| 20110194929 | TURBOMACHINE - According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a variable geometry turbine comprising: a turbine wheel mounted for rotation about a turbine axis within a housing, the housing defining an annular inlet surrounding the turbine wheel and defined between first and second inlet sidewalls, the annular inlet being divided into at least two axially offset inlet portions; a cylindrical sleeve axially movable across the annular inlet to vary the size of a gas flow path through the inlet; and a guide for guiding the movement of the cylindrical sleeve, the guide being at least partially located within the inlet at a radially extent of the inlet portions, and extending in an axial direction parallel to the turbine axis. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20100229165 | CONTROLLING JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE COMPONENT BEHAVIOR ON A PER-CLASSLOADER BASIS - A method and system for controlling an operation of a JVM® component on a per-classloader basis. A manifest of a bundle in an OSGi® compliant framework is parsed and metadata in the manifest is identified. The metadata is stored in a Java® classloader uniquely associated with the bundle. An upcoming performance of an operation which can be affected by a value of the stored metadata is identified by the JVM® component. A value of the stored metadata is read from the classloader. The operation of the JVM® component is controlled based on the value of the stored metadata. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090216817 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING GENERATIONAL FILE NAMES FOR DIAGNOSTIC DATA FILES - A system and associated method for utilizing file names for diagnostic data files generated by a runtime environment. The method employs a file counter base that defines a predefined maximum number of files permitted in a file system, a generation number that indicates an instance of the runtime environment, and a file counter that comprises a file name. The file counter circulates by a cycle equal to the file counter base such that the file system uses only a limited disk space. The method determines the generation number per instance of the runtime environment by examining file counters of existing files in the file system. The generation number initializes the file counter for creating file names in the instance of the runtime environment. The method guarantees a longest life span of a diagnostic data file in a file system that has a limited number of files. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100138818 | Computer System and Method for Resolving Dependencies in a Computer System - A computer system and a method are disclosed for use in automatically deploying an application program to execute with one or more library resources. The computer system includes a deployment unit which deploys the application program into a runtime execution environment. When a predetermined trigger condition is detected, the deployment unit clones a first library resource to create a clone, transforms the application to depend upon the clone and resolves the dependencies of the application using the clone. In one embodiment, the trigger condition relates to a pinning situation, whereby a library upon which the application program depends cannot be wired to the application program to resolve the dependency. Here, the clone now satisfies that dependency. In another embodiment, the trigger condition is a mandatory cloning property that requires the library to be cloned. The mandatory cloning property may also be user-specified through a user interface. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20090276767 | Computer System and a Method of Deploying an Application in a Computer System - A computer system has a runtime environment (e.g. Java) and a deployment unit (e.g. in a Spring framework layer) arranged to deploy the application into the runtime environment. The application comprises bundles (e.g. OSGi bundles) with manifest metadata having export statements defining exported packages. The deployment unit comprises a receiver unit to receive the bundles, an extractor unit to examine the metadata and extract the export statements, a converter unit to convert each of the export statements into a corresponding import statement, and a creator unit to add a synthetic bundle having the import statements inserted in its metadata. The deployment unit sets a thread context class loader to delegate class loading to a class loader of the synthetic bundle. Thus, at runtime, classes of the application are only loaded when they are explicitly exported packages as defined by the synthetic bundle. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090276769 | Computer System and a Method of Deploying an Application in a Computer System - A computer system has a runtime environment (e.g. Java) and a deployment system (e.g. a Spring framework layer) arranged to deploy an application into the runtime environment. The application comprises bundles (e.g. OSGi bundles or JSR modules) each with manifest metadata defining dependencies for the respective bundle. A deployment management unit refers to one or more personality specific deployers to determine which of the bundles have a specific personality from a predetermined set of personality types. The personality specific deployers transform the respective personality-specific bundles by inserting one or more additional dependencies into the metadata of the bundle according to their personality type. The deployment management unit applies one or more operations to all of the plurality of bundles, including installing each of the bundles ready for deployment and deploys those bundles not having a specific personality type. The personality specific deployers deploy the personality-specific bundles according to their respective personality types. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20080249103 | Sirtuin polymorphisms and methods of use thereof - Provided herein are methods for diagnosis and prognosis using polymorphic variants of sirtuins. Such polymorphic may be used, for example, to identify subjects that would be responsive to treatment with a sirtuin modulating compound and/or subjects that are suffering from or susceptible to a disease mediated by a sirtuin. Also provided are methods for determining the predictive value of a sirtuin polymorphic variant, methods for evaluating sirtuin modulating compounds, and methods for determining appropriate dosage and/or treatment regimens for subjects having one or more sirtuin polymorphic variants. Screening methods for identifying sirtuin modulating compounds using polymorphic variants of a sirtuin are also provided. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090069301 | Acridine and Quinoline Derivatives as Sirtuin Modulators - Provided herein are novel sirtuin-modulating compounds and methods of use thereof. The sirtuin-modulating compounds may be used for increasing the lifespan of a cell, and treating and/or preventing a wide variety of diseases and disorders including, for example, diseases or disorders related to aging or stress, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, chemotherapeutic induced neuropathy, neuropathy associated with an ischemic event, polyglutamine diseases, ocular diseases and/or disorders, cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, inflammation, cancer, and/or flushing.
