  • Publication number: 20240179066
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for defining policies for a container cluster that is configured by a first software defined network (SDN) controller cluster. A second SDN controller cluster for defining service policies that are not defined by the first SDN controller cluster receives, from a set of one or more adapters deployed in the container cluster for the second SDN controller cluster, resource identifiers for several resources of the container cluster. The second SDN controller cluster uses the resource identifiers to define a set of service policies. Then, the second SDN controller cluster distributes the set of service policies to a set of network elements to enforce the set of service policies on data messages associated with machines deployed in the container cluster configured by the first SDN controller cluster.

  • Publication number: 20240179071
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for using a first SDN controller as a Network Controller as a Service (NCaaS). The first SDN controller receives a first set of network attributes regarding network elements in a first container cluster configured by a second SDN controller, and a second set of network attributes regarding network elements in a second container cluster configured by a third SDN controller. These container clusters do not have a controller for defining particular network policies. Based on the sets of network attributes, the first SDN controller defines the particular network policies to control forwarding data messages between the first and second container clusters. The first SDN controller distributes at least a subset of the particular network policies to the first container cluster in order for network elements at the first container cluster to enforce on data messages exchanged between the first and second container clusters.

  • Publication number: 20240179070
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of implementing service rules for a container cluster that is configured by a first SDN controller cluster. The method registers for event notification from an application programming interface (API) server to receive notification regarding events associated with resources deployed in the container cluster. The method forwards to a second SDN controller cluster resource identifiers collected through the registration for resources of the container cluster. The second SDN controller cluster defines service policies that are not defined by the first SDN controller cluster. The method receives, from the second SDN controller cluster, service policies defined by the second SDN controller cluster based on the resource identifiers. The method distributes service rules defined based on the service policies to network elements in the container cluster to enforce on data messages associated with machines deployed in the container cluster configured by the first SDN controller cluster.

  • Publication number: 20240102554
    Abstract: An electric shift actuator includes a case body assembly, a case cover assembly covering the case body assembly, and a gear reduction mechanism assembly arranged in the case body assembly. The gear reduction mechanism assembly includes a motor subassembly, a face gear set, a first-stage gear reduction subassembly, and an output gear assembly configured to be connected to a parking mechanism. An output of the motor subassembly meshes with an input of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly in parallel to form first-stage gear reduction transmission, an output of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly vertically meshes with an input of the face gear set to form second-stage gear reduction transmission, and an output of the face gear set meshes with an input of the output gear assembly in parallel to form third-stage gear reduction transmission. The actuator has functions of emergency parking and manual unlocking with improved safety and redundancy.

  • Publication number: 20240092729
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying key intermediates of Citalopram, i.e. 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxybutyl]-3-hydroxymethylbenzonitrile and a salt thereof. The method comprises dissolving crude 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxybutyl]-3-hydroxymethylbenzonitrile (compound of formula I containing formaldehyde impurity) with an organic solvent, adding a washing solution, controlling the temperature, stirring, leaving to stand for layering, and removing the aqueous layer, so as to obtain a purified organic solution of 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxybutyl]-3-hydroxymethylbenzonitrile. The method provided by the present invention can effectively remove aldehyde group-containing impurities in the intermediate. The method of the present invention has the advantages of simple operation, cheap raw materials and mild conditions, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

  • Patent number: 11933138
    Abstract: A sliding sleeve device has an outer cylinder, a circulation hole being provided in the wall of the outer cylinder; and an inner cylinder provided in an inner cavity of the outer cylinder. In an initial state, the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are fixed to each other to seal the circulation hole. In a first state, the inner cylinder is movable relative to the outer cylinder, thereby unsealing the circulation hole. A protection mechanism is provided in the circulation hole, which has an inner member located on the radially inner side and an outer member located on the radially outer side.
