US Patent:

8566459, Oct 22, 2013

Filed:

May 29, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/475214

Inventors:

Michael P. DeHaan - Morrisville NC, US
William F. Peck - Douglas MA, US

Assignee:

Red Hat, Inc. - Raleigh NC

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709228, 715224

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for integrated console management in networks populated by a diverse set of console types. A set of managed machines, such as personal computers or other clients, servers, hosts, and/or other machines, can be managed by a network management platform. Different machines populating the managed network can be accessed or controlled by different types of network management consoles, or client interfaces for monitoring and controlling different sets of machines. The network management platform or other node can maintain a console management engine which interacts with the various console types connected or assigned to underlying target machines. The console management engine can maintain a console translation table which invokes particular interfaces, data formats, ports, and/or other parameters of specific console packages used for underlying sets of machines. The console management engine can thereby present a unified interface to systems administrators or other users.

William F. Peck - Douglas MA, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/26
G06F 15/173

US Classification:

713330, 709223, 713300, 718 1

Abstract:

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for power management in a managed network having hardware-based and virtual resources. A network management platform can host a power management engine to configure and manage the power operations of a mixed set of hardware-implemented and virtual machines. The virtual machines can be instantiated, for instance, via a mainframe platform and/or a cloud computing environment. The power management engine can maintain a power management settings indicating power management rules or preferences for the managed network. The power management settings can contain rules or commands, for instance, to sequence the power-on or power-off order between different hardware-implemented or virtual machines, based for instance on dependency orders or predetermined schedules.

Appl. No.:

5/950944

Inventors:

William P. Peck - La Plata MD

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

F42B 510

US Classification:

102 38PP

Abstract:

A gas-generating propellant for use in combination with sealed volume teloping cartridges yields high pressure for cartridge operation and low residual pressure after cool down. The propellant formulation comprises a high percentage of condensible materials including a binder and an oxidizer and an optional fuel such as light metals and light metal compounds represented by boron, lithium, and lithium aluminum hydride.
