In various embodiments, the threaded faster may have a threaded portion configured to engage two or three points of a mating thread, and the threaded portion has a thread defined by a crest portion, a leading flank, at least one root portion, and a trailing flank, all of which may be oriented at angle relative to the normal axis.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) may be used to introduce a message into the cloud computing network. The message may be received by a service associated with the cloud computing network. The message may trigger the service to generate data in response to receiving the message. The generated data may include temporal data that includes the date and time data specifying when the message was received by the service. The generated temporal data may be forwarded to a telemetry store associated with the cloud computing network. A user or report generating operator portal may generate a report that includes the generated temporal data. The generated report may be used to determine if the service associated with the cloud computing network is functioning properly.

Abstract: A remote desktop session host system includes a first terminal server including a first data collector, a second terminal server including a second data collector, and a data storage device. The first terminal server hosts a first terminal session. In response to determining that the first terminal server is underutilized, the first data collector creates a snapshot of the first terminal session, stores the snapshot on the data storage device, and logs off the first terminal session. The snapshot includes a context for the first terminal session. A second terminal session is launched on the second terminal server, and the second data collector retrieves the snapshot and provides the snapshot to the second terminal session to restore the context to the second session.

Abstract: A crucible for growing silicon ingots may include a vessel having a bottom wall and side walls surrounding an inner portion of the vessel. A coating layer is applied to inner surfaces of the bottom wall and the side walls, the coating layer including a temperature-resistant material compatible with ingot growth from molten silicon such as silicon nitride. A patterned protrusion layer is applied at the inner surface of the bottom wall, which includes a matrix consisting of a temperature-resistant material compatible with ingot growth from molten silicon such as silicon nitride. Furthermore, the patterned protrusion layer includes particles of a nucleation enhancing material such as silica, the particles locally protruding from the matrix. The protruding particles may generate a pattern of multiple nucleation points during crystal growth of the ingot. Due to such multiple nucleation points, a dislocation density defect propagation towards a top may be reduced during crystal growth such that, e.g.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing a virtual federation of remote portals. According to one embodiment, providing a virtual federation of remote portals can comprise defining, by a portal system, a configuration of a virtual federation of a plurality of nodes. For example, each node can comprise an application server executing a different enterprise application and maintaining application content for the enterprise application in a separate database. The portal system can also define access control information for a user of the portal system. Each node of the virtual federation can similarly define access control information for the user. The system can then provide access to the application content of the nodes at runtime based on the configuration of the virtual federation and the access control information for the user defined by the portal system and the access control information for the user defined by the nodes.
