20100043005 | SYSTEM RESOURCE MANAGEMENT MODERATOR PROTOCOL - A method, system, and computer program product for managing system resources within a data processing system. A resource management moderator (RMM) utility assigns a priority to each application within a group of management applications, facilitated by a RMM protocol. When a request for control of a particular resource is received, the RMM utility compares the priority of the requesting application with the priority of the controlling application. Control of the resource is ultimately given to the management application with the greater priority. If the resource is not under control of an application, control of the resource may be automatically granted to the requester. Additionally, the RMM utility provides support for legacy applications via a “manager of managers” application. The RMM utility registers the “manager of managers” application with the protocol and enables interactions (to reconfigure and enable legacy applications) between the “manager of managers” application and legacy applications. | 02-18-2010 |

20140050428 | REPLACEABLE ROLLER BEARING - A turret/vessel bearing arrangement and method for replacing bearings in situ without removing other bearings. The bearings are capable of being separated. A removable axial spacer secures the vessel and the turret into engagement with the upper and lower thrust bearings. Removal of the spacer allows increased separation between vessel and turret flanges that sandwich the thrust bearings. The mid radial bearing assembly includes one or more radially arranged bearing pads that allow for limited axial displacement of the turret with respect to the vessel during thrust bearing replacement while still bearing radial loads and allowing rotation. The addition of a temporary thrust bearing allows the vessel to weathervane about the turret while thrust bearing are replaced in situ. | 02-20-2014 |
