Abstract:
A technique is disclosed for generating a plurality of output frames based on a single input frame. An input interface is configured to receive at least a portion of the input frame. An output controller is configured to receive, for each of the plurality of output frames, a new header, and combine each new header with at least a portion of the input frame. An output frame may be generated for which no corresponding input frame exists. An input interface is configured to receive an indication that the output frame should be generated. An output controller is configured to receive a generated header and combine the generated header with a dummy payload to form the output frame.
Abstract:
Particles are separated from a source viscoplastic fluid by flowing streams of the viscoplastic fluid and a destination fluid in parallel streamed relationship inside a rotating cylindrical annulus by using baffles to introduce each fluid independently at an inlet lower end of the annulus and for separating the upper streams consisting of an un-yielded source and destination flow proximate the radially innermost side of the annulus, a bulk axial flow in a more central region and a yielded layer destination flow adjacent the radial outermost side of the annulus which contains the particles that have separated. Inlet and outlet baffles are provided at each end of the vertically oriented device to maintain the flows discrete on entry and to maintain the separated flows discrete on exit so as to facilitate removal of the component flows from the fractionator.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods, configurations, computer program products and systems configure and deploy portable application containers (PACs) in a shared server environment. A method involves receiving metadata describing an application and receiving an instruction on what metadata to use in configuring the application where the application is associated with a PAC. The method also involves transforming the metadata into a list of commands in response to receiving the instruction and deploying the list of commands to a group of servers wherein the commands are operative to create the PAC. The PAC is a logical construct of the application configured to be logically separate from and to execute via any server in the group of servers. Each server in the group of servers can be used by multiple PACs to enable improved utilization of server capacity.
Abstract:
Particles are separated from a source viscoplastic fluid by flowing streams of the viscoplastic fluid and a destination fluid in parallel streamed relationship inside a rotating cylindrical annulus (FIG. 16 (106, 102b) by using baffles (112, 114) to introduce each fluid independently at an inlet lower end of the annulus and for separating the upper streams consisting of an un-yielded source and destination flow proximate the radially innermost side of the annulus, a bulk axial flow in a more central region and a yielded layer destination flow adjacent the radial outermost side of the annulus which contains the particles that have separated. Inlet and outlet baffles are provided at each end of the vertically oriented device to maintain the flows discrete on entry and to maintain the separated flows discrete on exit so as to facilitate removal of the component flows from the fractionator. The flow is maintained as laminar Poiseuille flow by adjusting the flow rates of the source and destination fluids. Supporting theory is provided with derived parameters for controlling the flow and predicting results. Two major embodiments are presented the first based on axial inlet flows (FIG. 17) and the second based on radial inlet flows (FIG. 8). Pump blades (170), (176) (FIG. 17) may be provided for the axial inlet/outlet embodiment in the region of the separated flow channels. Modular construction is shown in FIGS. 1-3.
