  • Publication number: 20240146773
    Abstract: A policy management server manages a segmentation policy and automatically configures an enclave protection device consistently with the segmentation policy so that that the segmentation policy can be enforced with respect to workloads within a secure enclave protected by the enclave protection device. The policy management server identifies protected workloads that are members of a secure enclave and external workloads that are external to the secure enclave. The policy management server identifies cross-boundary rules of the segmentation policy affecting traffic between the protected workloads and external workloads. The policy management server generates and distributes a configuration of the enclave protection device to enable enforcement of the cross-boundary rules pertaining to traffic passing through the enclave protection device.

  • Patent number: 10798151
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes accessing, using one or more processing units, application parameters associated with an application. The application parameters define constraints for hosting the application using one or more of a plurality of provisioned computing environments available over a computer network from multiple computing resources vendors. Each vendor is associated with a corresponding vendor-specific provisioned computing environment that includes computing resources available to be provisioned for use by a multiple entities distinct from the vendors. The method includes accessing, using the one or more processing units, vendor-specific data for the vendor-specific provisioned computing environments.

  • Publication number: 20190263025
    Abstract: Embodiments of the mold for making the Chemical Resistant Composite Support Pad are comprised of a top and bottom molds where the top mold is comprised of a mold lip, a pneumatic ejection port, a lid aperture, a magnetic cover for the pneumatic ejection port, and a lid. The method of making a chemical resistant composite support pad comprises the steps of spraying a coating of polymer agent into the top mold and the bottom mold. A controlled run of an agent is sprayed into the joined top and bottom molds along the joint of the top mold and the bottom mold. Polymeric foam is injected through the lid aperture, the lid is replaced, and the foam is allowed to cure. The molds are separated, and compressed air is used to eject the support pad out of the mold. Any irregularities are repaired by spraying the coating of polymer agent.

  • Patent number: 9894148
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system comprises a client interface configured to receive an application and a parameter associated with the application, a vendor interface configured to receive vendor-specific information from vendor-specific computing environments, and an environment analyzer configured to determine a first vendor-specific computing environment from the vendor-specific computing environments for hosting the application based on the application parameter. The client interface is further configured to communicate a request for approval to host the application in the first vendor-specific computing environment and receive an indication to not host the application using the first vendor-specific computing environment.

  • Patent number: 9525313
    Abstract: A stator back-iron or rotor back-iron of an electric motor, for receiving coil windings comprises a support (2) with a plurality of teeth (3) radially distributed about the support. The teeth are arranged to receive wire windings and are integrally formed with the support. The teeth and support are formed of laminations. The support further comprises a plurality of engagement means (5) formed between the teeth arranged to receive additional teeth (6) having wire windings mounted thereon. Preferably the engagement means are provided between adjacent teeth. The support and integral teeth provide a rigid structure while the spacing provided by using additional teeth makes it easier to wind coils.
