  • Automatic creation of delivery pipelines
    Patent number: 10671368
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) identifying one or more resources of a shared computing environment utilized in delivery of an application, to users of the shared computing environment. The processor(s) monitors communications to the one or more resources, to identify and intercept operations related to delivery of the application. The processor(s) analyze the intercepted operations, to determine when the operations comprise a pattern occurring with a frequency indicative of a predetermined level of confidence, where the pattern comprises one or more delivery operations. Based on determining the pattern occurs with the frequency, the processor(s) generates an automated delivery pipeline for the application, where the automated delivery pipeline automates at least one of the one or more delivery operations comprising the pattern. The processor(s) utilizes the automated delivery pipeline to deliver a new version of the application.

  • Method for varying the ambient pressure in a vessel
    Patent number: 4274405
    Abstract: The ambient pressure of the environment of an individual within a vessel is varied between an upper and lower pressure value by providing the vessel with a mass of gas sufficient to fill at least a substantial part of the vessel, and varying the quantity of liquid, primarily water, in the vessel in order to cause the pressure therein to vary correspondingly between the upper and lower values.
