20120078847 | System and method for managing integrity in a distributed database - Cluster recovery time is reduced by an incremental refresh technique that is described herein. The goal of the technique is to salvage the portion of the redundant distributed database lost (e.g., during a fault) by performing an incremental refresh of only the updates occurring to that portion of the database since the time of loss. | 03-29-2012 |
20120078849 | System and method for enhancing availability of a distributed object storage system during a partial database outage - An “operate with missing region” feature of this disclosure allows the cluster to continue servicing reads for available regions even when some regions are missing. In particular, upon a given node failure condition, the cluster is placed in an effective read-only mode for all regions. The node failure condition typically is one where there has been a failure of an authoritative region copy and no backup copy is then available. As used herein, “read-only” means that no client write or update requests will succeed while the cluster is in this state. In particular, those requests should fail with an error message (or the like) that indicates failure because of the read-only status. Preferably, such requests are then re-tried. In this mode, all regions are only allowed to perform read operations. During the read-only state, the cluster continues to operate with missing regions, and missing regions are entered on the region map. The cluster then automatically recovers returning missing region(s), after which is leaves the read-only state. | 03-29-2012 |
20120078850 | System and method for managing scalability in a distributed database - This disclosure enables a user to incrementally increase or decrease the size of the cluster and, in particular, to incrementally increase or decrease the number of map regions implemented in a metadata manager associated with the cluster while maintaining availability of the cluster. In a representative embodiment, a configurable target map size is identified, either manually (e.g., by the user) or programmatically. If the target map size is found to be within an acceptable value (given the available node configuration), a procedure to create a new map is triggered. The new map preferably is generated as follows. Initially, one or more new temporary region(s) are created either to split or join the existing regions (depending on whether the map is being increased or decreased). For each temporary region, the process also generates MDPL backup regions. Metadata from an original region (or regions) is then migrated to the temporary region(s). Once the migrations have been completed, the old region or regions (from which the metadata is migrated) are removed and what were the temporary regions are, in effect, promoted. The result is the new map. | 03-29-2012 |

20100085097 | Pulse-Elimination Pulse-Width Modulation - Instead of reducing the pulse widths of all pulses simultaneously in order to reduce the output power of a switched-mode amplifier linearized by a pulse-width modulator, the width of every other (or every n-th) pulse is reduced. When the widths of the selected pulses have been reduced to zero, the amplifier's output power can be further reduced by selecting further pulses from the remaining non-zero-width pulses, and reducing the widths of those pulses. For example, after every other pulse of an original output signal has been removed, every other pulse of the remaining pulses can be reduced to obtain still lower amplifier output power. In this way, the number of pulses (and thus the number of switching transitions) is reduced for small signals, and therefore the amplifier's switching losses are reduced and efficiency is improved. | 04-08-2010 |

20130167088 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING PEDIGREE CHARTS ON A TOUCH DEVICE - The present invention discloses an air fan turbine positioned horizontally or vertically in close proximity to the exhaust fan system of air handler systems. These turbine units catch the exhausted air flow from the exhaust ports of these air handler units to drive the turbine blades which are attached to a generator. As the propellor blades spin, they generate electricity. Thus, the man made air flow known as exhaust from the air handler systems is used to produce electricity. This invention not only uses man made air flow, but also repositions the air turbine 90° from a horizontal position to a vertical position to receive wind air from the atmosphere. When the air handler unit is turned off, a signal is sent to mechanically move the air turbine to the vertical position to redirect itself to then catch natural wind airflow on both roof top and ground mounted units. | 06-27-2013 |
