20100299447 | Data Replication - A method, system and computer program product for managing data replication for data groups stored in a first storage device. A polling interval, a maximum bandwidth and a bandwidth tolerance available for data replication is defined. A priority and a status for each data group is defined. The data replication is started in the polling interval, for the data group with highest priority in the pending status to a second storage device connected to the first storage. The rate of data transfer during a polling period is determined by dividing the total data transferred during the polling interval by time period of the polling interval; and bandwidth utilization is determined for data replication by comparing rate of data transfer with maximum bandwidth. If the bandwidth utilization is less than the maximum bandwidth available then another data group is selected for replication. If the data bandwidth utilization is more than the maximum bandwidth available then selected data groups replicating are paused. | 11-25-2010 |

20080281938 | Selecting a master node in a multi-node computer system - Selecting a master node in a multi-node computer system is described. Each node of the multi-node computer system selects a timeout value (e.g., randomly). Each node starts a timer, which is set to expire at the selected timeout value of its corresponding node. The node with the timer that expires earliest broadcasts an election message to the other nodes of the multi-node computer system, which informs the other nodes that the broadcasting node is a candidate for mastership over the multi-node computer system. The other nodes respond to the election message upon receiving it. In the absence of a refusal message from one or more of the other nodes, the candidate is established as master node in the multi-node computer system and wherein the other nodes function as slave nodes therein. | 11-13-2008 |

20100103781 | TIME SYNCHRONIZATION IN CLUSTER SYSTEMS - Techniques are described herein for synchronizing cluster time. According to one technique, a master node is appointed in a cluster. Other “slave” nodes periodically synchronize their clocks with the master node. To synchronize its clock with the master node, a slave node sends a timestamped message to the master node, which also timestamps the message and sends the message back to the slave node, which then timestamps the message again. Based on the timestamps, the slave node is able to determine the difference between the master node's clock's time and slave node's clock's time, compensating for the message travel time between master node and slave node. Depending on various circumstances, and based on the determined difference, the slave node adjusts its clock so that the time indicated by the slave node's clock at least begins to approach more closely the time indicated by the master node's clock. | 04-29-2010 |

We have successfully made 20-mer oligonucleotide containing single dithiolane derivative at 3′, and 21-mer oligonucleotides containing single dithiolane derivative at 5′ or in the middle of the mixed base sequence. HPLC and ESI MS analysis of these oligonucleotides indicated satisfactory purity and correct composition of these oligos, respectively. | 05-22-2014 |
