Title: Enforcement of compliance policies in managed virtual systems.
Inventor: FITZGERALD JOSEPH
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2008-11-26
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for controlling and managing virtual machines and other such virtual systems. VM execution approval is based on compliance with policies controlling various aspects of VM. The techniques can be employed to benefit all virtual environments, such as virtual machines, virtual appliances, and virtual applications. For ease of discussion herein, assume that a virtual machine (VM) represents each of these environments. In one particular embodiment, a systems management partition (SMP) is created inside the VM to provide a persistent and resilient storage for management information (e.g., logical and physical VM metadata). The SMP can also be used as a staging area for installing additional content or agentry on the VM when the VM is executed. Remote storage of management information can also be used. The VM management information can then be made available for pre-execution processing, including policy-based compliance testing.

Title: Porous underwater breakwater for preventing shore erosion and forming a fishing ground, and method for producing environmentally-friendly blocks
Inventor: YANG YOU OK
IPC: A01K61/00
Filed: 2010-03-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to a porous underwater breakwater for preventing shore erosion and forming a fishng ground, and to a method for producing environmentally-friendly blocks for the underwater breakwater, wherein the underwater breakwater is formed by the environmentally-friendly blocks made of a mixture of effective micro-organisms (EM) and red clay such that valleys and ridges are formed on a seabed of a sea area, to thereby purify water and to prevent red tide outbreaks, and thus aclieving early marine afforestation, and wherein the wave energy of swelling waves is absorbed, dispersed, and diffracted at a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a top layer of the breakwater to decrease the wave energy and to thereby sigfuficantly decrease a gap between wave heights and restore an eroded area by means of beach nourishment. According to the porous underwater breakwater for preventing shore erosion and forming a fishing ground and the method for producing environmentally-friendly blocks for the underwater breakwater, an energy-absorbing unit formed by stacking multiple blocks on the seabed of the sea area absorbs, disperses, and diffracts the wave energy to effectively decrease the wave energy.

Title: Fracture monitoring
Inventor: HILL DAVID JOHN
IPC: E21B43/1185
Filed: 2010-05-27
Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for monitoring hydraulic fracturing during oil/gas well formation. A fibre optic cable (102) deployed down a well bore (106), which may be the well bore in which fracturing is performed, is interrogated to provide a distributed acoustic sensor. Data is sampled from at least one longitudinal sensing portion of the fibre and processed to provide at least fracturing characteristic. The fracturing characteristic may comprise the characteristics of high frequency transients indicative of fracturing events (606). The intensity, frequency, duration and signal evolution of the transients may be monitored to provide the fracturing characteristic. Additionally or alternatively the fracturing characteristic may comprise the longer term acoustic noise generated by fracture fluid flow to the fracture sites. The intensity and frequency of the noise may be analysed to determine the fracturing characteristic. The method allows real-time control of the fracturing process.
