The system for securing equipment includes a locking device attached to equipment to be secured, a plurality of fasteners, and an anchoring device. The locking device can be a U-bolt with threaded ends to attach to a backflow valve of a sprinkler system or locking bolts attached to a park bench or barbecue grill. Each fastener has a first surface with a first threaded hole in alignment with the locking device and a second surface orthogonal to the first surface with a second threaded hole aligned with anchoring device. The anchoring device can be a flat bar fixedly attached to the fasteners at one connector end and permanently mounted in place at an anchoring end. Each fastener has an L-shape, so that a first surface engages the locking device and opposing second surfaces engage the anchoring device. A concrete plug for outdoor use holds the anchoring end in place for permanency.

A manager component of an apparatus in one example handles one or more checkpoint procedures for one or more software components of a distributed software application that runs within a plurality of executables.

Manager component for checkpoint procedures

An apparatus in one example comprises a first manager component that performs one or more first management operations on a software and/or hardware entity and a second manager component that performs one or more second management operations on the software and/or hardware entity.

The time it takes to recover from a system initialization failure may be reduced by determining whether to enable a recovery process immediately, or defer such a process. Sometimes it is desirable to defer a recovery process until certain interdependencies between system components are satisfied.

Methods and devices for recovering from initialization failures

A manager component of an apparatus in one example initializes a plurality of software components of a distributed software application, within one or more executables, in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.

Software component initialization in an ordered sequence

An apparatus in one example comprises a manager component in communication with a distributed software application. The distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components that run within one or more executables. The manager component shuts down the plurality of software components in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.

Shutting down a plurality of software components in an ordered sequence

A distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components within a plurality of executables. A manager component for the distributed software application handles: an addition of one or more first resources to the distributed software application on behalf of the distributed software application and/or a removal of one or more second resources from the distributed software application on behalf of the distributed software application.

Manager component resource addition and/or resource removal on behalf of distributed software application

An apparatus in one example comprises a substitute manager component that upon failure of a first manager component, obtains management responsibility for a distributed software application from the first manager component and queries one or more software components of the distributed software application for state information of the one or more software components. The substitute manager component employs the state information to determine whether one or more recovery actions are needed for the distributed software application to recover from the failure of the first manager component.

Substitute manager component that obtains state information of one or more software components upon failure of a first manager component

A distributed software application comprises a plurality of software components within a plurality of executables. A manager component for the distributed software application performs a recovery of two or more software components, of the plurality of software components, in an ordered sequence based on one or more dependency relationships among the plurality of software components.

A head guard for soccer players for protecting the forehead of a soccer player when the forehead is struck with a soccer ball. The head guard for soccer players includes a plate having a outer surface and an inner surface. The plate has a bottom edge, a pair of side edges and a top edge. The inner surface is concave and the outer surface is convex. The bottom edge generally lies in a plane such that the plate generally arcs back from the bottom edge to the top edge. A head band is elongated and has a pair of ends. Each of the ends of the head band is attached to the plate and defines a loop for extending around a head such that the plate may be abutted against the forehead of the wearer. Each of the ends of the head band is positioned adjacent to the bottom edge and one of the side edges.
