20090070618SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A TOD CLOCK - A system, method and computer program product for calibrating a Time Of Day (TOD)-clock in a computing system node provided in a multi-node network. The network comprises an infrastructure of computing devices each having a physical clock providing a time base for executing operations that is stepped to a common oscillator. The system implements steps for obtaining samples of timing values of a computing device in the network, the values including a physical clock value maintained at that device and a TOD-offset value; computing an oscillator skew value from the samples; setting a fine steering rate value as equal to the opposite of the computed oscillator skew value; and, utilizing the fine steering rate value to adjust the physical clock value and correct for potential oscillator skew errors occurring in the oscillator crystal at the computing device.03-12-2009
20110137861Methods for Achieving Efficient Coherent Access to Data in a Cluster of Data Processing Computing Nodes - A coherency manager provides coherent access to shared data by receiving a copy of updated database data from a host computer through RDMA, the copy including updates to a given database data; storing the copy of the updated database data as a valid copy of the given database data in local memory; invalidating local copies of the given database data on other host computers through RDMA; receiving acknowledgements from the other host computers through RDMA that the local copies of the given database data have been invalidated; and sending an acknowledgement of receipt of the copy of the updated database data to the host computer through RDMA. When the coherency manager receives a request for the valid copy of the given database data from a host computer through RDMA, it retrieves the valid copy of the given database data from the local memory and returns the valid copy through RDMA.06-09-2011
20110191625CONTROLLING THE STATE OF DUPLEXING OF COUPLING FACILITY STRUCTURES - A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.08-04-2011

20080320120APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VISUALIZATION OF WEB SERVICES DISTRIBUTED MANAGEMENT (WSDM) RESOURCES - An apparatus and method provides visualization of IT resources that are exposed as WSDM resources. A management system with a console provides visibility and functionality for WSDM resources by employing a visualization mechanism that processes standardized visualization metadata that is sent from a WSDM resource. The visualization mechanism uses standardized information to enable the management system console to display a robust presentation of the resource without needing to update the management system and console code when new types of resources are added.12-25-2008
20090031017System, Method, and Computer Program Product for Centralized Management of an Infiniband Distributed System Area Network - A method, system, and product in a data processing system are disclosed for providing centralized management of an INFINIBAND distributed system-area network that includes multiple end nodes. A manager application is established in one of the end nodes. An agent application is established in one or more end nodes. Each agent application is independent from the manager application. The manager application maintains a current list of active agent applications and uses the list to manage the agent applications in the end nodes.01-29-2009

20080271919BUNDLED COMPOSITE CABLE WITH NO OUTER OVER-JACKET - A composite cable is formed by wrapping plural separately jacketed cables in a helical fashion by an outer containment element, such as a jacket formed as a strip of material. Air gaps may exist between wound strands of the outer jacket to expose the inner cables. Two or more strip-like outer jackets may be helically wound about the plural cables in opposing directions wherein one outer jacket overlaps the other outer jacket. Alternatively, the two outer jackets may overlap and underlap each other and form a basket weave pattern. The outer jacket material may be stored on a spool and unwound to helically wrap the bundled cables.11-06-2008

20110251507Method, Computer Readable Medium, and System for Analyzing ECG Morphology and Time Series - A method and apparatus for analyzing the QT interval characteristics of ECG signal data having a succession of waveforms produced by the beating of the heart. ECG signal data is obtained from a patient. The R-R interval and the QT intervals of the waveforms of the ECG signal data are determined. Waveforms of the ECG signal data having a stable heart rate are selected for use in determining the QT interval characteristics. Preferably, the waveforms selected are those having minimum R-R interval standard deviation and minimum R-R interval dispersion. The QT correction (QTc) is computed from the ECG signal data waveforms selected in the foregoing manner or on the basis of clinician editing. The R-R intervals, the QT intervals, and QTc for the heart beats of the selected waveforms are displayed for analysis and diagnosis purposes. The invention can also be used, in an analogous manner, to obtain and display other cardiac data from the ECG waveforms.10-13-2011

20100023435Balance Shared Payment Card - A payment card having account information associated therewith may include a substrate and a magnetic stripe adhered to a first side of the substrate. The magnetic stripe may be encoded with the account information. The account information may be associated with, for example, a non-profit organization that may be selected to receive a residual account balance of the payment card.01-28-2010
