20130304903 | Market-Based Virtual Machine Allocation - A cloud computing system management system including a plurality of computing devices configured to host virtual machine instances, each computing device in the plurality of computing devices including a local agent that continuously evaluates the observed load relative to a utility maximization function. If observed load is higher than a calculated optimal level, individual loading processes are offered for “sale” via a market scheduler. If observed load is lower than a calculated optimal level, then available capacity is offered as a bid via the market scheduler. The market scheduler matches bids with available processes and coordinates the transfer of load from the selling device to the buying device. The offered prices and utility maximization functions can be employed to optimize the performance of the cloud system as a whole. | 11-14-2013 |

20140138012 | AUTOMATIC MONITORING OF VIBRATION WELDING EQUIPMENT - A vibration welding system includes vibration welding equipment having a welding horn and anvil, a host device, a check station, and a robot. The robot moves the horn and anvil via an arm to the check station. Sensors, e.g., temperature sensors, are positioned with respect to the welding equipment. Additional sensors are positioned with respect to the check station, including a pressure-sensitive array. The host device, which monitors a condition of the welding equipment, measures signals via the sensors positioned with respect to the welding equipment when the horn is actively forming a weld. The robot moves the horn and anvil to the check station, activates the check station sensors at the check station, and determines a condition of the welding equipment by processing the received signals. Acoustic, force, temperature, displacement, amplitude, and/or attitude/gyroscopic sensors may be used. | 05-22-2014 |

20080196877 | Combined Heating & Air Conditioning System for Buses Utilizing an Electrified Compressor Having a Modular High-Pressure Unit - An HVAC system for heating and cooling a passenger compartment of a vehicle is provided. A first heat exchanger transfers heat between a primary loop and a secondary loop. The primary loop is a reversible loop and uses high pressure refrigerant. A compressor pressurizes the refrigerant. A second heat exchanger selectively transfers heat energy to and from the passenger compartment. The secondary loop is a low pressure liquid coolant loop that passes through the first heat exchanger. A pump moves fluid through the secondary loop. A third heat exchanger transfers heat to and from an external medium from the fluid passing through the secondary loop. A secondary heat source adds heat to the secondary loop during a heating mode. A bypass means selectively bypasses the secondary heat source during a cooling mode. | 08-21-2008 |
