20140320964 | ANTI-REFLECTING COVERING STRUCTURE WITH A DIFFRACTION GRATING USING RESONANT ELEMENTS - A diffractive device for fitting to a façade of a building, or to any other reflective wall, exposed to electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source located at a distance from the building, the device including a plurality of tubular resonant elements arranged on the façade of the building, where the resonant elements are arranged in a substantially parallel manner on the façade of the building in such a way as to form a diffraction grating and are oriented in a substantially perpendicular direction to the plane defined by the propagation vectors of the incident and reflected electromagnetic waves, each resonant element being configured to form an LC resonator capable of re-radiating a wave corresponding to the incident wave affected by a phase shift; the set of resonant elements being arranged in such a way that the incident wave is diffracted in a preferential direction. | 10-30-2014 |
20150270621 | DIFFRACTION DEVICE INTENDED TO BE FIXED ONTO THE OUTER FACE OF A WALL - An electromagnetic wave diffraction device for fixing onto an outer wall face comprising a plurality of electrically conductive resonant elements having an L-shaped profile fixed parallel on the outer face. Each element comprises a first and second wall secured at right angles to one another along a common edge. The first wall is fixed at a right angle to the outer face by a fixing edge parallel to the common edge. The second wall has a free edge parallel to the common edge. The free edges of all elements are parallel and arranged on the same side relative to the common edge of the corresponding element. A weather protection arrangement for reinforcing the protection of a capacitive area generated in a space between the outer face and the second wall, in the form of a water impermeable dielectric material panel, is fixed to the outer face and covers the elements. | 09-24-2015 |

20150257586 | SINGLE-SERVE BEVERAGE PRODUCTION MACHINE - A single-serve beverage preparation device including a multi-chambered basket unit having a first cartridge-receiving chamber and a second cartridge-receiving chamber is provided. The first cartridge-receiving chamber is configured to receive a first cartridge of a first beverage type and the second cartridge-receiving chamber is configured to receive a second cartridge of a second beverage type. The device includes a reader configured to read a code or tag associated with a single-serve beverage cartridge containing one or more beverage ingredients. The device can include a controller configured to determine a beverage type of the single-serve beverage cartridge from the code or tag and to cause the multi-chambered basket unit to present the cartridge-receiving chamber corresponding to the determined beverage type in a position to receive a single-serve beverage cartridge. | 09-17-2015 |

20100281488 | DETECTING NON-REDUNDANT COMPONENT DEPENDENCIES IN WEB SERVICE INVOCATIONS - Relationships between components in an application and the services they provide are identified, including redundant caller-callee sequences. Specific components of interest are instrumented to obtain data when they execute. Data structures are created which identify the components and their dependencies on one other. To avoid excessive overhead costs, redundant dependencies are identified. A dependency data structure can be provided for each unique dependency. When repeated instances of a dependency are detected, the associated dependency data structure can be augmented with correlation data of the repeated instances, such as transaction identifiers and sequence identifiers. Sequence identifiers identify an order in which a component is called. A flag can be used to force the creation of a new dependency data structure, and a calling component's name can be used instead of a sequence identifier. Agents report the dependency data structures to a manager to provide graph data in a user interface. | 11-04-2010 |

20090216874 | MONITORING ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSACTIONS WITHIN SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE - A monitoring system is used to monitor extended business transactions comprised of asynchronous messages. Each message may be a request or a response of an application transaction request-response pair and may be identified with a unique identifier. The unique identifier may be used to identify two or more asynchronous messages, where each extended business transaction may be associated with one or more unique identifiers to identify messages that comprise the business transaction. The extended business transactions are completed over an extended period of time and implemented over several different machines which may or may not be in communication with each other are monitored. Alerts are generated when messages of the extended business transaction do not satisfy a threshold or other criteria, such as a time period for occurring. A user interface or other mechanism may be used to configure the transactions and provide information regarding the status of the transactions and alerts generated for uncompleted portions of the transaction. | 08-27-2009 |
