Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for distinguishing correctable bit errors in memory. A bit error detection module detects a correctable bit error in memory. The correctable bit error is correctable using error-correcting code (“ECC”). A comparison module compares an error location indicator with a stored error location indicator. The error location indicator is a location of the correctable bit error. The stored error location indicator includes to at least one previously stored error location indicator of a previously detected correctable bit error. A storage module stores the error location indicator in response to the comparison module determining that the error location indicator differs from a stored error location indicator. A bit error counter module increases a random bit error counter if the comparison module determines that the error location indicator differs from a stored error location indicator and does not increase the random bit error counter otherwise.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for dynamically synchronizing multiple document management systems based on customizable events and actions. An edit module edits records in a custom configuration database in response to user input, each of the records comprising a timestamp and configuration data corresponding to an event. A loader module caches the records from the custom configuration database in a memory. A polling module compares a timestamp in the memory to a timestamp in the custom configuration database at a polling interval. An update module updates a record in the memory when the timestamp of the record in the memory is older than the timestamp of a corresponding record in the custom configuration database. An execution module performs a synchronization action on a destination document management system in response to an event in a source document management system based on corresponding configuration data in the custom configuration database.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of generating a distributed text index for parallel query processing by a number of nodes. A set of node indices is generated for text indexing a set of documents, each node text index covering a subset of the documents. For each node text index, a local frequency measure for each term of the node text index is calculated on the basis of a frequency of documents containing the term in the subset of the documents of the node. A global frequency measure for each term is calculated on the basis of a frequency of documents containing the term in the set of documents. A quality measure for each node text index is calculated on the basis of the local frequency measures of the terms of the node and the global frequency measure of the terms of the node.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automated data determination propagation. A data package source collects data and compiles the data into data packages. A local data package prioritization module determines a prioritized order of the data packages based on a local priority matrix. The local data package prioritization module sends the data packages in the prioritized order over a temporary data connection to a central data package prioritization module. The local data package prioritization module updates the local priority matrix over the temporary data connection based on a central priority matrix. The central data package prioritization module receives the data packages and makes one or more updates to the central priority matrix based on the data packages.

Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a dental prosthesis implant system and associated apparatus and methods that overcome at least some shortcomings of the prior art. According to one representative embodiment, a connector for an implant retained prosthesis includes a first portion securable to a prosthesis and a second portion securable to an implant embeddable within a bone under a gingival layer. The first portion includes a first engagement element. The second portion includes a second engagement element that defines an internal cavity. The first engagement element is positionable within the internal cavity. When the second portion is secured to the implant and the first engagement element is positioned within the internal cavity, at least a portion of the internal cavity and first engagement element is within the gingival layer. In one implementation, the first portion is coupleable to the second portion via a snap-fit connection.

Abstract: A protocol analyzer is provided including a monitoring state machine for tracking a communication protocol. A trigger mechanism triggers a trace by the analyzer when the state of the protocol differs from the monitoring state machine. The state of the protocol differs from the monitoring state machine when no state change occurs in a pre-defined time period, which may be defined for a given state change. The state of the protocol also differs from the monitoring state machine when a different state change takes place to that indicated by the monitoring state machine.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for multi-address space tracing. A trigger module establishes a trigger event with a trace level. The trigger event occurs in at least a first address space of a plurality of address spaces. The trace level defines trace data to be stored from the plurality of address spaces. A monitor monitors messages communicated within and between the plurality of address spaces. A detection module detects the trigger event. A log module logs the trace data from the plurality of address spaces defined by the trace level in response to detecting the trigger event.

A destage module destages the data sequentially to a coarse grained repository such as a stride level repository and destages a directory entry for the data to a coarse grained directory such as a stride level directory if the data satisfies a repository policy. In addition, the destage module destages the data to a fine grained repository such as a track level repository overwriting an existing data instance and destages the directory entry to a fine grained directory such as a track level directory if the data does not satisfy the repository policy.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for providing command manager support for pluggable data formats. The present invention accepts arbitrary hierarchical input data structures even when the hierarchical input data structure represents hierarchical data in a structure independent of a specific type of data repository. A data mediator receives a hierarchical input data structure and determines whether if it is a snapshot structure or a delta structure. If it is a snapshot update, the command manager creates an in-memory map object structure populated with values from a data repository and compares it with the snapshot. Based on the comparison, it generates a DESPI hierarchical command structure in a format-specific mediation module, and the commands are executed in the data repository. If the hierarchical input data structure is a delta structure, the command manager generates a hierarchical command structure and then translates it to a DESPI-compliant command structure.

In one embodiment, an export module exports the second code set to the library.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for executing functions in an event driven environment. A bridge module stores parameters and a proxy function pointer for a proxy function in a bridge structure for a co-routine context executing in a co-routine environment.
