摘要： A replication process provides fault tolerance for a continuous media stream in a computer network. In one embodiment, the original or source signal is sent to several splitters which, in turn, each make copies of the signal and send the copies into a second layer of devices, which are referred to as “concentrators.” A given concentrator receives as input one or more copies of the source signal. In a preferred embodiment, a given concentrator receives two copies of the source signal from at least two different splitters. The concentrators process the incoming streaming signal copies, for example, by merging them into a single or composite copy of the original source signal according to a given processing algorithm. The output of a given concentrator may then be fed into a splitter, with the process then being repeated if desired to make an arbitrary large number of copies of the signal. At the end of the replication process, the output of a splitter or a concentrator is fed directly or indirectly to an end user. The replication process is fault-tolerant, and thus the end user's signal is not interrupted regardless of signal or equipment problems within the distribution mechanism.

摘要翻译： 复制过程为计算机网络中的连续媒体流提供容错。 在一个实施例中，原始或源信号被发送到多个分离器，这些分离器又分别进行信号的副本并将副本发送到被称为“集中器”的第二层设备。 给定的集中器作为输入接收源信号的一个或多个副本。 在优选实施例中，给定的集中器从至少两个不同的分配器接收源信号的两个拷贝。 集中器例如通过根据给定的处理算法将它们合并成原始信号源的单个或复合副本来处理输入的流传输信号副本。 然后可以将给定的聚光器的输出馈送到分离器中，如果需要，则重复该过程以产生任意大量的信号。 在复制过程结束时，分离器或集中器的输出被直接或间接地馈送给终端用户。 复制过程是容错的，因此无论分发机制中的信号或设备问题如何，最终用户的信号都不会中断。

摘要： A social matchmaking service selects matches of on-line game players based on personal/social characteristics of the players. The social matching service evaluates several criteria to obtain a list of available, socially compatible, game sessions. Criteria about the player include a player's friends, positive feedback about the player, negative feedback about the player, games completed with other players, players to avoid, and the player's gamer zone, country and language. Criteria about hosts of potentially compatible game sessions are also considered. Social matching utilizes a multi-pass approach, applying rules for prioritizing social criteria at each pass. The multi-pass approach starts with a narrow search and broadens the search at each successive pass. At each successive pass, sessions are added to the list of potential sessions until a reasonable number of sessions is achieved. Game sessions are assigned session values in accordance with affiliations between players.

摘要： A baton having a stick with a smaller side handle secured at an angle thereto to move with the stick and an axle which passes through a spindle and attaches it to the free end of the side handle. The operator can now grasp the baton by the spindle with his or her index finger and overlying thumb, while the baton's stick and side handle rotate. A top ridge or stop prevents the grasping hand from slipping off the handle laterally. The middle, ring and little fingers and palm of the hand can now be used to firmly grasp the side handle to precisely interrupt the rotary travel of the baton's stick and side handle while the baton remains secured at its spindle by the operator's index finger and thumb. When the side handle is grasped between the operator's middle, ring and little fingers and his or her palm, the handle, fingers and palm act as a drum brake with the handle acting as the brake drum and the skin of the operator's fingers and, primarily, the skin of the operator's palm acting as the brake pad. As the skin is pressed against the side handle more and more forcefully, forces of friction bring the rotating side handle to a stop. Cutting grooves into the rotating side handle, that is attached to the bound spindle, can make this breaking even more precise. The grooves and their corresponding ridges rotate and contact and drag along the surface of the operator's palm skin at different speeds. Different areas on the continuous sheath of highly elastic palm skin simultaneously experience forces of friction of differing magnitudes.

摘要： Disclosed are various disease indications and treatment methods that benefit from selective lung region isolation. A lung region is bronchially isolated by regulating the flow of fluid to and from the lung region, such as by implanting one or more bronchial isolation devices into one or more bronchial passageways that feed air to the lung region. The bronchial isolation devices can comprise, for example, one-way valves, two-way valves, occluders or blockers, ligating clips, glues, sealants, and sclerosing agents.

摘要： An archive cluster application runs in a distributed manner across a redundant array of independent nodes. Each node preferably runs a complete archive cluster application instance. A given nodes provides a data repository, which stores up to a large amount (e.g., a terabyte) of data, while also acting as a portal that enables access to archive files. Each symmetric node has a set of software processes, e.g., a request manager, a storage manager, a metadata manager, and a policy manager. The request manager manages requests to the node for data (i.e., file data), the storage manager manages data read/write functions from a disk associated with the node, and the metadata manager facilitates metadata transactions and recovery across the distributed database. The policy manager implements one or more policies, which are operations that determine the behavior of an “archive object” within the cluster. The archive cluster application provides object-based storage. Preferably, the application permanently associates metadata and policies with the raw archived data, which together comprise an archive object. Object policies govern the object's behavior in the archive. As a result, the archive manages itself independently of client applications, acting automatically to ensure that all object policies are valid.

摘要翻译： 归档集群应用程序通过独立节点的冗余阵列以分布式方式运行。 每个节点最好运行一个完整的归档集群应用实例。 给定的节点提供了一个数据存储库，它可以存储大量数据（例如，一千兆字节）的数据，同时还充当允许访问存档文件的门户。 每个对称节点具有一组软件过程，例如请求管理器，存储管理器，元数据管理器和策略管理器。 请求管理器管理对节点的数据（即文件数据）的请求，存储管理器从与该节点相关联的盘管理数据读/写功能，并且元数据管理器便于跨分布式数据库的元数据事务和恢复。 策略管理器实现一个或多个策略，这些策略是确定集群中“归档对象”的行为的操作。 归档集群应用程序提供基于对象的存储。 优选地，应用程序将元数据和策略永久地关联到原始归档数据，其一起构成归档对象。 对象策略管理对象在归档中的行为。 因此，归档管理自身独立于客户端应用程序，自动执行以确保所有对象策略都有效。
