Patent number: 9032397Abstract: A data processing system facilitates virtual machine migration with direct physical access control. The illustrative data processing system comprises a software-programmable trap control associated with hardware registers of a computer that selectively vectors execution control of a virtual machine (VM) between a host and a guest. The data processing system further comprises a logic which is configured for execution on the computer that programs the trap control to enable the virtual machine to directly access the hardware registers when the virtual machine is not migrated and to revoke direct access of the hardware registers in preparation for virtual machine migration.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Troy Miller, Mark A. Criss, Jerry James Harrow, Jr., Thomas Turicchi, Michael Wisner

Publication number: 20110111123Abstract: Economically attractive method of making carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad. The manufacturing method herein provides lowered manufacturing cycle time and reduced cost of manufacturing while enabling increased density of the final composite. The method includes: providing a fibrous nonwoven fabric segment produced from high basis weight fabric; optionally needling sequential layers of the fabric segments together to construct a brake disc or pad preform; carbonizing the fibrous preform to obtain a carbon-carbon preform; and infiltrating the resulting carbonized needled fibrous fabric preform via pitch or pitch and CVD/CVI processing in order to produce a carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad which has a final density of 1.60 to 1.90 grams per cubic centimeter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: May 12, 2011Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Mark L. LA FOREST, Mark Criss James, Neil Murdie

Publication number: 20110033622Abstract: Method of making carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad. The manufacturing method herein benefits from lowered manufacturing cycle time, reduced cost of manufacturing, and at the same time increased density of the final composite. The method includes: providing a fibrous nonwoven fabric segment comprised of OPAN fibers, the segment being produced from high basis weight fabric; providing a needler to needle layers of the fabric segments to one another; needling two layers of the fabric segments to one another and then needling sequential layers of the fabric segments on top of the layers thereof which have previously been needled together, to construct a brake disc or pad preform; carbonizing the fibrous preform to obtain a carbon-carbon preform; and infiltrating the resulting carbonized needled fibrous fabric preform via CVD/CVI processing in order to produce a carbon-carbon composite brake disc or pad which has a density of at least 1.70 grams per cubic centimeter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2009Publication date: February 10, 2011Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Mark L.
