US Classification:

703 2, 703 13, 703 22, 709223

Abstract:

Embodiments of model and system state synchronization are presented herein. An exemplary model of a distributed system includes a plurality of instances where an instance includes an instantiation of a type that includes property values and relationships in the model of the distributed system and includes an associated version history to link each version of an instance to a change request for the distributed a system. Other exemplary methods, systems, devices, etc. are also disclosed.

Filed:

Jul 22, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/757243

Inventors:

Steven L. Nielsen - Bountiful UT

International Classification:

F25D 2302
A23G 900

US Classification:

62302

Abstract:

A modular custard freezing machine housed in a cabinet that consists of interior support members whereto panels are releasably connected and supports components of the machine including: a deep pan in the cabinet top for receiving a custard mix poured therein to pass that mix, on demand, through a valve that directs the mix flow into a freezing barrel of a custard freezing chamber; the custard freezing chamber includes the freezing barrel, a coolant gas chamber therearound with a layer of insulation formed around that freon or other coolant gas chamber and contained within a housing that is mounted to a platform; the platform further includes mounted thereto, aligned bearing mounts whereto aligned bearings are secured to receive a shaft journaled therethrough, the shaft further including a pulley thereon that is turned through a belt by an electric motor, and connected to a collar whereto a shaft of a paddle assembly is splined; which paddle assembly is arranged for turning in the freezing barrel, congealing mix therein, which mix is extruded therefrom through a valve arranged in the cabinet front panel. The platform mounted custard freezing chamber, paddle assembly turned therein and the arrangement for turning that paddle assembly constitute a module that can be easily installed in and removed from the custard freezing machine cabinet for repair or replacement.

Appl. No.:

16/989245

Inventors:

- Raleigh NC, US
Steven Travis Nielsen - Bothell WA, US
Sage Austin Weil - Madison WI, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

Flexible deprovisioning of distributed storage is disclosed. For example, an orchestrator executes on a processor to measure a current storage demand factor based on a current count of service guests and a storage capacity of a plurality of storage nodes. A projected storage demand factor is calculated by (i) adjusting the current count of service guests with a timing factor resulting in a projected count, and (ii) combining the projected count with a storage class associated with the service guests. The orchestrator determines that the projected storage demand factor is lower than the current storage demand factor, and in response requests termination of a first storage node of the plurality of storage nodes based on the first storage node lacking an active communication session with the service guests. Cancel termination of the first storage node based on an association between the first storage node and a second storage node.
