  • Patent number: 10461996
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for service failover and failback using ESB are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A determination is made, by a processor at a first data processing system, whether a service being requested in a request can be provided from a failover provider system. An event log record is used to determine whether a connection failure event occurred with a primary provider system of the service. An evaluation is made whether the request can be routed to the failover provider system. The request is routed to the failover provider system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150185195
    Abstract: A plastic packaging component is provided that is formed of a resin containing an electromagnetic spectrally detectable additive mixed with the resin. The resin formed into a plastic packaging component of an aerosol package lid, an aerosol spray button, an aerosol spray tube, a trigger sprayer, an integrated lid-sprayer, a grease cartridge, a grease cap, plastic fiber toweling, a packaging strap, a pail lid, a jar cap, or a brush. A process for detecting a displaced packaging component in an organic production stream is provided that includes adding to a resin an electromagnetically detectable additive intermixed with the resin and forming the additive loaded resin into the plastic packaging component. The production stream is then scanned for the detectable signal of the additive. Upon detecting the additive, an alarm signal is provided that the production stream contains the displaced packaging component.

  • Patent number: 6195688
    Abstract: A computer system, program product, and method of communicating internetworking data over a master-slave communication link utilize a device driver in a workstation coupled to a multi-drop master-slave communication link to forward internetwork datagrams to the network interface of the workstation in a format defined by an internetworking protocol in response to receipt thereof of data segments transmitted over the master-slave communication link that are encapsulated in a header native to the multi-drop master-slave communication link. A host computer coupled to the workstation over the multi-drop master-slave communication link maps the hardware address of the workstation to a network address consistent with the internetworking protocol, and initiates a communication session with the workstation using this mapped network address so that the network interface of the workstation can recognize the network address as its assigned address.
