Abstract: Circuitry comprises a translation lookaside buffer to store memory address translations, each memory address translation being between an input memory address range defining a contiguous range of one or more input memory addresses in an input memory address space and a translated output memory address range defining a contiguous range of one or more output memory addresses in an output memory address space; in which the translation lookaside buffer is configured selectively to store the memory address translations as a cluster of memory address translations, a cluster defining memory address translations in respect of a contiguous set of input memory address ranges by encoding one or more memory address offsets relative to a respective base memory address; memory management circuitry to retrieve data representing memory address translations from a memory, for storage by the translation lookaside buffer, when a required memory address translation is not stored by the translation lookaside buffer; detector circ

Abstract: A method and control node for managing cloud resources in a communications network for a client being served by a primary data center holding service data associated with a cloud service being executed for the client in the primary data center. A first backup data center having free processing and storage resources for the cloud service, is selected based on usage of links between a source node associated with the client and the first backup data center. The service data is then saved in the first backup data center, thereby enabling the cloud service to be recovered in the first backup data center. If the usage of links in potential communication paths between the source node and the first backup data center exceeds a link usage threshold, the saved service data may be transferred from the first backup data center to a second backup data center.

Abstract: A method for triggering and controlling lateral bucking in underwater pipelines by installation of supporting systems, positioned in certain points of the seabed. Upper surfaces of the supports, on which the pipelines rest, are tilted with respect to the horizontal plane, and transversally with respect to the direction of the pipelines.

Abstract: A hydraulic and pneumatic suspension system for motor vehicle is disclosed, the improvement consisting in that each stay tube of the system is connected to a liquid-level-adjuster of its own and is also connected to a load-shift adjuster: the latter device is capable of controlling, according to a preselected value, the ratio of distribution of the load between the wheels of the front axles and those of the rear axle. These interconnections are such as to provide an improved control of the rolling and the pitching movements of the vehicle body while concurrently providing a better shock dampening in the case in which one wheel only is engaged by an isolated obstacle.
