Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that detects anomalous events in a virtual machine. During operation, the system obtains time-series garbage-collection (GC) data collected during execution of a virtual machine in a computer system. Next, the system generates one or more seasonal features from the time-series GC data. The system then uses a sequential-analysis technique to analyze the time-series GC data and the one or more seasonal features for an anomaly in the GC activity of the virtual machine. Finally, the system stores an indication of a potential out-of-memory (OOM) event for the virtual machine based at least in part on identifying the anomaly in the GC activity of the virtual machine.

Abstract: Provided are a dish washing machine capable of effectively removing garbage which remains at the bottom of a washing tub and a filter and a method of controlling the same. When washing water is sprayed from a nozzle while a vane is positioned at a reference position during a drainage operation, since a deflection angle of the vane is bent back and the washing water is strongly sprayed toward a rear wall of a washing tub, the washing water may form a fast and strong water current over a bottom plate of the washing tub, and the fast and strong water current may remove garbage which remains at a filter while flowing over the bottom of the washing tub. Also, even when an excessive amount of garbage is accumulated at a filter at a top end of a sump and blocks the filter during a washing operation such as preliminary washing, main washing, etc., the filter is automatically washed using a small amount of water, thereby eliminating inconvenience of a user to directly separate and wash the filter.

Abstract: A housing of an active component, which is used to install an active source, includes a main portion and at least two fixing portions. The main portion has side walls. The active source is installed on the main portion. The Young's modulus of the material making the fixing portion is different from the Young's modulus of the material making the main portion. The fixing portion is formed with fixing holes, and is connected to the side wall of the main portion. It therefore provides better effects of shock proofing and shock isolation without unnecessary noise, and prevents a fixing element fixing the active component from being loosened, with enhanced stability of the active component. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method for housing of the active component.
