  • Patent number: 11995449
    Abstract: A layered composite boot device, and a corresponding layered composite file system, can be implemented by a boot manager. Requests directed to the layered composite boot device and file system, can be serviced from a primary device and file system that are encapsulated by the layered composite boot device and file system. The primary device and file system can correspond to a virtualized file system within a container environment, thereby enabling changes within the container environment to affect early stages of operating system booting in the container environment. Should such requests not be serviceable from the primary layers, the composite device and file system can comprise secondary layers that can correspond to a container host connection and the host file system, providing fallback to existing data if changes within the container environment were not made, thereby enabling booting to proceed in a traditional manner.

  • Patent number: 11966771
    Abstract: Computing systems, devices, and methods of dynamic image composition for container deployment are disclosed herein. One example technique includes receiving a request for accessing a file from a container process. In response to receiving the request, the technique includes querying a mapping table corresponding to the container process to locate an entry corresponding to a file identifier of the requested file. The entry also includes data identifying a file location on the storage device from which the requested file is accessible. The technique further includes retrieving a copy of the requested file according to the file location identified by the data in the located entry in the mapping table and providing the retrieved copy of the requested file to the container process, thereby allowing the container process to access the requested file.

  • Patent number: 5704909
    Abstract: A bone cleaning and drying system for cleaning drying and emptying bones during joint replacement surgery, which includes an applicator for applying compressed gas, namely carbon dioxide, to the intramedullary canal and the cancellous bone, with an applicator nozzle at the distal end, the applicator nozzle having a plurality of end discharge slits and a plurality of angled side discharge slits to provide reverse flow, which provides a pressure gradient from the distal end to the proximal end, which aspirates and directs the entrained air, blood, fluids, fat, marrow, tissue and bone debris onto a drape or a hollow deflector shield surrounding the applicator, the front surface of the hollow deflector shield being apertured to allow the entrained materials to pass therethrough, the interior of the hollow deflector shield being connected to a flexible suction hose, and replaces room air with carbon dioxide in bone.
