International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717174, 717140, 717121, 713191, 709220, 709229

Abstract:

The described systems and methods are directed at configuring a server based on a selected role. An installation application is configured to install core components in a server where these core components enable the server to perform the basic functions of a network computing device. A role management application is configured to enable a system administrator to select a role for the server and to automatically determine software components associated with the selected role. The role management application is then configured to build the software components and install the components on the server. The role management application is further configured to configure the components for the selected role. The automated installation process performed by the role management application enables a server to be efficiently configured for a particular role without installing other unnecessary components unrelated to the role.

Abstract:

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to operating system experience states. Input may be received that requests a change from a current experience state to a target experience state. In response, state data may be obtained that indicates allowed experience states as well as component data that indicates components and relationships between components in the target experience state. This state data may then be used to change from the current experience state to a target experience state. The target experience state may be used, for example, to configure a server or other operating system.

Abstract:

A method for detecting a taggant molecular structure in a fluid includes providing a molecularly imprinted polymer sensor device, contacting a molecularly imprinted crosslinked star polymer with the fluid, and correlating a color change in the fluid with the amount of the taggant molecular structure in the fluid. The device has polymer arms attached to a core, and the core has molecular sized cavities adapted to selectively receive and bind displacement molecules having the taggant molecular structure and a colorimetric indicator. The displacement molecule is selectively removed from the molecularly imprinted crosslinked polymer upon exposure to the taggant molecular structure in the fluid thereby indicating the presence of the taggant molecular structure in the fluid based on a loss of color along a length of a housing.
