Title: Environmentally cognizant power management
Inventor: MALIK NAIM R
IPC: G06F1/26
Filed: 2009-03-06
Abstract: The innovative system and method increases the efficiency of overall power utilization in data centers by using a power management approach based on a comprehensive, dynamic model of the data center created with integrated environmental and computational power monitoring to correlate power usage with different configurations of business services utilization. This involves intelligent monitoring of thermal conditions and electrical consumption at the relevant electrical power distribution points along with measures of computational load derived from the server hardware behavior, operating systems and application characteristics. The approach also addresses the need and implementation for synchronization of data collection on each such measuring device in the system and the distributed deployments of devices in a heterogeneous environment. The system and method improves the efficiency of electrical power utilization and dynamic computation load balancing capabilities based on application, infrastructure and environmental contexts not present in existing power management solutions.

Abstract: A tray denester for separating individual trays from a stack. The tray denester includes a product carrier plate that is movable toward and away from the discharge end of a product magazine. The product carrier plate includes a pair of air nozzle assemblies.  As the product carrier plate moves toward the discharge end of the magazine, the air nozzle assemblies are activated to create a low-pressure zone along the product carrier plate. When the product carrier plate reaches the discharge end, an escapement mechanism releases the stack of trays. As the stack of trays is released, the low-pressure zone separates one of the trays from the stack. The separated tray contacts the product carrier plate and is removed from the stack. Each of the air nozzle assemblies is adjustable along the product carrier plate to vary the position of the air nozzle assemblies based upon the specific tray design.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining service continuity for User Equipment accessing an IP  Multimedia Subsystem communication network. A    rout-ing identifier is established that identifies a Service Cen-tralization and Continuity Application Server allocated to the User Equipment. The routing identifier is sent to the User Equipment. In the event of disruption to the service between the User Equipment and the Service Centraliza-tion and Continuity Application Server, a handover mes-sage is sent from the User Equipment via a Circuit Switched access network. The handover message includes the routing identifier, and is then forwarded to the identi-fied Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server. This allows the same Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server to be used after the han-dover as was used before the handover, thereby providing service continuity.
