Patent number: 11339567Abstract: Fire-retardant panels that include: a frame with multiple holes that reduce heat conduction through the panel; or a frame that includes two portions separated by a layer of fire-resistant material (e.g., gypsum, calcium silicate, or gypsum board). Some embodiments include skins (e.g., sheet metal) or insulation (e.g., between skin and fire-resistant material, for instance, within the frame). In particular embodiments, the fire-resistant material is (e.g., midway) between: two skins, two layers of insulation, two portions of the frame, or a combination thereof.

Patent number: 8549542Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an event identity manager that defines a topology of resources. The topology of resources represents relationships amongst the resources in a data center and each of the resources comprises resource attributes described in a data model. The event manager acquires event data describing an event that occurred amongst the resources. In addition, the event data comprises a format that is incompatible with the data model. The event manager correlates the event data with the data model in order to determine a locus of the event data within the topology of resources, the locus of the event data being a resource where the event is most likely associated.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Thomas Robert Maguire, Jeffrey Mark Nick, Stephen Glen Graham

Patent number: 6665705Abstract: A method and apparatus in a distributed data processing system for providing proxy services. Requests are processed by a primary proxy, using a shared memory in the distributed data processing system. A challenge from a secondary proxy to the primary proxy is detected. A determination is made as to whether the secondary proxy has priority over the primary proxy. This may be determined using priorities assigned to the proxies. Responsive to determining whether the secondary proxy has priority over the primary proxy, a priority of the secondary proxy is stored. Responsive to the secondary proxy having priority over the primary proxy, the secondary proxy to is allowed access the shared memory. Further, the secondary proxy is then allowed to multi-cast a message to clients indicating the secondary proxy's location. This message indicates that the secondary proxy is now the primary proxy.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1999Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Fonda Jonette Daniels-Barnes, Stephen Glen Graham, Ajamu Akinwunmi Wesley
