Abstract: A method and system for updating a virtual machine that is utilized as a base virtual machine for one or more linked clone virtual machines. The method comprises deploying the base virtual machine on a host system, the base virtual machine comprising a base virtual disk which is attachable to the one or more linked clones and a base delta disk. The method further comprises deploying a software update to the base delta disk of the base virtual machine and once the software update is deployed to the base delta disk of the base virtual machine, shutting down the base virtual machine. The method further comprises updating the base virtual machine by merging the software update deployed on the base delta disk of the base virtual machine with the base virtual disk of the base virtual machine.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a matching engine for the coordination of electric energy production and consumption, in particular in the presence of uncertainty. The engine provides matching based on uncertainty and flexibility in the electric supply and demand chains. The system can use quantified characterizations of uncertainty and flexibility provided by performance measurements of the elements in the chain.

Abstract: A method is provided for shifting a transmission, more particularly an automatic planetary transmission, having multiple non-positive shift elements and at least one positive shift element. The transmission can assume particular transmission states according to current shifting states of the shift elements, each transmission state having a particular transmission ratio between a transmission input and a transmission output. At least two transmission states have identical transmission ratios. To shift into a first of the at least two transmission states that have identical transmission ratios, only non-positive shift elements are engaged. By contrast, to shift into a second of the at least two transmission states that have identical transmission ratios, at least one positive shift element is engaged.
