Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coaxial waveguide applicator for an electromagnetic wave-activated sorption system which comprises at least one sorber having a metallic tubular housing defining an outer conductor and first and second ends which are sealed to define an enclosure within the outer conductor; a sorbate/sorbent compound located within the enclosure; the sorber including a port through which a sorbate may be communicated into or out of the enclosure; a metallic inner conductor extending into the outer conductor and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sorber; an electromagnetic wave generator; and a waveguide for coupling electromagnetic waves generated by the electromagnetic wave generator to the inner and outer conductors; wherein electromagnetic waves transmitted by the electromagnetic wave generator are propagated through the enclosure by the inner and outer conductors to desorb the sorbate from the sorbate/sorbent compound.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking dirty memory which, in one embodiment, comprises a first memory corresponding to a first processor, a second memory corresponding to a second processor and a third memory coupled to the first memory, wherein the third memory stores bits corresponding to the pages of the first memory, and wherein each bit is set to "dirty" when the first processor writes to the corresponding page of the first memory and is set to "clean" when the corresponding page of the first memory is copied to a corresponding page of the second memory. The system and method can be used in a computer having multiple cpusets to assist in cpuset re-integration by copying the contents of one cpuset's memory to another cpuset's memory while the operating system of the computer continues to run.
