Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for using and dispatching an autonomous delivery. A wireless communications network may receive a request to delivery one or more items to a site and also determine that the autonomous delivery vehicle is the closest in location to the site from a plurality of autonomous vehicles. Additionally, the wireless communications network may determine that the autonomous delivery vehicle has stored thereon, the one or more requested items. The autonomous delivery vehicle may then receive by way of a wireless communication network, the request to delivery one or more items to an infrastructure site. The autonomous delivery vehicle then uses the location of the site to autonomously deliver the one or more items.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rail vehicle (1) comprising a first passenger car and a powerpack (2) having a longitudinal axis, the powerpack (2) and the passenger car being coupled together. The powerpack (2) comprises at least one fuel cell (20) and at least one fuel tank (21) having a fuel tank valve (33). The powerpack (2) is mounted on at least one bogie. The rail vehicle (1) comprises at least one driven bogie which can be supplied with electrical energy from the fuel cell (20).

Abstract: The invention provides a system for the contact-limited or contact-free diagnostic testing. The system offers convenient app or web-based algorithms for obtaining diagnostic care without the need for consulting a physician prior to requesting the test. Specifically, the system provides a user interface portal for an individual to interact with testing laboratories in order to request diagnostic testing, receive physician approval, receive an in-home test kit, and for anonymized results returned to the requesting individual through the app or web-based interface. By providing a patient management portal system useful for initiating and managing interactions between individuals and the testing laboratories, the invention bridges point-of-care with at-home care thus improving access to potentially life-saving diagnostic testing.

Abstract: A method and system of portable and flexible deployment of dedicated servers in cloud computing. A user input of a selection of a server image template pertaining to a dedicated server to be deployed is received at a first screen at a user interface. The dedicated server is selected according to the user input of the selected server image template. The selected dedicated server is deployed, and an operating system is specified for the selected dedicated server in response to having deployed a server image associated with the selected server image template in the data center at each geographic location of one or more geographic locations. Deploying the selected dedicated server includes booting the selected dedicated server using the specified operating system.

Abstract: A method and system of portable and flexible deployment of dedicated and virtual servers. A user input of an order requesting the deployment of a dedicated or virtual server at a specified data center location is received at a user interface. A user input of a selection of a server image pertaining to the server to be deployed is received at a first screen at the user interface. A second screen is presented to the user at the user interface, which enables the user to select one or more geographic locations of two or more distinct geographic locations, from a menu displayed on the second screen, for storing and deploying the selected server image in a data center at each selected geographic location. The server is selected according to the user input of the selected server image. The selected server is deployed.

Abstract: A system of portable and flexible deployment of dedicated and virtual servers comprises a plurality of geographically-dispersed data centers comprising a plurality of dedicated servers, a plurality of hosts operable to host a plurality of virtual servers, a management workstation operable to capture dedicated and virtual server images, an image repository operable to store the captured server images, and an intra-data center networking infrastructure enabling communication within the data center. An integrated management system is operable to control and manage deployment of server images to dedicated and virtual servers located in a user-specified data center, and an inter-data center networking infrastructure enables communication between the plurality of data centers.

Abstract: A prerequisite-based scheduler is disclosed which takes into account system resource prerequisites for execution. Tasks are only scheduled when they can successfully run to completion and therefore a task, once dispatched, is guaranteed not to become blocked. In a prerequisite table, tasks are identified horizontally, and resources needed for the tasks are identified vertically. At the bottom of the table is the system state, which represents the current state of all resources in the system. If a Boolean AND operation is applied to the task prerequisite row and the system state, and if the result is the same as the prerequisite row, then the task is dispatchable. In one embodiment of the present invention, the prerequisite based scheduler (dispatcher) walks through the prerequisite table from top to bottom until a task is found whose prerequisites are satisfied by the system state. Once found, this task is dispatched.
