Abstract: Data base performance is improved using write-behind optimization of covering cache. Non-volatile memory data cache includes a full copy of stored data file(s). Data cache and storage writes, checkpoints, and recovery may be decoupled (e.g., with separate writes, checkpoints and recoveries). A covering data cache supports improved performance by supporting database operation during storage delays or outages and/or by supporting reduced I/O operations using aggregate writes of contiguous data pages (e.g., clean and dirty pages) to stored data file(s). Aggregate writes reduce data file fragmentation and reduce the cost of snapshots. Performing write-behind operations in a background process with optimistic concurrency control may support improved database performance, for example, by not interfering with write operations to data cache. Data cache may store (e.g., in metadata) data cache checkpoint information and storage checkpoint information. A stored data file may store storage checkpoint information (e.g.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter, a clip and an extending member. The adapter mounted over an insertion device.

The first jaw includes a keyhole opening. The member coupled to the clip and adapter. The member includes a distal end releasably engaging the opening. The distal end has a width smaller than a width of a first portion of the opening and larger than a second portion of the opening so that, when a portion of the member proximal of the distal end is received within the second portion, the adapter is released from the clip while the member remains coupled to the clip. The member forces the clip open as the clip retracts over the adapter.

Abstract: A system includes an adapter mounted over a distal end of an insertion device and an extending member. A clip mounted over the adapter includes jaws movable to separate from one another and, when the clip is moved off the adapter, to draw toward one another. The first member is releasably coupled to the clip, movably connected to the adapter and includes a clasp releasably coupling the clip to the first member via an engaging portion of one jaw to permit movement of the adapter relative to the clip while the first member remains coupled to the clip, enhancing visualization of the clip. The first member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the adapter so that the clip is forced open as the clip is retracted over the adapter freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.

Abstract: A storage system such as a storage array in a data center calculates per-application power utilization based on monitored IOs. IOs generated by applications that are tolerant of rescheduling may be rescheduled to a time when power is less costly or more available. Storage array power consumption is reduced if all services host applications can tolerate greater IO latency without service level violations. Server power consumption is reduced if all services host applications can tolerate greater IO latency without service level violations. Power consumption by the servers, storage array, or both is reduced if power consumption reaches a predetermined level relative to available power.

Abstract: A system for communicating supervisory information between amplifier nodes in an optical communication network utilizes modulation of an included pump source to superimpose the supervisory information on data signals (typically customer data signals) propagating between the amplifier nodes transmitted customer signals. The modulated pump appears as a modulated envelope on the amplified data signal exiting the amplifier node, and may be recovered by suitable demodulation components located at the second node (i.e., the destined receiver of the supervisory information). The supervisory information may include monitoring messages, provisioning data, protocol updates, etc., and is utilized as an input to an included modulator, which then forms a drive signal for the pump controller.
