20090034537 | TEMPORAL AFFINITY-BASED ROUTING OF WORKLOADS - Techniques for routing client requests among a group of nodes offering a service are described. A coordinator determines that performance could be improved by using affinity-based routing. In one embodiment, the coordinator calculates a Time-to-Live (TTL) metric whereby clients benefit by returning to the same cache and posts this hint to subscribers. Client's start preserving locality data in an affinity context, such that later requests for a connection can be routed to the location last visited. The coordinator measures the system over subsequent intervals. If the gradient of the goodness (viz service quality and capacity) is stable or improving, then the coordinator continues to advise subscribers to use the affinity-based technique. Alternatively, if the gradient of the goodness is deteriorating, then the coordinator posts advice to the subscribers to stop using the affinity-based technique for any instance during the next intervals. | 02-05-2009 |
20110179173 | CONDITIONAL DEPENDENCY IN A COMPUTING CLUSTER - A method and apparatus is provided for automatically performing an operation for one or more resources of a computing cluster when a conditional dependency is satisfied. The conditional dependency may be based on the operating state, load, performance metric, or performance statistic of one or more other resources. A resource profile for a resource stores a conditional dependency that, when satisfied, causes a centralized policy engine to send a command to the resource or an agent for the resource. The policy engine receives notifications of operating state changes from agents that manage resources in the cluster. The policy engine determines that one or more conditional dependencies is satisfied when one or more resources change state to satisfy conditions specified by the conditional dependencies. The policy engine responds to detecting that a conditional dependency is satisfied by sending a command that causes the dependent resource to change its operating state. | 07-21-2011 |

20110237769 | Polymers of isoprene from renewable resources - It has been found that certain cells in culture can convert more than about 0.002 percent of the carbon available in the cell culture medium into isoprene. These cells have a heterologous nucleic acid that (i) encodes an isoprene synthase polypeptide and (ii) is operably linked to a promoter. In some cases, these cells are cultured in a culture medium that includes a carbon source, such as, but not limited to, a carbohydrate, glycerol, glycerine, dihydroxyacetone, one-carbon source, oil, animal fat, animal oil, fatty acid, lipid, phospholipid, glycerolipid, monoglyceride, diglyceride, triglyceride, renewable carbon source, polypeptide (e.g., a microbial or plant protein or peptide), yeast extract, component from a yeast extract, or any combination of two or more of the foregoing. The isoprene produced in such a cultured medium can then be recovered and polymerized into synthetic rubbers and other useful polymeric materials. It is anticipated that there will be a significant demand for synthetic rubber and other isoprene containing polymers that are synthesized using isoprene of this type which is made from renewable, non-petrochemical based resources. In fact, it is believed that industrial customers and consumers would prefer to purchase isoprene containing polymers that are derived from such environmentally friendly sources to those that are made with isoprene derived from a petrochemical process. It is further believed that customers would be willing to pay premium prices for such environmentally friendly products that are made with renewable resources. However, it is important to be able to verify that such isoprene containing polymers are actually made from non-petrochemical based resources. The synthetic isoprene containing polymers of this invention offer the benefit of being verifiable as to being derived from non-petrochemical based resources.

20080262587 | EXTENDABLE AND RETRACTABLE LEAD HAVING A SNAP-FIT TERMINAL CONNECTOR - A lead having an extendable and retractable fixation mechanism has a rotating terminal pin at the terminal end which rotates the fixation mechanism at the distal end. As the terminal pin is rotated, the fixation mechanism is extended or retracted from the distal end of the lead. A threaded collar allows for the fixation mechanism to smoothly extend and retract from the lead, and allows for a 1:1 turn ratio between the terminal pin and the fixation mechanism. A fluoroscopic ring disposed at the distal end of the lead provides information during the implantation process. | 10-23-2008 |

20080234411 | Thickener composition and method for thickening aqueous systems - A composition and method whereby the same group that is attached to or within the backbone of an associative thickener is reversibly switched between being hydrophilic and hydrophobic in nature. When the group that is attached to or within the backbone is rendered hydrophilic, the aqueous thickener is pourable and readily incorporated into aqueous polymer compositions. When this group is rendered hydrophobic, the thickener performs its thickening function efficiently. Switching is readily accomplished by adjusting the pH of the associative thickener composition and the aqueous polymer composition being thickened. | 09-25-2008 |
