Abstract:
A provisioning machine may receive a request that an application be executed while distributed according to a distribution constraint among various devices. The provisioning machine may access a topological model that represents multiple devices configured as a single cloud-based application server and defines a first group of devices that have the same redundancy status (e.g., active or backup). In addition, the topological model may define a second group of devices that have the same functional role (e.g., executing a particular component of the application). A device may be a member of both the first group and the second group. The provisioning machine may determine a size of the first group according to the distribution constraint. Based on the determined size of the first group, the provisioning machine may configure (e.g., provision) the first group of devices as a subset of the multiple devices of the server.

Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically determines if a location is a standalone location, which can be unambiguously identified by a name for the location alone. During operation, the system determines a name score for the location which indicates a popularity of the name for the location. The system also obtains a signature for the location, wherein the signature is a set of combinations of location specifiers, wherein each combination of location specifiers refers to the location. The system then determines a signature score for the location which indicates a popularity of the signature for the location. Finally, the system determines whether the location is a standalone location based on the name score and the signature score.

Abstract:
A vehicular torsion bar suspension device, which comprises a front torsion bar spring and a rear torsion bar spring respectively installed at front and rear suspensions of the vehicle. The opposite ends of the front and rear torsion bar springs on the same side are connected mutually by a connection mechanism, and are connected with a vehicle frame through a positioning device. The connection mechanism is mounted between the front and rear torsion bar springs on the same side, so that a linkage relationship is established between the front and rear torsion bar springs. The device improves the vibration situation of the vehicle when driving the vehicle on an uneven ground, and prevents the vehicle frame and vehicle body skeleton from suffering torsional force. As a result, the usage life of the vehicle is prolonged.
Abstract:
A line-start brushless permanent magnet motor assembly includes an unconventional combination of a rotor assembly including a plurality of permanent magnets mounted thereon, and a stator assembly including aluminum winding coils. The unique combination of construction features leads to significant motor performance enhancements at lower incremental cost. The line-start brushless permanent magnet motor assembly may be incorporated into a hermetic compressor, such as may be used in an air conditioning system, to meet high efficiency standards (e.g., seasonal efficiency energy rating). The disclosed embodiments have an efficiency of at least 90% with winding coils consisting essentially entirely of aluminum.
Abstract:
A current perpendicular to plane magneto-resistance effect element includes: a magneto-resistance effect film comprised of a fixed magnetization layer, a free magnetization layer, and a complex spacer layer including an insulating layer and current paths formed through the insulating layer; a biasing mechanism for stabilizing the free magnetization layer; a shielding mechanism for ensuring a reproducing resolution of the magneto-resistance effect element; and a pair of electrodes for flowing a current perpendicular to a film surface of the magneto-resistance effect element; wherein a resistance area product (RA:Ω×μm2) is set to 0.00062×√{square root over ((GAP))}×TW+0.06 when a track width of the magneto-resistance effect element is defined as TW (nm) and a gap length of the magneto-resistance effect element is defined as GAP (nm).
Abstract:
An improved system and method for generating an online summary of a collection of documents is provided. A list of documents may be received, and the titles of the list of documents may be obtained. A set of terms that frequently occur in the titles of the documents may be iteratively expanded and overlapping phrases may be merged until there may be no more terms that occur in the titles with a frequency that exceeds a predefined threshold. In an embodiment, an article summarizer operably coupled to a search engine may be provided to generate a summary of a list of references to web pages in search results using titles of the web pages. The summary of the web pages may then be sent with the list of references to the web pages as search results to a client device for display to a user.
Abstract:
Techniques for determining when and how to transform words in a query to its plural or non-plural form in order to provide the most relevant search results while minimizing computational overhead are provided. A dictionary is generated based upon the words used in a specified number of previous most frequent search queries and comprises lists of transformations from plural to singular and singular to plural. Unnecessary transformations are removed from the dictionary based upon language modeling. The word to transform is determined by finding the last non-stop re-writable word of the query. The context of the transformed word is confirmed in the search documents and a version of the query is executed using both the original form of the word and the transformation of the word.
