Abstract: A method of disinfecting a readout device having a reader unit that reads an imaging medium, the method comprising: identifying an absence of the imaging medium from the inside of the readout device; and emitting, from a disinfecting element, radiation capable of destroying disease carriers onto an the interior of the readout device when the imaging medium is absent from inside the readout device.

Abstract: There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for assigning a workspace. The system receives one or more reservation request for the workspace, associated with one or more facilities including one or more workspace areas. Each workspace area includes one or more workspaces. The system receives inputs including one or more of: weather condition data, occupancy rates data, and date data, associated with the one or more facilities. The system predicts an energy cost for each workspace area. The system determines a user desirability value for the each workspace area. The system determines a minimum cost for operating the one or more facilities, which satisfies the received reservation request. The system selects one or more workspace area in the one or more facilities according to the determined minimum cost and the received reservation request. The selected workspace area has maximum user desirability values.

Abstract: A method is used in applying XAM processes. A set of content is received via any of a file system interface, a block based interface, an object based interface to an object addressable data storage system. An object derived from the set of content and having an object identifier is stored in the object addressable data storage system. The object is made available for retrieval via the object based interface using the object identifier.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for treating a textile material with a crosslinkable high density polyethylene based elastomer compound, such treated material for use in reinforced elastomeric articles. In one embodiment, a crosslinkable high density polyethylene based elastomer compound is applied in particle form to a surface of a textile material having a plurality of interstices. The particles are of a size no greater than about 35 mesh and include a peroxide curing agent. Next, the particles are melted so as to impregnate the interstices of the textile material with the compound. Then, the compound is crosslinked in-situ via the peroxide curing agent. In one example, the rubber compound includes about 80 parts per hundred cross-linkable material (phcm) to 100 phcm crosslinkable high density polyethylene. The resulting textile material may be used as a facing fabric, e.g., in a reinforced elastomeric article, such as a toothed power transmission belt.

Abstract: A method is used in controlling access to XAM metadata. An object derived from a set of content is stored in an object addressable data storage system. The object has an object identifier. Storage system specific metadata is added to the object. The storage system specific metadata is accessible when the object is retrieved using the object identifier. Based on sub-object access control, a retrieving application is allowed to have access to only a subset of the object.

Abstract: A method and system for use in managing data objects is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method and system comprises based on at least one policy set, determining that a data object stored on a first device is eligible for mobile enablement and a level of mobile enablement for the data object; mobile enabling the data object, wherein mobile enabling the data object comprises causing a mobile data storage tier associated with the first device to include the data object; and providing access to the data object to a second device, wherein access is defined by the level of mobile enablement.

Abstract: The allocation of virtual memory within a virtual machine based upon the previous mapping of virtual memory blocks to physical memory blocks is optimized. Virtual memory blocks that have been mapped to a corresponding physical memory block over virtual memory blocks that are unmapped when fulfilling an allocation request can be reallocated preferentially.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for automating the layout of a space layout based upon organization requirements and space constraints. An integrated workplace management system (IWMS) receives a set of organization structure data associated with an organization and a building information model (BIM) containing a set of space constraint data associated with a target space. The set of organization structure data and the set of space constraint data are then processed by the IWMS to automatically generate a space layout corresponding to the target space.

Abstract: X-ray imaging systems and methods utilize an imaging apparatus comprising an emitter emitting X-rays through an object and a receiver receiving the X-rays. A control circuit controls the emitter and processes the X-rays received by the receiver to generate X-ray images of the object. The control circuit controls a display to display an initial view of the object, the display of the initial view being modifiable by a user; controls the imaging apparatus to generate an X-ray positioning image of the object based upon a user modification of the display of the initial view; controls the display to display the positioning image, the display of the positioning image being modifiable by a user; and controls the imaging apparatus to generate an X-ray image of the object based upon a user modification of the display of the positioning image.
