  • Patent number: 9154380
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for rules based fetching of operating platform state. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for rules based fetching of operating platform state can be provided. The method can include loading a rule specifying a rule handler programmed to fetch state information for a designated operating platform and parsing the rule to identify the rule handler and a corresponding code interpreter for the rule requisite to interpreting the rule handler to fetch the state information. The method further can include directing an interpretation of the rule handler by the identified code interpreter for the rule to fetch the state information. Finally, the method can include encapsulating the state information once fetched in an information object.

  • Patent number: 8607252
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated LAMP stack data migration. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated LAMP stack data migration can be provided. The method can include retrieving a profile for a LAMP stack executing in a source operating platform, selecting a LAMP stack for deployment onto a target operating platform and deploying the selected LAMP stack onto the target operating platform. The method further can include translating the retrieved profile for compatibility with the selected LAMP stack, directing a reboot of the target operating platform, and applying the translated profile to the target operating platform.

  • Publication number: 20120152298
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating electricity in a computer rack includes a plurality of thermoelectric generator modules secured in a planar assembly having a first side and a second side, wherein each thermoelectric generator module has a first thermally conductive substrate exposed on the first side of the planar assembly and a second thermally conductive substrate exposed on the second side of the planar assembly, and wherein the plurality of thermoelectric generator modules are operatively coupled in a circuit to supply electrical current. The apparatus further comprises a first duct for directing a first fluid stream across the first side of the planar assembly to supply heat to the first thermally conductive substrate, and a second duct for directing a second fluid stream across the second side of the planar assembly to withdraw heat from the second thermally conductive substrate.

  • Patent number: 7953673
    Abstract: The present invention can increase the odds of choosing the right people for a team by considering their “rate of interest/knowledge” in multiple topics. Given a known contacts network, represented by nodes interconnected by links, several different sub-networks are identified within it, corresponding to different topics or areas of expertise required to a specific project. For each sub-network, there will be nodes with an associated grade, based on that person's knowledge/interest for the topic related to that sub-network. As such, each node/person receives a grade for each topic. Using these grades, a weight of each link between the nodes is calculated. This process is performed for every node for each topic and associated grade. After that, a superposition of all sub-networks is made and a multiple interest network is yielded.
