Publication number: 20240094992Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for the non-disruptive servicing of components of a user mode process. In examples, a user mode process comprises multiple components, each encapsulating a distinct piece of functionality. A replacement component is loaded and initialized. The replacement component is validated to ensure that the required dependencies of the replacement component are satisfied by the other components of the user mode process. The component to be serviced and the components having dependencies on the component to be serviced are suspended to enable a snapshot of the runtime state of the component to be serviced to be captured. The runtime state is copied to the replacement component and the components having dependencies on the component to be serviced are updated to reference the replacement component. The replacement component is executed and the suspended components are resumed. The component to be serviced is unloaded.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Tyler RETZLAFF, Omar CARDONA, Jie ZHOU, Dmitry MALLOY

Patent number: 10221984Abstract: High-pressure cryogenic fluid conduits that deliver high-pressure cryogenic fluids from a first point to a second point. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure cryogenic fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature is activated by the fracture of an annular ring that is positioned at either end of the high-pressure fluid conduit and is calibrated to fracture when exposed to the predetermined force. Fracture of the annular ring closes valves at each end of the high-pressure fluid conduit, thereby stopping the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source as well as the escape of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid container.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Zena Associates, LLCInventor: Robert Cardona

Patent number: 9625074Abstract: A high-pressure fluid conduit that conducts high-pressure fluid from a high-pressure fluid source to a high-pressure fluid container through a hose unit during open or normal operation. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature closes off the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source and closes off the escape of high-pressure fluid from the hose unit that entered the hose unit during open or normal operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Zena Associates, LLCInventor: Robert Cardona

Patent number: 9121536Abstract: A high-pressure fluid conduit that conducts high-pressure fluid from a high-pressure fluid source to a high-pressure fluid container through a hose unit during open or normal operation. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature closes off the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source and closes off the escape of high-pressure fluid from the hose unit that entered the hose unit during open or normal operation. In addition, when the hose unit fails, fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid source and high-pressure fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid container is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Zena Associates, LLCInventor: Robert Cardona
