  • Patent number: 11809900
    Abstract: A method for migration of containers in a container orchestration platform, such as Kubernetes or Docker swarm, between compute nodes of a seamless computing platform present in different computing domains is provided. The state of the compute nodes of the seamless computing platform is continuously monitored. On determining a trigger, a container to be moved from a current compute node to a target compute node of a number of compute nodes is identified. A container information of the container to be moved is generated which includes a container context and the current state of the container. The container information is used by the target node to retrieve the current state of the container to be moved which enables restarting the container on the target compute node.

  • Patent number: 9397488
    Abstract: A method for stripping a cable, the cable having a conductor encompassed by an insulation and extending in a longitudinal direction, includes cutting into the insulation with stripping blades, after which the insulation is removed by sliding the stripping blades in the longitudinal direction. During the removal procedure, the longitudinal position of the stripping blades is detected if it has been determined by a detection device that at least one of the stripping blades has come in contact with the conductor. Based on the longitudinal position of one or more contacts with the conductor, a classification of the cable as adequately or poorly stripped is carried out.
