The present invention, in various embodiments, provides a novel execution engine integration framework for a BFT SMR system. With this framework, execution engines for services can be integrated into the BFT SMR system in a generic manner, thereby avoiding the need to implement a custom request handling code for each individual service/execution engine.

Execution engine integration framework for byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) state machine replication (SMR) systems

A blockchain network include nodes that are configured as time sources. These time-source nodes broadcast respective updates of their local times to all nodes in the blockchain network. Each node computes a summary time value based on the received local time values so that each node uses the same summary time to maintain their respective copies of the blockchain.

Providing real-world time in a replicated state-machine environment

A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of provisioning a data volume for the container in this computer system includes the steps of monitoring a designated virtual socket, detecting, based on the monitoring, a request from a plug-in of the container to create a data volume, and upon detecting the request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to cause the virtualization software to create the data volume.

Provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines

A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of managing allocation of storage resources to the container includes the steps of monitoring a virtual socket, detecting, based on the monitoring, a request from a plug-in of the container to create a data volume, upon detecting the request, retrieving a storage resource limit that has been set for the first virtual machine and determining if creation of the data volume causes the storage resource limit to be exceeded, and communicating the request to the virtualization software to cause the virtualization software to create the data volume if the limit is determined to be not exceeded and returning an error if the limit is determined to be exceeded.

Enforcing limits on a self-serve model for provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines

A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of provisioning first and second data volumes for the container, wherein the first data volume is backed by storage device of a first type and the second data volume is backed by storage device of a second type, includes monitoring a designated virtual socket, detecting, based on monitoring, a first request from a plug-in of the container to create a first data volume having first storage requirements, upon detecting the first request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to create the first data volume, detecting, based on monitoring, a second request from a plug-in of the container to create a second data volume having second storage requirements, and upon detecting the second request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to create the second data volume.

Provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines in which storage for the virtual machines are backed by heterogeneous storage devices

A dialysis system and method for removing toxic matter from the large intestine comprises an input tube, an output tube concentric with the input tube, both of which tubes are to be inserted in the large intestine an input pressure pump connected to deliver filtrate solution from an input container to the input tube, and an output suction pump connected to the output tube to remove filtrate solution. Pressure gauges control the input and output pumps so that an input pressure level of 75 mm Hg is not exceeded, and so that the output suction pump is disabled unless the input pressure level exceeds 45 mm Hg. A filtrate solution composition comprising a vasodilator of niacin, a high molecular weight protein in the form of casein, a mineral constituents and other components is also provided. The composition may be formed of electrolytes, buffers and a high molecular weight osmotic agent. The system and method may be adapted to treat shock. A shock treatment composition may comprise electrolytes, buffers and a rehydrating agent.

An improved toilet flushing assembly is provided of the type which includes a water tank, a water discharge pipe disposed at least partially within the tank, and which has an opening at the upper end thereof, defining a primary flush valve seat, a flush valve ball communicative with the flush valve seat, means for moving the flush valve ball between an open and closed position relative to the primary flush valve seat, and a generally upstanding overflow pipe disposed within the tank and having a lower open end which communicates with the discharge pipe. The improved assembly provides an overflow pipe having an opening therein disposed at a level above the primary valve seat, which opening defines a secondary flush valve seat. A movable valve member is disposed within the tank for communication with the secondary valve seat and means are provided for moving the valve member between an open and closed position relative to the secondary flush valve seat, so as to permit, in the open position thereof, a partial discharge of the water held in the tank through the overflow pipe and, in turn, the discharge pipe, while the primary flush valve ball remains in a closed position relative to the primary valve seat.
