Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for migrating the execution of a task from a first host system to a second host system by copying a snapshot of data required for starting the execution of a task from memory of the first host system to memory of a coupling facility, monitoring the execution of the task on the first host system, and, upon detecting failure of the execution of the task on the first host system, initiating execution of the task on the second host system by copying the snapshot of data from the memory of the coupling facility to the memory of the second host system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multilayer packaging films having an outer super-hydrophobic anti-abuse surface and to bags made therefrom, with the super-hydrophobic surface as the outermost surface. The packages made from the films of the invention do not get wet during post-packaging treatments requiring hot-water or steam such as shrinking, sterilization or pasteurization (FIG. 7A). At the exit of the shrinking apparatus, or of the sterilization or pasteurization apparatus, the packages do not need any final drying and can be directly placed into the cardboard boxes for shipment, with evident advantages of time and energy savings.

Abstract: A LED lamp for use in a lamp housing of a vehicle comprises a bulb body and a base. The bulb body comprises one or more light-emitting diodes. The base comprises a mounting portion and a heatsink portion. The mounting portion comprises a collar configured to attachably accept one end of the bulb body, and one or more mounting tabs configured to engage with the lamp housing to secure the LED lamp in place within the lamp housing. The mounting portion is integrally formed with the heatsink portion, and the bulb body is configured to be rotatable within the collar about a longitudinal axis of the LED lamp.

Abstract: Thermoplastic films for packaging having a super-hydrophobic sealant surface (0), flexible packages made therefrom and their use in packaging products, especially food products are described.
