Abstract: Techniques for provisioning cloud services in cloud computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method can include providing a user portal configured to communicate with a deployment application configured by a user for provisioning cloud services in the cloud computing system. The method can also include receiving a notification from the user-configured deployment application that a provisioning process is initiated for a cloud service in the cloud computing system. In response to receiving the notification, the method can include assigning a distinct provisioning identifier to the initiated provisioning process associated with the notification and causing an output field associated with the distinct provisioning identifier to be displayed on the user portal. Subsequently, messages of status updates can be forwarded to the status display according to the assigned distinct provisioning identifier.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting drowsiness and awakening the user. The load on a piezo-ceramic eye blinking detection unit changes upon blinking activity resulting in an electrical output. This electrical output is then processed and compared to a predetermined time interval for blinking. An alarm is sounded if the processed electrical output is less than the predetermined time interval.
