Abstract: Provided is a vapour generating system with a heatable ceramic wick (300) for vaporizing a liquid. The wick (300) has an aerofoil shape to provide laminar air flow over the wick (300).

Abstract: Provided is vapour generating system having a wick (162) comprising a first wicking material (162a) in contact with a second wicking material (162b). The first wicking material (162a) has a greater porosity than the second wicking material (162b), such that liquid is transported preferentially through the first wicking material (162a).

The vaporiser comprises a tubular ceramic wick defining a vaporiser portion of the air flow path through the vaporiser. The vaporiser further comprises a heating element within the vaporiser portion of the air flow path wherein the heating element comprises a sheet of absorbent, electrically-conductive material.

Abstract: A cyber security system is adapted to generate a cloud architecture assembled from a plurality of cloud resources within a customer cloud environment based on metadata associated with the plurality of cloud resources. The cyber security system features at least a plurality of components. The first component identifies the plurality of cloud resources and collects metadata associated with each of the plurality of cloud resources including a first cloud resource for storage within a storage subsystem. The second component determines how at least the first cloud resource of the plurality of cloud resources is behaving within the customer cloud environment based on analytics conducted on log data and network traffic data associated with the first cloud resource. The third component conducts analytics on information associated with the plurality of cloud resources in order to detect compliance or misconfiguration of the plurality of cloud resources forming the cloud architecture.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for high-performance multi-node computing. Upon receiving a request to move a computing process from a first computing node to a second computing node, an agent responds to the request by: copying contents of one or more pages of the computing process from the first computing node to the second computing node, identifying page recency metadata corresponding to the one or more pages of the computing process, and copying all or portions of the identified page recency metadata to the second computing node. When the CPU of the second computing node accesses pages of the moved computing process, the operating system of the second computing node observes page recency metadata that had been copied from the first node and stored at the second computing node. The computing process might comprise a virtual machine, a guest operating system, or an executable container.

Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting an activation indicator to a user. A connection with a mobile device is detected. Retrieval is caused, at least in part, of a unique hardware identifier associated with the mobile device. It is determined that the mobile device is eligible for a service based on the unique hardware identifier. Presentation is caused, at least in part, of a visual indicator of the eligibility for the service based on the determination.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a dry pet food, comprising receiving (10) unprocessed meat, grinding (11, 14) the unprocessed meat, forming (15) the ground meat into a slab or a plurality of strips, passing (16) the formed meat through a steam cooker and cutting (17) the meat into chunks, and drying out (18, 19) the chunks.

Abstract: A frame for a rucksack that is convertible into a support for a person such as a chair or bed. Also, a rucksack including such a frame. A convertible frame for a rucksack comprises two main frame members connected together by a pair of extendable connectors; at least two leg members connected or connectable to the main frame members; and a flexible support attached or attachable to the main frame members to extend between the main frame members, the frame being convertible between a first configuration, in which the main frame members have a first distance between them, and a second configuration, in which the frame forms a support for a person and the main frame members have a second distance between them. Also, a rucksack comprising such a frame, a bag, a rear cover and shoulder straps.

Abstract: A computing server includes a hardware platform with hardware resources, with at least a portion of the hardware resources to be allocated as virtualized resources. A hypervisor platform is provided based on execution of code instructions by the hardware platform. A virtual machine operates as an independent guest computing device, with at least a portion of the virtualized resources being allocated by the hypervisor platform to the virtual machine. The hypervisor platform includes a snapshot function to save the state of the virtual machine, a virtual machine activity monitor to monitor activity of the virtual machine, and an activity-based snapshot policy engine to activate the snapshot function based on the monitored activity of the virtual machine exceeding an activity threshold metric.

Abstract: A system and method include receiving, at a host device, a request from a virtual machine to communicate with an emulated device. The host device establishes a socket connection between an emulator and the emulated device and communicates input-output messages via the socket connection from the virtual machine to the emulated device where the input-output messages use a virtual function input/output (VFIO) message protocol.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for managing content on at least two devices. An interface provides a listing of content, such as multimedia files, stored on devices such as a personal computer and/or mobile device. Indicators associated with a content item indicate whether or not associated content is stored on the respective devices. Selection of an indicator may result in copying of files from one device to another, deletion of a media file from a respective device, and/or downloading a file from a location remote from either or both devices to a respective device. Indicators may be updated to reflect the completion of copying, deletion, and/or downloading.
