20090083399 | NETWORK TRAFFIC ROUTING - A service appliance is installed between production servers running service applications and service users. The production servers and their service applications provide services to the service users. In the event that a production server is unable to provide its service to users, the service appliance can transparently intervene to maintain service availability. To maintain transparency to service users and service applications, service users are located on a first network and production servers are located on a second network. The service appliance assumes the addresses of the service users on the second network and the addresses of the production servers on the first network. Thus, the service appliance obtains all network traffic sent between the production server and service users. While the service application is operating correctly, the service appliance forwards network traffic between the two networks using various network layers. | 03-26-2009 |
20090083443 | AUTONOMOUS SERVICE BACKUP AND MIGRATION - A service appliance is installed between a production server running a service applications and service users.

As additional service data is added to or modified by the service application of the production server, the service appliance automatically updates its replica of the data. In the event that a production server is unable to provide its service to users, the service appliance can transparently intervene to maintain service availability using the replica of the data. When an operational production server is connected with the service appliance, the service appliance can automatically copy its service data to the service application of the operational production server. The operational production server can be the same as the original production server or a new production server. | 03-26-2009 |

20110079674 | Retractable Loading Dock Leveler Cover - The present invention provides a system to quickly and easily employ a thermal/wind barrier over the surface of a mechanical dock leveler. Dock levelers used in structures with loading docks allow air transfer and thermal conductivity into the loading dock area from the outside environment through joints and openings in and around the dock leveler, when the leveler is not in use, causing economic loss of climate controlled air. The present invention provides a system to employ a thermal/wind barrier over the surface of a dock leveler when it is not being used, so as to prevent this loss. The barrier is deployed and retracted by use of a detent clutch operated spooling mechanism. The spooling mechanism is enclosed in a housing which is mounted to the inside, bottom surface of a loading dock door. An alternative embodiment uses an electric motor to deploy and retract the barrier. | 04-07-2011 |

20110006663 | Ultraminiature Broadband Light Source and Method of Manufacturing Same - An ultraminiature light source using a double-spiral shaped tungsten filament includes end contact portions which are separated to allow for radial and length-wise unwinding of the spiral. The double-spiral filament is spaced relatively far apart at the end portions thereof so that contact between portions of the filament upon expansion is avoided. The light source is made by fabricating a double-spiral ultraminiature tungsten filament from tungsten foil and housing the filament in a ceramic package having a reflective bottom and a well wherein the filament is suspended. A vacuum furnace brazing process attaches the filament to contacts of the ceramic package. Finally, a cover with a transparent window is attached onto the top of the ceramic package by solder reflow in a second vacuum furnace process to form a complete hermetically sealed package. | 01-13-2011 |
