Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for on-demand resource provisioning for service instances. An on-demand service broker provisions IaaS resources at service instance creating time. The service broker provides a catalog listing one or more service plans, each service plan corresponds to a set of available resources. A user device selects a respective service plan that matches specific needs of an application that consumes the resources. The service broker generates a deployment manifest based on the selected service plan. The service broker then submits the deployment manifest to a deployment system. The deployment system provisions the resources to the service instance according to the manifest generated by the service broker.

A tremelo effect unit and a stringed instrument incorporating a tremelo effect unit include a pivotal support which, in use, secures at least one string of a stringed instrument under tension. The tremelo effect unit can include a resilient biassing element, typically in the form of a compression spring, which pivotally urges the support against the tension of the string. The resilient biassing element is arranged to act in a direction substantially opposite to a direction in which the instrument string extends.

Tremolo effect unit

A method and machine for cutting a sheet (1) into a plurality of pieces (2) and collating them first forms a plurality of slits (3) parallel to one pair of edges (4), and ending short of the other pair of edges (5), next cuts along a plurality of lines (6) parallel to that other pair of edges (5), and with two lines (6) intersecting the ends of the slits (3), then feeds the pieces (2) in the lengthwise direction of the two strips (7) left beyond the cut ends of the slits (3) and allows the two strips (7) to fall away, allows the pieces (D, H, M, R, V, Z) at one end of the rows perpendicular to the direction of feed to drop to a lower level, superimposes a transverse feed on the remaining pieces (2) towards the dropped pieces (D, H, M, R, V, Z), whereby they are dropped in order to form batches (9), and finally allows the batches (9) to fall successively on to a substantially stationary support (33) to form a stack (10) of the pieces (2) in definite order. The machine is capable of completing the method in no more than one-and-a-half seconds, including trimming off initial margins (11) to form the edges (4) parallel to the slits (3) accurately.

Cutting and collating sheets of paper, card, etc.

Apparatus for producing a superposed collated assemblage of sheet material on a conveyor, wherein the individual sheets are transported from sources of supply along angled paths intersecting the conveyor, and result in the deposit of the sheets on top of each other and on the conveyor in the desired collated condition as noted.
