Abstract: The invention relates to a method in which a starting material for injection-molding, having a viscosity of between 0.50 and 0.7 dL/g, is produced with the aid of a chain breaker from a recycled post-consumer PET having a viscosity of between 0.72 and 0.86 dL/g according to ASTM D4603 and a copolymer fraction of at most approximately 3%. In the method, the comminuted and dried PET material is melted and decontaminated to such a degree that it is suitable for applications in the food sector and the consumer goods sector. A chain breaker is added to the rPET material in the melt of the recycling extruder and/or preferably the melt of the injection unit in order to lower the viscosity and to enrich the PET with copolymers.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a roving, a yarn and a semi-finished product comprising this co-filament, a use of this co-filament and a method for producing this co-filament.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis using inhibitors of lactate transporters.

Abstract: Mounting systems are disclosed for attaching photovoltaic modules to torque tubes. Such systems can include saddle brackets that maximize space along a torque tube by sharing torque tube mounting holes between adjacent brackets. The brackets can be positionally stable on the torque tube prior to complete installation to enable a single installer to assemble a complete tracker array.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage system comprising one or more storage controllers, two or more storage devices and two or more storage clients, the storage controllers, the storage devices and the storage clients being coupled via a network in order to exchange information between the storage controllers, said storage devices and said storage clients, wherein each storage client is adapted to provide data-path-storage commands to the storage devices via the network bypassing the storage controllers, wherein the storage system is adapted to provide data redundancy using a data redundancy scheme higher than RAID 1.

Abstract: Space of a data storage memory of a data storage memory system is reclaimed by determining heat metrics of data stored in the data storage memory; determining relocation metrics related to relocation of the data within the data storage memory; determining utility metrics of the data relating the heat metrics to the relocation metrics for the data; and making the data whose utility metric fails a utility metric threshold, available for space reclamation.

Abstract: An object-based data storage system includes a memory and a processor for executing machine executable instructions configured for implementing logical containers for data objects each having a global identifier. The containers are configured for storing metadata including a first parameterization value descriptive of a number of storage nodes and a second parameterization value descriptive of a classification of the data objects. The machine executable instructions are further configured for implementing a first object storage ring for addressing storage locations across the multiple storage nodes using a surjective function.

Abstract: A computing device may determine that a policy event to initiate data destruction for a first set of data has been triggered. The first set of data may be located on a first file. The computing device may delete, in response to the determining, a first security key used for decrypting the first set of data. The computing device may delete, in response to the determining, one or more transaction log entries associated with the first set of data. The one or more transaction log entries may include a copy of the first set of data. The one or more transaction log entries may be a part of a transaction log. The transaction log may be a second file that stores a history of each data change within the database.

Abstract: The population of data to be admitted into secondary data storage cache of a data storage system is controlled by determining heat metrics of data of the data storage system. If candidate data is submitted for admission into the secondary cache, data is selected to tentatively be evicted from the secondary cache; candidate data provided to the secondary data storage cache is rejected if its heat metric is less than the heat metric of the tentatively evicted data; and candidate data submitted for admission to the secondary data storage cache is admitted if its heat metric is equal to or greater than the heat metric of the tentatively evicted data.
