Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709224, 709223

Abstract:

A continuous availability system including a controller module executing on a computer processor, the system is configured to receive a unit of work and to select a primary site from a plurality of sites to process the unit of work. Once a site is selected the system is further configured to select one of one or more processing systems from the primary site to process the unit of work. The system is additionally configured to replicate the unit of work to at least one other site once the unit of work is completed at the primary site. The system is configured to operate even when the primary site is separated from each of the plurality of sites by a distance greater than a metropolitan area network and the operations occur within a customer acceptability window.

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

714 41, 707622, 714E11054, 707E17005

Abstract:

Continuous workload availability between sites at unlimited distances, which includes receiving a unit of work data. Once the unit of work data has been received the workload that the unit of work data is directed to is determined, and a primary site of a plurality of sites to process the unit of work is chosen. If the processing of the unit of work data is successful, then one of one or more processing systems of the primary site are selected to process the unit of work data, and the unit of work data is replicated to at least one other site. The primary site is separated from each of the plurality of sites by a distance greater than a metropolitan area network (MAN) and operations occur within a customer acceptability window.

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709223

Abstract:

Embodiments include a method, system, and computer program product for maintaining continuous availability. An embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a unit of work data. The unit of work data is distributed among the plurality of workloads using either an active/standby configuration, an active/query configuration, an active/partitioned configuration, or an active/active configuration. A primary workload is selected from a plurality of workloads to process the unit of work data based on a workload distribution rule. It is determined if the primary workload is capable of processing the unit of work data based on user configurable settings. If the primary site is capable of processing the unit of work data then the unit of work data is transmitted to the primary workload. Otherwise the unit of work data is transmitted to a secondary workload. The unit of work data is replicated between the primary workload and the secondary workload.

Inventors:

Michael Fitzpatrick - Hillsborough CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715733

Abstract:

A method and a system for contextual recognition through screen-sharing are provided. Example embodiments may include receiving a data stream related to a presenter screen in a network-based collaboration session from a first user; extracting characteristic data from the data stream; associating added data with the data stream, based on the data; and presenting, in real time, to a second user, a viewer screen including the data stream and the added data. The method may also include recognizing the characteristic data before the extracting of the data.

Appl. No.:

6/701228

Inventors:

Assignee:

Northern Telecom Limited - Montreal

International Classification:

B25G 300
F16D 100

US Classification:

403 16

Abstract:

A latching lever for use with a printed circuit board and being of a width similar to that of a faceplate for the PCB, includes an actuating member and a hooked portion projecting therefrom. The actuating member is flexibly hinged to a body portion of the latching lever by a hinge formation which includes a thick section located in a plane of the hooked portion for defining a preferred resilience of the hinge, and a thinner section away from the thick section for stabilizing the actuating member in relation to the body portion. A stud carried by the PCB is engaged by the hooked portion to latch the lever. The hooked portion is disengaged from the stud by moving the actuating member thereby freeing the lever to rotate about its pivot point. A portion of the body remote from the actuating member and extending beyond the pivot point includes a stop formation for contacting an edge of the PCB to prevent unnecessarily extreme rotation.
