Abstract: Systems for management of a large computing cluster. A set of computing nodes within the cluster are identified. The identified nodes are to be reimaged with an operating system image and parameters. One or more reimaging algorithms in the form of computer code are stored in a networked storage device within a storage pool that comprises the networked storage device and a plurality of local storage devices that correspond to respective individual ones of the set of computing nodes. An agent that can execute the reimaging algorithm code is configured to run on any one of the set of computing nodes, wherein the agent is further configured to retrieve reimaging data from a storage device that is within the storage pool. An agent running on a leader node initiates reimaging of a second node. The second node initiates reimaging of a third node. The third node reimages the leader node.

Abstract: A pulley for installation in a pulley mechanism of a Jacquard machine has a shaft, a housing having two flank bodies, which are provided to fasten the shaft, so that this shaft extends substantially between the flank bodies, and a pulley wheel, which is provided to be arranged between the two flank bodies so as to be directly rotatable around the shaft. The shaft, prior to assembly of the pulley, is provided with cavities and/or projecting portions for the post-assembly axial securement of the flank bodies in both axial directions.

Abstract: The invention provides a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound, wherein R1, R2, R3, Z, A1, L and A2 are as described herein; pharmaceutical compositions thereof; and the use to thereof in treating diseases, conditions or disorders modulated by the inhibition of an acetyl-CoA carboxylase enzyme(s) in an animal.
