20100327858 | Pipeline Inspection Tool with Double Spiral EMAT Sensor Array - A pipeline inspection tool includes two pole magnets oriented at an oblique angle relative to the central longitudinal axis of the tool body. An array of sensor coil sets is located between opposing edges of the two pole magnets and oriented perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. Each sensor coil set includes a transmitter coil and two opposing pairs of receiver coils that are gated to receive reflections from the wall of a tubular member. Because the line of sensor coils is rotated relative to the magnetic bias field, the receiver coils are in-line with, and have the same angular orientation as, the transmitter coil. The tool provides improved sensitivity to small defects, substantial decrease in RF pulser power requirements, full circumferential coverage, self-calibration of the transmitted signals, and less interference between transmitter coils caused by acoustic ring around. | 12-30-2010 |
20100327859 | Pipeline Inspection Tool with Oblique Magnetizer - A pipeline inspection tool has an even number “n” of spiraled pole magnets spaced equidistant apart and spanning the length of the tool. Each pole magnet, which preferably has a conformable upper surface, is rotated or spiraled about the tool body so that a second end of each pole magnet is offset a predetermined amount “α” relative to a first end of that same pole magnet. The amount of rotation α applied to each of the pole magnets produces a magnetic field oblique to the central longitudinal axis of the tool body (and therefore the pipe) and one that covers 360° of the internal wall surface of the pipe. A helical-shaped array of magnetic flux sensors may be arranged about the tool body and substantially equidistant between adjacent pairs of pole magnets. The tool detects axially oriented, circumferentially oriented, and volumetric anomalies and allows for single pass inspection. | 12-30-2010 |

20120102067 | DYNAMICALLY SPLITTING MULTI-TENANT DATABASES - An online service includes managed databases that include one or more tenants (e.g. customers, users). A multi-tenant database may be split between two or more databases while the database being split continues processing requests. For example, web servers continue to request operations on the database while content is being moved. After moving the content, tenant traffic is automatically redirected to the database that contains the tenant's content. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102199 | PLACING OBJECTS ON HOSTS USING HARD AND SOFT CONSTRAINTS - Objects are placed on hosts using hard constraints and soft constraints. The objects to be placed on the host may be many different types of objects. For example, the objects to place may include tenants in a database, virtual machines on a physical machine, databases on a virtual machine, tenants in directory forests, tenants in farms, and the like. When determining a host for an object, a pool of hosts is filtered through a series of hard constraints. The remaining pool of hosts is further filtered through soft constraints to help in selection of a host. A host is then chosen from the remaining hosts. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102480 | HIGH AVAILABILITY OF MACHINES DURING PATCHING - A cloud manager is utilized in the patching of physical machines and virtual machines that are used within an online service, such as an online content management service. The cloud manager assists in the scheduling of the application of software patches to the machines (physical and virtual) within the network such that the availability of the online service is maintained while machines are being patched. The machines to be patched are partitioned into groups that are patched at different times. Generally, the groups are partitioned into a highly available independent groups of machines such that one or more of the groups that are not currently being patched continue to provide the service(s) of the group that is being patched. The machines (physical and virtual) within each of the groups may be patched in parallel. | 04-26-2012 |
20120102484 | INSTALLING SOFTWARE REMOTELY USING A HIGH PRIVILEGE PROCESS - Software that would not normally be able to be installed on a machine through a remote process is installed by a high privilege installer running on the machine. A request is received from a remote machine to install software on the machine using the high privilege installer. The high privilege installer determines when software that was requested remotely is to be installed. For example, the high privilege installer may monitor an install queue for software to be installed. When there are entries in the install queue, the high privilege installer is used to install the software. When there are no entries in the install queue, the high privilege installer may sleep until there is more software that is identified to be installed. | 04-26-2012 |
20130117738 | Server Upgrades with Safety Checking and Preview - Upgrade control checks may be provided. A user may be notified that at least one upgrade is available. In response to receiving a selection of the at least one upgrade from the user, a check may be made to determine whether the at least one upgrade conflicts with an existing component. If no conflict is detected, the upgrade may be performed. If a conflict does exist, a repair may be attempted. | 05-09-2013 |
20130159344 | DYNAMICALLY SPLITTING MULTI-TENANT DATABASES - An online service includes managed databases that include one or more tenants (e.g. customers, users). A multi-tenant database may be split between two or more databases while the database being split continues processing requests. For example, web servers continue to request operations on the database while content is being moved. After moving the content, tenant traffic is automatically redirected to the database that contains the tenant's content. | 06-20-2013 |

20090313280 | TECHNIQUES FOR EXTRACTING DATA FROM CONTENT DATABASES - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for extracting data from databases of content management applications. Input is received from a user to connect to a database of a content management application. A connection is established to the database. When the database is not part of a current live instance of the content management application, an emulation is performed so that the database is treated like it is actually attached to the current live instance of the content management application. The user is able to browse the database. Unattached databases of a content management application can be managed using one or more commands, such as using an object model or command line. Orphaned databases can be detected and deleted from the content management application. | 12-17-2009 |
20090319582 | DATABASE SNAPSHOT MANAGEMENT - Technologies are described herein for managing database snapshots. One user interface is provided for managing the automated creation and deletion of database snapshots. Parameters are received through the user interface that define how the database snapshots should be created and deleted. Once the parameters are defined, a timer job is executed that causes a DBMS to create and delete the database snapshots according to the specified parameters. A user interface is also provided for manually managing the creation, deletion, and restoration of database snapshots. A request may be received through this user interface to recover data from a database snapshot. In response to such a request, another user interface is provided for specifying the data that should be recovered. Once the data to be recovered has been specified, the desired data is recovered from the database snapshot. | 12-24-2009 |

20100281049 | EXPLORING ATTACHED AND UNATTACHED CONTENT DATABASES - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for searching for and extracting data from databases of content management applications. User input is received to connect to a database or database snapshot of an application, and a connection is established. When the database is not part of a current live instance of the application, an emulation is performed such that the database is treated like it is attached to the current live instance of the application. The user is able to browse and/or search for content, including documents, in the database or database snapshot without having to explore individual site collection structure and user interfaces of individual sites. A site collection user interface (UI), a site selector UI, and/or a list selector UI, for example, provide data entry fields for entering search requirements. Unattached databases can be managed using commands, such as using an object model or command line. | 11-04-2010 |
