  • Publication number: 20240036929
    Abstract: Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems deploy software artifacts in datacenters created in a cloud platform. The system receives multiple version maps. Each version map provides version information for a particular context associated with the datacenter. The context may specify a target environment, a target datacenter entity, or a target action to be performed on the cloud platform. The system generates an aggregate pipeline comprising a hierarchy of pipelines. The system generates an aggregate version map associating datacenter entities of the datacenter with versions of software artifacts targeted for deployment on the datacenter entities and versions of pipelines. The system executes the aggregate pipeline in conjunction with the aggregate version map to perform requested operations on the datacenter configured on the cloud platform, for example, provisioning resources or deploying services.

  • Patent number: 11885073
    Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products comprising a non-crosslinked binder that are durable and dispersible. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3?. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the present invention surprisingly provides a tissue product having a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.

  • Patent number: 11868750
    Abstract: Computing systems, for example, multi-tenant systems deploy software artifacts in data centers created in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. The system receives a declarative specification for creating a datacenter on a cloud platform. The system generates an aggregate pipeline comprising a hierarchy of pipelines. The system generates an aggregate deployment version map associating data center entities of the data center with versions of software artifacts targeted for deployment on the datacenter entities. The system collects a set of software artifacts according to the aggregate deployment version map. The system executes the aggregate pipeline in conjunction with the aggregate deployment version map to create the datacenter in accordance with the cloud platform independent declarative specification.

  • Publication number: 20240003093
    Abstract: Disclosed are non-treated, creped tissue webs, and tissue products produced therefrom, having low stiffness and surface lint. The inventive products may be produced by a print creping process adapted to dispose a non-crosslinked latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of the tissue product. The non-crosslinked latex polymer creping composition does not negatively affect stiffness such that the products generally have a Stiffness Index less than about 5.0, such as from about 2.5 to about 5.0.

  • Publication number: 20230396733
    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a video camera to capture images, a proximity sensor to measure a distance of a moving object from the video camera, and a processor communicatively coupled to the video camera and the proximity sensor. The processor is to execute a video call application, detect the moving object within the video images transmitted by the video call application, determine that the moving object is located at a distance greater than a distance threshold, and remove the moving object from the video images transmitted by the video call application in response to the distance of the moving object being located being greater than the distance threshold.

  • Patent number: 11804914
    Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting whether a phased array antenna is to be calibrated. In an example, a controller communicatively coupled with the phased array antenna measures a characteristic of a probe signal. The probe signal is communicated between an antenna element of the phased array antenna and a probe antenna mounted to the phased array antenna. The probe antenna is over-resonant. The controller further determines a drift of the phased array antenna based at least in part on the characteristic. Based at least in part on the drift, the controller initiates a calibration of the phased array antenna.
