A new application from HP, available for public review here. Many computer systems involved in mission critical activities (such as banking, telecom, and stock markets) depend upon a high level of computer reliability. In order to achieve reliable, fault- tolerant computing, many computer systems utilize multiple processors. Processors operate at core voltages set by the manufacturer. When multiple processors are used, the resulting nondeterministic behavior can lead to system failures. This application (Application #11/312201; Publication #20070174746) describes a method, apparatus, and system for tuning core voltages of processors in order to avoid failures. This is the second application from HP and will be available for public review until November 19, 2007.
A new patent application from GE is also available for public review here. When an application server, web server, or the like associated with a centralized application needs to be restarted for some reason, then it is likely that at least some of its users may endure information and data loss or session termination, which are undesirable, inconvenient, and commonly require users to re-log into the application in order to continue use. This application (Application #11/342055; Publication #20070180110) describes a system and method for retaining information in a data management system. Information is still stored on an external database but is retrieved into a memory associated with a server which can be accessed through an interface. Users are able to maintain user sessions and prevent information and data loss or session termination resulting from service interruptions to a data management system. This is the third application from GE and will be available for review until November 26, 2007.
A patent application from independent inventor Roland Pulfer is also available for public review here. Complex systems use a multitude of processes, which are linked to one another, making it very difficult to predict the influence of changes of individual links and parameters on the behavior of the complete system. Since the number of influencing variables increases exponentially with the size of a manufacturing process, company, or project, one may not be able to distinguish relevant from non-relevant variables. Currently, models are directed to a certain, current system condition, which permits an evaluation of current or past characteristic values for assessing the system performance and there exists no possibility of comparing different systems with one another. This application (Application #10/548823; Publication #200070162496) describes a method, a data-processing system and a computer program for the comparison of models of a complex system. It is available for review until November 5, 2007
