  • Publication number: 20240154415
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. A current value for an aggregate power threshold of a plurality of hosts may be identified. During a first time period, an aggregate power consumption of the plurality of hosts may be managed using the current value for the aggregate power threshold. A triggering event indicating a modification to the aggregate power threshold is needed may be detected. A new value for the aggregate power threshold may be determined based on the triggering event. During a second time period, the aggregate power consumption of the plurality of hosts may be managed using the new value for the aggregate power threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240154417
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to orchestrating power consumption reductions across a number of hosts. Power consumption of power-drawing devices (e.g., hosts, servers, etc.) may be monitored with respect to a power threshold. When the current power consumption corresponding to those devices breaches the power threshold, or at any suitable time, the system may identify a set of reduction actions configured to reduce aggregate power consumption. The power threshold may be updated dynamically based on the operational status of related systems and environmental factors. A number of response levels may be utilized, each having an association to a corresponding set of reduction actions. The impact to customers, hosts, and/or workloads can be computed at run time based on current conditions and workloads, and a particular response level can be selected based on the computed impact. These techniques enable a sufficient, but least impactful response to be employed.

  • Publication number: 20240093351
    Abstract: A variable hardness nanocomposite coating and method for its production. The variable hardness nanocomposite coating can be applied as a single layer on metallic engine components that require a break-in to achieve physical mating of interacting surfaces thereby reducing friction and optimizing engine performance. The single layer nanocomposite coating has a relatively higher carbon content and lower hardness at the surface region and a relatively lower carbon content and relatively higher hardness region as one proceeds towards a surface of the metal component being coated.

  • Patent number: 11859799
    Abstract: A light fixture connection assembly includes an internally threaded stem and two connectors that couple with a top surface and a bottom surface of a light fixture shade. Bores throughout the stem and connectors define a passageway for electrical wiring connected to a light sourced within the light fixture shade. The connection assembly reduces water-leakage into the hollow passage, and prevents electrical hazards and premature termination of the useable life of the light fixture.

  • Patent number: 11847731
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for interactive editing of virtual three-dimensional scenes. In the disclosed techniques, rendering is divided into (1) an interactive phase during which a user interactively edits a virtual scene while preview image frames are rendered using a modified ray tracing technique, and (2) a refinement phase during which full ray tracing is performed to show the user a final rendered image frame. The modified ray tracing technique may limit the number of bounces of light rays and/or the computations performed at each bounce, thereby reducing computational expense relative to a full ray tracing technique. Further, the modified ray tracing technique may be user-selectable and associated with a particular department within an animation studio.

  • Publication number: 20230321161
    Abstract: A composition comprising microcapsules in an oral dosage form is described. The oral dosage form comprises gastric-resistant ileal-sensitive microcapsules comprising a matrix and active agent such as probiotic bacterium, contained within the matrix, in which the matrix comprises denatured whey protein, and in which the microcapsules are be coldgelated and vacuum dried microcapsules, and thus are subject to less heat treatment than conventional probiotic-containing microparticles. The microcapsules may be formed by extrusion through a single or double nozzle and are vacuum dried to a water activity (Aw) of 0.30 or less. The microcapsules may be subjected to two separate vacuum drying steps to further reduce the water activity and provide microcapsules with greater stability against moisture, humidity and thermal processes such as pasteurisation and Ultra High Temperatures (i.e.
