Patent number: 9038086Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing an information technology build service for building a platform in response to a service request. The invention receives a service request for the platform build from a requester, receives a plurality of platform parameters from the requester, determines whether the service request requires one or more physical machines or one or more virtual machines, and if the service request requires one or more virtual machines, initiates build of the one or more virtual machines. The invention also provisions physical and virtual storage based on received parameters, provisions physical and virtual processing power based on received parameters, and manages power of resources during the build, the managing comprising managing power ups, power downs, standbys, idles and reboots of one or more physical components being used for the build.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Prentice O. Dees, Jr., Christopher Mills, Timothy Golden, William Rouse, Thomas H. Davies, John Becsi, Darren Sanders, Ron Engle, Christopher G. Lewis, Michael Shackelford, Eric Tykeson, Mingkui Song, Wayne Enseki, Charles Ebanks, Tauseef Khan, Schorschi Decker, John Van Ommen, Matthew Nolan

Patent number: 9038068Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing capacity reclamation of resources allocated to one or more virtual machines. The invention monitors resource usage of the one or more virtual machines over a predetermined period of time, compares resource usage to resource allocation; and, based on the comparison of the resource usage to the resource allocation, adjusts resource allocation based on the monitored resource usage. Comparing the resource usage may include comparing resource usage to a target upper threshold percentage of allocated resources, and if the resource usage exceeds the target upper threshold, increasing the allocated resources by a predetermined amount and comparing resource usage to a target lower threshold percentage of allocated resources, and if the resource usage is less than the target lower threshold, decreasing the allocated resources by a predetermined amount.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Ronald Engle, Prentice O. Dees, Jr., John Becsi, Thomas H. Davies, Darren Sanders, Timothy Golden, William Rouse

Publication number: 20070062686Abstract: Methods and apparatus provides an improved shunt nozzle which is part of an alternative pathway for a slurry to by-pass an obstruction such as a sand bridge during gravel packing. The nozzle includes a hardened insert that lines a surface of an aperture in a shunt. A jacket secured to the shunt receives the insert, which is trapped from movement relative to the jacket.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2006Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: William Rouse, James Hardin, Pete Olenick, John Setterberg

Patent number: 5936973Abstract: A novel synchronous latching scheme is disclosed for use in connection with an EPROM device having a limited number of pins for control signals. A negative edge-triggered d-type master-slave latch having a D-input, and a clock input is provided for generating a program/verify read mode signal. The D-input is coupled to a V.sub.pp /OE control terminal of the EPROM, while the clock input is coupled to a CE/PGM control terminal. During a program interval, while an enabled memory cell is being programmed, and the V.sub.pp control terminal is at a supervoltage, the latch is operable to capture the high level on such control terminal, and provide the high level as an output to define a verify read mode signal. During an immediately-following program verify read interval, the asserted verify mode signal is used to adjust the sense amplifier of the EPROM device so as to provide an increased read margin. During such verify program interval, the V.sub.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Simon John Lovett, A.

Patent number: 5496861Abstract: Emulsion-containing cosmetic compositions, wherein the emulsion comprises an aqueous dispersion of 15 to 40% solids, by weight, of an enzymatically degraded starch, which starch has been debranched by treatment with an alpha-1,6-D-glucanohydrolase to yield up to 100%, by weight, short chain amylose, are provided herein. Also provided are oil-free cosmetic compositions and cosmetic stick compositions, comprising 1 to 16% enzymatically debranched starch; 2 to 35% water; 35 to 90% hydrophobic base, selected from the group consisting of oil, wax and fat, and 5 to 20% emulsifier(s), with the balance of the compositions comprising one or more adjuncts selected from dye(s), fragrance(s), flavor(s), sunscreen agent(s), opacifier(s), and filler(s). Also provided is a method for formulating a cosmetic stick composition.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1994Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: William Rouse, 3, Maria Valles, Gary T. Martino, Chung-Wai Chiu

Patent number: 5033874Abstract: Bearings of the pillow block type are protected by a cover which extends over the pillow block and is shaped to substantially follow the contour of the pillow block and includes a slit from a lower edge of the device to an opening for allowing the shaft to pass into the cover to the opening. The cover is formed from polypropylene which is highly flexible and resistant to impact damage. Grease can be inserted into a recess or clearance between the end face of the bearing and the inside surface of the cover. In an alternative arrangement, the cover can be formed in two parts to be clamped on respective sides of plates supporting the bearing. Again there is provided a slit and a central opening to be inserted over the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1990Date of Patent: July 23, 1991Assignee: William W. YarntonInventor: William Rouse
