Title: Managing software updates in multiple virtual machines
Inventor: ABLES TIMOTHY
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2006-02-09
Abstract: Virtual machines of a virtual data center generate runtime instances with a software image, hardware configuration, management configuration and user/service configuration. Virtual data center resource use is monitored by reference to the management configuration of runtime instances, such as for environmental controls like power, cooling and balancing, or for policy limitations on users, software or hardware. Users or services generate runtime instances of stored virtual machines by reference to the user/service configuration, such as pricing or priority. In one example embodiment, the virtual machine software image comprises an application (eg an operating system) system preparation file that populates a read only application image common to plural virtual machines. Information unique to each virtual machine with respect to the application is maintained in the user/service configuration of the virtual machine and version information is maintained in the management configuration of the virtual machine. Updates to the application across each virtual machine are performed by updating the read only image or any of its configuration information for hardware configuration, management configuration or user/service configuration.

[Classes 2 (iii) and 15 (ii)] Cellulose ester or ether fibres are dyed or printed in blue shades, fast to light, by applying thereto a compound of the general formula wherein -R-OH represents a substituted or unsubstituted p-hydroxyphenyl radicle. Advantageously, such compounds are applied in the form in which they are obtained when precipitated from solution in sulphuric acid in conjunction with other substances which are soluble in sulphuric acid and are precipitable chemically unchanged from such solution by water, whereby the absorption of the dye by the fibres is increased. Such substances may be non-dyeing compounds, e.g. boric acid or a hydrotropic agent such as an N-substituted anilinesulphonic acid, or may be another aminoanthraquinone dyestuff, e.g. the 1-methylamino or ethylamino-4-anilino-, 1-methylamino- 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)amino-, 1-methylamino-4- ethylamino-, 1:4-di-(n-butylamino)-, 1-methylamino-4-benzylamino-, 1-methylamino-4-(mtoluidino)-, 1- #-hydroxyethylamino-4-anilino-, 1:4-di-(p-hydroxyphenylamino)-, 1:4-di-anilino-, and 1-amino-4-cyclohexylaminoderivatives of anthraquinone. In examples, (1) 1-amino-4-(4<SP>1</SP>- hydroxy) phenylaminoanthraquinone, as crude product obtained by the process of Specification 536,885, is dissolved in conc. sulphuric acid, precipitated on ice, filtered, washed, and pasted with sulphite cellulose waste liquor and the paste dispersed in water containing Marseilles soap ; cellulose acetate artificial silk treated for 1 ¢ hours in this dispersion at 50-80C. is dyed a strong reddish blue ; the pasting agent may be replaced by dextain, soaps, aromatic sulphonic acids or formaldehyde-naphthalenesulphonic acid condensation products ; (2) 20 per cent. of the dyestuff in (1) is replaced by the 1-methylamino or ethylamino-4-anilino-, 1- methylamino-4-(m toluidino)-, 1-methylamino- 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)amino- or 1-#-hydroxyethylamino-4-anilino-derivative of anthraquinone or a mixture of such derivatives ; (3) 20 per cent. of the dyestuff in (1) is replaced by the 1:4-di-(p-hydroxyphenylamino)-, 1:4-di- (butylamino)-, 1-methylamino-4-benzylamino-, 1-methylamino-4-ethylamino-, 1:4-di-(anilino)- or 1-amino-4-cyclohexylamino derivative of anthraquinone ; (4) a mixture of the dyestuff in (1) with sodium benzylsulphanilate is dissolved in conc. sulphuric acid, precipitated on ice, filtered, washed, pasted and used for dyeing as in (1).

Abstract: 1,035,223. Drying rubber crumb. FRENCH OIL MILL MACHINERY CO. March 15, 1963, No. 10384/63. Heading F4G. [Also in Division B1] In a continuous process of drying synthetic rubber crumb, the crumb passes from a tank having a heater coil into the feed hopper 12, Fig. 3, of an interrupted-flight, high pressure screw press 110 of split cage construction having mechanical working means in the chamber operable both to press and heat the crumb and also to rupture pockets in the crumb to release moisture and steam therein to pass through drainage openings 58, Fig. 5, in the chamber walls formed from slightly spaced screen bars 55, the retained, dried crumb discharging to a hopper 34 for passage to a further screw press or to a hammermill for tearing and shredding. The crumb may finally pass to a conventional hot air tunnel drier 45. The press comprises a shaft 20, with a feed worm 50 and having a series of surrounding and spaced collars 62 with notched worms 65 therebetween which are driven by the shaft, which worms co-operate with breaker lugs 60 extending from the interior of the chamber walls.
