Patent number: 10853056Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting patching in a multi-tenant application server environment. The system can associate one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by that tenant, wherein a partition is a runtime and administrative subdivision or slice of a domain. A patching process can take advantage of high-availability features provided by an application server clustering environment, to apply patches in a controlled, rolling restart, which maintains a domain's ability to operate without interruption, or with zero downtime. The process can be used to automate complex or long running tasks, including preserving an unpatched or prior version of an application server, application, or other software component for possible rollback, or providing automatic reversion in the event of an unrecoverable error.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Nazrul Islam, Jacob Lindholm, Josh Dorr, Christopher Kasso, Yamini K Balasubramanyam, Steven Liu, Rajiv Mordani, Abhijit Kumar

Publication number: 20200192539Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for transferring an object between a virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) client running on a client device and a remote virtual machine (VM) connected to the VDI client through a network. The method includes receiving, at the client device, an input corresponding to a drag and drop operation of an object between the client device and a remote desktop displayed at the client device, the remote desktop running on the remote VM. The method includes transferring one or more commands corresponding to the drag and drop operation from the client device to the remote VM or from the remote VM to the client device via a first channel.

Patent number: 10178184Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods for session handling in a multitenant application server environment are provided. The ability to replicate a session is important but equally so is the ability to ensure the session is successfully deserialized on some server in order to serve the request. After a server has been shut down, the front end can fail over the request to one of the remaining server members in a cluster. Once the server receives the request it can attempt to grab the session from a server that holds a copy of that session. When a patched or unpatched server attempts to load the session that originated from a server of the opposite state, it can fail to deserialize the session, and inform the traffic director of severs in the cluster that are capable of deserializing the session.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Joshua Dorr, Steven Liu, Lenny Phan

Patent number: 10084843Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing web container partitions in an application server environment. The application server environment can include a domain with one or more partitions, each partition associated with one or more virtual targets, and each virtual target including configuration information for a web server that hosts one or more applications deployed to that virtual target. Each virtual target can register configuration information of its associated web server with a web container. When receiving a request for accessing an application in a particular partition, the web container can examine information in the host header of the request and virtual target configuration information in the web container, to find a matching web server for dispatching the request.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Steven Liu, Rajiv Mordani, Joseph Di Pol, Xin Li, Liang Zhang, Miranda Cheng

Patent number: 9534550Abstract: A cylinder control system of a vehicle includes a cylinder control module and an air per cylinder (APC) prediction module. The cylinder control module determines a desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence. The cylinder control module also activates and deactivates valves of cylinders of an engine based on the desired cylinder activation/deactivation sequence. The APC prediction module predicts an amount of air that will be trapped within a next activated cylinder in a firing order of the cylinders based on a cylinder activation/deactivation sequence of the last Q cylinders in the firing order. Q is an integer greater than one.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Gregory P.

Patent number: 9494092Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes an engine air sensor, an engine air prediction module, and an engine actuator module. The engine air sensor measures an engine air parameter at a first rate. The engine air parameter includes at least one of a mass flow rate of air flowing into an intake manifold of an engine, a pressure within the intake manifold, and a mass of air within a cylinder of the engine. The engine air prediction module predicts the engine air parameter at a second rate that is greater than the first rate. The engine actuator module controls an actuator of the engine based on at least one of the measured engine air parameter and the predicted engine air parameter.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Zhiping Steven Liu, Gregory P.
