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 |

20150293984 | DECOUPLED CONTENT AND METADATA IN A DISTRIBUTED OBJECT STORAGE ECOSYSTEM - A storage system comprises: a controller; a memory; one or more objects, each object having content data and metadata which includes system metadata; and a policy which governs writing of the content data and metadata of the one or more objects from the storage system to an external storage. The policy includes a configurable criterion for decoupling of the content data and the metadata of a given object and a rule for determining storage locations for the content data and the metadata between the storage system and the external storage in a decoupled manner if the content data and the metadata of the object are decoupled. The configurable criterion is based on an attribute of the metadata of the object. The controller is operable to execute the policy against the objects and to apply the rule to determine storage locations for the content data and metadata of a decoupled object. | 10-15-2015 |

20140074754 | Method of Identifying Relative Strength of Mutual Funds - Methods are provided for identifying the relative strength of mutual funds for strengthening an investment portfolio. The methods employ a strategies to rank mutual funds obtained from a database including data regarding a plurality of mutual funds of a predetermined universe of mutual funds. The mutual fund database includes for each of the plurality of mutual funds, factors comprising percent return, ulcer index, standard deviation, and relative strength index. The mutual funds can be ranked by at least two of the factors. A composite rank can be calculated for each mutual fund, and a list of mutual funds, sorted by relative strength, can be compiled. | 03-13-2014 |

20130302509 | ANTIBACTERIAL BIOMEDICAL IMPLANTS AND ASSOCIATED MATERIALS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS - Methods for improving the antibacterial characteristics of biomedical implants and related implants manufactured according to such methods. In some implementations, a biomedical implant comprising a silicon nitride ceramic material may be subjected to a surface roughening treatment so as to increase a surface roughness of at least a portion of the biomedical implant to a roughness profile having an arithmetic average of at least about 500 nm Ra. In some implementations, a coating may be applied to a biomedical implant. Such a coating may comprise a silicon nitride ceramic material, and may be applied instead of, or in addition to, the surface roughening treatment process. | 11-14-2013 |
