Title: System for providing the necessary data to an application running on a Blade Server
Inventor: SHOKAWA TAKASHI
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A server blade environment includes a management blade and a managed blade. The management blade manages service data necessary for the service of the application in the managed blade. The managed blade can create a service data list which represents the service data necessary for the service of the application, and transmit the list to the management blade. When the management blade receives the service data list, it transmits, to the managed blade, the service data that it requested before the service of the application starts. In another embodiment, the managed blade will, if the service data sent to it does not contain all of the necessary data, request the absent data from the management blade. This is achieved by carrying out the same procedure as above: a service data list is created and transmitted to the management server. Further, if the service data contains data that is not necessary for the service of the application, then only the relevant service data is extracted and provided to the application. Thus, the application to be executed on the managed server blade will have all of the required data for its boot-up before it is initialised.

Filed: 1937-04-12
Abstract: 470,245. Rolling. SCHLOEMANN AKT.- GES. April 12, 1937, No. 10407. Convention date, April 11, 1936. [Class 83 (iv)] The bearing blocks 6, 7 of the middle roll 3 of a three-high rolling mill are supported by pivoted pawls 12, 13 which can be swung out of the way to allow free upward withdrawal of the rolls and their bearing blocks. The rolls may be mounted in an interchangeable frame 9 removable as a unit from the housing 1 along with the top closing cover 10 when lifted. The upper pawl 12 is forced inwards about its pivot 14 to take the pressure of the bearing block 6 by means of a wedge 19 pulled outwards by a hand turned screwed sleeve 19<1>. The lower pawl 13 when swinging in takes the weight of the lower bearing block 7 and on account of the slot 17 bears on the side frame at 13<11> which thus receives the pressure. The frame 9 is coupled to the top closing cover 10 by bolts 20 for lifting out the roll unit and separation is effected by hand turning the bolts 20 so that flat parts thereon can come out of slots in the frame 9. When the frame is being lifted out, the pawls are automatically released from engagement. When replaced, the tightening of the wedges 19 causes the top pawls 12 to bear against the main frames and so steady the interchangeable framing in the housing.
