Abstract: An identity authenticator receives a first authentication credential from a first application at a first computing device. The identity authenticator then determines that the first authentication credential is associated with a second authentication credential for the first application at a second computing device based on a stored authentication identity. The identity authenticator then provides a stored execution state for the first application to the first computing device, wherein the stored execution state is associated, based on the stored authentication identity, with at least one of the first authentication credential or the second authentication credential.

Abstract: An example method of live migration of distributed databases may include implementing a first database access mode with respect to a distributed database to be migrated from an original set of storage servers to a destination set of storage servers, wherein, in the first database access mode, database read requests are routed to the original set of storage servers and database update requests are routed to both the original set of storage servers and the destination set of storage servers. The method may further include copying a plurality of records of the distributed database from the original set of storage servers to the destination set of storage servers. The method may further include switching to a second database access mode, in which database read requests are routed to the destination set of storage servers and database update requests are routed to both the original set of storage servers and the destination set of storage servers.

Abstract: An example method of live migration of distributed databases may include implementing a first intermediate database access mode with respect to a distributed database to be migrated from an original set of storage servers to a destination set of storage servers, wherein, in the first database access mode, database read requests are routed to the original set of storage servers and database update requests are routed to both the original set of storage servers and the destination set of storage servers.

Abstract: Resource access driven distributed transaction coordination system is described. A method may include receiving a request to perform a migration of user data from a first user account to a second user account and restricting access to a distributed resource as a result of receiving the request. When a distributed process requests access to a distributed resource, and that distributed process doesn't have any pending tasks, account migration may be performed.

Abstract: A self-reactive lock nut device with highly accurate torque coefficient includes a Slotted nut, a Counteracting nut including a housing of Counteracting nut and a threaded ring. When the Slotted nut is tightened, the threaded ring is positioned between the housing of the Counteracting nut and the bolt to serve as a wedge ring effectively prevents the Slotted nut from loosening. The self-reactive lock nut device in the present invention can produce an accurate bolt pre-load when the friction coefficient is small between the bolts and nuts used in mechanical industry to prevent loosening during operation. This present invention is advantageous because it increases the reliability and safety of the connection between bolts and nuts during operation, especially petroleum and petrochemical industry, power generation like offshore wind power and nuclear electricity, speed railway construction and bridge construction.

Abstract: A method for processing keystrokes is described herein. A first keystroke representing a symbol for a first operating system may be received on a first computer. The first keystroke may be translated to a second keystroke representing the symbol for a second operating system on a second computer. The second operating system is different from the first operating system. The second keystroke may be sent to the second computer.

Abstract: Described is a system and method that enables project management across application programs, including an email program, calendar program, spreadsheet program, word processing program, note taking program and others. A central project-related view provides access to project-related data items and may display a schedule, a task list of tasks filtered as being relevant to a project, a note page related to a project, and emails relevant to the project. In addition, other application objects (file, documents, presentations and spreadsheets) are also captured in the view and presented for easy access. Metadata including a project identifier is maintained in a database for the various data items, allowing rapid location of the data items related to a project via query techniques. A project palette allows access to the items from within another application program, and a project gallery allows a user alternative access to the files related to a project.
