  • Patent number: 9262212
    Abstract: A system includes a first computing device including a virtual machine (VM), a second computing device, and a third computing device coupled to the first computing device and to the second computing device. The third computing device includes a management module configured to create a backup image of the VM while the VM is executing on the first computing device, create at least one delta file for use in storing changes to the VM that occur after the backup image is created, and copy the backup image to the second computing device while the VM is executing. The management module is also configured to suspend the VM on the first computing device after the backup image has been copied to the second computing device, and execute the VM on the second computing device using the backup image and the at least one delta file.

  • Patent number: 9216144
    Abstract: A hair treatment process for providing dispersed colors by light diffraction including (a) coating the hair with a material comprising a polymer, (b) pressing the hair with a pressing device including one or more surfaces, and (c) forming a secondary nanostructured surface pattern on the hair that is complementary to the primary nanostructured surface pattern on the one or more surfaces of the pressing device. The secondary nanostructured surface pattern diffracts light into dispersed colors that are visible on the hair. The section of the hair is pressed with the pressing device for from about 1 to 55 seconds. The polymer has a glass transition temperature from about 55° C. to about 90° C. The one or more surfaces include a primary nanostructured surface pattern.

  • Patent number: 9108229
    Abstract: A method for removing dust-carrying air from a moving paper web is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a moving web, the web having a first side and a second side, the web moving at a sufficient rate to produce a boundary layer of adjacent dust-carrying air; providing a NACA duct, the NACA duct having an intake opening and walls that diverge in increasing cross-sectional area to an exhaust opening having greater cross sectional area than the intake opening; and submerging the intake opening into the boundary layer to scavenge dust-carrying air from the boundary layer.

  • Publication number: 20150083085
    Abstract: With reference to FIG. 1, the present invention provides an internal combustion engine comprising a variable volume combustion chamber (10), an air intake passage (18), a throttle (23), a bypass passage (28) which bypasses the throttle (23) and via which air and/or recirculated exhaust gas is supplied to the intake passage (18) via a delivery nozzle (27) located downstream of the throttle (23). A fuel injector (20) delivers fuel to a mixing chamber and the bypass passage (28) is connected to the mixing chamber so that air or recirculated exhaust gas flowing through the bypass chamber entrains fuel present in the mixing chamber and a resulting mixture is delivered to the intake passage (18) via the delivery nozzle (28).

  • Patent number: 8877752
    Abstract: Provided are 4(1H)-quinolone derivatives effective in inhibiting or eliminating the viability of at least one of the stages in the life-cycle of the malarial parasite, and to show a reduced propensity to induce resistance to the compound by the target parasite. In particular, the compounds can be derivatives of phenoxyethoxy-quinolones, and including, but not only, 7-(2-phenoxyethoxy)quinolin derivatives. These compounds may be administered by themselves, with at least one other derivative compound, or with other antimalarial compounds, to an animal or human subject. The therapeutic compositions can be and formulated to reduce the extent of a Plasmodium infection in the recipient subject, or to reduce the likelihood of the onset or establishment of a Plasmodium infection if administered prior to the parasite contacting the subject. The therapeutic compositions can be formulated to provide an effective single dose amount of an antimalarial compound or multiple doses for administering over a period of time.

  • Publication number: 20140278517
    Abstract: A software application that displays clinical entities and the relationships between them allows a user to perform a dynamic graph analysis. A data repository contains information on different clinical entities and the relationships between those clinical entities. The user can select an initial set from those clinical entities and can select a comparison set from those clinical entities. The selected clinical entities are displayed as nodes on a graphic user interface (GUI), and their relationships are displayed as links amongst those nodes on the GUI. The user can graphically rearrange the nodes through the GUI in order to reveal patterns and optimizations amongst those nodes. The software application also graphically integrates organization features into the GUI, which allows the user to further analyze the nodes.

  • Patent number: 8811967
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed that changes one or more properties of a user interface at a telecommunications terminal based on an incoming call. When a first caller calls the telephone number of the terminal directly and the terminal answers the call, the terminal presents the direct call to the user through a first user interface. When a second caller calls a telephone number that is associated with a data-processing system and the call is then redirected to the terminal, the terminal presents the redirected call to the user through a second user interface. The telecommunications terminal can be a cell phone that belongs to a user, and the data-processing system can be a private branch exchange that serves an office enterprise network that the user belongs to, wherein the private branch exchange extends the call to the user's cell phone when the user is out of the office.
