  • Patent number: 12244520
    Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a client device of a user is used to select various network service options. The service options correspond to services that can be provided to computing equipment of the user that is mounted in various racks of the data center. In response to receiving the selection of one or more service options, the network fabric of the data center is configured to connect the computing equipment to the selected services. In one approach, the network fabric is configured by creating and/or configuring one or more virtual networks to provide the connection to the services.

  • Patent number: 11980732
    Abstract: A disposable device for absorbing urine and/or bodily fluids in the urethra having a cylindrical body having a top and bottom end. The body is made of absorbent material that expands upon contact with urine and bodily fluids and includes a string connected to the bottom end of the body for removing the device from the urethra. The device can include a vasodilator in or on a surface of the body and can be used to treat urinary incontinence and/or erectile dysfunction by inserting into the urethra and removing the device after it has been impregnated with fluid. The device can be included in a kit with a plunger for insertion.

    Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a TOR switch is mounted in a rack. The TOR switch is connected to a network fabric of a data center. A lock is used to control physical access to the rack. A request to physically access the rack is received from a computing device (e.g., a badge implementing a security token, or a mobile device). The request includes authentication credentials. The computing device is then authenticated. In response to authenticating the computing device, the lock is configured to provide physical access to the rack.

  • Publication number: 20240093056
    Abstract: A coating composition comprises a urethane resin, a water absorbent polymer, and a curing agent. The urethane resin is obtained by reaction of an isocyanate reactive compound having multi-epoxide functionality and an isocyanate. When applied to a substrate and thermally cured, the coating composition forms a transparent and smooth coating having permanent anti-fog property.

  • Publication number: 20240042977
    Abstract: An emission-limiting vehicle state control system includes a state detector, a database unit and a control and evaluation unit. The state detector is configured to provide state data. The database unit has a static database module, a dynamic database module and a data management module. The static database module includes static data for cause-effect relationships for emissions not associated with the drivetrain. The dynamic database module has variable data for emissions not associated with the drivetrain. The control and evaluation unit is configured to receive the state data and the data basis data to determine an emissions budget and target emissions values with a calculation module. An assessment module chooses a final control command from the alternative preliminary control commands and outputs the final command to an actuator unit to influence a vehicle state.

  • Patent number: 11583666
    Abstract: A disposable device for treating a condition of a ureter or kidney having a cylindrical body about 1-2 mm in diameter by about 5 to 10 mm in length and having a top and bottom end. The body is made of absorbent material that expands upon contact with pharmaceutical agent and bodily fluids and includes a string connected to the bottom end of the body for removing the device. The device can be used to treat a condition of the ureter or kidney by inserting into the ureter or kidney, delivering a pharmaceutical agent, and removing the device after it has been impregnated with fluid. The device can be included in a kit with an insertion device and/or appropriate pharmaceutical agents.

  • Publication number: 20230009578
    Abstract: A hinge-rod removal and insertion tool for opening and closing modular conveyor belts during installation and servicing. The tool is a pliers with jaws forming a split aperture. The jaws open to admit the end of the hinge rod of a modular conveyor belt. The jaws close to grasp the hinge rod so that it can be pulled from the belt. A head at the distal end of the jaws is used to push a hinge rod back into the belt. The tools have lift hooks to lift a section of belt to gain access to the ends of the hinge rods.

  • Publication number: 20220321503
    Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a respective rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the respective rack. A request is received, from a client device via a portal of the data center, to provide IP connectivity to one or more computing devices mounted in a rack. IP addresses are assigned that correspond to the IP connectivity. A virtual network is created in a network fabric of the data center. The created virtual network is associated with the assigned IP addresses. One or more of the TOR switches are configured to connect one or more ports of each respective TOR switch to the created virtual network.
