Title: Providing logical partitions with hardware-thread specific information reflective of exclusive use of a processor core
Inventor: FRAZIER GILES ROGER
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2012-12-10
Abstract: Techniques for simulating exclusive use of a processor core amongst multiple logical partitions (LPARs) include providing hardware thread-dependent status information in response to access requests by the LPARs that is reflective of exclusive use of the processor by the LPAR accessing the hardware thread-dependent information. The information returned in response to the access requests is transformed if the requestor is a program executing at a privilege level lower than the hypervisor privilege level, so that each logical partition views the processor as though it has exclusive use of the processor. The techniques may be implemented by a logical circuit block within the processor core that transforms the hardware thread-specific information to a logical representation of the hardware thread- specific information or the transformation may be performed by program instructions of an interrupt handler that traps access to the physical register containing the information.

Title: Hydrogen-containing antimicrobial agent
Inventor: Yoshiyuki Nasu
IPC: A61P31/12
Filed: 2014-08-05
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an antimicrobial agent which causes no generation of drug-resistant microorganisms, is reduced in side effect, and exerts little adverse influence even when used in combination with other drug(s). The antimicrobial agent contains one or more hydrogen species selected from the group consisting of: a hydrogen atom (H); one or more hydrogen isotopes selected from the group consisting of 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, and 7H; a hydrogen molecule (H2), metal hydrides, and a hydrogen ion (H+); a hydride ion (H-); and atomic hydrogen. This antimicrobial agent exhibits an antimicrobial action by the action of hydrogen and is hence reduced in the generation of drug-resistant microorganisms. Furthermore, the hydrogen, after having acted on pathogenic microorganisms, combines with oxygen to become water. Because of this, no side effect is exerted on the living being to which the antimicrobial agent was administered, and the antimicrobial agent exerts little adverse influence thereon even when used in combination with other drug(s).
