Title: Secure virtual machine migration
Inventor: BRANDWINE ERIC JASON
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2014-01-22
Abstract: A formalized set of interfaces (e.g., application programming interfaces (APIs)) is described, that uses a security scheme, such as asymmetric (or symmetric) cryptography, in order to enable secure migration of virtual machine instances between multiple host computing devices. The migration is performed by receiving a request to migrate a virtual machine where the request includes public keys for the source host computing and the destination host computing. The source and destination hosts use the public keys to establish an encrypted session and then use the encrypted session to migrate the virtual machine.

Abstract: A dispenser, comprising a housing defining an interior volume for receiving a stack (10) of sheet products. The dispenser comprises an actuator (2) and a dispensing member (3), wherein the actuator is operable by a user to activate a dispensing member to dispense a desired number of sheet products. The actuator includes two or more user interfaces that a user can actuate to transmit to the dispensing member an amount of movement corresponding to different numbers of sheet products being dispensed depending upon which of the user interfaces is actuated. The dispenser comprises a support structure for engaging a front face of the stack including opposed shelves for supporting opposed sides of the front face of the stack. A roller (15) of the dispensing member is located between the opposed shelves and engages and grips on the front face of the stack. The actuator imparts a predetermined amount of rotation to the roller, which causes the roller to separate one or more sheet products at the front face of the stack in a one-at-a-time fashion. A different amount of rotation is imparted to the roller depending upon which of the user interface ledges is actuated, thereby allowing selection of different numbers of sheet products to be dispensed.

IPC: F24F11/02
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: When the outside air temperature is low an air conditioner (1) performs a heating operation while the main heating is provided by a heater (2). When the outside air temperature is high the main heating is provided by the heating operation of the air conditioner (1), and the heater (2) provides auxiliary heating. During the heating operation performed by the air conditioner (1), the heater (2) is turned off first, before the room temperature reaches the set temperature. In other words, the heater (2) is on for a longer period when the outside air temperature is lower. Thus, the heating capacity of the air conditioner (1) is supplemented by operating the heater (2) in response to the conditions, thereby providing a comfortable level of heating.

Patent CA-2927696-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KNOBLACH WALTER
IPC: F17D5/02
Filed: 2014-10-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a hose (2) or tube for transporting a gas specimen, having · an inner envelope (4), forming a diffusion barrier and comprising a plurality of perforation holes (6), and · an outer envelope (8), forming a diffusion layer and resting on the inner envelope (4). The object of the invention is to develop a hose (2) or tube of this type so as to ensure transport of a gas specimen over as great a distance as possible without substantial weakening of the concentration, and at the same time without impairing the ability of the gas to be detected to diffuse into the hose (2) or tube. For this purpose, it is provided according to the invention that the outer envelope (8) comprises diffusion-inhibiting sealing zones (20) on its inner surface (18), which zones overlap the perforation holes (6) in the inner envelope (4). When there is a sufficiently high concentration in the surroundings, gas molecules diffuse into the diffusion layer from the outside and thereby cause the outer envelope to swell. This causes the outer envelope, which usually rests on the inner envelope, to lift off the inner envelope, even in the region of the sealing zones. The gas molecules can flow through the diffusion layer of the outer envelope, the temporary gap formed between the outer envelope and the inner envelope and through the perforation holes, thus bypassing the sealing zones.

Abstract: This lock tumbler protector system allows store-bought padlocks to be locked into a Pick-proof Padlock Protector such that the constrained space therein thwarts capability to pick the padlock. Thus the security vulnerability of a distant supply requiring third party delivery is also solved. Said store-bought padlock installs into the Pick-proof Padlock Protector by sliding into a cradle, and locks securely to both the Pick-proof Padlock Protector and what's being locked. And since the padlock is made pick-proof, it can only be opened without the key by being cut off Thus when the clasp and Pick-proof Padlock Protector are covered in unreproducible graffiti, the padlock cannot be replaced with a compromised padlock that's been rebuilt with a duplicate key without an observant owner knowing.  Otherwise padlocks are easy to pick, and thereby a spare key can be made, allowing ready access to what's being locked whenever the intruder wants.
