  • Patent number: 11120148
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a security orchestrator to detect a virtual machine deployed in a virtual environment. The virtual machine includes a tag storing information associated with the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines that the tag contains one or more security elements, the security elements indicating information for determining security settings and policies to be applied to the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines the security settings and policies associated with the one or more security elements. The security orchestrator then assigns or applies the security settings and policies for the virtual machine based on values of the one or more security elements.

  • Patent number: 5685089
    Abstract: A process for spray drying of ceramic suspensions for the production of a powder which is dust free, sufficiently stable for storage and with good flow characteristics. The ceramic suspension is spray dried in a chamber (1) to a powder with a water content which is 0.1-10% higher than required in the final powder and hereafter fluidized in a fluid bed (6) with ambient air for an evaporative cooling process, whereby the water content is reduced to the required value at the same time as the powder is cooled. The produced powder has a high water content without tendency to lumping.
