Abstract: A method for identifying conditions that correlate with one ore more events related to operation of a power grid. The method includes the determining one or more distinguishing characteristics of a first chunk. The first chunk includes data elements relevant to operating a power grid. The method also includes determining whether a distinguishing characteristic of the first chunk correlates with a distinguishing characteristic of one or more of a plurality of second chunks. Each second chunk includes a plurality of data elements corresponding with the data of the first chunk. The method further includes determining whether a second chunk, having a distinguishing characteristic equivalent to a distinguishing characteristic of the first chunk, is associated with the one or more events.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for implementing a converged network protocol to facilitate communication between different communication protocol networks. There are configuration parameters in a memory for communication between the first adaptor implementing a first communication protocol and the second adaptor in a converged network protocol to indicate to the second adaptor that the converged network protocol is supported. A packet is received at the first adaptor encoded in a second communication protocol directed to a third communication protocol network, forwarded to the second adaptor, and then forwarded to the third communication protocol network. A command is received at the second adaptor, directed to the first adaptor, to implement a first function in the converged network protocol for communication between the first and second adaptors. A second function in the first communication protocol to implement the first function is transmitted to the first adaptor.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for performing robust, parallel data transfer by a processor device. Data is segmented into k-bit segments, where k?1. The k-bit segments are convolution encoded, using m?1 stages of delay. The n output streams are transmitted in parallel for increased effective data rate, where n>k. The n output streams are received. An XOR (Exclusive OR) logic is applied to the n output streams with pathing allowed by the convolution encoding, in a trellis-decoding diagram.

Abstract: An artifact repository can be queried for a set of different pre-existing presentation artifacts based on requirements and constraints of a presentation event to produce a query result. The query result can comprise a set of presentation artifacts suitable for satisfying at least a portion of the requirements and constraints. The querying can match the artifact specific metadata against the requirements and constraints to produce the query result. An agenda comprising a set of different agenda items can be automatically constructed utilizing the query result. Each of the different agenda items can occupy a time slot of the presentation event. Creation of agenda items can be a non-manual effort automatically determined by a computing device in a data driven manner given the requirements, the constraints, and the pre-existing presentation artifacts of the artifact repository. Resources for the different agenda items can be automatically booked.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for optimizing migration/copying of de-duplicated data from an internal storage system to a removable storage system. A preliminary number of clusters to be generated are determined for sets of data objects stored on the internal storage system based on a number of the sets of data objects. The preliminary number of clusters is generated based on shortest distances between the sets of data objects, each cluster comprising one or more sets of data objects and each set of data objects comprising one or more chunks of data. A chosen cluster is identified from a set of clusters by identifying a cluster having a greatest number of common chunks within as few sets of data objects. Responsive to an export-size of the chosen cluster failing to exceed the available storage capacity of the removable storage system, the chosen cluster is exported to the removable storage system.

Abstract: For authorizing removable medium access, a reassembly module retrieves a medium portion of an encryption key from a removable medium. The encryption key encrypts encrypted data stored on the removable medium and includes a plurality of portions. The reassembly module further retrieves the user portion of the encryption key assigned to a user requesting the removable medium. The reassembly module reassembles the encryption key using at least the medium portion and the user portion of the plurality of portions. The decryption module decrypts the encrypted data with the reassembled encryption key.

Abstract: Dynamic reconfiguration-switching of motor windings is optimized between winding-configurations. Acceleration is traded off in favor of higher velocity upon detecting an electric motor is at an optimal angular-velocity for switching to an optimal lower torque constant and voltage constant. The total back electromotive force (BEMF) is prohibited from inhibiting further acceleration to a higher angular-velocity.

Abstract: A switch manager places one or more of the ports into an on-demand pool and are given a default standby state so that the ports are not utilized in normal network switch operation. The manager monitors switch operation conditions for an on-demand resource allocation event that causes the manager to allocate a port from the on-demand pool and configure the port in compliance with an operating configuration so that the newly allocated port may be utilized by the network node. The manager sets a network node status indicating that on-demand pool resources are being utilized and monitors for an operational configuration reduction event that causes the manager to return the port to the on-demand pool.
