Abstract:
A method for replicating a virtual file system of a virtual machine. The method includes accessing a host file system usage map of a host machine that indicates active blocks out of a plurality of blocks of the host file system, and accessing a virtual file system usage map of a virtual machine that indicates active blocks out of a plurality of blocks of the virtual file system. A merged usage map is generated from information of the host file system usage map and the virtual file system usage map that identifies active blocks of the host file system associated with the virtual file system. The virtual file system is then replicated at a replication destination in accordance with the merged usage map.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a biosensor for detecting a target. One example sensor includes a first electrode. The first electrode includes a first electron conducting molecule and a first probe. The first probe includes a second electron conducting molecule. The first probe is configured to bind to the target of interest in solution. The first and second electron conducting molecules are different.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a novel compound effective in inactivating viruses and bacteria. The compound, 2-(10-mercaptodecyl)-propanedioic acid or salts thereof, is shown to disrupt, break down or inactivate viruses and bacteria, thus suppressing infection and proliferation thereof in host cells. A method of chemically synthesizing the novel compound is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A safety socket device includes a base having two conductor bars, and two female contact strips for receiving prongs of plugs. A conductor member and a conductor element are disposed between the conductor bars and each includes two switches located on the sides of the female contact strips, for selectively and electrically coupling to the conductor bars and the female contact strips together. The female contact strips may be electrically coupled to the conductor bars only when the four switches are actuated by the prongs of the plug simultaneously, to prevent the insertion of foreign objects into the safety socket device by infants and small children.
Abstract:
A read-write head fine adjustment and driving structure includes a disk rotation unit adapted to rotate a disk, a reciprocation unit adapted to reciprocate a read-write head carrying slide along a sliding track relative to the disk rotation unit, a fine adjustment unit adapted to adjust the tilting angle of the sliding track, and an elevation difference compensation unit adapted to compensate elevation difference of the motor of the reciprocation unit when adjusting the tilting angle of the sliding track.
