  • Publication number: 20230153222
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and program products that can generate scaled-down load test models for testing real-world loads are disclosed herein. One method includes providing a test environment of a system including multiple nodes. The test environment includes virtual nodes corresponding to the system nodes and each virtual node functions under a virtual load similar to each corresponding node functioning under a real-world load. The method further includes utilizing a machine learning algorithm to repeatedly apply at least one virtual load to the virtual node(s) in the test environment until a scaled-down load test model mimicking the system under a pre-defined real-world load is generated. Here, the virtual load(s) applied to the virtual node(s) is/are comparatively smaller relative to each of corresponding real-world loads for the node(s) defining the pre-defined real-world load. Systems, apparatus, and program products that include and/or perform the methods are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 7541475
    Abstract: This invention is directed to processes for making substituted thiazoles. The substituted thiazole, ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate, also known as TEI-6720, is useful for treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. This compound belongs to a class of substituted thiazoles that inhibit xanthine oxidase and thus block uric acid production.

  • Patent number: 6698110
    Abstract: A spike shoe has a cushion mounted on the outer sole thereof. The cushion has spike-accommodating bores defined therein and each spike is accommodated in a bore. The cushion compresses as the wearer of the shoe places his or her weight on the sole of the shoe. The spike-accommodating bores are sized and shaped so the cushion adjacent to each bore contacts the spike accommodated in the bore during the compression of the cushion and prior to the cushion being fully compressed whereby each spike is wiped by the cushion every time the wearer places his or her weight on the shoe during a walking or running movement.
