Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a container orchestration framework for facilitating development and deployment of software applications across different operating environments within an enterprise system. Upon receiving a service request for processing a set of data is received, the container orchestration framework determines one or more machines that store the set of data. Instead of processing the set of data remotely, the container orchestration framework deploys a container that encapsulates an application on the one or more machines. Each application instance running on the one or more machines are executed to process a corresponding subset of data stored on the machine locally. The container orchestration framework obtains the output data from executing the applications on each of the one or more machines, and present the output data as a response to the service request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signaling to reduce power consumption of wireless devices in power saving modes are described. An example method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by a network node to a wireless device in communication with the network node, a control information that is based on the wireless device being in a power-saving state that is different from a power-normal state. Another example method for wireless communication includes receiving, by a wireless device from a network node, a control information that is based on the wireless device being in a power-saving state that is different from a power-normal state.

Abstract: A communication method and an apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem of low data transmission efficiency. The method includes: in response to receiving a paging message from a terminal device, a terminal device determines, based on a preconfiguration and/or the paging message, a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource used to transmit a paging response, and sends the paging response to the access network device on the first PUSCH resource, where the paging response carries identity authentication information of the terminal device. After the access network device or a core network successfully performs identity authentication on the terminal device, downlink data transmission can be performed. Compared with a manner in which downlink data transmission can be performed only after a radio resource control (RRC) connection is set up or resumed, this manner can improve data transmission efficiency.

When face verification of the user succeeds and the air gesture is a preset air gesture, an application or a shortcut function is quickly enabled.

Abstract: Metal oxides are provided that have selective hydrogen combustion activity while also acting as solid oxygen carriers (SOCs). The metal oxides correspond to a metal oxide core of at least one metal having multiple oxidation states that is modified with an alkali metal oxide and/or alkali metal halogen (such as an alkali metal chloride). The resulting modified metal oxide, corresponding to a solid oxygen carrier, can allow for selective combustion of hydrogen while reducing or minimizing combustion of hydrocarbons, such as within a propane dehydrogenation environment. Additionally, it has been unexpectedly found that modifying the core metal oxide with the alkali metal oxide and/or alkali metal chloride can also mitigate coke formation on the solid oxygen carrier. Methods of using such metal oxides for selective hydrogen combustion are also provided.
