  • Patent number: 9602340
    Abstract: Real-time data is extracted from a log file for at least one monitored process on each of a plurality of servers. For each monitored process, extracted real-time data is inserted into object variables of an object. The object variable data is processed to generate performance statistics for the monitored processes and to determine whether to trigger an alarm. A database is updated with object variable data and performance statistics when an event associated with a monitored process takes place. Historical performance statistics from the database are compared with current performance statistics to determine a performance trend.

  • Publication number: 20170021260
    Abstract: A golf shot tracking system including an identification tag coupled to a golf club and a tag reader including a position-determination component and a tag identification component are disclosed. The tag reader may receive identification information relating to the golf club, and may determine its position, in response to the identification tag being within a reception range of the tag identification component. The tag reader may transmit a signal representative of the golf club identification information in association with the position information to a communication device. The communication device may be a portable handheld device having a display for displaying a representation of the golf club identity in association with the determined position. The communication device may be configured to upload the golf club identity in association with the determined position to a remote server.

  • Patent number: 8127710
    Abstract: An arrangement for coating a workpiece with a working surface comprises a movement rail and a lacquering robot. The movement rail is moveable relative to a stationary reference point parallel to the working surface. The lacquering robot is disposed on the movement rail and is moveable on the movement rail. A lacquering cabin for coating a workpiece comprises at least two chassis parallel to one another and a lacquering apparatus with an opening. The lacquering apparatus is supported on the two chassis and is moveable with the chassis. A method for coating a workpiece using a lacquering cabin comprises subdividing the workpiece into adjacent sections, moving the lacquering cabin to a position corresponding to a section, and coating the section.

  • Publication number: 20080263678
    Abstract: A software configuration management system receives a request to prevent code change to code within a filesystem path. The system also receives parameters for a trigger-based rule to protect code within the filesystem path against changes. Metadata for the trigger-based rule is extracted and dumped into a file. The file is replicated to a server. When the server receives a submission to change code within the filesystem path, the server compares the submission against the metadata in the replicated file. The submission is denied based at least in part on the trigger-based rule with which the metadata in the replicated file is associated.
