20130164086 | Glow-in-the-Dark Wetsuit - A glow in the dark wetsuit is disclosed that is visible in low-light conditions. The wetsuit comprises an outer surface visible in low-light conditions with at least one fastener for securing the wetsuit on a user. Preferably, the wetsuit comprises at least one glow in the dark element that is photoluminescent following sufficient exposure to a recharging source. The wetsuit insulates the user from cold water when submerged and protects the user from injury from marine life or from abrasions when diving in the water under any light condition. However, when the user is in or near the water at night, diving deep underwater, or in other low-light scenarios, the glow in the dark element radiates visible light enabling a companion, a dive buddy, or a rescuer to better visualize the user. | 06-27-2013 |
20130165003 | Glow-in-the-Dark Stand Up Paddleboard and/or Wakeboard - A glow in the dark paddleboard and/or wakeboard is disclosed that is visible in low-light conditions. The paddleboard and/or wakeboard comprises a top surface visible in low-light conditions. Preferably, the paddleboard and/or wakeboard comprises at least one glow in the dark element that is photoluminescent following sufficient exposure to a recharging source. The paddleboard and/or wakeboard are used in surface water sports and allow a user to traverse the surface of a body of water. However, when the user is in or near the water at night, or in other low-light scenarios, the glow in the dark element radiates visible light enabling a companion, or a rescuer to better visualize the user, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful retrieval or rescue if required, and also prevents accidents as passing boats and other watercraft are more likely to see the individual and not run them over. | 06-27-2013 |

20090323275 | System and Method for Portable Information Handling System Parallel-Wall Thermal Shield - An information handling system's thermal management is selectively altered by coupling a thermal barrier to the bottom surface of the information handling system chassis so that an air channel insulates against the passage of thermal energy from the bottom surface. A vent opening in a side of the thermal barrier allows airflow through the air channel to a vent opening of the information handling system. The airflow through the air channel cools the base of the thermal barrier so that an end user will experience reduced thermal energy if the information handling system rests on the end user, such as in the end user's lap. | 12-31-2009 |
20140139995 | System and Method for Managing Cooling Airflow for a Multiprocessor Information Handling System - Cooling airflow through an information handling system is redirected at positions of a motherboard having an unpopulated processing component towards positions of the motherboard having processing components.

20080263548 | Process and Implementation for Dynamically Determining Probe Enablement Using Out of Process Correlating Token - The present invention addresses the problem of linking cross-process and cross-thread subtransactions into a single user transaction. The mechanism of the present invention employs bytecode inserted probes to dynamically detect out of process correlating tokens in an inbound request. The bytecode inserted probes retrieve the correlating token in the inbound request. Based on the correlating token retrieved, the bytecode inserted probes are then used to dynamically determine if the inbound user request should be recorded and linked to a transaction that began in another thread or process. | 10-23-2008 |
20090070457 | Intelligent Performance Monitoring of a Clustered Environment - A method, system and computer-usable medium for selectively monitoring transactions in a cluster computing environment are disclosed. A transaction is received by a load balancer. A transaction monitoring manager determines if the received transaction is a candidate for monitoring. If it is, then the resource thresholds defined in the transaction's corresponding TMP are determined. The load balancer is then interrogated to determine which application server instance is assigned to process the transaction. Once determined, resource usage information is collected from the target application server instance and provided to the transaction monitoring manager. The collected resource information is compared to the transaction's corresponding TMP. If resource usage exceeds resource threshold values contained in the TPM, then the transaction is monitored. Otherwise it is not. | 03-12-2009 |
