20090307455 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING MEMORY FOR IMMUTABLE DATA ON A COMPUTING DEVICE - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that allocates memory for immutable data on a computing device. During operation, the system receives an application to be executed on the computing device. Next, the system allocates a memory region on the computing device to store immutable data for the application. Note that this memory region is smaller than the immutable data for the application. When the system subsequently receives a request to access a block of immutable data for the application, the system allocates space in this memory region for the block, and proceeds to load the block into the memory region. However, if at a later time the space occupied by this first block is needed for another block, the system unloads and discards the first block. If a subsequent operation needs to use information in the first block, the system regenerates the block by transforming raw data associated with the block into a form that can be directly accessed by the application, and then reloads the block into the memory region. | 12-10-2009 |

20100023702 | Shared JAVA JAR files - Techniques are disclosed for sharing programmatic modules among isolated virtual machines. A master JVM process loads data from a programmatic module, storing certain elements of that data into its private memory region, and storing other elements of that data into a “read-only” area of a shareable memory region. The master JVM process copies loaded data from its private memory region into a “read/write” area of the shareable memory region. Instead of re-loading the data from the programmatic module, other JVM processes map to the read-only area and also copy the loaded data from the read/write area into their own private memory regions. The private memory areas of all of the JVM processes begin at the same virtual memory address, so references between read-only data and copied data are preserved correctly. As a result, multiple JVM processes start up faster, and memory is conserved by avoiding the redundant storage of shareable data. | 01-28-2010 |

20100303634 | FLUID DYNAMIC SECTION HAVING ESCAPELET OPENINGS FOR REDUCING INDUCED AND INTERFERENCE DRAG, AND ENERGIZING STAGNANT FLOW - A fluid dynamic section provides one or more fixed size escapelets through a foil body to reduce the induced and interference drag caused by trailing vortices and similar wake turbulence. The escapelets, which can be provided in both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic structures, such as wings, tail sections; rotary blades, guy wire frames, wing sails, and various underwater keels and wing keels. The escapelets transfer energy from an inlet located in the high-pressure surface of the foil or foil body to an outlet located in the lower-pressure surface, allowing energy that would normally form a vortex at the tip of the foil to be redirected and dissipated in a beneficial way. As a result, drag is reduced and fuel economy is increased, while at the same time increasing the authority of ailerons and similar flight control surfaces, allowing aircraft that were not previously spin recovery rated to become spin recoverable. | 12-02-2010 |

20090134905 | SYSTEM FOR MEASURING SIGNAL PATH RESISTANCE FOR AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TESTER INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE - Resistances of signal paths within a interconnect structure for linking input/output (I/O) ports of an integrated circuit (IC) tester to test points of an IC are measured by the IC tester itself. To do so the interconnect structure is used to link the tester's I/O ports to a similar arrangement of test points linked to one another through conductors. Drivers within the tester, which normally transmit digital test signals to IC test points via the I/O ports when the IC is under test, are modified so that they may also either transmit a constant current through the I/O ports or link the I/O ports to ground or other reference potential. The tester then transmits known currents though the signal paths interconnecting the tester's I/O ports. Existing comparators within the tester normally used to monitor the state of an IC's digital output signals are employed to measure voltage drops between the I/O ports, thereby to provide data from which resistance of signal paths within the interconnect structure may be computed. | 05-28-2009 |

20110231848 | FORECASTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Improved methods and systems are provided for asynchronously updating forecast rollup numbers. The asynchronousity is achieved by decoupling the source data change from further manipulations of the source data, for example in calculating and updating forecast rollup numbers by user role hierarchy, layer by layer. An event message queue implementation can be used for asynchronous processing. The process works by dequeuing a batch of event messages and then deduping and sorting them before applying forecast logic. Forecast numbers are updated based on target data and then rolled up the user role levels by aggregating forecast numbers for all subordinate forecast data entries. | 09-22-2011 |

20090157573 | System And Method For Grading Electricity Distribution Network Feeders Susceptible To Impending Failure - A machine learning system creates failure-susceptibility rankings for feeder cables in a utility's electrical distribution system. The machine learning system employs martingale boosting algorithms and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to generate a feeder failure prediction model, which is trained on static and dynamic feeder attribute data. Feeders are dynamically ranked by failure susceptibility and the rankings displayed to utility operators and engineers so that they can proactively service the distribution system to prevent local power outages. The feeder rankings may be used to redirect power flows and to prioritize repairs. A feedback loop is established to evaluate the responses of the electrical distribution system to field actions taken to optimize preventive maintenance programs. | 06-18-2009 |

20120159094 | ASSIGNING READ REQUESTS BASED ON BUSYNESS OF DEVICES - Techniques are provided for assigning read requests to storage devices in a manner that reduces the likelihood that any storage device will become overloaded or underutilized. Specifically, a read-request handler assigns read requests that are directed to each particular item among the storage devices that have copies of the item based on how busy each of those storage devices is. Consequently, even though certain storage devices may have copies of the same item, there may be times during which one storage device is assigned a disproportionate number of the reads of the item because the other storage device is busy with read requests for other items, and there may be other times during which other storage device is assigned a disproportionate number of the reads of the item because the one storage device is busy with read request for other items. Various techniques for estimating the busyness of storage devices are provided, including fraction-based estimates, interval-based estimates, and the response-time-based estimates. Techniques for smoothing those estimates, and for handicapping devices, are also provided. | 06-21-2012 |
