A virtual content store may be provided. Upon receiving a request for a content stream from a subscriber at a regional headend, a central content vault may be examined to determine whether the content stream is available. Once the content stream is determined to be available in the central content vault, a streaming session may be established to the subscriber from the regional headend. The content stream may be retrieved from the central content vault and provided to the subscriber via the streaming session.

A threaded connection for a conduit includes a pin member and a box member. The pin member includes a pin thread having a pin thread crest, a pin thread root, a pin load flank oriented at a pin load flank angle, and a pin stab flank oriented at a pin stab flank angle. The box member includes a box thread having a box thread crest, a box thread root, a box load flank oriented at a box load flank angle, and a box stab flank oriented at a box stab flank angle. At least one of the pin load flank angle, the pin stab flank angle, the box load flank angle, and the box stab flank angle varies over at least part of the threaded connection.

A barrier-free wheelchair constructed entirely of plastic or non-metal components. The device is designed to facilitate the passage of wheelchair occupants through magnetometers, such as those utilized for airport security. The present invention is non-collapsible in nature, as the device is intended for on-site usage and not for transport in vehicles and the like. Due to its materials and construction, the wheelchair of the present invention also allows for a solid non-sling seat, is pilferage resistant, and provides multiple surfaces upon which indicia, such as corporate graphics, may appear. In addition, consistent with pre-existing wheelchairs, the present invention allows for the removable attachment of a variety of accessories, including foot rests and trays.

Data is recovered despite a single point of failure in a data exchanging system while accommodating scaleable data transfer rate performance. In the environment of at least two disk array controllers, a serial dumping scheme assists in recovery of data from a fast memory. It is imperative to avoid loss of write data from a host computer which is received and acknowledged but not yet stored in a disk medium. The configuration ensures that at least one of the controllers will handle the data so as to correct single failure point errors and properly store that data on one of the disks of an array. A fast memory providing a buffer between a remote host computer and arrays of data storage media is managed so that data received for writing is duplicated for reliability of storage while data for reading to the host computer is manipulated with an enhanced bandwidth of fast memory operation.

Non-contiguous or tiled payload data are efficiently transferred between peers over a fabric. Specifically, a client transfers a byte enable message to a peer device via a mailbox mechanism, where the byte enable message specifies which bytes of the payload data being transferred via the data packet are to be written to the frame buffer on the peer device and which bytes are not to be written. The client transfers the non-contiguous or tiled payload payload data to the peer device. Upon receiving the payload data, the peer device writes bytes from the payload data into the target frame buffer for only those bytes enabled via the byte enable message. One advantage of the present invention is that non-contiguous or tiled data are transferred over a fabric with improved efficiency.

A boom, most commonly used in conjunction with a cement truck to deliver cement a great distance from the cement truck to the work site, is adapted to be used with a truck mounted vacuum extraction system. In this instance, the boom is used in a completely backwards fashion. Instead of being connected to a pump, which pumps material to a work site, the boom is connected to the vacuum extraction vacuum blower in order to bring debris at the excavation site to the debris tank of the vacuum extraction system. The boom is able to reach up, over, under, or around barriers that stand in the way. In addition, the boom can also reach through or go under existing structures to reach the excavation site.

A system for managing perishables in a supply chain, including at least one sensor module adapted to sense at least one parameter of at least one monitorable shipping unit of perishables through multiple stages in a supply chain, a plurality of sensed inputs integrator and communicators (SIICs), each communicating with the least one sensor module at least one different one of the multiple stages in the supply chain, for receiving information relating to the at least one parameter, a perishable lifecycle manager (PLM) communicating with at least some of the plurality of SIICs and a user interface providing to a user an indication of at least one of remaining lifetime prediction, supply chain link accountability and first expired, first out logistics outputs relating to the at least one monitorable shipping unit of perishables whose at least one parameter is sensed by the at least one sensor module.
