Publication number: 20240061674Abstract: Application transition and transformation is provided by observing and analyzing execution of a monolithic application to provide properties of the data communication of the monolithic application, identifying, by an artificial intelligence engine, atomic application element(s) having logical functional block(s) that function independent of other atomic application element, determining, by the artificial intelligence engine, candidate atomic application element(s) for migrating out of the monolithic application and refactoring, based on automated testing and validation, refactoring at least one candidate atomic application element into a respective at least one refactored element, where the refactoring selects a platform technology for the refactored element and implements functionality of the candidate atomic application element as the refactored element of the selected platform technology, and providing the at least one refactored element to system(s) for execution thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Clea ZOLOTOW, Susheel GOOLY, Rudolph C. BARON, JR., Kim Poh WONG, Marci D. FORMATO, Tedrick N. Northway

Patent number: 11102296Abstract: Methods and systems for datacenter migrations are disclosed. A method includes: virtualizing, by a computing device, servers in a source environment; installing, by the computing device, an isolation firewall to isolate a target environment from the source environment; installing, by the computing device, shared services in the target environment; installing, by the computing device, monitoring and management tools in the virtualized servers in the source environment; replicating, by the computing device, between the source environment and the target environment; and cutting over, by the computing device, from the source environment to the target environment by switching a route advertisement from the source datacenter to the target datacenter.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John Delaney, Clea Zolotow, Anthony M. Hunt, Laxmikantha S. Nanduru, Rudolph C. Baron, Florian Graf, Dennis M. Carden, Vladimir V. Danilevich

Patent number: 9855820Abstract: A vehicle occupant safety method involves receiving data from multiple sensors including at least one carbon monoxide (CO) sensor and GPS sensor; wherein, when a specified danger condition relating to CO level alone, or in combination with vehicle interior temperature, exists, and based upon the sensor data, causing the vehicle component controls to modify operation of at least one vehicle component; d) determining i) based upon further sensor data, that the specified danger condition either: A) is persisting, or B) has exceeded at least one specified severity threshold; and ii) using GPS location information from the GPS sensor, whether or not the vehicle is in an unsafe location, whether the vehicle is occupied, and where any occupants are located; continuing to make determinations regarding the specified danger condition; and, based upon a result of the determinations in taking further control actions until the specified danger condition no longer exists.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Rudolph C. Baron, Jr., Rhonda L. Childress, Christopher W. Ecks, William A. Grimes

Patent number: 9758016Abstract: A vehicle occupant safety system involves multiple sensors within a vehicle, a monitor aggregator, a processor, a vehicle electronic control system, and a decision engine which will compare sensor data against a set of sensor parameters to determine whether any of multiple potential danger conditions exists within the vehicle, and determine which of multiple control actions are to be automatically taken and modify operation of at least one vehicle component. If a further determination is made that either the specified danger condition is persisting or has exceeded at least one specified severity threshold, the decision engine will determine whether to further modify operation of any vehicle component or take a specified escalation action. The decision engine will continue to make determinations regarding the specified danger condition and decide whether to take further control actions until the specified danger condition no longer exists.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: International BusinessMachines CorporationInventors: Rudolph C.

Patent number: 9503685Abstract: A solution for managing a videoconference is provided. Multiple virtual backgrounds can be stored, and a virtual background can be selected to be used for a first participant when he/she is conducting a videoconference with a second participant. The virtual background can be selected based on one or more attributes of the first and/or second participant, one or more attributes of the videoconference, and/or the like. The virtual backgrounds can be utilized, for example, to provide a desired perception, message, and/or the like, of a business entity to individuals outside of the business entity that are interacting with its personnel via videoconferencing. The virtual background can include static image data, a live video feed, a recorded video feed, a static web page of a business entity, and a non-static web page of the business entity.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rudolph C. Baron, Jr., Andrew R. Jones, Michael L. Massimi, Kevin C. McConnell
