  • Publication number: 20230393884
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a cloud shell extension framework. A cloud infrastructure (CI) service can invoke a cloud shell from a console to the CI. The service may request that context data to be added for use in a terminal session. The cloud shell extension can include a tool or script that can be used to obtain context data or sample code for preparing an environment specific to the service prior to the user interaction with the environment. The cloud shell extension can allow for a service to register an extension in the cloud shell framework, and their extension can be invoked when a client initiates the cloud shell with the service. The extension can allow for the invoked service to forward context data, such as environment variables, to be set in the terminal session for the client.

  • Publication number: 20230392907
    Abstract: A shooting target includes an upright member to which a plurality of pivoting target members are attached. When struck by a projectile from a firearm, one of the target members rotates from a first set position, where the target member protrudes from one side of the upright member, to a second set position, where the target member protrudes from another side of the upright member, and vice versa. During this rotation of the target member, its lower edge slides upon a tapered edge provided by a plurality of tapered members. The tapered members serve to bias the target member to one of the two set positions to ensure the target member is only rotated when a direct strike is received from the projectile, and to ensure that the target member consistently rotates fully around to the other side of the upright member.

  • Publication number: 20230275783
    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing multiple network interfaces for a cloud shell are provided. The techniques include receiving, by a computer system, a command to execute an operation by the computer system, the command being received from a router via a primary virtual network interface card (vNIC), the primary vNIC being configured to permit incoming traffic. The computer system may execute the operation, generating an output of the operation. The techniques also include transmitting, by the computer system, a message comprising the output of the operation to a shell subnet via a secondary vNIC, the secondary vNIC being configured to permit outgoing traffic from the computer system to the shell subnet.

  • Patent number: 10646937
    Abstract: A method of using a reciprocating saw blade having an elongated body with a front body portion and a rear body portion, each having a front end, a rear end, an elongated cutting edge extending between the front and rear ends and a back edge opposite the cutting edge. A first tang that extends from the rear end of the rear body portion may be coupled to a reciprocating saw. The saw blade may be removed from reciprocating saw, and a second tang, which extends from the rear end of the front body portion, may be exposed by breaking off an entirety of the rear body portion in a single integral piece from the front body portion. The front body portion, without the rear body portion, may be coupled to the reciprocating saw by coupling the exposed second tang to the reciprocating saw.
