Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is stored as discrete events time stamps. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time stamp, a keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.

Abstract: A pathogen detection device is provided. The pathogen detection device may include a pathogen detector circuit configured to detect a target analyte in a patient sample, determine the presence of a pathogen from the target analyte, and generate a detection result including the identity of the pathogen and resistance genes (if any); and a decision support generator circuit configured to generate decision support information for the pathogen by application of user configurable rules to the detection result, wherein each of the configurable rules include a logic expression that indicates the corresponding decision support information of the rule to be included in the detection report.

Abstract: A controller for a data storage device that includes a cache memory and a non-volatile solid state memory is configured to fetch data from the non-volatile solid state memory in response to a read command, conditionally fetch additional data from the non-volatile solid state memory in response to the read command, and then store some or all of the fetched data in the cache memory. The condition for additional data fetch is met when it is determined that a sequence of N (where N is two or more) most recent read commands is requesting data from a successively increasing and consecutive address range. The additional data fetch speeds up subsequent reads, especially when the requested data sizes are relatively small. When the requested data sizes are larger, improvements in read speeds can be achieved if the time between the large reads are well spaced.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory location in a disk drive is utilized to store data residing in a write-cache upon receiving a flush-cache command from a host computer. If a subsequent flush-cache command is not issued within a predetermined time period, any data residing in the write-cache and stored in the non-volatile memory location that has not yet been written to its correct location on disk will be written to its correct location on disk.
