Abstract:
A method for managing persistent data in a multi-image code load system is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing first and second code images for loading onto a computing system. The method stores, in a common repository, persistent data that is shared by each of the first and second code images. When changes are made to the shared persistent data associated with the first and second code images, the changes are recorded in the form of content deltas. When generating such content deltas, the method determines which of the first and second code images the content deltas apply to and marks the content deltas accordingly. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

Abstract:
An electric machine is provided with a rotor configured to be rotatable within a stator. A first and second tooth are disposed circumferentially along an outer perimeter of the rotor and at least partially define a first slot. The first and the second tooth define a respective first and second outer edge extending between a respective tooth base and a respective tooth tip. An arc radius from the origin to the outer perimeter of the rotor varies along the first outer edge of the first tooth, thereby creating a first non-uniform gap between the rotor and the stator. The arc radius from the origin to the outer perimeter of the rotor varies along the second outer edge of the second tooth, thereby creating a second non-uniform gap between the rotor and the stator. The rotor geometry is configured to reduce torque ripple without skewing either the rotor or the stator.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for providing an update to at least one storage facility in a computing storage environment are provided. In one embodiment, a security verification is performed on the update via a certificate authentication mechanism to confirm a validity of the update. Subsequent to confirming the validity of the update, a safety verification on the update is performed to confirm a suitability of the update to the at least one storage facility. If the security and safety verifications are validated, the update is provided and installed in the at least one storage facility.
Abstract:
An electric motor includes a stator configured to receive electrical energy and generate an electromagnetic field in accordance with the electrical energy received. A rotor is in electromagnetic communication with the stator and is configured to rotate in accordance with the electromagnetic field generated by the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of poles including a first set of poles and a second set of poles. The first set of poles defines a first slot and the second set of poles defines a second slot that has a different configuration than the first slot to reduce a torque ripple effect. The electric motor may be used in a system having a power source configured to output direct current energy and an inverter configured to convert direct current energy to alternating current energy.
Abstract:
Improved electron acceptor materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells are provided. More specifically, electron acceptor materials for OPVs can include vinylimide, vinylthioimide, alkynylimide and/or alkynylthioimide moieties. Experimental work with members of this class of material has demonstrated record solar cell power conversion efficiency (3.36%) for non-fullerene acceptors.
Abstract:
A method for calibrating a physical test cell includes the steps of: determining a set of inputs to be provided to the physical test cell based in part on a set of historical test data; providing the inputs to the physical test cell and receiving a set of outputs associated therewith, wherein the providing includes implementing a sequential space filling sampling procedure to substantially cover a region defined by the set of historical values; creating a virtual test cell comprising one or more response surfaces based on the set of outputs; and interrogating the virtual test cell to determine a calibration relationship between at least one of the inputs and at least one of the outputs. Smooth Kriging may be used to determine the virtual test cell.
Abstract:
A permanent magnet machine is provided with a rotor positioned at least partially within a stator. The rotor includes first and second ring segments oriented axially around a central axis. The rotor defines first and second configurations in the first and second ring segments, respectively. The first configuration is sufficiently different from the second configuration such that torque ripple may be minimized. A first layer of slots, defining a slot outer edge, may be formed in the rotor. In one embodiment, a stator-to-slot gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a stator-rotor gap varies between the first and second ring segments. In another embodiment, a bridge thickness varies between the first and second ring segments. Thus the rotor exhibits axial asymmetry.
