Each processing core resource in the plurality of processing core resources generates a subset of the plurality of segments by identifying a proper subset of the set of records based on having cluster key values included in a corresponding one of the plurality of key space sub-intervals, and by generating the subset of the plurality of segments to include the proper subset of the set of records.

Abstract: A magnetic pouch clamp assembly includes a first and second clamping arms and a magnet assembly. The first clamping arms have respective, opposed first and second clamping surfaces. The second clamp arm is slidably connected to the first clamping arm such that the first and second clamping arms are movable between open and closed positions, with the first and second clamping surfaces being engaged in the closed position. The magnet assembly includes a first magnet having a first polarity carried by the first clamping arm and a second magnet having a second polarity carried by the second clamping arm, the first and second polarities being oriented such that a closing attractive force therebetween holds the first and second clamping surfaces in the closed position. A third magnet can be used to hold the clamping surfaces in the open position or to enhance closing forces.

Abstract: A method includes generating a plurality of pages from a plurality of records received from a plurality of data sources. Deduplication of the plurality of pages is facilitated based on a plurality of page metadata of the plurality of pages based on, for the each page of the plurality of pages. A filtered set of potentially-intersecting pages is identified for each given page as a proper subset of the plurality of pages stored in the page storage system based on first comparison parameters, and an intersecting set of pages that include a row number intersection with the given page is identified as a proper subset of the filtered set of potentially-intersecting pages based on second comparison parameters. Records with records with row numbers included in row number intersections with other pages in the intersecting set of pages are removed from the each page.

Abstract: A load distributing and absorbing system that lies below a barrier layer that is exposed to percussive and/or point-applied forces. The load distributing and absorbing system has one or more load distributing and absorbing tiles. At least some of the tiles have an underlayment infrastructure positioned below a barrier layer. The underlayment infrastructure includes one or more hat-shaped absorbing members. Each has a ceiling primarily for load distribution and a curvilinear wall primarily for load absorption extending from the ceiling. A transition feature is provided to smoothly graduate from one height and type of load distributing and absorbing tile to a load distributing and absorbing tile of another type and height. He system distributes and absorbs forces applied to the barrier layer over a broad area when applied either on a seam between adjacent tiles or within a tile.

Abstract: A record processing and storage system is operable to receive a plurality of row data that each indicate a batch number.

Abstract: Address range memory mirroring in a computer system, and related methods and computer-readable media. The computer system includes one or more memory mirror agents that are each configured to be programmed to mirror write data of a write request to a memory address mapped to the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent is configured to mirror write data to a redundant memory space in memory if the write memory address is within a programmed memory space to be mirrored by the memory mirror agent. The memory mirror agent can be programmed to perform memory mirroring based on specific address ranges to provide flexibility in controlling and changing the exact memory space of the memory system to be mirrored. If an error is detected in read data in response to a memory read request, the memory mirror agent can retrieve the stored redundant data to maintain data integrity.
