  • Publication number: 20250026088
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a blade made of a composite material for a turbomachine, in particular of an aircraft, including steps of: a) arranging a preform produced by three-dimensional weaving of fibres within a mould, a polymerisable adhesive being inserted between a shield and an edge of the preform, b) closing and heating the mould, then injecting the polymerisable resin into the mould, wherein the mould is heated according to a cycle including increases in temperature from T1 to T2, then from T2 to T3, and in that the resin is injected in step b) during or just before the increase in temperature from T2 to T3, the temperature T2 being selected so that the viscosity of the adhesive is greater than the viscosity of the resin.

  • Publication number: 20240419471
    Abstract: Techniques for sending commands to a container agent of a confidential virtual machine (VM) are disclosed. An example method includes sending a first command from a computing device to a container agent of a confidential VM running on a host computing system. The first command is sent to the container agent through a control plane of the host computing system and causes the container agent to communicate with a relying party to verify confidentiality of the confidential VM. The method also includes receiving network information for the container agent from the relying party and establishing a network connection with the container agent based on the network information received from the relying party. The method also includes sending a second command from the computing device to the container agent of the confidential VM via the network connection.

    Abstract: Techniques for sending commands to a container agent of a confidential virtual machine (VM) are disclosed. An example method includes establishing a first network connection with a control plane of a host computing system and establishing a second network connection with a container agent of a confidential virtual machine (VM) running on the host computing system, wherein the second network connection bypasses the control plane of the host computing system. The method also includes receiving a command from a tenant user interface (UI) and processing the command to determine a command type. The method also includes based on the command type, sending by a processing device, the command to the control plane via the first network connection or to the container agent via the second network connection.

  • Publication number: 20240386115
    Abstract: A virtual machine (VM)-based container runtime executing on a computing device receives a request to run a container from a container image that is at least partially encrypted. The VM-based container runtime causes a VM to be initiated from a VM image, the VM image including an agent operable to, during execution, obtain a plurality of decryption keys operable to decrypt blocks of the container image. The agent is operable to set up a block remapper in the VM to be invoked by a file system mounted to the VM to request a particular container image block, send a request for the particular container image block to a block obtainer component executing outside of the VM, utilize a decryption key to decrypt a container image block received from the block obtainer component to generate a decrypted container image block, and pass the decrypted container image block to the file system.

    Abstract: A headlamp with a light source, an electrical power source and several states controlling power sources and light beams is presented. The first state corresponds to at least one activated state in which the electrical power source is coupled to a light source to generate a light beam. The second state corresponds to a deactivated state where the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated. The third state corresponds to a locked state in which the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated; Also included is a switching mechanism to receive a first and a second physical user input through one switching element. A processor is coupled to the switching mechanism and is used to select one among the first, second and third states in response to the physical user inputs.
