  • Patent number: 11126541
    Abstract: Managing resources used during a development pipeline. A method of the disclosure includes analyzing historical resource usage of an application development system during different stages of a development pipeline for an application. The application development system includes a set of computing resources. The method also includes determining a current resource usage for a current stage of the development pipeline for the application. The method further includes determining an estimated resource usage for a later stage of the development pipeline for the application based on one or more of the current resource usage or the historical resource usage. The method further includes configuring the set of computing resources of the application development system for the later stage of the development pipeline based on the estimated resource usage.

  • Patent number: 10871998
    Abstract: Usage instrumented workload scheduling is disclosed. For example, a plurality of nodes host first and second pluralities of guests. An orchestrator includes a usage monitor, a workload classifier, and a scheduler, and executes on a processor to track, by the usage monitor, respective usage patterns of a plurality of accounts including a first account. A first workload is received from the first account, which has a first account factor based on the respective usage patterns of the first account. The first workload is assigned by the workload classifier to a first workload type of a plurality of workload types. The first workload is assigned by the scheduler to the first plurality of guests based on the first account factor and the first workload type.

  • Patent number: 10216141
    Abstract: An imaging device having a fuser and print engine architecture that enables complete interchangeability between fuser types with a common print engine. The imaging device has a frame configured to separately receive a first fuser assembly of a first fuser type and a second fuser assembly of a second fuser type different from the first fuser type. The first fuser assembly includes a first fuser frame having a first datum tab. The second fuser assembly includes a second fuser frame having a second datum tab. The frame of the imaging device has a datum aperture that is sized to receive the first datum tab that when inserted into the datum aperture, causes the first fuser assembly to be positioned at a first operative position, and the second datum tab that when inserted into the datum aperture, causes the second fuser assembly to be positioned at a second operative position.

  • Patent number: 9534328
    Abstract: A laundry machine configured to supply a first amount of water to the wash tub wherein a wash plate can be oscillated such that clothes items directly above and in contact with the impeller are frictionally dragged in a oscillatory manner with the wash chamber while continuing to oscillate said wash plate, an additional supply of water is added to said wash tub such that as cloth items lost frictional engagement with the wash plate, the cloth items continue to move along an inverse toroidal rollover path at higher water levels.

  • Publication number: 20130150701
    Abstract: A multi-lumen catheter for use in a cavity having a main lumen surrounded by a wall, and at least one access lumen positioned in or on the wall, the one access lumen conveys a solution to the cavity and said main lumen. A method for treating or preventing fluid or accumulation in a body cavity including (a) aseptically inserting through an incision at an insertion site the catheter comprising a main drainage lumen surrounded by a wall and the one access lumen positioned in or on the wall, (b) securing the inserted catheter by closing the incision with a suture, (c) infusing a physiological solution through the one access lumen to dilute a drainage fluid, (d) connecting a distal end of a main drainage lumen of the catheter to a suction drainage system, and (e) applying a vacuum force to the suction drainage system to remove the diluted drainage fluid.

  • Patent number: 8204420
    Abstract: A fuser has a heater housing extending through an endless belt with end caps on the housing adjacent to opposite lateral sides of the belt. The end caps have inner flanges spaced radially outward from a center portion and radially inward from the opposite marginal side edge portions of the belt so as to define clearance therebetween. Protuberances on the inner flanges of the end caps project toward opposite marginal edge portions of the belt and are circumferentially spaced apart to reduce belt skew relative to the end caps by either decreasing the surface area of contact of the inner flanges with the opposite marginal side edge portions of the belt to reduced surface areas of contact of protuberances therewith or decreasing the radial height of the clearance between the inner flanges and opposite side edge portions of the belt to the reduced radial height between the latter and the protuberances.
