Patent number: 11669358Abstract: Virtual Network Functions (VNF) applies automation and virtualization techniques to move current network functions from dedicated hardware to general purpose hardware of an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. A VNF may include one or more Virtual Machines (VM) and virtual networks which may implement the function of a network. Systems and methods provide a processing unit, a computation module and an allocation module for VNF allocation. The computation module is configured to determine an extinction factor corresponding to a datacenter unit based on a state of the datacenter and a VNF catalogue including a plurality of VNFs. The computation module is also configured to develop an allocation model based on the determined extinction factor. The allocation module is configured to allocate a first VNF from the plurality of VNFs in the datacenter based on the allocation model.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Mario Garrido Galvez, Ignacio Aldama Perez, Jose Maria Alvarez Fernandez, David Severiano Herbada, Jorge Menendez Lopez, Javier Garcia Lopez, Ruben Sevilla Giron

Publication number: 20200179477Abstract: The invention provides a composition rich in flavonoids based on natural extracts, comprising a flavonoid extract dispersed by melt mixing or extrusion and encapsulated in a polymer matrix. The invention is also a novel dietary supplement with the naturally occurring ingredient (?)-epicatechin, cacao extracted, that could potentially prevent or reduce the risk of Atherosclerotic pathology. The use of (?)-epicatechin is promising as a therapeutic agent due to its potential antioxidant activity and its diverse biological properties. (?)-Epicatechins are chemically unstable and extensively degraded in fluids of near neutral or greater pH, such as intestinal juice and bile. Current technologies used for taste masking and modified release as spray drying, liposome entrapment, co-crystallization, freeze drying, among others, suffer from numerous shortcomings, including poor repeatability and limitations on target delivery.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2020Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Omar Augusto Estrada Ramirez, Laura Restrepo Uribe, Maria del Pilar Noriega Escobar, Katalina Muñoz Durango, Catalina María Álvarez Ramírez, Juan Camilo Mazo Rivas, Lucas Penagos Vélez
