摘要:
A mechanism is described in which data from a first application running on a first computer is stored for access over a network by a second application running on a second computer. In one aspect, messages are periodically broadcast over the network to indicate that data has been stored for transfer. A list is displayed identifying computers that have broadcast messages regarding the transfer of data. In one aspect, the data is part of a file rather than an entire file.

Liquid-activated batteries and associated methods are disclosed. A liquid-activated battery may comprise a hydrogel permeated with electrolyte and an anode and a cathode in contact with the hydrogel. The hydrogel may become hydrated responsive to contact with a liquid. The hydrated hydrogel may support ionic communication between the anode and the cathode via the electrolyte. The liquid-activated battery may generate a voltage to power an electronic device due to the ionic communication. The hydrogel may be dehydrated such that ionic communication does not occur between the anode and the cathode.

Provided is conduit configured such that a hypervisor does not need to include logic for communicating directly with an I/O storage device. A virtual Asynchronous Service Interface (VASI) is the interface between a Command/Response Queue (CRQ), which receives CRQ commands from the hypervisor, and a Common Data-Link Interface (CDLI) of a Forwarder. The Forwarder receives I/O commands in a format associated with the CDLI and converts the commands into a generic I/O format understood by a Virtual Block Storage Device (VBSD). The reformatted command is transmitted to the VBSD, which issues commands to the native I/O stack. The hypervisor sends a read or write (R/W) request Lo the VASI, which passes the request to the Forwarder. The Forwarder converts the request and transmits the converted request to the VBSD. The VBSD transmits the request to the block storage device and returns the response to the Forwarder. The Forwarder replies to the request from the VASI with the response from the ABSD. The VASI then responds to the hypervisor. Also provided is an operation-specific module responsible for understanding and the intelligent processing of data that is transmitted between the hypervisor and the I/O stack.

摘要:
Liquid detection devices and perspiration-activated materials powered by liquid-activated hydrogel batteries are disclosed. A liquid detection device and a perspiration-activated material may be powered by a liquid-activated hydrogel battery comprising hydrogel permeated with electrolyte and an anode and a cathode in contact with the hydrogel. The hydrogel may become hydrated responsive to contact with a liquid, supporting ionic communication between the anode and the cathode via the electrolyte. The ionic communication may generate a voltage operative to power the liquid detection device or the perspiration-activated material connected thereto. The liquid detection device may operate to detect a liquid in contact therewith when powered by the hydrated liquid-activated hydrogel battery and to generate a detection event responsive to detecting the liquid. The perspiration-activated material may operate to evaporate and to eliminate odor associated with perspiration in contact therewith.
