A system includes a number of hard disk drives and a controller. Each hard disk drive is selected from a number of different hard disk drive types. Each hard disk drive type has a different speed at which the hard disk drives of the hard disk drive type rotate to read and write data. At least one of the hard disk drives is of a different hard disk drive type than at least one other of the hard disk drives. The controller, responsive to a request to write particular data to the hard disk drives, is to select a given hard disk drive of the hard disk drives based on a type of the particular data, and is to write the particular data to the given hard disk drive.

A navigation device comprises a display, a data storage element, a passenger sensor, and a processor. The display may communicate routing data to a driver of a vehicle. The data storage element may store cartographic data including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane data. The passenger sensor may sense a number of passengers in the vehicle. The processor may be coupled with the display and the data storage element and may be configured to receive the number of sensed passengers in the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is eligible to travel through one or more HOV lanes based on the number of sensed passengers and HOV lane data, determine a route that includes the one or more HOV lanes if the vehicle is eligible to travel in the one or more HOV lanes, and provide a visual indication of the route to be shown on the display.

A method for inserting a file in a search tree (B-tree) implemented on a file system, includes: (a) in response to a current node being a root node or an internal node, determining a child node; (b) repeating (a) until a leaf node is detected; (c) in response to a number of leaf nodes at a level of the leaf node exceeding an upper limit of files or a number of child nodes of a current node exceeding an upper limit of sub-directories, balancing the level of the leaf node or child nodes; and (d) inserting the file at the level of the leaf node.

A multi-geography cloud storage system includes a first data center, with a first key-lookup server to access a first lookup table; and a first fragment server to store data or meta data associated with keys; and a second data center, with a second key-lookup server to access a second lookup table; and a second fragment server to store data associated with the keys; and a storage device to store a redundancy specification.

A system and method for measuring clock skew in a network is disclosed. The method comprises sending an echo message at a periodic rate from a plurality of servers in the network to an anchor server. A reply message can be sent from the anchor server to each server that includes a remote timestamp based on the anchor server clock. The remote timestamp can be recorded at each of the servers. A send timestamp that designates a time the echo message was sent and a receive timestamp that designates a time the reply message was received at the server can then be recorded. An estimated clock time of each server may also be calculated relative to the anchor server using the send and receive timestamps. A clock skew value can be determined by subtracting the estimated clock time of each server from the remote timestamp time. Interpolation can then performed between the clock skew values over a selected portion of the period of time to enable clock skew values to be estimated over the selected portion of time.

According to at least one embodiment, a method comprises a first thread desiring to perform work using a resource. The first thread determines whether another thread holds a lock on the resource, and if another thread (“blocking thread”) holds a lock on the resource, the work is transferred to the blocking thread for performance of the work by the blocking thread using the resource.

An apparatus and a method for reducing magnetic field in near-field by presenting high impedance at an operating frequency band are disclosed. A conducting element (112), which is suspended substantially parallel to a first side (104) of a printed circuit board (102) of a wireless portable communication device (100) over an electrically grounded conductor (116), forms a reactive element. The reactive element provides high impedance at operating frequencies of the wireless portable communication device and diverts radio frequency currents from the first side of the printed circuit board to the second side of the printed circuit board such that a magnetic field produced by the radio frequency currents on the first side of the printed circuit board is reduced in the near-field.

A toilet seat lowering device provides for the automatic lowering of the seat of a toilet when the toilet has been flushed. A counterbalance arm extends generally rearwardly from the seat, and is offset to one side to clear the tank support and structure behind the bowl. The seat is substantially balanced by the arm, with the arm allowing the seat to lower slowly and gently to a lowered position, resting upon the rim of the bowl. The seat and arm are actuated by an actuating line which is removably connected to a float within the tank. The float may be a conventional tank float, or may be a specially adapted float installed within the tank in addition to the conventional tank float. When the float descends as the water level in the tank drops when the toilet is flushed, the actuating line is drawn downwardly by the descending float, thereby drawing the counterbalance arm upwardly to cause the seat to lower. The actuating line is preferably removably attached to the float by a magnet, thereby allowing the seat to be raised immediately after flushing when the water level within the tank is still low. The magnet causes the line to reconnect to the float automatically when the water level raises the float to its standard position. A second counterbalance arm and actuating line may be used to cause the toilet lid or cover to lower automatically, in addition to the seat, if desired.
