Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to carbon footprint sizing for cloud solutions. An account of the cloud solution provides information related to the expected usage of the cloud solution (e.g., a number of users, a number of processes to be performed, or both). Based on the information, an amount of computing resources (e.g., a number of processor cores, an amount of memory, networking resources, or any suitable combination thereof) to be used for the account is determined. The amount of computing resources is used in conjunction with data about available computing devices to assign computing devices to the account. The carbon emission for the assigned computing devices may be determined based on the power consumption of the computing device, the power usage efficiency of a data center housing the computing device, and a carbon emission intensity for the energy source that provides power to the data center.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for evaluating data obtained from textile fabrics. In order to devise a process which allows data obtained from textile fabrics to be easily compared, assessed in a differentiated manner as to their significance and evaluated, the data are determined in a section (3a,3b) of the surface of the fabric, sorted according to at least two parameters (13,14) and represented in an image (12, 30) as a function of the parameters.

Abstract: A method for creating markings on a planar textile body and a thread-like body for carrying out the method. According to the invention, the markings on a planar textile body can survive all following process steps and permits a clear marking of position on the textile surface. During production of the planar body, a thread-like body is included, which comprises a support with a filament wound around the support. The support is divided into marked zones and mark-free zones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating markings on a planar textile body and a thread-like body for carrying out said method. According to the invention, a method for the creation of markings on a planar textile body, which will survive all following process steps and permits a clear marking of position on the textile surface can be achieved, whereby, during production of the planar body, a thread-like body (15) is included, which comprises a support (16) with a filament (17) wound around said support and whereby said support is divided into marked zones (18, 19, 20) and mark-free zones (21, 22, 23).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for recording causes of faults in products, in which the faults are recorded and counted. The recorded faults are represented according to selected parameters, so that a fault pattern is obtained. From this, a reference to the cause of the fault is produced.
