| 20090070697 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SERVERS OF A DATA CENTER - A system and method for monitoring devices such as servers in one or more data centers. In one embodiment of the method a first graphical user interface is displayed on a computer system such as a desktop computer system. The first graphical user interface may include first and second graphical elements corresponding to first and second system racks, respectively, within a data center. The first system rack may include a plurality of computer systems such as servers. The second system rack may also include a plurality of computer systems such as servers. The first graphical element may include first visual information identifying a location of the first system rack on a floor within the data center, and the second graphical element may include second visual information identifying a location of the second system rack on the floor within the data center. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100217849 | Automatic Administration of UNIX Commands - Various techniques for automatically administering UNIX commands to target systems are disclosed. One method involves receiving information identifying a UNIX command and additional information identifying one or more target systems. The method then issues N instances of the UNIX command in parallel to the one or more target systems, where N is an integer greater than one. The N instances of the UNIX command are issued automatically, in response to receipt of the information and the additional information. In some situations, issuing the N instances of the UNIX command in parallel involves creating N threads, where each of the N threads is configured to issue a respective one of the N instances of the UNIX command to a respective one of the target systems. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20100084075 | Strength enhancement of carbon-carbon composite brake pads using fiber pre-stressing - This invention relates to an improved carbon-carbon composite material and method of preparation. The carbon-carbon composite material comprises a plurality of carbon fiber substrates that have been joined or consolidated. In the present invention, the carbon fibers are stressed during the preparation of the composite material. The invention comprises adding a low-melting point pitch to the carbon fiber substrates and heat treating the carbon fiber substrates. The fibers tend to shrink more than the pitch during heat-treatment which produces stress in the fibers. This invention enhances the strength of the composite material and improves reliability. | 04-08-2010 |
