel to quickly view storage capacity consumed by various hosted services and identify hosted services or sub-services generating adverse health data by visual highlighting.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: Marcus Laster, Robert Whitney, Logan Ritter, James Risoli

Publication number: 20130086040Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for clinical data analysis. Certain examples provide a clinical data analysis system including a user interface, a task manager, and a process manager. The example user interface is to facilitate user input and provide output to the user regarding a data query and analysis. The example task manager is to create and manage one or more analyzers to identify at least one of a trend and a correlation in query results. The example process manager is to facilitate querying of one or more data sources according to the data query and a flexible data model, the process manager to allocate tasks to the one or more analyzers for the data query and analysis. The example process manager and task manager are to facilitate user queries and automated system queries performed automatically during periods of non-peak usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Arpita Patadia, Robert Whitney, York W. Davis, Rajakumari Pavuluri, Muhammad Azhar

Publication number: 20100064252Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for expanding and collapsing data entry regions based on user input. An expander includes one or more items each having a header portion and a body portion. The header portion includes an identifier or label and can display additional information and/or control such as a set of physiologic normals. The body portion includes one or more options. A processor processes user input to update display of the expander. Contents of the expander are expanded or collapsed based on the user input. In an expanded state, the header portion and all options of the body portion for each of the one or more items are visible in the expander. In an collapsed state, the header portion and only options of the body portion selected by the user for each of the one or more items are visible in the expander.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2008Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Richard Kramer, Robert Whitney, Nicole Cragun

Patent number: 7237663Abstract: A torque fuse device having a bi-directional release mechanism that releases the torque carrying capability of the shafts upon torque overload is provided. The torque fuse device includes a sleeve, a hub positioned within the sleeve, and a hydraulic torque coupler. The sleeve and the hub are adapted to be coupled with two axially aligned shafts. The hub includes a feedback ring having at least one tooth formed therein. The hydraulic torque coupler includes a piston, a cylinder and a collet. The piston is positioned between the collet and the feedback ring and slides along an inclined surface of collet. One ore more fuse pins are selectively positioned between the tooth, the piston and the cylinder to frictionally engage the sleeve to the hub. Upon a torque overload condition, the pins release from the teeth thereby releasing the torque carrying capability of the shafts.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Riverhawk CompanyInventor: Robert Whitney

Publication number: 20070088724Abstract: By modeling real-world application objects with complex structures, behaviors, and operations described by a schema which is enforced by the hardware/software interface system, various embodiments of the present invention provide rich sub-typing functionality by extending Items (and Item types) using “Extensions” which provide additional data structures (Properties, Relationships, etc.) to already existing Items type structures. Extensions are strongly typed instances that cannot exist independently and must be attached to an Item or a Nested Element. Extensions are also intended to address “multi-typing” issues by enabling the overlap of type instances (e.g., a Document may be a “legal document” as well a “secure document”).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2006Publication date: April 19, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bekim Demiroski, Robert Whitney, J. Thompson, Anil Nori
