Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to a destination path for use with multiple different types of VMs, and techniques for using the destination path to convert, copy, or move data objects stored in one type of VM to another type of VM. The destination path represents a standardized (canonical) way to refer to VM objects from a proprietary VM. A destination location may be specified using the canonical destination path, and the location may be converted into a hypervisor-specific destination location. A source data object may be copied or moved to the destination location using a hypervisor-agnostic path.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide techniques for managing VM migrations that use relatively simple and uncomplicated commands or APIs that can be executed through scripts or applications. Configuration and preparation for the conversion may be addressed by one set of command-lets or APIs, while the conversion itself is handled by a separate set of command-lets or APIs, which allows the conversion command-lets to be uncomplex and to require little input. Moreover, the architecture-specific commands can be largely abstracted away, so that the configuration and conversion processes can be carried out through straightforward general commands, which automatically cause an interface (e.g., at the conversion server) to call upon any necessary architecture-specific functionality.

Abstract: The present application provides exemplary methods, mediums, and systems for converting a virtual machine from management by one type of hypervisor to management by a second, different type of hypervisor. The exemplary method involves: (1) discovering information about the source VM; (2) making a backup copy of the source VM data (3) storing the information in the source VM; (4) copying the source VM data using cloning; (5) starting the destination VM with the cloned data by attaching the copied disks to the destination VM; (6) restoring the source VM to its original state; and (7) starting the destination VM and applying the saved system configuration to a destination guest OS. In some embodiments, the first type of hypervisor (the source hypervisor) may be a Hyper-V hypervisor, and the second type to hypervisor (the destination hypervisor) may be a VMware hypervisor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an alignment layer rubbing apparatus including a table for seating a glass substrate and a rubbing roller movably positioned on top of the table so as to rub an alignment layer of the glass substrate seated on the table. The table and the rubbing roller are tilted at a predetermined angle, and the rubbing roller is adapted to move at an angle of 0° on the table. Therefore, the damage inflicted on the alignment layer due to poor aligning of rubbing fabric attached to the rubbing roller or due to the existence of an alien substance on a surface of the rubbing roller is not concentrated, but rather spans across a region. This reduces the occurrence of rubbing stains and the visibility of damaged parts.

Abstract: Provided are a compound having an activity for inhibiting dioxin toxicity, a pharmaceutical composition including the compound and a method of treating disease resulting from dioxin toxicity using the compound. More particularly, the compound is represented by formula 1: where, R1 may be a hydrogen atom, a C1-C5 alkyl group or an alkylketone group; and R2 may be a hydrogen atom, a C1-C10 alkyl group or —COR3, wherein R3 may be a C1-C5 alkyl group, a C1-C5 alkylamide group, a C3-C12 aryl group or a heteroaryl group. A compound having an activity for inhibiting dioxin toxicity by directly antagonizing a dioxin receptor and specifically lessening dioxin-associated toxicity without an adverse effect resulting from an overdose of the compound or an outbreak of another disease can be obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of protecting cells against damage caused at least in part by apoptosis, comprising administering to subjects a therapeutic dose of leumorphin having cytoprotective activity, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of leumorphin having a cytoprotective activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing dielectric ceramic powder and a multilayer ceramic capacitor using the ceramic powder. According to the invention, BaCO3 powder is dispersed into a solution of solvent and dispersant to prepare BaCO3 slurry and then the resultant BaCO3 slurry is wet-milled. Also, TiO2 powder slurry is mixed into the wet-milled BaCO3 slurry to form mixed slurry and then the mixed slurry is dried into mixed powder. Finally, the dried mixed powder is calcined to produce BaTiO3 powder.

Abstract: The present invention provides peptide complexes comprising phospholipase D and one or morephospholipase D-interacting peptides. The peptide complexes are useful in screening assays foridentifying compounds effective in modulating the peptide complexes and in treating and/or preventing diseases associated with phospholipase D and it's interacting partners. In addition, methods for screening modulators of the peptide complexes or interacting members thereof are provided.
