| 20100070319 | ADAPTIVE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An automated configuration management system (ACMS) oversees resources of a virtualized ecosystem by establishing a baseline configuration (including, e.g., security controls) for the resources; and, repeatedly, monitoring and collecting data from the resources, analyzing the data collected, making recommendations concerning configuration changes for the resources of the virtualized ecosystem based on the analysis, and either adopting and implementing the recommendations or not, wherein new states of the virtualized ecosystem and reactions to recommended changes are observed and applied in the form of new recommendations, and/or as adjustments to the baseline. The recommendations may be implemented automatically or only upon review by an administrator before being implemented or not. The various data may be analyzed according to benchmarks established for security and compliance criteria of the resources of the virtualized ecosystem, for example static/pre-defined or dynamically derived benchmarks/best practices. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100071035 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURELY MANAGING VIRTUALIZATION PLATFORM - Virtualization platforms and management clients therefor are communicatively coupled to one another via a control layer logically disposed therebetween. The control layer is configured to proxy virtualization management commands from the management clients to the virtualization platforms, but only after successful authentication of users (which may include automated agents and processes) issuing those commands and privileges of those users as defined by access control information accessible to the control layer. The control layer may be instantiated as an application running on a physical appliance logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or a software package running on dedicated hardware logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients, or as an application encapsulated in a virtual machine running on a compatible virtualization platform logically interposed between the virtualization platforms and management clients. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090084946 | Arrangements for a micro-electro-mechanical system - In one embodiment a micro-electro mechanical system is disclosed. A MEMS structure can include a frame, a movable structure and a set of structural beams to suspend the movable structure from the frame. The system can also include a set of conductor routing beams. The conductor routing beams can provide a conductive path from the frame to the movable structure. The set of structural beams can have a spring rate that is more than ten times the spring rate of the set of conductor routing beams. Accordingly, multiple routing beams can be utilized to support multiple conductors without significantly affecting the mechanical movement or dynamic properties of the movable structure. | 04-02-2009 |
