Abstract: Auxiliary safety device for a vehicle, comprising a housing suitable to be mounted on board of the vehicle; a lighting assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises at least a plurality of lights arranged to illuminate a space ahead of the vehicle; a video assembly which is at least partially accommodated in the housing and comprises one or more video cameras monitoring at least part of the environment outside the vehicle to detect one or more of humans, animals or objects ahead of the vehicle, wherein the video assembly comprises at least one thermal video camera which detects at least humans/animals ahead of the vehicle under poor visibility conditions; and a controller which at least causes the plurality of lights to flash or strobe at a human, or animal or obstacle detected by the video assembly.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for managing containers across operating systems in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes: causing a first container management agent in a first container to run a user interface in the first container, receiving a user request to create a copy of the first container, creating a second container in view of the first container, receiving, from the user interface running in the first container, a first command to switch from the first container to the second container, and responsive to receiving the first command to switch from the first container to the second container: configuring the second container in view of one or more configurations of the first container, causing a second container management agent in the second container to run the user interface in the second container, and causing execution of the first container to stop.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for managing containers across operating systems in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes: running a first container corresponding to a first operating system, wherein the first container is created in view of a container image; receiving a user request to switch from the first operating system to a second operating system; in response to receiving the user request, switching, by a processing device, from the first container to a second container corresponding to the second operating system, wherein the second container is created in view of the container image, wherein switching from the first container to the second container comprises: configuring the second container in view of a plurality of configurations of the first container; and running the configured second container.

Abstract: A processing device receives graphical output data from an application. The processing device generates, based on the graphical output data, at least one of an image or a drawing command that is formatted for an application programming interface (API) of a web browser. The processing device then transmits at least one of the image or the drawing command to a web browser instance executing on a remote client device, wherein the web browser instance is natively capable of rendering at least one of the image or the drawing command to a display on the remote client device.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a server. The server, in turn, comprises one or more master instances of an operating system (OS). The OS comprises a set of computer program files to operate a computer. The server also includes a version-managing program maintaining the one or more master operating systems. The computer system also includes a number of client computers each of which is configured to operate using one of the one or more master operating systems as read-only files.

Abstract: A client device is connectable to a server via a communication network for receiving new software packages. The client device includes a pair of system partitions designated as current and backup system partitions and at least one package partition on which all installed system packages are saved. A central processing unit of the client device uses the contents of the current system partition. In response to an startup failure or a runtime failure, the client device reboots using the backup system partition and allows a user to selectively install any of the software packages saved on the at least one package partition.
