Abstract: The correct clusters of operating system (OS) components to package for hydration to client devices is learned through analyzing telemetry data of numerous end devices. The telemetry data captures snapshots of the OS components that were used or loaded by the end devices during runs of different applications. An OS component service mines this telemetry data and compares the frequency in which pairs of OS components are used by the end devices together during the different applications runs. Using on these frequencies, the OS components are filtered in a relationship graph and an clustering algorithm is applied to determine whether the OS components are interdependent (meaning used together) or independent (meaning not used together). Interdependent OS components are packaged together into a hydration package and may be transmitted to client computing devices requesting any of their constituent OS components.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for generating a mapping binary file are described herein. In one example, a method includes mapping a function call from a legacy binary file to a function call from a virtualized namespace binary file using a builder to detect a build file that enables the mapping, the mapping comprising merging an export table from the legacy binary file and an export table from the virtualized namespace binary file. The method can also include storing the mapping of the function call from the legacy binary file to the function call from the virtualized namespace binary file in a mapping binary file and storing, in the mapping binary file, an exception detected from the combination. Furthermore, the method can include storing the mapping binary file in a storage location accessible by a loader.

Abstract: Systems and methods for composing a dynamic runtime API set schema employing a base API set schema and a set of API set schema extensions are disclosed. A base API set schema may be loaded into system memory at boot time with an associated set of host base binaries. A set of API set schema extensions binaries may also be loaded into system memory at boot time. At a second time, the API set schema extensions may be merged into the base API set schema on a dynamic as-needed basis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the formation of a coating of metal oxides comprising at least one precious metal from Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the elements, optionally in combination with titanium and/or zirconium, on an electrically conductive substrate made of steel or of iron, which consists in applying a sole solution of acetylacetonate(s) of the said metal(s) dissolved in a (plurality of) solvent(s) which specifically dissolve(s) each metal acetylacetonate; and in then drying and calcining the coated substrate. The invention also relates to an activated cathode obtained from the electrically conductive substrate coated with metal oxides and to its use in the electrolysis of aqueous solutions of alkali metal chlorides.

Abstract: A method and system for unified diagnosis of a network incident is provided. The unified diagnostics system is comprised of a monitoring tool, a network layer including a firewall, and a policy engine. The monitoring tool is invoked by a user in order to diagnose a network incident. The network layer and the policy engine generate various events that provide a history of their processing, and the monitoring tool collects these events. When the user attempts a network activity that fails, the network layer places an event notification in a notification queue. Then the monitoring tool analyzes the event notifications to identify events that are related to the same network incident. After analyzing the network incident and event information, the user can take the necessary action to correct the problem that caused the incident.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, computer-readable media, and systems for maintaining an inbound network path to a host in a sleep or a hibernation mode behind a plurality of network address translators (NAT) or firewalls. A network interface card (NIC) of a host is configured to periodically send or receive keep-alive packets. These packets enable network mappings that would ordinarily expire while a host is in a sleep or a hibernation mode. Power is maintained on the NIC while the host is in such mode, and the NIC responds as programmed including waking a host upon a certain event, such as receiving a data packet matching a preconfigured signature. During such time, the host may be in a wake on LAN mode.

A data server (3) is constituted by at least two server data processing machines (1, 2) capable of providing the same services.

Abstract: Metal carbide and metal nitride powders produced by the carbothermal reduction of one or more metal oxides reacted with a binder material and a carbonaceous additive or optionally, a binder capable of supplying carbon to the reaction. The metal oxides are selected from among SiO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, HfO.sub.2 and B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and are combined with the binder in the presence of carbon to form granules having a controlled pore volume. The granules are then subjected to a carbothermal reduction reaction, in the presence of a nitrogen or a neutral atmosphere, to produce metal nitrides or metal carbides respectively, having an excess of carbon incorporated therein. The product is subsequently heated to react the excess carbon within the compound with oxygen from the atmosphere to form carbon monoxide gas, which may be removed by an optional exhaust system.
