Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and computer-program products for providing a library of base classes to be used by applications to facilitate real-time analytics. In some examples, the library may be a C++ Library that provides a set of primitive operators (e.g., spout base class, tube base class, and sink base class) for user derivation. In some examples, the spout base class may relate to receiving data from a data source, the tube base class may relate to performing one or more operations on the received data, and the sink base class may relate to sending the processed data to a data target. The spout, tube, sink together provide a real-time streaming framework interface that may be extended by the user.

Abstract: In an LED lamp according to one embodiment of the present invention, a PWM control unit 25 performs PWM control of a current i flowing through an LED unit 24 using by driving a pulse at a frequency higher than a predetermined frequency when a frequency of an external alternating current inputted between input terminal parts 20a, 20b is lower than the predetermined frequency, and does not perform PWM control of the current i flowing through the LED unit 24 when a frequency of the external AC inputted between the input terminal parts 20a, 20b is higher than the predetermined frequency. Accordingly, by replacing a previously mounted fluorescent lamp, the LED unit drives pulses at a high frequency and lights up for illumination, regardless of whether a ballast of an illumination device is of a glow starter, rapid starter or inverter lighting type.

Abstract: A computer system includes a hard disk drive, a processor coupled to the hard disk drive, and a cache interface coupled to the processor and detachably connectable to a cache memory.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable code for maintaining flash data structures in accordance with events of a flash memory system are disclosed. Both an events log as well as at least one flash management table are maintained in flash memory. For at least one point in time, a most recently stored flash memory table is indicative of an earlier state of the flash memory system, while at least one event that is more recent than the earlier state is stored in the events log. During power-up, the flash management table is retrieved from flash memory. If the most recent event of the flash memory table is earlier than the most recent event of the events log, events are retrieved from the events log in order to update the flash memory table. Optionally, the updated flash memory table is saved to flash memory.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling concurrent usage of non-volatile memory for code execution and data storage/processing, comprising a hardware mechanism that can support automatic suspend and resume operations. This mechanism entails the integration of a suspend logic circuit and a resume logic circuit into the chip hardware, or the stationing of the logic chip in any way that it can operate together with the chip. This system and method enable a Flash memory chip to process code execution while it is processing erase/program operations, avoiding conflicts that ordinarily crash such a system. This is achieved by sensing the operation status of the chip and the CPU/Bus activity, and commanding the flash memory device to suspend and/or resume program/erase operations at appropriate times, so as not to conflict with read requests.

According to one aspect of the appliance, the primary memory is nonvolatile and the memory unit also includes a volatile memory a power sensor and a controller. When the power sensor detects interruption of power to the memory unit, the controller copies data selectively from the volatile memory to the primary memory. Power for this copying is provided by a secondary power source such as a battery or a capacitor. According to another aspect of the appliance, the appliance includes primary and secondary power sources, and the memory unit also includes a charge pump whose functions include both boosting power from the primary source for the primary memory and charging the secondary source.

Abstract: A method for managing page-based data storage media such as flash media, a system that uses that method, and a computer-readable storage medium bearing code for implementing the method. New data are written to the storage medium in a manner that precludes corruption of old data if the writing of the new data is interrupted. Specifically, risk zones are defined, by identifying, for each page, the other pages whose data are put at risk of corruption if writing to the page is interrupted. A page, that otherwise would be the target of a write operation, is not written if any of the pages in its risk zone contain data that could be corrupted if the write operation is interrupted.
