Publication number: 20160376746Abstract: A backside coated fabric includes a fabric substrate having a front side (face) and a back side. A water permeable spacer layer is applied to the back side of the fabric substrate. The water permeable spacer layer allows penetration of water into its matrix when hydrostatic water pressure is applied to the face of the fabric substrate. The water permeable spacer layer provides a smooth coating surface onto which subsequent water impermeable barrier layers can be applied creating a physical separating layer between the fabric substrate and the water impermeable barrier layer. A water impermeable barrier layer is disposed over the water permeable spacer layer to provide an impermeable water barrier layer that does not allow penetration of water through the coated fabric when hydrostatic water pressure is applied to the face of the fabric construction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: RICHARD WAYNE GREENE, ALFRED HARDY SULLIVAN, JR., CHARLES C. KING

Patent number: 9135075Abstract: A method comprises receiving, by a workload profiler, a representative workload of a computing system under analysis. The workload profiler determines a workload profile of the computing system that reflects a transaction mix that varies over time. A capacity analyzer receives the workload profile, and determines a maximum capacity of the computing system under analysis for serving the workload profile while satisfying a defined quality of service (QoS) target.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ludmila Cherkasova, Qi Zhang, Guy Mathews, Wayne Greene

Patent number: 8032585Abstract: A method comprises receiving a representative workload of a computing system, where the representative workload comprises at least one composite transaction. In certain embodiments, the representative workload is a historical workload of a computing system. In general, a composite transaction refers to a transaction that comprises a plurality of transactions. For instance, a given transaction for serving a client's request for information (e.g., a web page) may include embedded therein a plurality of requests/responses for objects (e.g., images, etc.) that form the information (e.g., that form the requested web page). The method further comprises determining, based at least in part on a statistical regression-based analysis, a resource cost for the at least one composite transaction, where the resource cost reflects an amount of utilization of at least one resource of the computing system, such as CPU utilization, in serving the at least one composite transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ludmila Cherkasova, Qi Zhang, Guy Mathews, Wayne Greene

Publication number: 20100319595Abstract: A method for the production of animal feedlot biomass for use as fuel in a reactor comprises surfacing a feedlot with a feedlot surfacing material. In addition, the method comprises collecting an animal feedlot biomass from the feedlot. Further, the method comprises preparing the collected biomass for use as fuel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2008Publication date: December 23, 2010Applicant: The Texas A&M University SystemInventors: John M.

Patent number: 7779127Abstract: A method comprises receiving a representative workload of a computing system, where the representative workload comprises a plurality of composite transactions. In certain embodiments, the representative workload is a historical workload of a computing system. In general, a composite transaction refers to a transaction that comprises a plurality of embedded transactions. The method further comprises determining a subset of the plurality of composite transactions for which a corresponding resource cost is to be determined; and determining, based at least in part on a statistical regression-based analysis, a resource cost for the composite transaction(s) in the determined subset, where the resource cost reflects an amount of utilization of at least one resource of the computing system in serving the composite transaction(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ludmila Cherkasova, Qi Zhang, Guy Mathews, Wayne Greene

Patent number: 7374383Abstract: A wire nail for use with a powered nail-driving tool has a full-round head with an axis that is offset from an axis of the integrally formed shank. An outer circumferential surface of the shank is at least as offset from the shank axis in one radial direction as a circumferential surface of the head in that radial direction. Accordingly, such nails may be collated shank-to-shank in a strip of wire nails such that adjoining shanks are both parallel and touching. During manufacture of the wire nail, a notch is formed in the shank at the intersection between the shank and the head. The notch and the head axis are disposed on opposite sides of the shank axis from each other. The notch facilitates improved metal flow during the head-forming procedure and results in strong shank to head connections.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2005Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Stanley Fastening Systems, L.P.Inventors: John R. Crompton, Wayne Greene, George P. Smith
