Appl. No.:

12/961231

Inventors:

Alvin Black - Spanish Fork UT, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
G06F 9/455

US Classification:

714 25, 718 1, 714E1102

Abstract:

The system and method for diagnosing information technology systems in multiple virtual parallel universes described herein may create virtualized parallel universes that represent a problematic information technology system. The virtualized parallel universes may then be diagnosed to identify potential solutions to a problem experienced in the problematic information technology system (i.e., the parallel universes may be diagnosed without disrupting the live problematic system). For example, the problematic information technology system may be cloned in response to a diagnostic request associated therewith to create various virtualized parallel universes representing the problematic information technology system. The parallel universes may then conduct various problem resolution steps to identify a potential solution to the problem, which may then be applied to the problematic information technology system to resolve the problem associated therewith.

Abstract:

Multiple personas associated with an identity are managed. Managing multiple personas may comprise providing a list of available personas associated with an authenticated user on a workspace, each available persona comprising policy information and configuration information, receiving a selection of a persona selected from the list of available personas and providing policy information and configuration information to a security enforcement point for a program for the selected persona. The persona can also include authentication information. The policy information may be used to determine access to a program.

Abstract:

A personal vaporizer is disclosed. The personal vaporizer comprises a container configured for containing at least one substance and a vaporizer configured for converting the at least one substance into vapor form. Further, personal vaporizer comprises at least one sensor configured for sensing at least one variable associated with at least one component of the personal vaporizer, at least one actuator configured for changing at least one variable associated with at least one component of the personal vaporizer, a communication interface configured for communicating information between the personal vaporizer and an external device, a power source configured for providing power to at least one component of the personal vaporizer and a controller configured for controlling at least one of the at least one sensor and the at least one actuator, wherein the controlling is based on at least one location of the personal vaporizer.
