Abstract: Provided are automated methods for measuring soluble magnesium concentration in water using fluorescence. The methods employ the use of a pH-buffered liquid and a magnesium coordinating fluorescing reagent. In certain embodiments, the methods may further employ measuring total hardness concentration of the water by displacing any soluble calcium with soluble magnesium and then re-measuring the soluble magnesium concentration. Optionally, the soluble calcium concentration can be determined by subtracting the measured soluble magnesium concentration from the measured total hardness concentration.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to rapidly launching a virtual software application using on-demand file staging, rapidly launching a virtual software application using on-demand registry staging and to rapidly publishing a virtual software application using on-demand staging. In one scenario, a computer system creates a high-level file listing that includes a list of specified high-level data files and directories that are part of a virtual application package. The computer system receives an indication from an application user that the virtual application is to be accessed and dynamically creates sparse data files for those data files that are to be accessed based on the received indication. Then, upon determining that the virtual application is attempting to access the sparse data files, the computer system dynamically streams the data corresponding to the sparse data files on demand from the remote data store.

Abstract: A virtualization system is described herein that facilitates communication between a virtualized application and a host operating system to allow the application to correctly access resources referenced by the application. When the operating system creates a virtualized application process, the virtualization system annotates a data structure associated with the process with an identifier that identifies the virtualized application environment associated with the process. When operating system components make requests on behalf of the originating virtual process, a virtualization driver checks the data structure associated with the process to determine that the helper process is doing work on behalf of the virtualized application process. Upon discovering that the thread is doing virtual process work, the virtualization driver directs the helper process's thread to the virtual application's resources, allowing the helper process to accomplish the requested work with the correct data.

Abstract: In a method and the corresponding apparatus for operating an internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders (Z1 to Z4) which are assigned in each case one injection valve (18) for metering in fuel, a control apparatus (25) is provided with in each case one output stage (25a) for actuating the injection valves (18) of the plurality of cylinders. Here, first of all work injection operations (P0 to P4) are determined for a cylinder (CYL_i) with the duration and positioning in relation to the crankshaft rotary angle. Following this, late injection operations (P5), which are required in certain operating modes, for the preceding cylinder (CYL_i?1) in the ignition sequence are arranged in a setpoint crankshaft angular range (SB) in such a way that no temporal overlaps occur between individual work and late injection operations.

Abstract: A mobile communication data transmission method for a cell having one base station and more than one relay station involves switching the relay stations between at least two operating modes of signaling transmission under the control of the base station. A system transmits mobile communication data in a cell having one base station and more than one relay station. When transmitting an uplink signaling or a downlink signaling, the relay stations switch between at least two operating modes under the control of the base station. By using the method, network, relay station, and base station, data transmission in multiple modes can be achieved, so as to achieve a flexible relay scheme.

Abstract: A communication method is used for a mobile phone. The mobile phone is capable of receiving a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a second SIM card. The mobile phone acquires a first paging reception time of the first SIM card and a second paging reception time of the second SIM card, and further calculates a minimum time gap between the first paging reception time and the second paging reception time. If the minimum time gap is less than a threshold time gap, the mobile phone modulates the first paging reception time and the second paging reception time, such that the minimum time gap is not less than the threshold time gap.
