Abstract: A catalyst is provided for hydrodeoxygenation and hydroisomerization of paraffins having higher activity. The catalyst contains a molecular sieve, such as SAPO-11, a metal component such as platinum and/or palladium or nickel tungsten sulfide or nickel molybdenum sulfide and a binder such as gamma alumina. The catalyst exhibits a high proportion of weak acid sites and a relatively equal distribution of the metal component on the molecular sieve and the binder.

Abstract: An example apparatus includes a dependency graph generator to generate a dependency graph based on a resource request file specifying a first resource and a second resource to deploy to a resource-based service, the dependency graph representative of the first resource being dependent on a second resource, a verification controller to generate a status indicator after a determination that a time-based ordering of a first request relative to a second request satisfies the dependency graph, and a resource controller to cause transmission of the first request and the second request to the resource-based service based on the dependency graph, and, after determining that the time-based ordering of the first request relative to the second request satisfies the dependency graph, cause transmission of the status indicator to a user device.

Abstract: An example method of aggregating authorization information for a user accessing a service executing in a virtualized computing system includes: receiving, at an authorities aggregating service (AAS) executing in the virtualized computing system, a request for an authorization context for the user from the service; requesting, by the AAS, authorization information from at least one authorization source registered with the AAS for the user; generating the authorization context by aggregating the authorization information; and returning the authorization context to the service.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of piles used for supporting buildings and the like. Piles can be used as support, for onshore or offshore structures such as tall buildings and wind turbines. The present invention is in particular suited for driving small- and mid-scale piles, which are often used in softer, non-cohesive, soils, such as sandy soils.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to handle dependencies associated with resource deployment requests are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a dependency graph generator to generate a dependency graph based on a resource request file specifying a first resource and a second resource to deploy to a resource-based service, the dependency graph representative of the first resource being dependent on a second resource, and a resource controller to send a first request a second request to the resource-based service based on the dependency graph and in response to a verification controller determining that a time-based ordering of the first request relative to the second request satisfies the dependency graph, send the first request and the second request to a user device.

Abstract: A quorum in a cluster of nodes in a quorum-based computing system can be dynamically updated such that even just a single remaining operational node can be sufficient to support continued operation of the computing system, while other node(s) in the cluster are in a failure state. When the other node(s) in the cluster become enabled again, the quorum can be adjusted back to an original quorum of the cluster. The content of storage devices in such other node(s) can be deleted when the node(s) start up from the failure state, and up-to-date content from the operational node can be synchronized into the newly started other node(s), thereby enabling content to be consistent and updated in all of the operational nodes in the cluster/quorum.

Abstract: System and computer-implemented method for executing a workflow definition with a set of function definitions having code executable with at least one cloud services provider in a plurality of cloud services providers involve reception of a request to execute a function definition from the workflow definition and a determination of whether code contained in the function definition is only executable at that particular cloud services provider. A provider function at the cloud services provider is invoked using the function definition and an execute command for the provider function is transmitted for the provider function.

Abstract: System and computer-implemented method dynamically deploying serverless functions in a cloud architecture utilize a code execution service to receive a request to trigger execution of a serverless function and to determine deployment status information for a previous serverless function version based on the request. The deployment status information is then used to generate a code execution service command for the code execution service to deploy the serverless function.

Abstract: An example application build automation system can include a management engine configured to receive a first set of definitions corresponding to a first configuration file, receive a second set of definitions corresponding to a second configuration file, generate a first VSCI image using the first configuration file, and generate a second VSCI image using the second configuration file. The example system may further include a build engine configured to receive the first VSCI image and the second VSCI image, generate a build configuration based on the first VSCI image and the second VSCI image, and deploy the build configuration to generate a plurality of build artifacts.

Abstract: An articulated arm structure for an awning with an integrated electrical installation relates to an articulated arm structure for an awning, of the type designed to have an integrated electrical installation, mainly of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting, but also of electrical wiring to supply any device requiring electrical energy for its operation, and has a series of improvements which, among others, provides advantages of ease of assembly, enlargement of the lit-up area and improved aesthetics.
