  • Patent number: 11157152
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining, for each position of a pointer during a selection of a first graphical element, whether the position of the pointer corresponds to a boundary position in a GUI, and based on determining that the position of the pointer corresponds to the boundary position in the GUI, setting a position of the first graphical element to the boundary position even though the pointer continues to move beyond the boundary position during selection of the first graphical element. The systems and methods further provide for determining that the pointer position has moved beyond a predetermined threshold position for the boundary position and causing the first graphical element to move from the boundary position to the same position as the pointer and continue to move with the pointer during selection of the first graphical element.

  • Patent number: 11042568
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for monitoring databases includes providing views for monitoring information associated with a first datacenter and proxy views for monitoring information associated with a second datacenter. The first datacenter receives a query for monitoring information and parses the query to identify filter information that identifies which of the first or second datacenter the requested services are running on. If the filter information indicates the service is running on the first datacenter, the first datacenter queries the views to request the monitoring information from the server on the first datacenter running the requested service. If the filter information indicates the service is running on the second datacenter, the first datacenter queries the proxy views to request the monitoring information from the server on the second datacenter running the requested service, and receives the monitoring information. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20190324974
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for monitoring databases includes providing views for monitoring information associated with a first datacenter and proxy views for monitoring information associated with a second datacenter. The first datacenter receives a query for monitoring information associated with services running on the first datacenter and/or the second datacenter. The first datacenter parses the query to identify filter information that identifies which of the first or second datacenter the requested services are running on. If the filter information indicates the service is running on the first datacenter, the first datacenter queries the views to request the monitoring information from the server on the first datacenter running the requested service.

  • Patent number: 7155328
    Abstract: A device and a method for determining positions of an automatic gearbox comprises a notched disk (1), an adjustment device for rotating the notched disk (1), a first sensor (14) for measuring the applicable torque, a second sensor (16) for determining the position of the notched disk (1), and a regulating device (15). The method determines the exact position of the notched disk (1) in a plurality of steps.
