20080236722 | Fibrous product and method and apparatus for making the product - A nonwoven fibrous insulation product has at least a bi-modal fiber diameter distribution designed to provide the product with selected thermal insulating and physical performance properties that are affected by fiber diameter such as rigidity and recovery properties. The product is made by: forming two or more fiber groupings that each have a selected fiber diameter distribution with a selected mean fiber diameter wherein the selected fiber diameter distributions of the fiber groupings differ from each other. The fibers of the fiber groupings are intermingled and entangled together in selected percentages by weight to form a product with a selected density and thickness that exhibits selected product performance properties based on the properties of the fiber groupings and the relative percentages by weight of the fiber groupings. | 10-02-2008 |
20080250818 | Fiberizing bushing and method for fiberizing molten material - Fiberizing bushings for fiberizing molten materials including molten glass are heated by applying a voltage drop across the bushings wherein molten material flows through an array of hollow tips attached to, or integral with, a tip plate having orifices therein that generally align with channels through the hollow tips to form fibers. The uniformity of the diameter of the fibers produced is much improved by using tips of different lengths and/or tips having channels of differing ID's to compensate for unequal electrical heating and/or cooling effects of drawn-in ambient air that cools the tips on the extreme outer periphery and/or cooling or heating effects of external supports or cooling members running through the array of tips that cools or heats adjacent tips more than the interior tips. | 10-16-2008 |

20120297838 | TRANSVERSE ROW BUSHINGS AND METHODS WITH FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT - An exemplary bushing systemutilizes a bushing having a bottom plate having a plurality of holes from which filaments are drawn, and a plurality of support-receiving elements that are each configured to receive an elongated support. The support-receiving elements extend through the bushing generally along a longitudinal axis. A frame supports the bushing and includes a pair of horizontal rails upon which the supports rest. The horizontal rails comprise a treated surface that permits movement of the elongated supports relative to the frame in the longitudinal direction as the bushing expands and contracts due to thermal heating and cooling. | 11-29-2012 |
20120297839 | TRANSVERSE ROW BUSHINGS HAVING CERAMIC SUPPORTS - A bushing system includes a bushing having a bottom plate with a plurality of holes from which filaments are drawn. At least one elongated support extends through the bushing generally along a longitudinal axis to hold and stabilize the bushing. To handle the harsh conditions under which the bushing is subjected, the support comprises an alumina-based ceramic that generally resists sagging or excessive expansion and contraction during heating and cooling. | 11-29-2012 |

20090006063 | TUNING AND OPTIMIZING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS WITH DECLARATIVE MODELS - A system for automatically adjusting operation of a distributed application program includes analytics means having a monitoring component. The monitoring component receives one or more event streams of data corresponding to execution of one or more modules of the distributed application program. The monitoring component joins the received event streams with one or more declarative models to create operational data. A forensics component of the analytics means queries, such as by using data from a declarative model store, the operational data to identify trends or behavior information for the various modules or components of the distributed application program. A planner component then reviews data created by the forensics component to identify any needed changes to the declarative models. The planner component passes any modified declarative models back to the system, so that the distributed application program can operate more efficiently using the changes to the declarative models, as needed. | 01-01-2009 |
20090112559 | MODEL-DRIVEN, REPOSITORY-BASED APPLICATION MONITORING SYSTEM - Enabling and processing events. To enable events, an application model correlated to an application is declaratively defined. The application model describes operations of the application. One or more event models correlated to the application model are declaratively defined. The event models describe application execution locations where events are desired to be emitted in the execution of the application. Based on the correlation of the event models to the application models, the applications are instrumented with instrumentation code to cause the application to emit events at the execution locations. To process events an application model is defined. The application model includes one or more observation models. The observation models include a correlation of events to the observation model by defining instrumentation models in the application model. An event is received. The event is applied to the observation model based on the correlation. The event is processed according to the observation model. | 04-30-2009 |
