Abstract: Physical (or prior virtual) machine volumes can be converted to virtual machines at a virtual machine host while the physical machines are running. In one implementation, a volume shadow copy service can be used to create an application (and/or file system)-consistent snapshot of one or more physical machine volumes while the one or more volumes are running. The snapshot data can then be transferred to a mounted virtual hard disk file (dynamic or fixed) at a virtual machine host. Operational information (e.g., boot record, system registry, drivers, devices, configuration preferences, etc.) associated with the virtual hard disk file and the operating system(s) within the virtual machine can then be modified as appropriate to ensure that the corresponding virtual machine is bootable and functional at the virtual machine host. The virtual hard disk file can then be un-mounted, and used as a new virtual machine.

Abstract: A touch dimmer has a three-wire touch sensitive screen that produces an o utput voltage signal representative of a position of a manual pressure touch along a longitudinal axis of the touch screen. To reduce the occurrence of erroneous position indications due to low-pressure touches of the touch scre en, a filter circuit is coupled to the output of the touch screen to prevent the detection of transient touches, and to prevent the detection of low-pre ssure touches having less than a certain actuation force. As a result, a con troller may accurately determine the position of the manual pressure touch. In a preferred embodiment, two filters are coupled to the output of the touc h screen. The first filter conditions the output voltage signal to allow the controller to accurately determine whether a manual pressure touch actuatio n has occurred. The second filter conditions the output voltage signal to al low the controller to accurately determine the position of the manual pressu re touch along a longitudinal axis of the touch screen. An alternative embod iment of the touch dimmer uses a four-wire touch sensitive screen that produ ces a second output voltage signal representative of a position of a manual pressure touch along a transverse axis of the touch screen. The first filter is coupled to receive the second output signalto permit accurate detection of a manual pressure touch actuation.

Title: A method and device for creating a flow of flat products in a predefined sequence
Inventor: HONEGGER WERNER
IPC: B65H29/66
Filed: 2009-03-31
Abstract: A method and device are provided for creating a product flow according to a predefined sequence. Products are fed from different feed flows of a grouping path and, according to the sequence, are deposited onto a conveyor with a closed revolving path. A repair function is realised in which the products are transferred from the conveyor to a further-processing station only if the sequence is correct and all products are present with the desired quantity.  Otherwise, the products are led by the continuously operated conveyors back to the grouping path.  Here, the error is corrected by way of the deposition of the missing product, whilst the deposition of new products is interrupted. For error correction, one may previously provide a discharge of a defect or wrong product. After the error correction, the creation of the product flow is continued by way of the sequentially correct deposition of further products.
