Abstract: Provided are processes of removing particulate fouling from a filtration membrane or for preventing membrane fouling by particulate matter. A process capitalizes on reversal of a naturally occurring diisophoretic particle deposition to actively move particulate material away from a membrane. A process includes placing a microparticle including a salt in proximity to a membrane such that the microparticle creates a gradient generated spontaneous electric field or a gradient generated spontaneous chemiphoretic field in the solvent proximal to the membrane that actively draws charged particles away from the membrane thereby removing charged particulate matter away from the membrane or preventing its deposition.

Abstract: A system is provided that visualizes an allocation of resources. The system displays a chart, where the chart includes a list of tasks and a timeline including time units. The system further displays task indicators within the timeline of the chart, where a task indicator includes task indicator segments, and where an area of a task indicator segment is proportional to a work scope of a resource allocated to a corresponding task. The system further receives a user interaction that includes a movement of the task indicator segment from a first task indicator that corresponds to a first task to a second task indicator that corresponds to a second task. The system further allocates the resource from the first task to the second task. The system further modifies the display of at least one task indicator within the timeline of the chart based on the allocation of the resource.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system selects a first processor as a master Time of Day (TOD) processor in a first TOD topology. The system then assigns a second processor as an alternate master TOD processor to a second TOD topology based upon determining that the second processor is on a different node than the first processor. The system configures to the first TOD topology and, when the system detects a TOD failure requiring a topology switch, the system re-configures to the second TOD topology.

Abstract: In an approach to identifying a source of a time-of-day network error, one or more computers increment a first counter and a second counter on each of one or more computer processors simultaneously. The one or more computers determine whether an error is detected in the one or more computer processors. In response to determining the error is detected, the one or more computers freeze the second counter on the one or more computer processors associated with the detected error. The one or more computers determine on which of the one or more computer processors the second counter is frozen. The one or more computers report a time-of-day network error, where reporting a time-of-day network error includes assigning a priority to one or more sources of the time-of-day network error.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing an electronic device with multiple cores is provided. The method begins when at least one scan is input for scan configuring. A signal having a predetermined number of bits is then input to a decoder. The decoder then outputs at least one assigned test channel based on the output of the decoder.
