  • Patent number: 9627371
    Abstract: An IC includes logic cells, selected from a standard cell library, and fill cells, configured for compatibility with the standard logic cells. The fill cells contain structures configured to obtain in-line data via non-contact electrical measurements (“NCEM”). The IC includes such NCEM-enabled fill cells configured to enable detection and/or measurement of a variety of open-circuit and short-circuit failure modes, including at least one via-open-related failure mode, one GATE-short-related failure mode, one GATECNT-short-related failure mode, and one AA-short-related failure mode.

  • Patent number: 9594635
    Abstract: Implementations claimed and described herein provide systems and methods for the efficient rebuilding of a failed storage device through sequential resilvering. In one implementation, blocks for resilvering are discovered. The blocks correspond to input/output requests not successfully completed for a failed storage device. A coarse grained sorting of the blocks is performed based on a block location of each of the blocks on the failed storage device. The block locations of the blocks are stored in memory according to the coarse grained sorting. A fine grained sorting of the blocks is performed based on the coarse grained sorting of the blocks. The blocks are sequentially resilvered based on the fine grained sorting.

  • Patent number: 9445670
    Abstract: A storage rack may include a plurality of sections for holding a respective plurality of items. A first section may include, for example, a first vertical support, a second vertical support substantially parallel to the first vertical support, and a first set of horizontal supports substantially perpendicular to the first vertical support and the second vertical support. The first set of horizontal supports may include a first horizontal support disposed at a first height and a first depth in the first vertical support, and a second horizontal support disposed at the first height and the first depth in the second vertical support. The first horizontal support may extend from an inner wall of the first vertical support towards the second vertical support for a distance that is less than half of the distance between the first vertical support and the second vertical support.

  • Publication number: 20140115293
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure disclose systems and methods for managing space in storage devices. In various aspects, the disclosure is directed to providing more efficient method for managing free space in the storage system, and related apparatus and methods. In particular, the system provides for freeing blocks of memory that are no longer being used based on the information stored in a file system. More specifically, the system allows for reclaiming of large segments of free blocks at one time by providing information on aggregated blocks that were being freed to the storage devices.

  • Publication number: 20070274877
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas treatment apparatus (1) for treating a gas stream. The gas treatment apparatus (1) comprising addition means (14) for adding a reducing agent (12) to a gas stream passing through the apparatus (1), a guide chamber (8), a mixing conduit (18) and a catalytic treatment chamber (16) containing a catalytic treatment element (20). The apparatus (1) is arranged such that gas must pass through the mixing conduit (18) to pass from the guide chamber (8) to the catalytic treatment chamber (16). The mixing conduit (18) includes an outer wall (22) surrounding a mixing axis (20) within the guide chamber (8). The outer wall (22) including at least one aperture (30) through which a gas can enter the mixing conduit (18) from the guide chamber (8).

  • Publication number: 20070241594
    Abstract: An anti-whiplash device attaches to existing vehicle head restraints and provides an elastic pocket or cavity in which impact absorbing pads are placed. The pads may be pre-sized so that the thickness of the additional impact absorbing material can be easily determined. The use of the impact absorbing pads reduces the distance from the head of a vehicle driver or passenger to the head restraint while in a normal driving or riding position so that the driver's or passenger's head does not travel a significant distance before being cushioned by the head restraint in the event of an accident.

  • Publication number: 20070012465
    Abstract: A support structure for an implement lift cylinder on an earth-working machine. The support structure includes first and second implement lift cylinder supports. The first implement lift cylinder support mounts to the work machine and the second implement lift cylinder support rotatably connects thereto about a first axis of rotation. The second implement lift cylinder support receives the implement lift cylinder and allows rotational movement thereof about a second axis of rotation. The first and second axes are located within a single plane. The dual axes provide stability and adjustability of the implement lift cylinder for different angle configurations of a work implement, such as an earth-working blade.

  • Patent number: 7055386
    Abstract: A dial assembly with magnetic calibration feature adapted for use as part of a gauge assembly for measuring fluid levels in cryogenic applications is disclosed. The dial assembly includes a base, a pivot pin extending from the base, a pointer assembly pivotally mounted on the pivot pin, and a calibration magnet with adjustment feature. The pointer assembly includes a pointer coupled with a pointer magnet. The calibration magnet with adjustment feature is magnetically coupled to the pointer magnet and adapted to adjust a position of the pointer magnet and therefore the pointer relative to volume indicia on a dial face of the dial assembly. In operation, a movement of the calibration magnet induces a movement in the pointer magnet. The adjustment feature is coupled to the calibration magnet such that it is manipulatable even when the dial assembly is mounted on a gauge head of a gauge assembly installed on a vessel.
