  • Publication number: 20160179565
    Abstract: A device remote access method includes receiving, by a bus filter driver on a thin client (TC) side, a request for remote access by a virtual machine (VM) side to a physical device on the TC side, converting, by the bus filter driver, the request for remote access into a remote operation instruction that may be read by a physical device driver, and sending, by the bus filter driver, the remote operation instruction to the physical device driver, where the remote operation instruction is used to instruct the physical device driver to drive the physical device to execute a read/write operation and return remote response data that carries an execution result of the read/write operation which implements remote access by the VM side to the physical device on the TC side, and because a device driver is not modified, the TC side may continue to normally access the physical device.

  • Publication number: 20160074849
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a molecular sieve catalyst. A water-in-oil micro-emulsion including a continuous phase containing an organic solvent and a dispersed phase containing an aqueous solution containing one or more metal salts and a water-soluble organic carbon source is prepared, hydrolyzed, and azeotropically distilled to form a mixture solution. The mixture solution is heated to carbonize the water-soluble organic carbon source to form nanoparticles each having a core-shell structure including a carbon-shelled metal-oxide. The nanoparticles containing the carbon-shelled metal-oxide are dispersed in a molecular sieve precursor solution. A nanoparticle-loaded molecular sieve is formed from the molecular sieve precursor solution containing the nanoparticles, and then calcined to remove carbon there-from to form a metal-oxide loaded molecular sieve.
