Abstract: A system for detecting and cleaning indoor air pollution includes gas detection devices and filtering devices. The gas detection devices are adapted to detect a qualitative property and a concentration of an air pollution and output an air pollution data to perform an intelligent computation. The filtering devices are physical-typed or chemical-typed for filtering the air pollution. The filtering devices include one or more movable filtering devices, and the movable filtering device includes a gas detection device. After the intelligent computation is performed to locate an air pollution location, a control command is transmitted to the movable filtering device selectively and intelligently, and the movable filtering device receives the control command and is moved to the air pollution location. Therefore, the movable filtering device allows the air pollution data to approach to a non-detection state, thus a gas in the indoor space is cleaned to a safe and breathable state.

Abstract: A microcode (uCode) hot-upgrade method for bare metal cloud deployment and associated apparatus. The uCode hot-upgrade method applies a uCode patch to a firmware storage device (e.g., BIOS SPI flash) through an out-of-band controller (e.g., baseboard management controller (BMC)). In conjunction with receiving a uCode patch, a uCode upgrade interrupt service is triggered to upgrade uCode for one or more CPUs in a bare-metal cloud platform during runtime of a tenant host operating system (OS) using an out-of-bound process. This innovation enables cloud service providers to deploy uCode hot-patches to bare metal servers for persistent storage and live-patch without touching the tenant operating system environment.
