| 20100116806 | AUTOMATED HEATING SYSTEM FOR PORTS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ICING - An improved heating system air pressure sensing port. An example aircraft pitot tube heater uses Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) switching thermistors arranged to automatically sense the outside air temperature and heat to a design set point temperature. When a high outside air temperature is experienced, the pitot tube will not turn on. The pitot tube heater only turns on below the design set point and will consumes less current than the standard aircraft pitot tube heaters when operating at very cold temperatures. Virtually no current is drawn when the pitot tube increases past the set point, thus reducing the power drain on the aircraft system. The use of multiple thermistors gives the example pitot tube a level of failure redundancy that is not available in current pitot tube heaters. | 05-13-2010 |

The failure of the dedicated logical circuit is identified based on status information pertinent to the dedicated logical circuit. The logical failover circuit includes an alternate communication path for communicating the data. When the first logical circuit identifier does not match the second logical circuit identifier, the second logical circuit identifier is renamed to match the first logical circuit identifier. The data is rerouted to the logical failover circuit without manual intervention. | 10-01-2015 |

| 20100192156 | TECHNIQUE FOR CONSERVING SOFTWARE APPLICATION RESOURCES - Systems and methods of adjusting allocated hardware resources to support a running software application are disclosed. A system includes adjustment logic to adjust an allocation of a first hardware resource to support a running software application. Measurement logic measures at least one hardware resource metric associated with the first hardware resource. Service level logic calculates an application service level based on the measured at least one hardware resource metric. When the first application service level satisfies a threshold application service level, the allocation of the first hardware resource is iteratively reduced to reach a reduced allocation level where the application service level does not satisfy the threshold application service level. In response thereto, the allocation of the first hardware resource is increased by an increment, such that the application service level again satisfies the threshold application service level. | 07-29-2010 |
