  • Patent number: 9832136
    Abstract: A provisioning server delivers operating systems to more than one virtual machine in different subnetworks. Since one provisioning server can be used for multiple subnetworks, this reduces the need to build, license, and support a provisioning server or a provisioning server farm for each subnetwork. This eliminates additional Infrastructure Software licensing; reduces additional effort to implement and maintain more provisioning servers; increases flexibility to add additional subnetworks; and scales a provisioning server farm to meet demand by adding servers.

  • Patent number: 8426535
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of zinc alkyl chain growth products via a catalyzed chain growth reaction of an alpha-olefin on a zinc alkyl, wherein the chain growth catalyst system employs a group 3-10 transition metal, or a group 3 main group metal, or a lanthanide or actinide complex, and optionally a suitable activator. The products can be further converted into alpha-olefins by olefin displacement of the grown alkyls as alpha-olefins from the zinc alkyl chain growth product, or into primary alcohols, by oxidation of the resulting zinc alkyl chain growth product to form alkoxide compounds, followed by hydrolysis of the alkoxides.
