Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: determining a pacing requirement for host requests based on one or more thresholds; setting a pacing delay level based on the one or more thresholds in response to the determination of the pacing requirement; and implementing a memory request flow for a host request based on the pacing requirement and the pacing delay level.

Abstract: Embodiments securely control an electronic asset. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of securely controlling an electronic asset includes identifying an asset NFT pertaining to the electronic asset. An ownership status of the electronic asset is computationally evaluated according to a proof of ownership provided by an owner node paired with the electronic asset. Responsive to evaluating the ownership status of the electronic asset, the asset NFT is bound with a representation of an identity of the owner node or of an authorized user node paired with the electronic asset. The bound representation of the identity and the asset NFT are registered on a blockchain associated with the electronic asset. A task is computationally performed involving the electronic asset, and the bound representation of the identity, and the electronic asset is securely controlled, in response to receiving a task request from the owner node or the authorized user node.

Abstract: A modular cooling unit particularly useful for an automotive vehicle is configured with a heat exchanger having a tunnel port extending at least part way through the core of the heat exchanger. The case of a cooling fan motor is mounted within the tunnel port, so as to minimize the overall length of the cooling unit.

Abstract: A system and method deliver audible caller identification information when standard Caller ID information is invalid or cannot be provided. In one disclosed embodiment, the Caller ID information must include a valid number of digits and a valid area code. If the Caller ID information is not valid, a calling party is prompted by an announcement to provide the audible caller identification information.

Abstract: A bulk shipping container has a plurality of removable supporting legs extending downwardly from a periphery of its interior space beyond the bottom of the container to support the container in an elevated position above a floor. Reinforcing straps positioned on the container hold the legs in their extended positions. A dolly may be positioned beneath the elevated container between the supporting legs and the reinforcing straps removed to enable the weight of the container to cause it to slide down along the plurality of removable supporting legs to a lowered position resting on the dolly, which may then be used to transport the loaded container into a building for removal of product from the container.

Abstract: A method for converting a first time and a first date in a first format to a second time in a second format includes determining a number of seconds that have elapsed between a predetermined date and a beginning of a current year of the first date. The method further includes adding to the determined number of seconds, a calculated number of seconds calculated from the beginning of the current year to a current month and a current day of the first date to obtain a first sum. The first sum varies based on whether the current month is within a leap year and is subsequent to a leap day of the leap year. A number of seconds that have elapsed between a beginning of the current day of the first date and the first time is added to the first sum. Lastly, a predetermined number of seconds is added to the first sum when Daylight Savings Time is in effect to obtain the second time in the second format.

Abstract: A system and method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing is disclosed. In one implementation, a query is received during a permissive dialing period. The query comprises a destination location that is associated with a first NPA. It is determined whether a first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The first call processing record is associated with a destination location that is undergoing a NPA split. The first call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a first NPA. A second call processing record is then used for processing in place of the first call processing record when the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The second call processing record is associated with the destination location that is undergoing an NPA split. The second call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a second NPA.

Abstract: A stroboscopic timing device for an internal combustion engine includes a switchable light source having a light emitter and a base for mounting the light source on an exterior surface of an engine adjacent to a rotating shaft such as a camshaft or a crankshaft. A power source and trigger circuit are operatively associated with the light source, and at least the trigger circuit is enclosed within a housing mounted to the base. A sensor, which is removeably cabled to the switchable light source, triggers energization of the light source when a predetermined engine operating condition, such as a spark voltage, is detected.
