20090300134 | LINEAR PROGRAMMING FORMULATION OF RESOURCES IN A DATA CENTER - An exemplary method for performing work in a data center includes receiving a request for resources in a data center, solving a linear programming formulation that accounts for the request and at least some of the resources in the data center and performing work the request based at least in part on the solving of the linear programming formulation. Such a method can include a linear programming formulation that accounts for multi-core chips and DRAM systems. Various other method, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed. | 12-03-2009 |
20090327493 | Data Center Scheduler - An exemplary data stream includes value information for use by consumers of global computing resources in making requests for global computing resources. An exemplary method includes receiving information about data center resources from one or more data centers, based at least in part on the information estimating value information for consumption of computing resources of the one or more data centers and streaming the value information via a network. An exemplary medium or media includes instructions to instruct a computing device to receive, from a data stream, value information for computing resources of one or more data centers, to format the value information for display and to issue requests for consumption of at least some of the computing resources. Other methods, devices and systems are also disclosed. | 12-31-2009 |
20100318454 | Function and Constraint Based Service Agreements - An exemplary matching module includes instructions for receipt of information about sellable resources for running web-based services; for a solver for minimizing or maximizing a function subject to constraints; and for output of cost information for purchasing or buying sellable resources for running web-based services where the cost information is based at least in part on minimizing or maximizing the function. An exemplary matching module may be configured to receive information in a domain-specific language. Other methods, devices and systems are also disclosed. | 12-16-2010 |

20100000137 | Handheld single shot firearm - A firearm with a stock having an exterior contour that is generally symmetric with respect to opposing end portions, a front edge portion and at least a portion of opposing side surfaces. A barrel extends through the front edge portion of the stock. Two safety release buttons are diametrically opposed to each other with respect to a barrel bore centerline axis and are exposed at a front edge portion of the stock. Two firing mechanism release buttons are each exposed at an exterior surface of the stock at a respective one of the opposing end portions. The firing mechanism actuation buttons are diametrically opposed to each other with respect to the barrel bore centerline axis. Firing of the firearm requires both of the safety release buttons to be depressed thereby allowing either of the firing mechanism actuation buttons to be depressed for firing the firearm. | 01-07-2010 |
20100242329 | COMPACT FOLDABLE HANDGUN - A handgun having a frame with a barrel. The barrel has a muzzle end and a breech end. A handgrip is mounted to the frame to pivot about an axis. The handgrip is movable between a firing position and a storage position. The axis is movable relative to the frame along a path extending in a direction of the barrel wherein the handgrip is movable along the length of the frame to the storage position wherein the handgrip is adjacent the frame. | 09-30-2010 |
20100242330 | COMPACT FOLDABLE HANDGUN - A handgun comprised of a frame having a barrel with a muzzle end and a breech end.
