20160098310 | DEVICE DRIVER ERROR ISOLATION ON DEVICES WIRED VIA FSI CHAINED INTERFACE - Fault isolation for a computer system having multiple FRUs in an FSI chain uses logic embedded in a device driver to determine first failure data and a logical error identifier. The logical error identifier represents a hardware logical area of the fault. The fault is then mapped to a segment of the system based on a self-describing system model which includes FRU boundary relationships for the devices. Operation of the device driver is carried out by a flexible service processor. The device driver uses the first failure data to identify a link at a failure point corresponding to the fault and determine a failure type at the link, then maps the link and the failure type to the logical error identifier. After identifying the segment, the device driver can generate a list of callouts of the field replaceable units associated with the segment which require replacement. | 04-07-2016 |

20160125546 | SYSTEM TO ADMINISTER RISK TRANSFER AND PROPERTY SALVAGE RECOVERY - According to some embodiments, data may be received indicative of a plurality of insurance claims. A risk transfer opportunity platform processor may, based on the received data, identify an insurance claim as being associated with a potential risk transfer opportunity. For the identified insurance claim, the risk transfer opportunity platform processor may automatically arrange for a potential risk transfer user interface to be displayed to a claim handler and may receive, via the potential risk transfer user interface, recovery details from the claim handler, including an overall total damage value and a high and low risk transfer value. A summary report may then be automatically generated for a plurality of insurance claims based in part on the recovery details received from the claim handler, and an indication of the summary report may be transmitted. | 05-05-2016 |

20140022775 | TOILET BOWL FINIAL NIGHT LIGHT - The toilet bolt finial night light provides a moisture-proof cover for the anchor bolts of the toilet having a low-power illumination and automatic light sensing switch capability. The toilet bolt finial night light automatically illuminates in a low ambient light environment, and automatically reverts to no illumination when the ambient light of the environment is a bright level. Additionally, the toilet bolt finial night light has a manual ON/OFF switching capability, which overrides the light sensor switch. In addition, the toilet bolt finial night light has translucent and interchangeable tops for providing selecting decorative embellishments. This permits many decorative options. For example, thematic or seasonal ornamentations can be used. | 01-23-2014 |

20110219667 | LIPID-BASED WAX COMPOSITIONS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF FAT BLOOM AND METHODS OF MAKING - Lipid-based wax compositions and their methods of making are provided for compositions substantially free of fat bloom. The compositions comprise approximately 7-80 percent by weight triacylglycerides and approximately 20-93 percent by weight monoacylglycerides and diacylglycerides combined. The methods comprise blending the monoacylglycerides, diacylglycerides, and triacylglycerides in the lipid-based wax composition by heating the lipid-based wax composition at a sufficiently high temperature to destroy substantially all crystal structure within the lipid-based wax composition. The methods further comprise pouring the lipid-based wax composition into a mold or a container having a surface and a core, wherein the pouring is conducted at a temperature at least 15° C. greater than the congeal point of the lipid-based wax composition. The methods further comprise cooling the lipid-based wax composition under conditions sufficient to cool the core to at least 5° C. below the congeal point of the lipid-based wax composition in approximately 30-90 minutes. | 09-15-2011 |

20140143787 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN CLUSTER COMPUTING - Embodiments of an event-driven resource management technique may enable the management of cluster resources at a sub-computer level (e.g., at the thread level) and the decomposition of jobs at an atomic (task) level. A job queue may request a resource for a job from a resource manager, which may locate a resource in a resource list and grant the resource to the job queue. After the resource is granted, the job queue sends the job to the resource, on which the job may be partitioned into tasks and from which additional resources may be requested from the resource manager. The resource manager may locate additional resources in the list and grant the resources to the resource. The resource sends the tasks to the granted resources for execution. As resources complete their tasks, the resource manager is informed so that the status of the resources in the list can be updated. | 05-22-2014 |
