Abstract: Aspects of the present invention dynamically reduce a frequency at which IT infrastructure automatically generates alerts. Historical data across a plurality of data sources in the IT infrastructure is analyzed. An opportunity to reduce the frequency at which the IT infrastructure automatically generates the alerts is identified. A new alert policy addressing the opportunity to reduce alert frequency is generated. An impact of the new alert policy on a set of predefined service level objectives (SLOs) and service level agreements (SLAs) is evaluated. The new alert policy is deployed in the IT infrastructure.

Abstract: A luggage tag which has a main body portion, an attachment mechanism for coupling the main body portion to a piece of luggage, and a time zone converter coupled to the main body portion. The time zone converter has a base, a first set of markings disposed on the base, an indicator slidably coupled to the base, and a second set of markings disposed on the indicator. In various embodiments, the first set of markings can represent geographic locations such as cites, and the second set of markings can represent time divisions in hours and/or minutes or vice versa. In addition, the time divisions can be based on either a 12-hour or a 24-hour scale.

Abstract: A valve (actuator) for performing pressurization, decompression and pressure maintenance drives plural spools movable up and down within a housing having plural bores by using linear shape memory alloys, and an anti-lock brake system utilizes the valve, in which respective bores have inlets and outlets, a mechanism for holding a lowering state of the spools is installed to the lower portion of the housing, and the spools return to their original positions by bias springs. A master cylinder, a wheel brake and a hydraulic pump are connected to the inlets and outlets of the valve of the anti-lock brake system and an electronic control unit is connected to the shape memory alloys to actuate the shape memory alloys, thereby attaining the operations of pressurization, decompression and pressure maintenance in connection with a brake pressure of the wheel brake.

Abstract: A simulator for testing an Anti-lock braking system modulator capable of easily setting the yawing of a vehicle and disproportionate concentration of a vehicle weight according to the various vehicle weights and diverse road surface conditions has wheels rotated by compressively contacting flywheel pairs, a flywheel driving portion for transmitting and managing a driving force to the flywheels, rotation-speed sensors for monitoring the rotational speed of the wheels and flywheels, pneumatic cylinders installed to respective wheels for regulating a frictional force between the wheels and flywheels, a braking system for inciting a braking force to the wheels to which a modulator to be tested is mounted, a pneumatic pressure generating circuit for supplying a predetermined pressure to the braking system and pneumatic cylinder, and a controller electrically connected to the flywheel driving portion, rotation-speed sensors and pneumatic pressure generating circuit, in which the controller controls the flywheel dri

Abstract: A valve for performing pressurization, decompression and pressure maintenance includes linear shape memory alloys. An anti-lock brake system utilizes the valve. The valve has plural spools movable up and down within a housing having plural bores. The respective bores have inlets and outlets. A mechanism for holding a lowering state of the spools is installed to the lower portion of the housing, and the spools return to their original positions by bias springs. In the anti-lock brake system, a master cylinder, wheel brakes and a hydraulic pump are connected to the inlets and outlets of the valve, and an electronic control unit is connected to the shape memory alloys to actuate the shape memory alloys, thereby attaining pressurization, decompression and maintenance of brake pressure.

Abstract: This invention provides a tricycle having a simple frame that is shaped to provide an efficient low profile, lever actuation, which is adapted to be hand-operated for enjoyable, interesting and efficient training purposes, including efficient propulsion, and interesting and enjoyable arm-hand training and coordination. The frame also has low profile steering from a sitting or leg-outstretched position, which is comfortable, provides a low center of gravity and enhances the efficiency, enjoyment, training and coordination provided by the hand-operation. Still further, the frame is shaped to provide a strong, simple and effective coupling system for connecting more than one tricycle in a train for purposes of education, enjoyment, efficiency, training and coordination.
