Abstract: The invention discloses a computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer system, for utilizing a hypervisor installed on a smartphone running separate virtual machines (VMs), one configured for personal use and another for work use, thereby allowing for separate operating environments on one piece of hardware. The method includes receiving one or more notifications, or calls, on the smartphone and determining whether the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. The method selects, automatically, the work VM as default if the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. If the one or more notifications, or calls, are not during work hours, the method automatically selects the personal VM as default. The method further notifies a user to switch VMs if the one or more notifications, or calls, occur during a time that is a non-default VM.

Abstract: Preventing overloading an electrical circuit includes determining, by one or more processors, an electrical load of an electrical circuit including a plurality of power control units each electrically connected to an electronic device and each electrically connected to an electrical output component powered through a circuit breaker set to trip at a safety threshold for the electrical circuit. The one or more processors receive from each of the power control units an electrical load status of the electrical circuit including the determined electrical load, and determine when a new electrical load corresponding to a new electronic device is added to the electrical circuit. The one or more processors determine when the new electrical load will cause the electrical load of the electrical circuit to exceed the safety threshold and, based on the determination, deny power to the new electronic device to prevent tripping the circuit breaker.

Abstract: Lithographic patterning method for creating features on a surface of a substrate, including the steps of: applying a resist material to the surface; performing resist processing steps, including at least: selectively exposing the resist material layer to a surface treatment step, wherein the resist material in the exposed locations is chemically modified; and developing the resist material layer to selectively remove the resist material locally. The method further comprises detecting, during or after the resist processing steps, a chemical modification of the resist material for monitoring or evaluating the processing steps. The step of detecting is performed by scanning the surface using a scanning probe microscopy device, and wherein the scanning includes contacting the surface with the probe tip in a probing area. The probing area coincides with at least one location of the exposed locations and non-exposed locations, for detecting the chemical modification. The document further describes a system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a remote desktop system which allows an application that executes on a remote computing device to be presented to a remote terminal as if the application is executing on the remote terminal. This system determines which of the remote computing device's application windows are top-level windows, and creates a rendering target for each top-level window. The rendering target is a graphics surface that is marshaled to the remote terminal. A PDU (Protocol Data Channel) is produced over this first graphics surface that includes a mapping of the location of the top-level window. A second graphics surface containing transparency information is created for a top-level window that contains a transparency characteristic. This second graphics surface is encoded and marshaled to the remote terminal separately from the first graphics surface. The client computing device receives and merges the two graphics surfaces, and renders a window with the expected transparency.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing direct access to graphical user interface (GUI) frame buffers and to associating input hardware with a login session. In one scenario, a computer system registers a plug-in software module with a remote desktop client. The registering includes requesting one or more frame buffers rendered for display on a computer system display. The computer system determines that a session has been established between a computer system user and the remote desktop client. The computer system then receives the requested frame buffers and displays the frame buffers on the computer system display and/or sends the received frame buffers to various registered third parties.

Abstract: A method includes determining if a server supporting an application and a client having remote desktop access to the server are on a same physical computing device. Upon determining that the server and the client are on the same physical computing device, graphics data related to the application is stored from the server to shared memory that is accessible by the server and by the client. Information to enable the client to retrieve the graphics data stored by the server in the shared memory is communicated from the server to the client.

Abstract: A shared resource computing (SRC) system that provides a mechanism for creating a shared session among individual sessions is described. In an ad hoc peer model, a session is created by individual users. One individual session assumes an administrative session role and invites other user sessions to join the shared session. Local environments from the individual sessions are published and the resources of the individual sessions form linked device groups that allow the resources to be aggregated for the shared session.
