  • Publication number: 20230160201
    Abstract: A one-piece insulation mounting bracket is disclosed. The mounting bracket readily supports the insulation (e.g., curtain wall insulation) without requiring locking washers to secure the insulation to the mounting bracket. As a result, the insulation can be mounted more quickly than with conventional mounting systems.

  • Publication number: 20180309686
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to reducing a rate limit. An example implementation includes processing resource requests of a first priority level and resource requests of a second priority level. The rate of resource requests of the first priority level processed may be limited to a first rate limit and the rate of resource requests of the second priority level processed may be limited to a second rate limit. A resource request load that exceeds a maximum resource request threshold may be detected. The second rate limit of the second rate limiter may be reduced such that the resource request load no longer exceeds the maximum resource request threshold.

  • Patent number: 8233740
    Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing photorealistic mosaics are described. One embodiment of the invention includes capturing an image of a sheet that includes a plurality of pieces of material, determining the location of each piece of material on the sheet from the captured image, extracting images of each piece of material on the sheet from the captured image, storing an image of each piece of material and information concerning the location of the piece of material in a database and using the images in the database and the target image to identify pieces of material to be used in the construction of the photorealistic mosaic.

  • Patent number: 7954086
    Abstract: A method, and a corresponding mechanism, are used for creating a self-describing kernel module. The method includes the steps of expressing data describing a module in a modmeta file format and creating a C language source file. The C language source file is created by translating the expressed data into a series of C language data structures, wherein the series of C language data structures comprises the C language source file. The C language source file is then compiled and linked into the module itself, thus making the module contain its own descriptive data.

  • Patent number: 7634770
    Abstract: A method, and a corresponding mechanism, are used for resolving interface dependencies in kernel modules during an operating system (O/S) update. The method includes determining the O/S version for which each module is designed, determining a version of the updated O/S, comparing the O/S version for which each module is designed to the version of the updated O/S, and removing from the system those modules that are not compatible with the updated O/S.

  • Patent number: 7596688
    Abstract: A user-defined tunable, and an apparatus and a method for creating the user-defined tunable, are described. The user-defined tunable includes a tunable name, an assigned value, and an expression that relates the user-defined tunable to one or more kernel tunables. The kernel tunables have parameter values defined by the expression, and a change to the expression changes the parameter values of the kernel tunables.

  • Publication number: 20080263183
    Abstract: Various approaches for managing kernel configuration files in a cluster computing arrangement are disclosed. In one approach, a first set of kernel configuration files are installed networked storage, and a first node is booted using the first set of kernel configuration files. A copy of the first set of kernel configuration files is stored in networked storage as a default kernel configuration in response to an administrator initiated first operation. In response to an administrator-initiated second operation a copy of the default kernel configuration is stored as a second set of kernel configuration files for a second node of the cluster. The second node is booted with the second set of kernel configuration files.

  • Publication number: 20080235503
    Abstract: Various approaches are disclosed for run-time update of a configurable kernel parameter that controls runtime operations of in an operating system kernel. In one approach, a first request is received to change a current value of a first configurable kernel parameter to a first new value. The first new value is not equal to the current value. The kernel continues to operate with the current value until occurrence of an un-timed event detected by the kernel. In response to occurrence of the event, the first new value is stored as the current value of the first configurable kernel parameter, and the kernel operates with the first new value as the current value. The receiving, delaying, storing, and operating are performed without rebooting the operating system.

In addition, the framework can detect issues in the performance tests and control these tests based on the severity of the issues. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
