Abstract: A memory controller includes a voltage control module that operates to isolate a target memristor of a memory crossbar array. The voltage control module applies a column voltage to a column line coupled to the target memristor, applies a first row voltage to all row lines not coupled to the target memristor and a second row voltage to a row line coupled to the target memristor, and senses a current through the target memristor to determine a state of the target memristor. The memory crossbar array includes a plurality of column lines, a plurality of row lines, a plurality of memristors, and a plurality of shorting switches. Each memristor is coupled between a unique combination of one column line and one row line. Each shorting switch has a high impedance resistor and a low impedance transistor, and each shorting switch is coupled to an end of a unique row line.

Abstract: A management computing device receives, from a target computing device located within a remote network, an event generated at the target computing device resulting from an issue at the target computing device. The management computing device determines a remediation process to resolve the issue at the target computing device in an automated manner. The management computing devices executes the remediation process in conjunction with a software agent running on the target computing device to resolve the issue in the automated manner.

Abstract: A desired instance of a service model is stored, and an observed instance of the service model is provided. Inconsistencies between the desired instance and the observed instance may be detected based on a comparison between the desired instance and the observed instance.

Abstract: An electric energy distribution system may include plural loads configured to receive electric energy from a common feed or branch. Each of the loads may be configured to operate in at least first and second modes such that it may consume current, VA or power up to a first cap when running in its first mode and up to a second cap when running in its second mode. The first cap may be higher than the second cap. A sensor component may monitor a parameter that corresponds to an aggregate amount of electric energy being consumed by all of the plural loads from the common feed or branch. A manager component may be configured, when the parameter meets or exceeds the threshold, to select one of the loads currently running in its first mode and to cause the selected load to run in its second mode.
