20120111154CENTRING MEANS IN A ROTARY TONG - The invention relates to a pipe clamping device comprising a housing which has a tubular centre in which a pipe is to be positioned. The pipe clamping device comprises at least three gripping devices for synchronous movement in towards the pipe. Each gripping device is disposed with a direction of movement in towards the tubular centre, where each gripping device is arranged in order, in contact with the pipe, to provide a holding force. The pipe clamping device is provided with elongate flexible transmission elements, each of the elongate flexible transmission elements being attached to one of the gripping devices and running in contact with at least one support means to attachment to each of the other gripping devices. Upon movement of at least one of the gripping device, this movement is transmitted to at least one of the other gripping device by the associated elongate transmission element. The invention also comprises a pipe clamping device in which there is used at least two gripping devices and a torque tong, of which the pipe clamping device is a part.05-10-2012
20120111155DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ROTATION OF TORQUE TONG - A device for rotation of a torque tong with at least two diametrically opposite circular arc-shaped segments and gripping devices for holding a pipe substantially perpendicularly to the torque tong's radial plane. To each segment and in abutment thereto there is provided at least one elongated flexible drive element operatively connected to support units and devices for movement of the respective drive element so that the torque tong is rotated in the radial plane. Each drive element is attached at first and second ends to respective securing portions and includes an engagement portion in engagement with and/or abutment against a segment. Rotation of the torque tong is implemented by performing a rectilinear movement of a first of said movement elements, and simultaneously implementing a rectilinear movement of the second of said movement elements in the opposite direction to and substantially parallel to the movement of the first movement element.05-10-2012

20120072562PERFORMING PARTIAL SUBNET INITIALIZATION IN A MIDDLEWARE MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can perform subnet initialization in a middleware machine environment. In accordance with one embodiment, a plurality of management nodes in the middleware machine environment can be interconnected so that a plurality of subnet managers that are associated with the plurality of management nodes can communicate with each other using an in-band communication protocol. The plurality of subnet managers can negotiate and elect a master subnet manager, which operates to configure and manage the middleware machine environment. The master subnet manager can replicate one or more subnet initialization policies to other subnet managers in the middleware machine environment using the in-band communication protocol. The master subnet manager can then set up a plurality of client nodes in the middleware machine environment based on the one or more subnet initialization policies.03-22-2012
20120072563SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING WELL DEFINED SUBNET TOPOLOGY IN A MIDDLEWARE MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can support a middleware machine environment. The middleware machine environment can include a subnet manager and a plurality of fabric components, wherein each said fabric component is associated with a subnet management agent (SMA). The subnet manager maintains a topology graph that indicates how ports are connected in the subnet. The subnet manager operates to periodically reevaluate one or more states associated with each fabric component in the subnet by determining whether each SMA is responding correctly to a request.03-22-2012
20120079090STATEFUL SUBNET MANAGER FAILOVER IN A MIDDLEWARE MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can provide stateful subnet manager failover in a middleware machine environment. The system includes a policy daemon associated with each master subnet manager candidate in a subnet in the middleware machine environment. The policy daemon manages one or more policies for the subnet. The system also includes a transactional interface associated with the policy daemon co-located with a current master subnet manager. The transactional interface allows for updating the one or more policies using a policy update transaction. The policy daemon co-located with the master subnet manager operates to replicate the policy update transaction to one or more policy daemons co-located with the subnet managers that are master candidates associated with the master subnet manager, before committing the policy update transaction. Additionally, when the master subnet manager fails, the subnet managers operate to negotiate with each other and elect a new master subnet manager.03-29-2012
20120079580SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING PROTECTION AGAINST RUN-AWAY SUBNET MANAGER INSTANCES IN A MIDDLEWARE MACHINE ENVIRONMENT - A system and method can support a middleware machine environment that includes a set of subnet manager instances, which reside on one or more nodes in the middleware machine environment and cooperate to provide a highly available subnet manager service within a subnet, wherein each said subnet manager instance is associated with a different private secure key. The subnet manager instances can negotiate with each other and elect a master subnet manager responsible for configuring and managing the middleware machine environment using the private secure key associated with the master subnet manager. The subnet can be reconfigured to be associated with a different private secure key, when a new subnet manager instance is elected as the master subnet manager. An old master subnet manager can be automatically prevented from resuming normal operations as the master subnet manager, in order to avoid undesired consequence such as a “split brain” scenario.03-29-2012
