Abstract: An adaptive gas mixture controller system. A pulse oximeter interface receives pulse oximeter data. A gas blender interface communicates with a separate externally connected gas blender. A processor receives pulse oximeter data via the pulse oximeter interface and outputs data to the gas blender interface for adaptive feedback control of the gas mixture based upon the SpO2 level signals from the pulse oximeter interface. When the processor receives data from the gas blender indicating that the gas mixture has been manually changed, enters a manual override mode and halts sending adaptive feedback control signals to the gas blender. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract: A first request to reserve a quantity of resources that comply with a constraint specified in the first request is obtained. A set of available resources that fulfills the constraint is determined based on current capacity usage. A token is associated with the set of available resources, with the token being associated with an expiration. The quantity of resources from the set of available resources is reserved, where the quantity allocated is unavailable, until the expiration, to fulfill resource requests that lack the token. The token is provided in response to the first request.

Abstract: A method and a cloud management node for managing a data processing task requested from a client. An amount of energy needed for executing the data processing task is first estimated and a time period during which the data processing task should be executed is also determined. An energy cost during the determined time period is further obtained. The execution of the data processing task is then scheduled within the determined time period based on the estimated amount of needed energy and the obtained energy cost. This scheduling may thus be done so that the energy cost will be as low as possible while fulfilling the amount of needed energy and execution within the determined time period. The needed energy is finally acquired from an energy source for use when executing the data processing task.

Further, application developers can control which such APIs to further exclude from dynamic calling scenarios, to minimize the runtime support overhead (e.g., preventing generation of metadata).

Abstract: A resource allocation system calculates a performance ratio and a cost for each of a plurality of service tiers. For each of the service tiers, the performance ratio is a ratio of the intended performance to an agreement performance, the agreement performance is a performance that serves as a reference performance of the service tier, the intended performance is a performance calculated for the service tier, and the cost is based on a used capacity of an allocated storage resource among the storage resources belonging to the service tier. The system displays a service tier map that has an axis corresponding to the performance ratio and a second axis orthogonal to the axis and corresponding to the cost. A display object is placed, for each service tier, at a position according to the calculated performance ratio and the calculated cost of the service tier on the service tier map.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing transactional operations in an event-driven polyglot language runtime environment. Native functionalities of a transaction processing system are exposed as interfaces to multiple languages and frameworks in the runtime environment. The transactional operations are called from modules. The transaction processing system is integrated with the modules. A prepare operation is sent to a resource manager (RM) via a resolution thread. For a committed transaction outcome of the resolution thread, the commit is logged, an indication of the commit is sent to the RM, the commit is performed, a completion indication of the commit is sent, and a forget operation is logged. For a rollback transaction outcome of the resolution thread, the rollback is logged, an indication of the rollback is sent to the RM, the rollback is performed, a completion indication of the rollback is sent, and the forget operation is logged.
