  • Publication number: 20180173547
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system deploying a virtual network function (VNF) to one or more cores of a first central processing unit (CPU) on a first socket of a host. The system can also include a Control Deployment Manager (CDM) for monitoring one or more data transmission metrics associated with the first socket. Responsive to the CDM determining that a more optimal configuration for the VNF may exist based on the monitored data transmission metric(s), the NUMA system can re-deploy the first VNF to at least one other core.

  • Publication number: 20140350475
    Abstract: A hand operated medical pump is described including: at least one fluid inlet; at least one fluid outlet; a flexible pump bulb defining a pumping chamber which forms at least part of a pumping flow pathway; at least one directional valve which allows flow of fluid in a direction from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet, but inhibits flow of fluid in a direction from the at least one outlet to the at least one inlet; and a bypass flow pathway from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet which by-passes the at least one directional valve; and wherein the bypass flow pathway extends through the pump bulb.
