  • Patent number: 9853868
    Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider.

  • Patent number: 9749195
    Abstract: Determining placement options for technical components of a specified service is a difficult technical challenge. A metadata architecture addresses, in part, the technical challenge by defining a complex metadata collection and attachment mechanism. In one implementation, the metadata architecture defines metadata domains and obtains descriptive metadata for those domains, e.g., metadata for the technical components from multiple disparate sources and across multiple different characteristics of the technical components. The metadata architecture is linked to the technical components and the metadata architecture injects specific metadata subsets into, e.g., a placement pipeline that determines where the technical components may be placed in the extensive provider/platform/service space.

  • Patent number: 9566888
    Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly for a vehicle has a lower seat with a center seat cushion and a forward thigh supporting portion having a first refracted position and a second extended position. A leading edge of the forward thigh supporting portion is longitudinally displaced forward of the lower seat in the second extended position relative the first retracted position. A seat bolster is coupled with the forward thigh supporting portion extending laterally from at least one side of the seat, wherein the seat bolster has a first retracted position and a second extended position. A user control is operational to move the forward thigh supporting portion between the first retracted position and the second extended position, which simultaneously moves the seat bolster relative to the center seat cushion, respectively, between the first retracted position and a second extended position of the seat bolster.

  • Publication number: 20160350152
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to managing shared resources in a multithreaded processor comprising two or more processing threads. Danger levels for the two or more threads are determined, wherein the danger level of a thread is based on a potential failure of the thread to meet a deadline due to unavailability of a shared resource. Priority levels associated with the two or more threads are also determined, wherein the priority level is higher for a thread whose failure to meet a deadline is unacceptable and the priority level is lower for a thread whose failure to meet a deadline is acceptable. The two or more threads are scheduled based at least on the determined danger levels for the two or more threads and priority levels associated with the two or more threads.

  • Patent number: 9467393
    Abstract: A network component placement architecture addresses the difficult technical challenge of determining where specific technical components of an overall service may be provisioned. The architecture is particularly effective at determining where, among a myriad of possible service provides, platforms, and regions, the technical components can be placed and meet all of the applicable technical constraints on the placement of the technical components. In one implementation, the placement architecture includes a sequence of pipeline stages that define an analysis sequence leading to a set of possible placement options.
