Abstract: A computing infrastructure that includes one active site and one passive site. Each site includes a private cloud connected to a public cloud, at least one virtual machine, a replication module to replicate each protected virtual machine in the other site, and at least one site recovery manager module paired with the corresponding site recovery manager module in the other site. The at least one site recovery manager module is configured to synchronize disaster recovery configuration information including at least one group of protected virtual machines and at least one recovery plan via the pairing, and to execute each recovery plan in case of disaster. Each site also includes a cloud orchestrator configured to update disaster recovery configuration information in each site recovery manager module on request.

Abstract: A computing infrastructure (INF) comprising one active site (AS) and one passive site (PS), each including: a private cloud (PRC) connected to a public cloud (PC); at least one virtual machine (VM); a replication module (RM) to replicate each protected virtual machine (VM) in the other site (AS, PS); at least one site recovery manager module (SRM) paired with the corresponding site recovery manager module (SRM) in the other site (AS, PS), configured to synchronize disaster recovery configuration information including at least one group of protected virtual machines (VM) and at least one recovery plan via the pairing, and to execute each recovery plan in case of disaster; a cloud orchestrator (CO) configured to update disaster recovery configuration information in each site recovery manager module (SRM) on request.

Abstract: A sealing member for a gas turbine engine is provided. The sealing member comprises a body portion configured to be positioned between at least a portion of a fan blade of the gas turbine engine and at least a portion of a fan platform disposed between adjacent fan blades for providing seal between the fan blade and the fan platform.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a receiver-in-canal assembly. The method comprises the steps of providing a receiver housing configured to be positioned in or at the ear canal of a user, and further being configured to comprise a receiver configured to output sound; providing a connector housing configured to be connected to a behind-the-ear part of a hearing aid; and providing an elongated tube configured for transfer of a signal from the connector housing to the receiver housing. In a further step the receiver housing and the connector housing are attached to opposite ends of the elongated tube. Subsequently, the tube is permanently deformed after attachment of the receiver housing and the connector housing to the tube by exposing it to heat in a first predetermined treatment period.

Abstract: A control arm for an motor vehicle and method of forming the same. The control arm includes a hydroformed member and first and second stamped members. The hydroformed member has a first end forming part of a first joint and a second end. The first stamped member forms part of a second joint and is coupled to the hydroformed member between the first end and the second end thereof. The first stamped member has a section rigidly connected to the hydroformed member and a section adapted to receive a first bushing. The second stamped member forms part of a third joint and is coupled to the second end of the hydroformed member. The second member has a portion rigidly connected to the second end of the hydroformed member and a portion adapted to receive a second bushing.

Abstract: The in vivo and in vitro use of Invaplex to transport materials, including functional proteins and biologically active nucleic acids, across eukaryotic cell membranes. The eukaryotic cells include a variety of cell types, e.g. insect, reptile, fish, mammal and tumor cells. The suitable materials for transport include biochemicals such as reporter molecules, antibiotics, biopharmaceuticals and carbohydrates including polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, polynucleotides, such as DNA and RNA, and glycoproteins and proteins including antigens, enzymes, antibodies, receptors and hormones. In addition, Invaplex enhances the immune response to DNA vaccines and also can function by itself as a vaccine against shigellosis.
