  • Patent number: 9934121
    Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for intent-based interactions with cluster resources. One or more computer systems are joined in a computer system cluster to provide defined computing functionality (e.g., storage, compute, network, etc.) to an external system. In one aspect, a data collection intent facilitates collection and aggregation of data to form a health report for one or more components of the computer system cluster. In another aspect, a command intent facilitates implementing a command at one or more components of the computer system cluster. Services span machines of the computer system cluster to abstract lower level aspects of data collection and aggregation and command implementation for higher level aspects of data collection and aggregation and command implementation. Services can be integrated into an operating system to relieve users from having to have operating system knowledge.

  • Patent number: 8177926
    Abstract: Amorphous Fe100-a-bPaMb foil, preferably in the form of a free-standing foil, process for its production by electrodeposition or electroforming of an aqueous plating solution, and its uses as a constitutive element of a transformer, generator, motor, pulse applications and magnetic shieldings. “a” is a real number ranging from 13 to 24, b is a real number ranging from 0 to 4, and M is at least one transition element other than Fe. The amorphous Fe100-a-bPaMb foil has the properties of being amorphous as established by the X-ray diffraction method, an average thickness greater than 20 micrometers, a tensile strength in the range of 200-1100 MPa, an electrical resistivity of over 120 ??cm, and at least one of a high saturation induction (Bs) greater than 1.4 T, a coercive field (Hc) of less than 40 A/m, a loss (W60), at power frequencies (60 Hz), and for a peak induction of at least 1.35 T, of less than 0.65 W/kg, and a relative magnetic permeability (B/?0H) greater than 10000, for low values of ?0H.

  • Patent number: 7897674
    Abstract: Polymer electrolyte for an electrochemical generator based on at least a four branched polymer, at least a poly(vinylyldienefluoride), a poly(vinyldiene fluoro-co-hexafluoropropene copolymer), a poly(tetrafluoroethylene), a poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-5-methylene-2-norbornene) or an ethylene propylene-diene copolymer, a polyol, a poly(methylmethacrylate, a poly(acrylonitrile), SiO2Al2O3, or nano TiO2 non coated or coated with an organic material. This electrolyte allows to prepare electrolytic compositions that can be used in high performance electrochemical devices.
