Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a deployment strategy where a vendor deployment system sends to each customer site the same binary that defines all the microservices offered by the vendor deployment system. That is, the vendor deployment system can build one binary image of its platform (which has all the microservices) that is deployed to every customer site. The vendor also provides a deployment descriptor that is used during runtime to activate the microservices intended for use at the customer site. In this manner, the vendor deployment system can generate a customized deployment without having to build a new binary by manipulating the data or flags in the deployment descriptor.

Abstract: A redox flow battery may include: a positive half-cell comprising a catholyte; a negative half-cell comprising an anolyte; and an ion permeable membrane, wherein the ion permeable membrane separates the catholyte and the anolyte, and wherein the catholyte, the anolyte, or both comprise a low-transition temperature material comprising: a redox-active phase; and an ionically conducting organic salt.

Abstract: Inflatable undergarment with an inflatable bladder to provide protection and comfort has a fabric garment portion. A rear area of the undergarment further includes an integral air bladder. The bladder covers the buttocks area and is selectively inflated using a manual pump located near the waistband of the undergarment. The bladder system further includes a release valve that allows air to be released from the device.
