  • Patent number: 11792278
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to handle requests to an application file shared by a plurality of applications on a computing system. In one implementation, a method of handling request for an application file shared by a plurality of applications on a computing system includes identifying a request for the application file on the computing system, wherein each application in the plurality of applications is associated with an individualized version of the application file, and wherein the plurality of applications is stored on separate application storage volumes attached to the computing system. The method further provides identifying an application associated with the request, and identifying an application storage volume in the application storage volumes that stores the application. Once identified, the method also includes retrieving the application file from the identified storage volume to support the request.

  • Publication number: 20180084912
    Abstract: Disclosed is a grid structure of a storage rack, and the storage rack has four corner pillars vertically disposed at four corner of the storage rack and edge frames coupled with each other to form a rectangular frame space, and at least one grid disposed in the frame space, and the edge frames and the grid are combined to form a carrying plane for carrying heavy objects, and the grid is formed by first wires and second wires staggered with one another, and the second wires are coupled to the bottom of the first wires. Each second wire has a sectional shape corresponsive to a positive force direction of the carrying plane and in a flat elliptical shape and an aspect ratio falling within a range of 1.5:1˜3.5:1. Therefore, the supporting effect while carrying heavy objects can be improved without increasing the weight of materials.

  • Patent number: 8371458
    Abstract: A ceiling rack includes a pair of transverse beams parallel to each other, at least one mesh unit and at least four supporting units. Each transverse beam has a side wall and a U-shaped hook body, and an assembly groove having an opening on a top surface thereof is formed therebetween. The mesh unit has a U-shaped end body at two opposite end portions thereof, which is assembled in the assembly groove and engaged with the U-shaped hook body. The supporting units are assembled between the side walls of the two opposite end portions of the transverse beam and the ceiling. With the U-shaped end body, the U-shaped hook body and the assembly groove, the mesh unit can be assembled in the assembly groove and engaged with the U-shaped hook body without any locking element, thereby providing the convenience of assembly and disassembly.

  • Patent number: 8041807
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for determining a number of concurrent users being served by a system at a given point-in-time is provided. The method includes running, at a pre-determined point-in-time, a collection script for collecting user data from one or more target systems, the user data collected including a number of concurrent users logged into each of the target systems at the pre-determined point-in-time. The method further includes generating one or more electronic transmissions for transmitting the user data collected, loading the one or more electronic transmissions generated into a monitoring system, and creating an output file containing the user data. Further, the loading step includes parsing the user data loaded, storing the user data collected and parsed into a database and updating the stored user data. Moreover, the method includes transmitting the output file from the monitoring system to one or more monitoring system clients.
