  • Patent number: 12164948
    Abstract: A fine-grain selectable partially privileged container virtual computing environment provides a vehicle by which processes that are directed to modifying specific aspects of a host computing environment can be delivered to, and executed upon, the host computing environment while simultaneously maintaining the advantageous and desirable protections and isolations between the remaining aspects of the host computing environment and the partially privileged container computing environment. Such partial privilege is provided based upon directly or indirectly delineated actions that are allowed to be undertaken on the host computing environment by processes executing within the partially privileged container virtual computing environment and actions which are not allowed.

  • Patent number: 12056512
    Abstract: A system comprising a hosting service configured to perform: providing, to a trusted entity on a central processing unit, a command for a launch of a virtual machine (VM); assigning, to the VM, at least a portion of memory for the guest operating system; submitting, to the trusted entity, a request to measure an address space of the VM to provide a measurement digest of the address space of the guest operating system; including, in a configuration object, a policy provided by the user for the service logic, wherein the policy defines one or more rules for the service logic, wherein the one or more rules include at least one rule for which containers may run in the guest operating system; hashing the policy to provide a hash digest of the policy; submitting, to the trusted entity, the hash digest of the policy; and completing the launch of the VM.

  • Patent number: 12032859
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to hosting virtual memory backed kernel isolated containers. A server includes at least one physical processor and at least one physical computer memory addressable via physical memory addresses. The at least one physical computer memory stores executable code configured to provide at least one host including a kernel and at least one kernel isolated container within the at least one host. The host allocates virtual memory having virtual memory addresses to a respective container of the at least one kernel isolated container. The host pins a subset of the virtual memory addresses to a subset of the physical memory addresses. The host performs a direct memory access operation or device memory-mapped input-output operation of the respective container on the subset of the physical memory addresses. At least part of the physical computer memory that is not pinned is oversubscribed.

  • Patent number: 11866766
    Abstract: A system and method for target material capture, the method comprising: receiving a set of target cells into an array of wells defined at a surface plane of a substrate; receiving a set of particles into the array of wells, thereby co-capturing the set of target cells and the set of particles; achieving a desired state for the array of wells upon receiving a washing fluid into a cavity in communication with the array of wells; receiving a lysis buffer into the cavity; receiving a partitioning fluid into the cavity, thereby displacing the lysis buffer from the cavity and partitioning each of the array of wells from adjacent wells, at the surface plane; and retaining intercellular material of the set of target cells, individually with the set of particles within the array of wells.

  • Patent number: 11439143
    Abstract: A temperature sensor for monitoring an organ or tissue is configured to measure a temperature inside of a container configured to contain the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is disposed exterior to the organ container and the temperature sensor is a non-contact temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be part of an apparatus for perfusing, transporting, and/or storing an organ or tissue. A coolant container may have an aperture through which the temperature sensor measures a temperature of at least one of the organ or tissue or a perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is preferably an infrared temperature sensor. Multiple temperature sensors may be provided that measure the temperature organ or tissue or perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue, for example in case one of the temperature sensors fails.

  • Publication number: 20200128898
    Abstract: An adjustable hat has a first attachment member and a strap connection member that cooperate to allow a strap to be easily connected and removed from the adjustable hat. The two elements may also be reversed with regard to construction and attachment to parts of the hat. The two members can be disengaged from one another without having to access them in the space formed by the hat and the band.

  • Patent number: 10489293
    Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) includes a processor with a cache memory system. The processor includes a processor core with an L1 cache memory that couples to an L2 cache memory. The processor includes an arbitration mechanism that controls load and store requests to the L2 cache memory. The arbitration mechanism includes control logic that enables a load request to interrupt a store request that the L2 cache memory is currently servicing. When the L2 cache memory finishes servicing the interrupting load request, the L2 cache memory may return to servicing the interrupted store request at the point of interruption.
