  • Patent number: 8015374
    Abstract: A back-up solution (300) is proposed for use in a data processing system, wherein different host machines support multiple guest machines. For this purpose, a master one of the host machines owns (306) a scheduling file, which indicates which guest systems are enabled to back-up their data, and when the back-up process must be performed. Every day, each other host machine verifies (309-318) whether the corresponding guest machines are included in the scheduling file for the current day. If so, the path of the respective data to be backed-up is added (324-330) to a control file on the master host machine. At the end of the procedure, the master host machine may then back-up the required data of the different guest machines (as indicated in the control file); at the same time, any critical guest machine automatically shuts-down (342-345), so as to ensure the consistency of the corresponding backed-up data.

  • Publication number: 20060242929
    Abstract: According to a method for controlled closing a container (1) with a related threaded cap (3), a container (1) is moved to a cap (3) feeding station, where a cap (3) in placed on the threaded upper end of the container (1). Then the container (1), together with the cap (3) is transferred to a closing station, where said cap (3) is screwed to said container (1). During screwing, the instant value of the torque applied to said cap (3) is measured and compared with a pre-selected threshold value, so ad to verify, in relation to the threshold value having been reached and to the moment, in which the value is reached, a stable tightening if the cap (3) onto the container (1).
