Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for depolymerizing a substituted vinyl polymer, such as polystyrene. The method can form part of a chemical recycling process to depolymerize a vinyl polymer feed into desired monomers or oligomers, which can then be used to re-polymerize and re-form new polymer materials. The method includes heating a mixture of a vinyl polymer having a pendant aromatic or ester group and a metal or carbon-carbon network catalyst. The heating is performed at a temperature above a melting temperature of the vinyl polymer, but low enough such that the catalyst is in solid form in the mixture. The product resulting from depolymerization and heating can include one or both of a corresponding monomer product and a corresponding oligomer product from the original vinyl polymer.

A representation of the resource scaling unit is stored.

Abstract: A “backup services container” comprises “backup toolkits,” which include scripts for accessing containerized applications plus enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. The backup services container is added to Kubernetes pods comprising containerized applications without changing other pod containers. For maximum value and advantage, the backup services container is “over-equipped” with toolkits. The backup services container selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to ready it for a pending backup. Interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system provides features that are not possible with third-party backup systems. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management within the illustrative backup services container. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod configured in a Kubernetes node.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for handling a RRC re-establishment procedure in a wireless network by a network apparatus. The method includes detecting a radio link failure at a UE in the wireless network; receiving an RRC re-establishment request message from the UE; sending a downlink RRC re-establishment message and facilitating the allocation of an uplink grant to the UE; receiving a RRC re-establishment complete message from the UE on the allocated uplink grant resource. The method can be used to improve RRC re-establishment procedure completion time by efficient provisions of UL grant allocation to send a RRC Re-EstablishmentComplete. Using the disclosed method, there is drastic signaling reduction/resource wastage during the RRE procedure, thereby resulting in power saving of the UE and the network apparatus.
