Abstract: Power consumption by a first host included in a plurality of hosts in a clustered computing system, where each of the hosts executes one or more applications, is managed by detecting that a utilization level of the first host falls below a threshold value and, responsive to the detecting, migrating one or more applications executing on the first host to a second host. After the migration is completed, the first host is caused to consume less power while remaining powered on.

Abstract: An exhaust system includes a first exhaust after-treatment system receiving exhaust gases generated by an engine, a second exhaust after-treatment system downstream of the first exhaust after-treatment system, and at least one bypass connecting an engine outlet to an inlet to the second exhaust after-treatment system. A turbocharger is associated with the bypass and a bypass valve is located upstream of the turbocharger. The bypass valve is moveable between an open position to bypass exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, a closed position to direct all exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, and a partially open position where one portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the first exhaust after-treatment system and a remaining portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the turbocharger. A controller controls movement of the bypass valve between the open, closed, and partially open positions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating laboratory instruments. In an example, a laboratory instrument for testing patient specimens includes a testing apparatus configured to receive a cassette that includes a patient specimen or a quality control specimen. In response to determining that a quality control specimen is present, the instrument obtains a first measurement of a parameter. If the first parameter is outside an expected tolerance, the instrument ceases performing tests on all specimens, the instrument re-tests the quality control specimen to obtain a second measurement of the parameter. If the second measurement is within the expected tolerance, instrument resumes processing of the cassette. If the second measurement is outside the expected tolerance, the instrument indicates that recalibration or service is required.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for providing network intrusion detection and prevention service (NIDPS) capabilities to a microservice in a networked computing environment. In an embodiment, a set of rules for accessing the microservice is retrieved. A NIDPS microservice is created within the environment of the microservice fabric that supports the microservice using the set of rules. The NIDPS microservice is established as a proxy communications destination for communications to the microservice such that communications that are intended for the microservice are instead rerouted to the NIDPS microservice. These communications are filtered by the NIDPS microservice according to the set of rules (e.g., to remove any communications that are determined to be threats).

Abstract: A system to dynamically update presentations based on context classification of voice inputs, comprising: a storage device and a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to: display a first graphical user interface associated with a first context via a user interface, obtain a first voice input, determine one or more first terms from the first voice input, determine that the first voice input is related to a first context based on the one or more first terms, and in response to determining that the first voice input is related to the first context: modify the first graphical user interface associated with the first context and display the modified first graphical user interface associated with the first context via the user interface.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a multi-node database management system allows consumer processes (“consumers”) implementing a portion of a distributed data-combination operation to independently send a STOP notification to corresponding producer processes (“producers”). Upon a given consumer determining that the consumer requires no further information from corresponding producers, the consumer sends a STOP notification to the producers. When a given consumer sends out a STOP notification, the producers drop any data destined for the given consumer and also stops preparing data for and sending rows to the given consumer. Furthermore, once the producers receive STOP notifications from all of the consumers corresponding to the producers, the producers stop the current sub plan execution immediately without requiring completion of the sub plan.
