  • Patent number: 9734074
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for data copy avoidance where after a data access request is received from the first storage node, what is sent by a second storage node to the first storage node is not an address of a second storage space in a second mirrored cache, but an address of a first storage space in a first cache corresponding to the second storage space. In this way, data access may be implemented directly in the first cache on the first storage node, and can reduce data communication across different storage nodes, eliminate potential system performance bottlenecks, and enhance data access performance.

  • Patent number: 9731580
    Abstract: A slider window assembly for a vehicle includes (i) a frame portion having upper and lower rails, (ii) at least one fixed window panel at least partially defining an opening, and (iii) a movable window panel that is movable along the upper and lower rails between a closed position and an opened position. A sensing system is operable to determine when the movable window panel is in the closed position and when the movable window panel is not in the closed position. The sensing system includes a magneto-responsive sensor connected to the frame portion and a magnetic element connected to the movable window panel. When the movable window panel is in the closed position, the sensor detects the the magnetic element. When the sensing system determines that the movable window panel is not in the closed position, an indicator is activated to alert the vehicle driver that the movable window panel is not closed.

  • Patent number: 9734223
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine differences between a source table and a target table in a database environment, as being persistent or transient. A first set of differences between the source table and the target table is determined at a first point in time. A second set of differences between the source table and the target table is determined at a second point in time subsequent to the first point in time. At least one of a set of persistent differences and a set of transient differences is determined. The set of persistent differences includes a set intersection of the first and second sets of differences, the set intersection being filtered based on matching non-key values of the differences. The set of transient differences includes a relative complement of the second set of differences in the first set of differences.

  • Publication number: 20170228417
    Abstract: A system that implements a data storage service may store data for database tables in multiple replicated partitions on respective storage nodes. In response to a request to back up a table, the service may export individual partitions of the table from the database and package them to be independently uploaded (e.g., in parallel) to a remote storage system (e.g., a key-value durable storage system). Prior to uploading the exported and packaged partitions to the remote storage system, the service may verify that the exported and packaged partitions can be subsequently restored, which may include unpackaging and/or re-inflating the exported and packaged partitions to create additional unpackaged copies of the partitions, re-importing the additional unpackaged copies of the partitions into the database (e.g., as additional replicas), and/or comparing checksums generated for the exported partitions with checksums generated for the additional unpackaged copies of the partitions.

  • Publication number: 20170226539
    Abstract: Disclosed is a genetically recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae useful for degrading and utilizing kitchen wastes. Genes encoding ?-amylase(AMY), glucoamylase (GA) and acid protease (AP) were introduced into the genetically recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a saccharomyces cerevisiae multi-gene co-expression vector and successfully expressed and secreted. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae so obtained are capable of secreting amylases and protease to degrade the starch and proteins in kitchen wastes to produce carbon and nitrogen sources such as glucose, polypeptides and amino acids, allowing fermentation into ethanol.

  • Publication number: 20170228812
    Abstract: A method and system optimizing source selection of an online order with the lowest fulfillment cost by considering multiple types of parameters, including shipping costs, backlog costs and markdown savings of the order. The method includes obtaining an order from the order retrieval subsystem of the OMS, selecting the candidate sources, and retrieving data from retailers or shipping companies of each selected candidate sources. The system then calculates the costs and savings parameters of the candidate sources from the retrieved data. The system identifies all possible candidate sourcing selections of the order and calculates the total fulfillment cost of each sourcing selection of the order by adding the shipping costs with the backlog costs, and subtracting the markdown savings of all candidate sources in each sourcing selection. The system identifies the optimized sourcing selection of the order with the lowest fulfillment cost and renders the selection to the OMS.
