Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090103988RETAINING WALL AND BLOCKS FOR THE FORMATION THEREOF - A block having at least one front face, at least one back face, sides connecting the front and back faces, a top surface, a bottom surface and at least one cavity passing through the entire height of the block from the top surface to the bottom surface, wherein the cavity is positioned so that the centre of mass of the block lies closer to the back face than does the geometric centre of the block.04-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100186009Parameterized Installation Packages - An installation package may have metadata concerning optional parameters for a software package to be installed. The metadata may be read by an installation system, and a user interface presented to a user for input on the parameters values. The installation system may store the parameters for later replication of the installation. The installation system may perform the installation on a local device or a remote device, and may further be capable of presenting the user interface on another device. In some embodiments, the metadata may be available to the installation system without having to open the installation package.07-22-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100242032NETWORK APPLICATION VERSIONING - A system and method for managing application version changes on a network server. A backup is made of a deployed application version. When an update version of the application is to be deployed, a backup of the current application, including dynamic data, is performed. The update version is deployed and automatically monitored. If the update version is determined to be healthy, it is backed up. If it is determined to not be healthy, the previous version is automatically retrieved and deployed. An application skeleton may be automatically generated to facilitate comparison and backups of the application.09-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100185856Stateless Agent - Secure and stateless data transfer between a source agent at a first computer system and a destination agent at a second computer system is provided. A first list of labels of content structures is generated at the first computer system. During a first data transfer session, the first list, authentication information, at least one object included in the content structures, and file identifiers for one or more files included in the content structures are transferred from the first computer system to the second computer system. A second list is generated at the second computer system and received at the first computer system. The second list lists at least one requested file identified by the transmitted file identifier(s). During a second data transfer session, authentication information, the first list, the at least one object, and the requested file(s) are transferred from the first computer system to the second computer system.07-22-2010

20090083738AUTOMATED DATA OBJECT SET ADMINISTRATION - Modern computer systems may comprise massive sets of data objects of various types, such as data files, application binaries, database objects, proprietary objects managed by applications such as email systems, and system configuration information. Applying complex operations, such as archiving and synchronization operations, to many and varied data objects may be difficult to perform manually or through a script. A more advantageous technique involves applying data object managers to the data object set, where such data object managers are configured to apply various rule comprising a task to be performed on the data object set in furtherance of the operation to various data object types in the data object set. Additionally, the data object set may be modeled as a hierarchical data object set map, to which the rules may be applied through the data object managers in a more uniform manner.03-26-2009
20100185582Web Deployment Functions and Interfaces - Described is a technology in which a destination machine (e.g., a server) is synchronized with source data via an API, including to configure the destination machine. The API includes functions for specifying the source data, the destination machine, and the deployment/synchronization type, along with a function for synchronizing the source data to the destination machine. The API allows combining content, configuration data and/or database data into a single unit (object). The API handles communication with a service/agent on the destination machine that configures that destination machine based on the source data. The API may include functions for packaging web applications, deploying web applications, synchronizing websites, deploying archive data, and/or deploying manifest data. In this manner, deployment/synchronization (including backup operations) may be performed against a group of objects using an API.07-22-2010
20100186082Web Management Authorization and Delegation Framework - Described is a technology in which a non-administrator computer/web user is allowed to perform an administrative-level task within a certain context and/or scope. An authorization store is queried based on information (e.g., a provider, a username, and a path) provided with an authorization request, e.g., from an application via an API. The information in the authorization store, set up by an administrator, determines the administrative action is allowed. If so, a credential store provides credentials that allow the action to be runs before reverting the user to the prior set of credentials. Also described is a pluggable provider model through which the authorization store and/or delegation store are accessed, whereby the data maintained therein can be any format and/or at any location known to the associated provider.07-22-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100079018Combination to support and rotatably drive mass - A combination for use in supporting and rotatably driving a mass is disclosed. The combination may have a power source. The combination may also have a flywheel, which may be configured to connect with and rotatably drive the mass. The flywheel may have a flywheel end, which may have a plurality of flywheel protrusions. Additionally, the combination may have a bearing, which may be situated at least partially within the power source. The bearing may be configured to support and at least partially house the flywheel. In addition, the combination may have a crankshaft, which may be shaped to connect with and rotatably drive the flywheel. The crankshaft may have a crankshaft end, which may have a plurality of crankshaft protrusions. The plurality of crankshaft protrusions may be shaped to mesh with the plurality of flywheel protrusions.04-01-2010
