Abstract: Method, device, and storage medium to provision virtual machines, software, storage, and network resources of a standard operating environment including devices having identical software, hardware, and configurations. A provisioning device uses dedicated flows based on the resource to be provisioned.

Abstract: A two-piece flywheel for use with an automotive engine includes a central plate having an annular periphery surrounded by a ring gear. The ring gear includes an outer circumference having a plurality of radially-outwardly extending gear teeth and an inner circumference. The inner circumference of the ring gear is seam welded continuously about 360 degrees to the annular periphery of the central plate.

Abstract: A flywheel for use with an automotive engine includes a central plate having an annular periphery surrounded by a ring gear. The ring gear includes an outer circumference having a plurality of radially-outwardly extending gear teeth and an inner circumferential surface. The ring gear is disposed about the annular periphery of the central plate. An adhesive is disposed between the inner circumferential surface of the ring gear and the annular periphery of the central plate fixedly securing the ring gear continuously about 360 degrees to the central plate.

Abstract: A method of securing a metal component to a body having a metal wall includes placing the component against the body such that a wall of the component is in external surface contact with the wall of the body. An opening is then thermal drilled through the abutting walls causing thermal flow of material on opposite sides of the abutting walls that, when hardened, joins the component to the body.

Abstract: A ventilated textile elastic band is formed of a crochet-type warp knitted construction from a set of warp yarns respectively formed in warpwise-extending chain stitches in spaced groups of successive adjacent wales separated from each other group by plural wales unoccupied by any warp yarn, a set of elastic yarns extending within the chain stitches of the warp yarns, and a set of filling yarns traversing coursewise within the warp yarn chain stitches in a predetermined filling traversal pattern producing an absence of any filling yarn in selected courses of the unoccupied wales thereby forming parallel lengthwise columns of spaced ventilation openings. The grouped arrangement of the warp yarns and the widthwise traversing of the filling yarns provides widthwise structural integrity to the fabric band while the elastic yarns provide lengthwise stretchability and the ventilation openings permit air and moisture to pass freely through the band.

Abstract: A method for discharging a fluid, notably an aqueous medicament solution, as a spray of droplets by causing a fluid to flow through a nozzle aperture so that a secondary flow is induced in at least part of the flow of fluid through the nozzle aperture by a flap or orifice lip located within the bore of the nozzle passage, and/or adjacent an end of the nozzle passage, and/or adjacent the nozzle aperture. Preferably a secondary flow at the nozzle orifice is induced such that at least 10% of the fluid flows at an exit angle of 90.degree. to the overall line of travel of the remainder of the fluid.
