Patent number: 8954545Abstract: A method of determining compatibility of a virtual machine or virtual machine disk file with a host, including a storage host, is disclosed. A lookup matrix is created to provide a fast compatibility lookup. To create the lookup matrix, computing object properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of computing objects. The computing object properties include resource requirements of each of the plurality of computing objects. Further, host properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of hosts. The method further includes creating host logical groups of a subset of the plurality of hosts having substantially same host properties and creating a plurality of computing object logical groups of a subject of the plurality of computing objects having substantially same computing object properties. The lookup matrix answers whether each member of a selected computing object logical group can be transferred to a selected host logical group.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Kinshuk Govil, Kiran Kamath, Steven Michael Kusalo, Mark Russell Johnson

Patent number: 8869222Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer program products are provided to facilitate enhanced use and interaction with multimedia content using a variety of content identification techniques. After identifying a content that is being presented by a first device, the content identification information is used to retrieve and present a second content that would render at least a portion of the first content comprehensible to particular users or audience of the first content. The second content can be tailored to accommodate physical disabilities or special needs of a user or a group of users.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Verance CorporationInventors: Joseph M.

Patent number: 8746594Abstract: An air inductor comprises an inner sleeve having a water inlet (1) and a water outlet (2). The inner sleeve is arranged to form a venturi and has a side air inlet (3). An outer sleeve has first and second different attachment means (9, 11) at opposite ends for attachment to different plumbing fixtures. The inner sleeve can be inserted into either end of the outer sleeve so as to selectably locate the first and second attachment means (9, 11) at the water inlet (1) and water outlet (2) respectively and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: A L Challis LimitedInventor: Russell Johnson Challis

Patent number: 7837752Abstract: A rigid or semi-rigid demister pad is positioned between an air turbine and an inertial water removal device such as extractor in an air conditioning system for an aircraft. The demister pad comprises packed fibers or strands whose diameter typically ranges from approximately 10 or fewer microns to approximately 280 microns. The demister is capable of catching very small droplets discharged from the air turbine that coalesce into larger droplets that exit the demister pad and enter an adjacent water removal device downstream from the pad to separate the larger water droplets from the stream of air. This avoids using a water separator containing a coalescer bag that requires frequent maintenance and is sensitive to dirt and freezing. The demister can operate at freezing temperature, is not dirt-sensitive and requires no maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Ranjit R. Darke, Michael B. Faust, Allen K. MacKnight, Russell Johnson, Alexander M. Bershitsky

Patent number: 7628965Abstract: A gas generating system comprises a catalytic reactor in fluid communication with a sulfur separator. The catalytic reactor oxidizes a fuel to provide a supply of carbon dioxide. The sulfur separator removes sulfur components from the stream before or after the fuel is oxidized. A portion of the hot exhaust gas from the catalytic reactor can be used to regenerate an adsorption bed of the sulfur separator.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Honeywell International IncInventors: Russell Johnson, Stephen F. Yates, Rehan Zaki
