Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110144794TOOL BIT MONITORING FOR ON-VEHICLE BRAKE LATHE - A system and method for monitoring the contact of tool bits of a lathe with surfaces of a brake disk being machined employs a vibration sensor coupled to the lathe. Signals from the vibration sensor are processed as time-averaged segments that can be grouped within time intervals; a microprocessor employs a qualifying routine to compare the signal level to a background noise threshold value and indicates as “failed” those time periods where the average signal level is not above the background noise threshold. An accumulator records the indications over a number of intervals and compares the result to a standard to make a determination of whether the lathe is likely actively cutting the disk surfaces. To isolate intermittent, high-intensity noises, a consistency routine can check further to see whether individual segments within an interval fall within a range based on the average signal level for that interval.06-16-2011

20100043005SYSTEM 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
20100293161AUTOMATICALLY AVOIDING UNCONSTRAINED CARTESIAN PRODUCT JOINS - Database queries for retrieving data from database tables, that do not impose any constraints on the data to be retrieved, result in Cartesian product joins. Such unconstrained database queries when executed impose a significant load on resources, take a long time to execute, and may produce inaccurate and misleading results. Functionality can be implemented to reduce the amount of data retrieved by constraining database queries resulting in Cartesian product joins before they are executed. This can be done by leveraging referential constraints that depict relationships between the tables to be joined to limit the results produced by executing the Cartesian product join. Automatically detecting and preventing execution of Cartesian product joins by leveraging the referential constraints can reduce the processing load on the machine, reduce the time spent in executing the database query, minimize the number of query results, and prevent inaccurate results from being displayed.11-18-2010
