Publication number: 20230267101Abstract: A distributed database management system includes a centralized management module for managing resources within a customer network. The management module software, e.g., vCenter, or a health state plugin of the management module, accesses health state information from distributed database nodes within the customer network. The health state information may be or may include a simple signal, analogous to a heartbeat signal, that each functional node generates periodically and sends to the management module. The nodes may include a primary node to maintain a database and one or more secondary nodes to replicate the database. The primary and secondary nodes may be nodes within an edge node cluster of the customer network. The edge node cluster may be implemented within an infrastructure appliance, e.g., VxRail. The management module shares the health state information with the nodes and controls, based on the health state information, the designation of a primary node and secondary nodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Wenfeng LI, Stéphane MENG, Chen LIANG

Patent number: 11731997Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for preparing an amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial based on pulping black liquor, an amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial, and an oil sludge detergent. In the disclosure, physical treatments such as ball milling and high-pressure jet homogenization treatment are conducted on alkali lignin at the early stage to adjust the molecular weight and size of alkali lignin and thus to give alkali lignin nanoparticles with uniform particle sizes; and on this basis, a chemical treatment such as alkylation grafting modification is conducted to give amphiphilic lignin nanoparticles with both hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. Due to the nano-size effect, the amphiphilic lignin nanomaterial has a significantly-increased specific surface area (SSA) and effectively-improved surface properties, which can reduce the oil-water interfacial tension, and emulsify the crude oil and peel off the crude oil from the surface of rock particles, so as to achieve the purpose of oil-solid separation.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: GUANGXI UNIVERSITYInventors: Chengrong Qin, Jian Zhang, Chen Liang, Shuangquan Yao, Xinliang Liu, Zhiwei Wang, Wei Li, Jiulong Sha

Patent number: 11719547Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining whether an electric vehicle (EV) requires a current charge. The method analyzes a set of EV data, wherein the set of EV data comprises a battery level, a destination, a current position, and a predicted arrival time to the destination. The method further constructs a charging regulation model for the EV, based on the analyzed set of EV data. The method further computes a risk score pertaining to charging the EV, based on the constructed charging regulation model for the EV, and determines whether the EV requires a current charge based on the computed risk score. The method further engages one or more wireless charging points on a roadway, if the computed risk score is below a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Kyndryl, Inc.Inventors: Michael Treadway, Craig M.

Publication number: 20220373971Abstract: The present invention features new waveguide layouts for input, redirection (expansion), and output holograms that minimize cross talk between colors and allow all three colors to reside in a single waveguide. The use of multiple incoupling holograms that diffract different colors of light in different directions, or along different paths, through a waveguide substrate advantageously provides for a reduction of cross-talk between the colors of a holographic image. In a square-shaped design, red, green, and blue input and output holograms approximately overlay on top of each other. The green redirection hologram is laterally separated from the red and blue redirection holograms. Using this square-shape design, the light beams for the three colors are separated into two paths propagating from input to output holograms.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Arkady Bablumyan, Chen Liang
