  • Patent number: 11878372
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a self-driven water collecting surface having a superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic structure, and a method for preparing the same, belonged to the technical field of water harvesting and superhydrophobic surfaces. The water collecting surface is a superhydrophobic surface with the distributed superhydrophilic region. The superhydrophilic region is a venation channel network structure consisting of hierarchical superhydrophilic channels. In the method, a pulsed laser is firstly adopted to form periodically distributed peak-pit microstructures and nanostructures, which is then modified with a low-surface-energy substance. Then, the low-surface-energy substance layer is removed by a pulsed laser again according to a venation channel network pattern. The laser scanned region is superhydrophilic, while the other regions are superhydrophobic. So that, the self-driven water collecting surface with the superhydrophobic-superhydrophilic structure is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20230244528
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method, system, and computer program product for service update management. The method, during a first update procedure for a first service in a computing system, in response to a detection that the first update procedure fails, a state of a second service on which the first service depends in the computing system is checked. In response to the second service being in a first state, the first update procedure is suspended. Resources allocated to the first update procedure by the computing system are released. The released resources are allocated to the second update procedure of the second service. The second update procedure is implemented based on the allocated released resources. With these embodiments, failures during the update procedures for the services may be automatically detected and removed based on a dependency relationship between the services. Therefore, the performance of the update procedures may be increased.
