Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a medical device for treating a cancerous tumor, the medical device having a first lead including a first wire and second wire; a second lead can include a third wire and fourth wire; and a first electrode in electrical communication with the first wire, a second electrode in electrical communication with the second wire, a third electrode in electrical communication with the third wire, and a fourth electrode in electrical communication with the fourth wire. The first and third electrodes form a supply electrode pair configured to deliver one or more electric fields to the cancerous tumor. The second and fourth electrodes form a sensing electrode pair configured to measure an impedance of the cancerous tumor independent of an impedance of the first electrode, the first wire, the third electrode, the third wire, and components in electrical communication therewith. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides private namespaces for active computing environments. The invention uses one or more “compute capsules”. A compute capsule is a private, portable, persistent environment. Each compute capsule comprises an arbitrary set of active processes and their associated state information. In one embodiment, compute capsules provide a private, customizable view of a shared file system, so that users can modify arbitrary files without the expense of providing each person with a separate and complete file system image. In one embodiment, the invention provides environments with different personalities, each of which can be contained within a capsule. For example, a user can have one capsule for normal desktop usage, a fail-safe capsule with a minimal environment and no external dependencies, capsules for work-related and personal activities, etc. In one embodiment, capsules are given access rights.

Abstract: The present invention is for aggregate resource management of active computing environments. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention a compute capsule is provided. A capsule encapsulates an active computing environment. An active computing environment comprises one or more processes and the complete state necessary for the execution of those processes. Within the operating system, compute capsules are promoted to first class objects. Once promoted to first class object status, the compute capsule can be assigned resources, subjected to auditing constraints, and subjected to security policies. In one embodiment, resource management algorithms are applied to the promoted compute capsules. In another embodiment, a compute capsule that encapsulates a user's computing session can be assigned a guaranteed share of computing resources. In another embodiment, compute capsules are restricted from accessing the network or certain portions of the file system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a representation and encapsulation of active computing environments. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention a “compute capsule” is implemented. Each compute capsule serves to represent and encapsulate an active computing environment. An active computing environment comprises one or more active processes and their associated state information. The associated state information is information in a form that can be understood by any computer and tells the computer exactly what the processes in the capsule are doing at any given time. In this way, the compute capsule is a host-independent encapsulation that can be suspended on one computer, moved to a new computer, and re-started on the new computer where the new computer is binary compatible.
