Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to managing workloads provided by a plurality of clients to a shared resource. One example provides a computing device comprising a processor and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable to provide a first workload from a first client and a second workload from a second client to a shared memory accessible by the first client, the second client, and a resource configured to process the first workload and the second workload. The computing device is configured to determine that an exception has occurred while processing the first workload, and to take an action to prevent execution of at least some additional work from the first client. The instructions are further executable to receive a result of processing the second workload after taking the action to prevent the execution of the additional work.

Abstract: A microseal for a metal bead seal joint includes a substantially horizontal surface, first and second substantially vertical surfaces disposed on opposite ends of the substantially horizontal surface, and a contoured surface operatively configured to adhere to a portion of a metal bead. The contoured surface may be disposed opposite the substantially horizontal surface and may be integral to the first and second substantially vertical surfaces. The substantially horizontal surface may be operatively configured to substantially maintain its horizontal surface orientation in both a compression state and a non-compression state.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a thin-provisioned multi-node computer system with a disaggregated memory pool and a pooled memory controller. The disaggregated memory pool is configured to make a shared memory capacity available to each of a plurality of compute nodes, such memory capacity being thinly provisioned relative to the plurality of compute nodes. The pooled memory controller is configured to assign a plurality of memory segments of the disaggregated memory pool to the plurality of compute nodes; identify a subset of the plurality of segments as cold segments, such identification being based on determining that a usage characteristic for each such cold segment is below a threshold; and page one or more of the cold segments out to an expanded bulk memory device, thereby freeing one or more assigned memory segments of the disaggregated memory pool.

Abstract: Wheel carriage assemblies and related fabric deployment systems and methods are disclosed. A wheel carriage assembly comprising at least one wheel with ball bearings on the interior of each wheel, and a pivot point that allows for position independence, is configured with a hembar coupled to a piece of fabric to allow a surface of varying shape to be covered. The system provides the ability to cover both traditional window shapes as well as surfaces of irregular shape or inclined orientation, and reduces and evens the amount of wear on certain components to extend system life.

Abstract: A system and method for secure storage and management of transitory data, comprising at least a profile manager, a callback manager, a context analysis engine, and a vault manager, which allows a user to create a data container to store data preferences, which encrypts the data stored within a data container, which creates a password for accessing the data container, which temporarily stores the data container, which manages data container interactions between the system user and a second user, such as a business enterprise, and which establishes default preferences and creates a default container based upon context content data.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for performing computations on sensitive data while guaranteeing privacy. A service provider receives a first and a second ciphertext from a medical provider that homomorphically encrypts matrices A and B, respectively, using an encryption key, where the matrices A and B include medical data encoded as vectors. The service provider performs a homomorphic matrix multiplication on the first and second ciphertexts without decrypting the first and second ciphertexts. An encrypted result from the performed homomorphic matrix multiplication on the first and second ciphertexts is generated and transmitted to the medical provider to decrypt which matches a result of performing a matrix multiplication on unencrypted matrices A and B thereby enabling computations to be performed on the medical data in a secure manner.
