  • Publication number: 20170124073
    Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein are directed to, for example, a system and method of code migration using distributed file system directories. A computing device may send, to a code repository, a request to migrate code. The request may include, for example, an identifier for the code. In response to the request, the computing device may receive, from the code repository, the code. The computing device may generate one or more directories for the code. The computing device may migrate the code to the one or more directories. The code and the one or more directories may be synchronized to one or more other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 4238374
    Abstract: A method and composition is disclosed which is particularly suitable for forming a firm, bound aggregate-water support for floral arrangements with at least 60% by weight water. The composition comprises a water-insoluble, water-retaining binder, such as a particulate, water-insoluble, water-swellable, cross-linked polymer, and inert non-packing, highly porous water-trapping, aggregate particles dispersed throughout, the particles being present in an amount and having a bulk density and surface area effective to disperse the composition throughout the water as the composition is added to it without hand kneading or stirring. The binder should have water retention properties of at least 100 gm/gm. The aggregate particles should have an open structure and water retention properties of at least 4 gm/gm, have a surface area of at least about 10 m.sup.2 /gm and an apparent bulk density of not over 30 lbs/sq.ft. to avoid packing.

  • Patent number: 3973355
    Abstract: Methods of making and a self-contained hydrophilic plant growth matrix having excellent water holding properties for germination of seeds, propagation of cuttings and growth of plants are disclosed. The hydrophilic plant growth matrix is a dried, gelled plant growth particulate material mix, a cohesive plant mass which retains its shape and dimensional stability after rewetting. It may be formed in various shapes, such as pellets, plugs, cylinders, rods, blocks and the like. The gelled plant growth mix may be inserted in a plant matrix carrier or container which does not confine or impede root growth in any direction, such as an open cell foam, and preferably one which contains necessary nutrients for plant growth. The dried foam matrix has from about one-half of one to about five percent by weight, of a particulate, water-insoluble, water-swellable, cross-linked polymer dispersed throughout based on the dry weight of the plant growth particles.
