Abstract: A reanalysis ensemble service includes a plurality of conversion utilities, each conversion utility configured to convert a specific one of a plurality of disparate climate reanalysis datasets from different sources to common format files that are temporally and spatially registered, a data analytics platform for storing and operating on the different sourced common format files, a service interface for mapping service requests to analytic operations performed on the different sourced common format files by the data analytics platform, and a services library that dynamically creates data objects from one or more of the different sourced common format files in response to the analytic operations, and delivers the data objects to the service interface.

Abstract: A climate data intercomparison and analytics service application programming interface (CDIAS-API) includes a set of basic utilities configured to map calls from client applications to single service-side methods operating on one or more disparate climate reanalysis datasets by the climate data intercomparison and analytics service, a set of extended utilities comprising scripts that call on one or more of a set of canonical operations, and one or more basic utilities, and a collections reference model configured to provide semantic alignment of variable names, method alignment of statistical operations, and output data format consistency for operations across the one or more disparate climate reanalysis datasets.

Abstract: An extended reanalysis ensemble service includes a loader services application program interface configured to receive data parameters for a set of automated multisource data provisioning operations, provide climate source data from one or more disparate climate data collections specified in the data parameters to conversion utilities for transforming the climate source data into flat, serialized block compressed sequence files, and load the sequence files to a distributed file system of the extended reanalysis ensemble service, and a reanalysis ensemble service application program interface configured to receive operational parameters for the set of automated multisource data provisioning operations, convert the operational parameters to one or more methods recognized by a service interface of the extended reanalysis ensemble service to be converted to analytical operations executed by the extended reanalysis ensemble service, and provide results of the one or more analytical operations executed by the exten

Abstract: A reanalysis ensemble service includes a plurality of conversion utilities, each conversion utility configured to convert a specific one of a plurality of disparate climate data collections from different sources to common format files that are temporally and spatially registered, where the disparate climate data collections include reanalysis data sets and forward processing data products, a data analytics platform for storing and operating on the different sourced common format files, a service interface for mapping service requests to analytic operations performed on the different sourced common format files by the data analytics platform, and a services library that dynamically creates data objects from one or more of the different sourced common format files in response to the analytic operations, and delivers the data objects to the service interface.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a SONOS VT window using a current sensing scheme is disclosed. The present invention creates a first current path and a second current path through the volatile and non-volatile sections of an nvSRAM memory cell. The erase threshold voltage of the first edge of the window is determined when current is detected in the first path. The program voltage of the second edge of the window is determined when current is detected in the second path. Accordingly, the voltage used to power a plurality of SONOS transistors may be set using the values of the first and second threshold edges to determine the VT window.

Abstract: A system and method for programming both sides of the non-volatile portion in a semiconductor memory is disclosed. The present invention erases and then programs the memory stacks in the non-volatile portion of an nvSRAM.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, various types of seeds are coated with a coating comprising a) a base buildup layer comprising a porous composition such as pumice; b) an intermediate build up layer comprising a silicate composition such as talc or mica; and c) an outer layer comprising a carbon-based composition such as graphite. A binder is optionally added to one or more layers. Preferably, each layer is applied to a seed in either a batch or continuous process using conventional methods of coating. Hybrid corn and sunflower seeds may be coated in accordance with the present invention resulting in a substantially uniform size seed.
