  • Publication number: 20230066840
    Abstract: Using metadata for a contentless file to provide a guest context access to file content. Within a guest context, a file system is mounted from a container image which lacks a first file's content and which includes metadata defining properties of the first file and mapping data defining information for identifying a second file within another filesystem from which the first file's content is obtainable Based on the properties, a filesystem operation involving the first file is performed without switching to a host context, and a requested access to the first file's content is responded to. Responding includes, based on the mapping data, communicating a request for the host context to supply the first file's content and, after returning from a context switch, responding to the requested access by supplying content of the second file from guest memory page(s) which are mapped to host memory page(s) containing the second file's content.

  • Publication number: 20230024964
    Abstract: An insert for a flow wrapped packaging assembly has a bottom wall (18) and a peripheral wall (20) extending from said bottom wall to define an interior volume (21) for containing product (14). The insert has a tongue (20) at a top end of the peripheral wall which is movable between a closed position in which it at least partially closes the interior volume at the top end of the insert and an open position in which it does not impede access to the interior volume. The insert (12) can be top-filled when upright with the tongue open and then moved to a horizontal orientation for flow wrapping using a HFFS process with the tongue closed to prevent the contents spilling out. The insert is particularly suitable for enabling a plurality of disc-shape products, such as beverage pads, to be flow wrapped using HFFS processes.

  • Patent number: 11555663
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical trigger that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a trigger mechanism, a trigger sensing mechanism, and a fire control manager. The fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on the trigger sensing mechanism generating a voltage, and the fire control manager may transmit a signal to an actuator mechanism based on the trigger break. A detent mechanism may be dislocated in response to a force applied to a trigger mechanism, and the trigger sensing mechanism may generate the voltage based on the dislocating of the detent mechanism. Dislocating the detent mechanism may correspond to satisfying a trigger break threshold. The actuator mechanism may be displaced in response to the signal, and displacing the actuator mechanism may result in a projectile being propelled from the gun.

  • Publication number: 20230010645
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an electromechanical sear that is implementable in a gun. The gun may include a fire control manager, and the fire control manager may identify a trigger break based on a trigger sensor, transmit, based on the trigger break, a first signal to a first actuator located in a displacement path of a sear, so as to cause the first actuator to be displaced in a first direction, and transmit, based on the trigger break, a second signal to a second actuator located in the displacement path of the sear, so as to cause the second actuator to be displaced in a second direction. The transmitting the first signal to the first actuator and the transmitting the second signal to the second actuator may cause displacement of the sear and firing of the gun.

  • Patent number: 11544094
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a set of common flat files in a composite image that can be mounted as a container (i.e., composite container) to support isolation and interoperation of computing resources. Container management is provided for a container management system based on a composite image file system engine that executes composite operations to support resource isolation and operating system (OS) virtualization functionality. In particular, a container engine interface supports creating, mounting, and providing access to and from composite images or composite containers. In operation, a plurality of files for generating a composite image are accessed. The composite image for the plurality of files is generated. The composite image includes a set of common flat files. The composite image is communicated to cause mounting of the composite image, where mounting the composite image is based on a metadata file from the set of common flat files.
