  • Publication number: 20240106885
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that automatically scale an application between private and public cloud computing platforms, while simultaneous enforcing policies ensuring private data is persistently stored on the private cloud computing platform, but not the public cloud computing platform. A traffic manager on the public platform routes traffic to instances of a web app executing on a private platform. A traffic monitor on the private platform monitors performance criteria of the private platform, and reports traffic telemetry to the traffic manager. Based on the traffic telemetry, the traffic manager may instantiate one or more instances of the web app on the public platform to handle traffic. Private data gathered by such instantiated instance(s) is persisted to storage in the private platform, but not in the public platform.

  • Patent number: 11931845
    Abstract: In an example, a system is disclosed. The system comprises a one-piece mandrel, a fuselage coupled to the one-piece mandrel, and a strongback apparatus positioned on the fuselage. The strongback apparatus comprises an arcuate central body comprising a front end, a rear end, and a plurality of elongated members that connect the front end to the rear end, and actuators mounted to the plurality of elongated members. The actuators are configured to move in a radially outward direction from extended positions to retracted positions and comprise (i) proximal ends mounted to the plurality of elongated members and (ii) distal ends having vacuum suction cups. In the extended positions, the vacuum suction cups engage the fuselage on which the strongback apparatus is positioned. As the actuators moves from the extended positions to the retracted positions, the vacuum suction cups pull the fuselage away from the one-piece mandrel.
