  • Publication number: 20240156636
    Abstract: A method of manipulating a quick connect/disconnect system includes connecting a first coupling portion of a first connecting member to a fluid conductor and inserting a second coupling portion of the first connecting member within a third coupling portion of a second connecting member. The method further includes inserting the third coupling portion within a ring assembly which is rotatably coupled to the first coupling portion and engaging a mating feature on an external surface of the third coupling portion with a mating feature on an internal surface of the ring assembly. The method also includes rotating the ring assembly about the third coupling portion while the first mating portion is engaged with the second mating portion; and forcing the second coupling portion to move further within the third coupling portion by rotation of the ring assembly.

  • Publication number: 20170041187
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects include managing network connectivity of a virtual machine related to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. The shared pool of configurable computing resources has a set of virtual machines connected with an integration bridge. Using the shared pool of configurable computing resources, the virtual machine is associated with the set of virtual machines and set of flow mapping data which identifies the virtual machine is determined. The set of flow mapping data is transmitted and the virtual machine is connected with the integration bridge. In embodiments, the virtual machine is disconnected from the integration bridge and a selection is made to connect the virtual machine based on the set of flow mapping data.
