Abstract: A method performed by one or more processing resources of one or more computer systems is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an object at a first of a plurality of nodes from a second of the plurality of storage nodes within a cluster switch fabric, examining a value associated included within the received object, wherein the value is associated with a clock value of the second node and updating a clock operating at the first node with the received value.

Abstract: A method for creating a spatio-temporal schedule includes receiving a set of available work crews and a set of workorders to be scheduled, sequencing the set of workorders, wherein each workorder of the set of workorders is associated with a geographic location, a start time and an end time, and iterating through the set of available work crews, assigning a plurality of workorders of the set of workorders fully allocating a current crew before selecting a next crew, until all work crews are fully allocated and/or all workorders are assigned, wherein the assignment of workorders for a given work crew generates a route comprising the plurality of workorders.

Abstract: A method for pre-amplifying an input voltage signal to a pre-amplified voltage signal. The method includes receiving the input voltage signal; obtaining a high-pass filtered voltage signal by applying a high-pass filter to the input voltage signal; processing the high-pass filtered voltage signal to a current signal that corresponds to the high-pass filtered voltage signal; transmitting the current signal through a differential transmission line; converting the transmitted current signal to a converted voltage signal that corresponds to the high-pass filtered voltage signal; and outputting the converted voltage signal as the pre-amplified voltage signal. An integrated circuit chip implementing the method is also disclosed.
