  • Publication number: 20230315584
    Abstract: Examples described herein are generally directed to backing up and restoring of container clusters. According to an example, the conventional tight coupling between namespaces and tenants is eliminated by providing within a container platform a tenant abstraction for each tenant of the container platform that shares resources of a container cluster. The tenant abstraction for a given tenant includes information indicative of a subset of namespaces of the container cluster assigned to the given tenant. Responsive to receipt via a user interface of the container platform of a request to backup a particular tenant of the container platform: the container platform determines the subset of namespaces assigned to the particular tenant; and for each namespace, causes a namespace-level backup/recovery tool to backup object data for the namespace within a backup location, and backup data associated with persistent volume claims for each unit of cluster replication within the namespace.

  • Patent number: 8686802
    Abstract: A method of configuring a device comprising a MEMS resonator includes initiating operation of the device, estimating a first parameter of the MEMS resonator based on the initiated operation, the first parameter not varying with the bias voltage, monitoring the operation of the device at a plurality of levels of the bias voltage, calculating a second parameter of the MEMS resonator based on the monitored operation, the second parameter varying with the bias voltage, determining an operational level of the bias voltage based on the estimated first parameter and the calculated second parameter, and configuring the device in accordance with the determined operational level of the bias voltage.

  • Patent number: 4204529
    Abstract: A cervical collar comprising means adapted to underlie at least the head and trunk of the body of a patient for rigidly supporting a patient and comprising a head supporting portion and a trunk supporting portion, an elongated, elastically deformable core having a mid-portion comprising means for encircling the patient's neck while leaving the front of the neck uncovered, when the cervical collar is in place. The core has a pair of end portions each integral with the mid-portion and extending forwardly from the mid-portion at the front of the patient's neck when the cervical collar is in place. An elongated flexible cover around the core having a pair of end parts each extending longitudinally beyond a respective end portion of the core and means for preventing the longitudinal movement of the cover relative to the core.
