Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a virtualization control unit configured to virtualize hardware, and a network providing unit configured to provide a network function by using a resource virtualized by the virtualization control unit.

Abstract: An IA server includes a plurality of execution units that execute respective virtual machines of a plurality of disaster recovery stations corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of active stations. The plurality of disaster recovery stations includes a virtualized call control server that performs call processing when an active station is not operating, and a control unit that controls an operation of the virtual machines. The control unit activates, at normal times, the virtual machines, and deactivates, when any active station of the plurality of active stations is not operating, a virtual machine of a disaster recovery station of the plurality of disaster recovery stations other than a virtual machine of a disaster recovery station of the plurality of disaster recovery stations corresponding to the active station not operating, and operates only the virtual machine of the disaster recovery station corresponding to the active station not operating.

Abstract: A virtual machine control device 20 includes: an external disk 22 that has recorded thereon initialization information including user data and application software for each virtual machine 11; and a restart control unit 21 that, when a failure in which a reboot of an OS is executed without a restart escalation for expanding an initialization range in stages occurs in a virtual machine 110 of an active system (ACT), stops a duplexed operation, causes another general-purpose device 10x to load the initialization information for the virtual machine 110 of an active system that has stopped and to reboot an OS and also causes a virtual machine 111 of a standby system (SBY) that has stopped the duplexed operation to load the initialization information for the virtual machine 111 and to reboot an OS, and sets as an active system the general-purpose device 10x that has started up first, and sets as standby system a general-purpose device 101 that has started up later.

Abstract: An IA server (call control apparatus) 31 includes a plurality of execution units 311A to 311C that execute respective virtual machines of a plurality of disaster recovery stations corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of active stations including a call control server that performs call processing at normal times, the plurality of disaster recovery stations including a virtualized call control server that performs call processing when an active station is not operating, and a control unit 312 that controls an operation of the virtual machines of the plurality of disaster recovery stations.

Abstract: A processing apparatus (1) includes a virtualization control unit (110) configured to virtualize hardware, and a network providing unit (120) configured to provide a network function by using a resource virtualized by the virtualization control unit (110).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing electrically interconnected solar cell assemblies, including the steps of: positioning at least a first interconnect element (64) in an alignment feature of a top carrier and facing a top surface of a first photovoltaic cell (60); adhering the first interconnect element to a location on the top surface of the first cell, wherein a length of the first interconnect element extends beyond a trailing edge (68) of the first cell; and adhering a portion of the length of the first interconnect element that extends beyond a trailing edge of the first cell to the bottom surface of a second cell (62). In one aspect, a system is provided for assembling solar cell strings, including cell transfer equipment, a bottom pallet including grooves, multiple top pallets including grooves, an adhesive dispensing system, a ribbon supply mechanism, and a system for moving ribbons and top pallets.
