  • Publication number: 20170257023
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having a charge pump and a capacitor. The charge pump may be configured for coupling between first and second power sources. The capacitor may be configured for coupling between the first power source and an input of the charge pump. In an energy harvest mode, the charge pump may decouple from the first and second power sources, and the first power source may charge the capacitor with a first voltage while the charge pump is decoupled from the first and second power sources. In an energy transfer mode, the charge pump may couple to the capacitor and the second power source to transfer the first voltage from the capacitor to the second power source during discharge of the first voltage from the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20170251735
    Abstract: A multifunctional fabric, a fabricating method thereof and an outdoor garment are described. The multifunctional fabric comprises: a PTFE microporous membrane; wherein the PTFE microporous membrane is added with an inorganic nano luminescent material. In this way, after the fabric is made into garments, particularly when it is applied in outdoor sports garments, the inorganic nano luminescent material can absorb UV rays to make the garments glow, thereby not only improving aesthetics of the garments, but also reducing damage of the UV rays to human health. In addition, by adding the inorganic nano luminescent material in the PTFE microporous membrane, the problems of poor firmness and persistence of a single PTFE material can be overcome. Because the molecular bond of the inorganic nano luminescent material has high intensity and is stable, the multifunctional fabric will be durable after it is added with the inorganic nano luminescent material.

Input data discovered from a source computing environment is received, wherein one or more of components of the source computing environment are to be migrated to a target computing environment, the input data comprising at least source configuration information and utilization information. Target compute resources, network design and system management design may be determined based on the input data, and a new network configuration generated as output. Based on these design decisions, the steady-state network management using SDN is proposed. The new network configuration may be transmitted to an SDN controller associated with the target computing environment for storing as flow table rules. The SDN controller pushes the flow table rules to one or more routing switches, the flow table rules for performing the network routing and the load balancing.
