Abstract:
When an HDD is subjected to shock with a magnetic head (22) retracted to the parking zone, a suspension (34) having a magnetic head (36) at the free end thereof swings. When a lowest suspension (34) swings, the free end of the suspension (34) is brought into contact with a pin projection (50) and further displacement toward the base (12) is impeded. The suspension (34) that further swings in this condition presents not a swing in a primary mode (cantilever support mode) but a swing in a secondary mode (two-point support mode), and the maximum displacement of the suspension (34) occurs at the longitudinal intermediate portion of the suspension (34). The intermediate portion that is displaced is made to go into a groove (48), and the contact of the intermediate portion of the suspension (34) with the base (12) is impeded by the groove (48).

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for extending OpenvSwitch (OVS) megaflow offloads to hardware to address hardware pipeline limitations. Under a method implemented on a compute platform including a Network Interface Controller (NIC) having one or more ports and running software including OVS software and a Linux operating system having a kernel including a TC-flower module and a NIC driver a new megaflow is created with a mask in the OVS software employing a subset of microflow fields for a packet. The microflow fields and the megaflow mask is sent to the NIC driver. A new megaflow is implemented in the NIC driver employing a subset of the microflow fields and the NIC driver creates a new hardware flow on the NIC employing a packet match scheme using all the microflow fields. The NIC also programs a NIC hardware pipeline with the new hardware flow using a match scheme that may depend on the available hardware resources, such as the size of a TCAM.

An activity monitoring system comprising a plurality of wireless units wherein a first wireless unit comprises a wireless transceiver to broadcast at least one timing signal; a second wireless unit comprises: a wireless transceiver to receive at least one signal; a monitoring device that generates monitoring data; a memory to store the monitoring data; a processor to synchronize a time with the corresponding monitoring data; and wherein the second wireless unit: processes the received timing signal from the first wireless unit; synchronizes the monitoring data with the timing signal resulting in a time-synchronized data stream.
Abstract:
The present invention provides immunosuppression compounds to inhibit the programmed cell death 1 (PD1) signalling pathway. The present invention further provides peptide based compositions for treatment of cancer or treatment of infections via immunopotentiation caused by inhibition of immunosuppressive signaling induced by PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2 and therapies using them, immunopotentiative substrates included as the active ingredient. Further, the invention provides an application of the compositions containing the peptide moieties for preventive and/or therapeutic agents for cancer, cancer metastasis, immunodeficiency, an infectious disease or the like and an application of peptide moieties as a testing or diagnostic agent or a research agent for such a disease.
Abstract:
An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes an inspection engine and a forwarding engine. The inspection engine is to identify whether a tunneled network packet is associated with the multicast group address and a VNI that is contained in the mapping table. The forwarding engine is to forward or discard the packet in response to whether the VNI is contained in the mapping table.
Abstract:
An on-board vehicle computing system stores values in a memory of a first engine control unit (ECU) and stores corresponding backup values in a memory of a second ECU. In this way, the second ECU provides data backup functionality for the first ECU's data. The system may retrieve a backup value from the first ECU and restore the corresponding value in the second ECU using the backup value. In one illustrative scenario, if an original engine ECU (EECU) fails and a replacement EECU is installed, the system can retrieve backup values for vehicle speed limiter (VSL) parameters from memory in a cab ECU (CECU) and update the corresponding data in the replacement EECU with the backup values.
Abstract:
A printed circuit tri-band antenna has a feedline region and a radiating structure region which provides RF emissions in a lowband (LB) RF frequency, a lower highband (HB-L) frequency, and a upper highband (HB-U) frequency. The feedline region is formed of conductors on an upper plane, the conductors including a feedline which is edge coupled to left and right ground structures. The feedline couples directly to a HB-U radiating structure, and includes a stub. The HB-U structure and stub also provide edge coupling through a gap for coupling RF into a combined HB-L and LB radiation structure, which provides frequency-dependent paths for radiating RF energy at the HB-L and LB frequencies. The antenna is preferably used with 2.35 Ghz LB, 5.07 GHz HB-L, and 5.57 Ghz HB-H.
Abstract:
A stacked cell for a flow cell battery is presented. The stacked cell is sealed by a gasket between individual components. The gasket is formed such that it seals against leakage of electrolytes and facilitates the flow of electrolytes through the stacked cell. Further, the gasket is formed to minimize the linear expansion of the gasket material with temperature.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for load-balancing deterministic NAT functions in a mobile gateway or other device in which subscriber sessions are distributed across a plurality of session management cards. Each of the session management cards may host a non-contiguous set of public addresses and a non-contiguous set of private network addresses associated with the subscriber sessions. To facilitate deterministic NAT under such conditions, each of the session management cards locally maps the non-contiguous set of public network addresses to an internal contiguous sequence of identifiers for the public addresses and maps the non-contiguous set of private network addresses to an internal contiguous sequence of identifiers for the private addresses. Each of the session management cards may then perform deterministic NAT on packets based on the contiguous sequence of identifiers for the public addresses and the contiguous sequence of identifiers for the private addresses internal to the session management card.
