Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid cloud control plane (HCCP) that manages hybrid cloud workloads. For example, the HCCP manages workloads across public and private cloud data centers and on-premise data centers. The HCCP can leverage a Global ID (global identifier) to create a global trace across the hybrid cloud ecosystem. Also discloses is a “hybrid cloud connected” capability. In one embodiment, a hybrid cloud connected capability comprises of a global identity, a hybrid cloud network connection, and a managed API (application programming interface) used to seamlessly perform transactions in a hybrid cloud environment.

Abstract: A method of providing a foam accoustical insulation, thermal insulation, and/or moisture-barrier, in which a polyurethane prepolymer composition is applied to a substrate in situ and then expanded and cured using water pre-applied to the substrate, ambient atmospheric moisture, and/or added atmospheric moisture.

Abstract: A polyurethane composition containing a polyurethane prepolymer, a foam stabilizer, a diluent, and optional auxiliary agents, useful as an adhesive for building insulation and/or decorative facing on a variety of substrates.

Abstract: In a device for dosing two-component products of a predetermined mixing ratio, the dispensing accuracy has been improved in conjunction with simple design and uncomplicated operation. According to the invention, two chambers are provided which are put under pressure by means of two pistons that are displaced simultaneously in opposite directions from a starting point. A mixer means is arranged at the closed longitudinal end of a first chamber, while the closed longitudinal end of the other chamber is connected to the mixer means over a component line that leads centrally through the first chamber.

Abstract: The automatic filling and packaging of foodstuffs under aseptic to low-bacterial count conditions is accomplished by disinfecting a packaging material for at least one second by means of high-intensity ultraviolet radiation, generated by a high-current, low-pressure mercury discharge with a current density of more than 1 A/cm.sup.2 and a mercury pressure of 5.times.10.sup.-3 to 5.times.10.sup.-1 Torr, wherein the spectral radiation intensity of the 253.7 nm line of the ultraviolet radiation UV on the packaging material 1, 2, 3 is set to at least 0.05 W/cm.sup.2.

Abstract: A thermionic cathode of tungsten or molybdenum is made with an activating content of lanthanum oxide and is supplied with a carbonaceous reducing agent either by incorporation in the bulk material of the cathode body or by carburizing, so that the reducing agent comprises at least in part a carbide of the carrier metal. Lower operating temperatures and higher emissivity are obtained compared to thoriated tungsten filaments and longer useful life compared to other cathodes activated by other rare earth oxides. The temperature-emissivity characteristics are such that good results are obtainable even within the temperature range in which molybdenum is usable as a carrier material.

Abstract: Apparatus for generating ultraviolet radiation of high spectral radiance whereby the radiation is produced in a discharge tube having a thermoemissive cathode and a discharge space and filled with mercury/argon by means of a wall-stabilized direct-current gas discharge at a mercury pressure p.sub.Hg of between 5 .times. 10.sup.-.sup.3 and 5 .times. 10.sup.-.sup.1 Torr and a current density j of the discharge current I of between 1 and 25 A/cm.sup.2. The discharge tube incorporates a pressure-equalizing space connecting the cathode space to the anode space whereby the sum of the volumes of the cathode space, anode space and pressure-equalizing space is greater than the volume of the discharge space. The pressure of the argon is maintained between 0.01 and 10 Torr. A first control element is provided which regulates the current density j of the discharge current I to a constant value j.sub.O between 1 and 25 A/cm.sup.2. A second control element is provided which regulates the pressure p.sub.
