The abstractions are exchanged and merged to create complete abstraction. A second map function searches the complete abstraction to redistribute and exchange the data across the computers in the cluster. A reduce function is performed in parallel to produce a result. | 03-17-2011 |

20090035633 | Chemically sintered composite electrodes and manufacturing processes - An iterative process of depositing on a solid electrolyte a coating of unconnected particles composed of an ionically conductive material. A liquid solution is also applied. The liquid solution includes an inorganic component. The deposited liquid is heated to a temperature sufficient to evaporate or otherwise remove some or all of the volatile components of the liquid solution. Typically the temperature is below 1000° and often at about 850° C. The effect of heating the solution is to cause ion conducting material in the solution to adhere to the surface of the existing ion conducting particles and form connections between these particles. This is understood to create an ion conducting skeletal support structure. Within the intrestices of this skeletal support structure, the step of heating is also understood to result in the deposition of the inorganic component that will begin to form a electron conducting structure. The process of applying the liquid solution and heating may be repeated until a sufficiently thick layer of material is laid over the solid electrolyte to provide the composite electrode structure desired. | 02-05-2009 |

20150139757 | FOOT-ACTIVATED MEDIA SUPPLY DEVICES - A sheet supply device has a bottom contacting or resting on an external surface. The sheet supply device stores sheets of media and supplies the sheets of media to a processing device. The sheet supply device comprises a controller device, a platform supporting the sheets of media, and a foot-activated user input device positioned at the bottom of the sheet supply device adjacent the external surface. The platform moves upward (in a first direction away from the external surface) to supply the sheets of media to the processing device, and the platform moves downward (in a second direction toward the external surface) to allow the sheets of media to be loaded onto the platform. Operation of the foot-activated user input device causes the compartment to open and/or the platform to move downward (in the second direction). | 05-21-2015 |
20150199158 | IMAGE SHIFT TEMPLATE - Devices and methods for an image shift template. Information defining a document and a first print job is received into a printer. The first print job comprises instructions for printing the document and document finishing instructions. The finishing instructions are analyzed and areas of the pages of the document that will be unusable after a finishing operation according to the instructions are identified. Selection is received to print an image shift template on the document. The image shift template comprises x- and y-axes associated with the document and indication of the areas of the pages of the document that will be unusable after the finishing operation. A second print job is created comprising instructions for printing the pages of the document with the image shift template superimposed on the pages. The pages of the document including the image shift template are printed, according to the second print job. | 07-16-2015 |

20100331826 | APPARATUS FOR INFUSING LIQUID TO A BODY - An infusion device having a housing with a reusable control portion and an expendable reservoir portion includes a precise drive for an infusion pump. The drive includes a piezoelectric bender assembly, a limiter and at least one contact stop. The piezoelectric bender assembly includes a cantilevered piezoelectric bender having an member of predetermined thickness fixed to move with the second end. A limiter of dimensionally stable material including a gap and at least a first mounting hole extending to the gap. The member of predetermined thickness extends into the gap. A first contact stop is positioned in the gap to define a critical gap distance limiting movement of the member of predetermined thickness in the gap. A base has a mounting surface, a port through the base and extending to the mounting surface. The port includes a first length having a smaller diameter at the mounting surface and a second length displaced from the mounting surface and having a larger diameter. A rigid cannula extends from the base through the port. The rigid cannula has a diameter smaller than the smaller diameter of the port, and the first length of the port has an annular open gap for lateral or pivotal movement of the rigid cannula. A mount of elastomeric material in the length having the larger diameter mounts the rigid cannula. The cannula includes hydrogel material in a desiccated state coating the surface of the cannula, including the beveled end, which rehydrates upon placement in the patient. | 12-30-2010 |

20120323393 | AUTOMATED DEMAND RESPONSE SYSTEM - A system and method for reducing an electrical load in a facility with a building automation system, includes first receiving information for a demand response event from an automated demand response server at an automated demand response client. After receipt of a new demand response event, the system determines a plurality of devices of the building automation system to be controlled during the demand response event. Next, the system prepares a schedule of control actions for the plurality of devices during the demand response event. The system then sends control messages to the building automation system to execute the control actions for the plurality of devices according to the schedule of control actions for the demand response event. | 12-20-2012 |
20130086066 | AUTOMATED DISCOVERY AND GENERATION OF HIERARCHIES FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL NETWORK OBJECTS - Management systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a name of a first object in a plurality of objects. The plurality of objects is associated with one more devices communicably connected to a building automation and controls network. The method includes parsing characters in the name of the first object to identify a plurality of name segments separated by one or more delimiters in the name in response to identifying the one or more delimiters. The method includes identifying a type of the first object and a location of a first device associated with the first object based on the plurality of name segments. Additionally, the method includes generating a hierarchical structure for the plurality of objects based on the type and the location, the hierarchical structure comprising a name for each of the plurality of objects. | 04-04-2013 |
20130086521 | Management System User Interface For Comparative Trend View - Methods, mediums, and systems include use of a system manger application in a data processing system to manage a building automation system, to display a trend view chart on a graphical user interface, based on a trend view definition, showing the changing value of point data over time from a building automation system device, and to automatically display a comparative chart, based on the trend view definition, of historical point data from the building automation system device upon selection of a predefined comparative trend view button and an offset time period. | 04-04-2013 |
