  • Publication number: 20260110502
    Abstract: A hinged cooler includes an enclosure in which a cooling fluid flows, a first heat exchanger disposed inside the enclosure for cooling a first fluid by the cooling fluid, a second heat exchanger disposed inside the enclosure for cooling a second fluid by the cooling fluid, and a hinge located between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger rotates 2024/085909 around the hinge, in a first direction, from a first closed position that covers the enclosure to a first open position in which the first heat exchanger moves to an outside of the enclosure. The second heat exchanger rotates around the hinge, in a second direction opposite to the first direction, from a second closed position that covers the enclosure to a second open position in which the second heat exchanger moves to the outside of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 11172017
    Abstract: A method is performed by a first front-end node, for supporting data communication. The first front-end node operates in a communications network comprising a pool of front-end nodes for providing access to a database. The pool of front-end nodes includes the first front-end node. The first front-end node receives, from a load balancer node, a first request for data from the database, from a client node. The first front-end node provides, to the client node, a first response to the received first request, the first response including a first indication indicating that the first front-end node is a preferred node for providing a subsequent response to a subsequent request for data from the client node. The subsequent response is allowed to originate from another front-end node in the pool of front-end nodes, different than the preferred node.

  • Patent number: 9354751
    Abstract: An input device is disclosed that can improve input detection associated with sensor elements that exhibit a weaker response at the lower end of their dynamic range than their counterparts. This can be advantageous when implementing input reporting rules that rely on a sufficient response at the lower end of a sensor element's dynamic range. The input device can compensate for a weak sensor element at the low end of its dynamic range by increasing its sensitivity in certain situations, such as when an adjacent sensor provides a strong input signal, or after the weak sensor element provides a signal level exceeding a noise threshold for example. The sensitivity of the weak sensor element can be increased in a variety of ways, such as by reducing a noise threshold associated with the sensor element or boosting a signal level associated with the sensor element for example.

  • Patent number: 8832311
    Abstract: A method is provided for electronically masking the geographic location of a client device in a communication network comprising the following steps: (a) mapping a communication from a first diverter node at a first location to a second diverter node at a second location, and (b) causing the communication to appear as originating from a client device at the second location when the communication is received by a destination device, wherein the second location is different from the first location. Also provided is a device that may be used to implement such a method.

  • Publication number: 20050183068
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for correlating trace events to facilitate analysis based on how the trace events are related. Relationship information that defines relationships between logical operations is maintained within a correlation identifier stack. A correlation identifier that marks the occurrence of a logical operation is obtained for executing software and stored in the correlation identifier stack. A trace event is generated that comprises both the correlation identifier stack and an initial event payload to describe the runtime behavior of the executing software. The trace event is stored to a trace log for subsequent analysis of the executing software based on the logical operation relationship information in the correlation identifier stack and the initial correlation identifier that marks the occurrence of the logical operation. Upon obtaining an indication that the logical operation has ended, the correlation identifier is removed from the correlation identifier stack.

  • Patent number: 6905613
    Abstract: A method for using an organic dielectric as a sacrificial layer for forming suspended or otherwise spaced structures. The use of an organic dielectric has a number of advantages, including allowing use of an organic solvent or etch to remove the sacrificial layer. Organic solvents only remove organic materials, and thus do not affect or otherwise damage non-organic layers such as metal layers. This may reduce or eliminate the need for the rinsing and drying steps often associated with the use of acidic etchants such as Hydrofluoric Acid.

  • Publication number: 20050083960
    Abstract: A network element with network element storage and independent intelligence may be configured to provide temporary mass storage to facilitate the transfer of large files across an optical network. The network element may also be provided with intelligence to enable the network element to maintain a higher level understanding of the data flows. Using network element storage enables network elements involved in data transmission across the network to temporarily store data being transferred on the network. This allows parcels of data to be transmitted part way through the network when a complete path through the network is not available. It also allows data to be aggregated at strategic locations on the network, such as at the location of a transmission bandwidth mismatch, to enable the data to be transmitted over the high capacity optical resource at a higher rate, thus more efficiently utilizing the bandwidth on the higher bandwidth resource.
