摘要:
Raw water is treated with chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ammonia in various stages as it proceeds from raw water acquisition through clarification (e.g., coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration) to storage of finished water from which the treated water can be introduced into a distribution system. Chlorine dioxide can be used as a pre-oxidant or disinfectant. Chlorine can be used as a disinfectant or to react with ammonia to produce monochloramine.

A printed circuit board with an imbedded electrical component, comprising three layers. The first and second layers are coupled together, and an area of the second layer of the printed circuit board is selectively removed to expose a portion of the first layer of the printed circuit board. The opening accepts an electrical component that is mounted to the first layer of the printed circuit board within the selectively removed area of the second layer of the printed circuit board. The third layer of the printed circuit board is coupled to the second layer of the printed circuit board, at least partially covers the selectively removed area of the second layer of the printed circuit board, and at least partially covers the mounted component within the selectively removed area of the second layer of the printed circuit board.

The present invention describes a parallel processing system. The system comprises a plurality of compute nodes for executing applications via a storage application interface having system input/output calls, a plurality of I/O nodes, and a file system implemented in the compute node, for storing information mapping API system input/output calls for the data object with the globally unique identification for the data object. Each I/O node manages a communicatively coupled plurality of storage resources and each has a means for generating a globally unique identification for a data object stored on the storage resource and transmits the globally unique identification and the data object to the compute node via at least one interconnecting fabric providing communication between any of the compute node and any of the I/O nodes.

The subject matter herein relates to database management systems and, more particularly, to decoupled logical and physical data storage within a database management system. Various embodiments provide systems, methods, and software that separate physical storage of data from logical storage of data. These embodiments include a mapping of logical storage to physical storage to allow data to be moved within the physical storage to increase database responsiveness.

A system calculates the optimal allocation of two or more resources provided by a resource provider to a task within a computer system from a plurality of possible allocations. In doing so, the system calculates the total volume of an N-dimensional cube, where N is the number of resources provided by the resource provider, representing the respective amounts of resources available to be allocated. The system also calculates the average volume of the N−1 dimensional shapes forming the sides of the N-dimensional cube. The system then calculates, at least partly from the ratio of the total volume to the average volume, the balance resulting from the allocation of resources represented by the N-dimensional cube. The system then calculates the imbalance resulting from the allocation of resources at least partly from the balance and determines the smallest imbalance as the optimal allocation of resources.

A disk drive having a single drive motor and multiple platters that incorporates two discrete data paths, actuators and heads to the disk platters. Utilizing the economy of very large capacity disk platters, two or more disk drives can be created within a single physical enclosure. These two disks will be share many common parts such as the drive enclosure and spindle motor, but will have the performance and appearance to the system as two or more independent disks. Instead of having one actuator arm, the virtual disks will have two or more actuator arms and two or more sets of digital electronics. The storage on all the platters is divided up among the actuators so that no storage location is shared, but all the actuators will operate concurrently. Each actuator will have exclusive use of a subset of the data storage. Disks normally only have one actuator connected to multiple heads, at least one per surface, which only allow a single data seek and data transfer at a time. The virtual disks will have two or more actuators, one for each virtual disk, improving performance for the capacity of the platters through concurrent data seeks and transfers to different data areas.

A technique for use in monitoring the condition of an air filter in an electronics system involves receiving temperature readings gathered over time by a temperature sensor located in the electronics system that houses the air filter, concluding that at least one of the readings exceeds a reference temperature, concluding that a rate of change of at least some of the readings does not exceed a reference rate, and generating an alarm message indicating that the air filter needs attention.
摘要:
A distributed service subsystem comprises one or more cabinets containing one or more computer systems, one or more administration consoles for controlling the computer systems in the cabinets, and a network interconnecting the administration consoles and the cabinets. Each of the cabinets includes a cabinet module interface controller (CMIC) coupled to and controlling one or more chassis management boards (CMBs). The CMBs are each adapted to communicate with one or more managed components in the cabinet through a component specific interface.

A method for transferring data from a first node to a second node in a multi-processor system is described. The multi-processor system comprises a plurality of nodes coupled to an interconnect fabric via an interconnect fabric interface, the nodes comprising a compute node and an I/O node, the I/O node coupled to a plurality of data storage devices. The method comprises the steps of generating a I/O request packet in a first node in response to an I/O request from an application executing in a first node, transmitting the data request packet to the second node via the interconnect fabric, and executing the destination interconnect channel program to extract the debit ID to transfer the data request to the second node buffer. In one embodiment, the I/O packet includes a data transfer request, an interconnect destination channel program, a first debit ID designating a second node buffer where the data request will be transmitted, and a first credit ID designating a first node buffer where the data responsive to the I/O request will be transmitted.
