International Classification:

G06F009/46

US Classification:

718104

Abstract:

A system for distributing incoming client requests across multiple servers in a networked client-server computer environment processes all requests as a set that occur within a given time interval and collects information on both the attributes of the requests and the resource capability of the servers to dynamically allocate the requests in a set to the appropriate servers upon the completion of the time interval. Preferably, the system includes a request table to collect at least two requests incoming within a predetermined time interval. A request examiner routine analyzes each collected request with respect to at least one attribute. A system status monitor collects resource capability information of each server in a resource table. An optimization and allocation process distributes collected requests in the request table across the multiple servers upon completion of said time interval based on an optimization of potential pairings of the requests in the request table with the servers in the resource table. The optimization and allocation process preferably analyzes metrics maintained in the request table and resource table as part of a relational database to allocate requests to servers based on a minimization of the metric distance between pairings of requests and servers.

International Classification:

B65D 23/00
B29D 22/00

US Classification:

220669, 264132

Abstract:

A food container configured as a decoratable figurine comprising a body configured to hold food having an opening positioned on said body to dispense food from said body. The container having a three dimensional head representation positioned on said body. The container has a cover to seal said opening and at least one item for decoration of said body that is removable and adhered onto said body. The decoratable figurine entices a child to play with the container instead of being immediately discarded leading to high brand recognition and desire to both initially purchase and repurchase product because of its secondary uses other than packaging.
