Abstract: Selective privileged container augmentation is provided. A target group of edge devices is selected from a plurality of edge devices to run a plurality of child tasks comprising a pending task by mapping edge device tag attributes of the plurality of edge devices to child task tag attributes of the plurality of child tasks. A privileged container corresponding to the pending task is installed in each edge device of the target group to monitor execution of a child task by a given edge device of the target group. A privileged container installation tag that corresponds to the privileged container is added to an edge device tag attribute of each edge device of the target group having the privileged container installed. A child task of the plurality of child tasks comprising the pending task is sent to a selected edge device in the target group to run the child task.

Abstract: A method includes, in response to receiving an incoming service request and establishing a call chain of pods of a service mesh network, setting a retry locker parameter to a locked state for each pod in the call chain. A locked retry locker parameter prevents the pod from initiating retries of a service request. The method includes, in response to determining that a pod in the call chain is unavailable, setting the retry locker parameter to an unlocked state for a previous pod just prior to the pod that is unavailable. The unlocked state allows a retry to the pod that is unavailable. In response to the previous pod reaching a retry limit, the method includes setting the retry locker parameter to unlocked for each pod in the call chain and sending a service termination message to a service requester.

In the present invention, a technical solution of the liquid nitrogen fracturing, an injection fluid injection, and the catalysis transportation and storage were adopted, which makes full use of the thermal energy of deep geothermal reservoir in combination with nano-Cu-based catalysts to activate the hydrothermal cracking reaction of crude oil and CO2 thermal reduction reaction, so to simultaneously enhance crude oil recovery and CO2 sequestration, fundamentally solving the existing problems of CO2-EOR technologies. Moreover, CO2 thermal catalytic reduction products can also work as a surfactant to accelerate the desorption crude oil from the rock surface and decrease the interfacial tension, and finally EOR.

Abstract: Example techniques related to portable playback device power management. An example implementation involves launching a power coordinator background process, the power coordinator background process having multiple client programs and establishing respective inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms between the multiple client programs and the power coordinator background process. The implementation further involves receiving, via the established IPC mechanisms from the multiple client programs, messages indicating that the respective client program is ready to suspend, and determining that each client program of the multiple client programs is ready to suspend. The implementation further includes sending instructions to the operating system to kernel suspend. While in kernel suspend, the playback device detects a particular trigger to kernel resume and in response, performs a kernel resume.

An example implementation includes a main SoC comprising main processor(s), an auxiliary processor, and a kernel that executes on the one or more main processor cores.
