Abstract: A distributed data storage system that employs erasure coding grows from fewer than data-plus-parity (D+P) storage service nodes to at least D+P nodes. The system detects an increase in the number of available storage service nodes, i.e., at least D+P; analyzes how storage for each virtual disk is distributed among storage containers in the existing (pre-growth) nodes; identifies containers that are co-hosted on the same node; and, on a node-by-node basis, migrates data fragments from a co-hosted storage container to a corresponding new container that is configured on another node. For each virtual disk in the illustrative system, the migration causes containers, including the erasure-coded data fragments they host, to be re-distributed so that the containers for a virtual disk are NOT doubled up or co-hosted on the same node. The disclosed computer-implemented process for re-distributing erasure-coded data fragments operates organically, without requiring the system to restart or reboot.

Abstract: Liquid desiccant air conditioning systems and methods to operate them to achieved desired supply air dry bulb temperature and humidity conditions are described herein. In some embodiments, the liquid desiccant air conditioning systems can include a cooling unit, an absorber, a regenerator, and a control unit. The control unit can be operably coupled to the cooling unit, the absorber, and the regenerator such that the control unit can operate the liquid desiccant system to produce a supply air stream at a relatively independent target temperature and humidity. In some embodiments, the control unit can adjust one or more parameters and/or variables of the components of the liquid desiccant system to produce the supply air stream at a high energy efficiency.

Abstract: Particle radiation therapy and planning utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Radiation therapy prescription information and patient MRI data can be received and a radiation therapy treatment plan can be determined for use with a particle beam. The treatment plan can utilize the radiation therapy prescription information and the patient MRI data to account for interaction properties of soft tissues in the patient through which the particle beam passes. Patient MRI data may be received from a magnetic resonance imaging system integrated with the particle radiation therapy system. MRI data acquired during treatment may also be utilized to modify or optimize the particle radiation therapy treatment.

Abstract: A stylet for use in guiding a catheter to a predetermined location within the body of a patient includes a continuous core member for transmitting an electrical signal from a distal section of the stylet to a proximal end. The stylet includes a differing stiffness profile along its length. The differing stiffness characteristics are achieved by varying the number of strands of a wire, the diameter of each individual strand, twisting or braiding the strands, or varying the number of turns per unit length of the twisted strands. The stiffness of the stylet may decrease intermittently or continuously from the proximal end to the distal section. By using multiple strands bundled together, the beneficial conductive and, optionally, magnetic properties can be maximized while at the same time the stiffness characteristics can be modified.

Abstract: A data storage management system comprises features for initiating failover orchestration jobs that invoke recovery resources on demand in a cloud computing environment. Backed up data that is stored persistently in the cloud computing environment may be rapidly restored within the cloud computing environment for use in disaster recovery and/or in test and verification scenarios. This approach may be contrasted to systems where a failover system is “always on” at the failover destination, such as having failover resources always up and running in the cloud computing environment. Such resources typically include a failover virtual machine (VM), a virtual machine datastore for the restored data, and one or more computing resources for restoring an auxiliary copy to the VM's datastore. The cloud-based failover resources are deactivated or taken down once the failover event ends.

Abstract: This application relates to targeted search of backup data. A data storage system can provide a targeted search of backup data based on events associated with the backup data. Upon receiving a search query that identifies an event stored in an event database, the data storage system can determine an event location and an event time associated with the identified event by accessing the event database and output a search result including a portion of the backup data that is associated with the event location and the event time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile enrollment in automated clearing house (ACH) transactions using mobile-captured images of financial documents are provided. Applications running on a mobile device provide for the capture and processing of images of documents needed for enrollment in an ACH transaction, such as a blank check, remittance statement and driver's license. Data from the mobile-captured images that is needed for enrolling in ACH transactions is extracted from the processed images, such as a user's name, address, bank account number and bank routing number. The user can edit the extracted data, select the type of document that is being captured, authorize the creation of an ACH transaction and select an originator of the ACH transaction. The extracted data and originator information is transmitted to a remote server along with the user's authorization so the ACH transaction can be setup between the originator's and receiver's bank accounts.

Abstract: A control application facilitates interactions with, and configurations of, the information management system that manages one or more client computing devices of an information management system. The control application may be implemented using a variety of modules that allow a user to interact with the information management system services in various ways. Using the control application, a user may view a backup status of the information management system, and view the backup status of specific client computing devices that are managed by the information management system. The user may also search for various entities and/or objects within the information management system using the control application. In addition, a user may view the status of one or more backup jobs configured within the information management system, as well as backup plans that have been established for one or more of the client computing devices.
