Abstract: As part of a deduplication process, chunks are produced from data. The chunks are assigned to locations in a data store, where the assignments are such that a number of locations referenced is capped according to at least one predefined parameter.

Abstract: Input data is divided into multiple segments that are processed by processing elements of a computer. The processing of the segments produces a plurality of tentative sets of chunks. The plurality of tentative sets of chunks are stitched together to produce an output set of chunks.

Abstract: Various novel roofing brackets and roofing systems are disclosed. A first embodiment can be considered a roofing bracket to be coupled to a vertical post and a horizontal purlin of a roofing system whereby the horizontal purlin is positioned to support roof panels at a requisite pitch. The roofing bracket includes a reference brace and a clip. The reference brace includes a first brace face positioned planarly parallel with the vertical post and a second brace face extending at an angle angle from the first brace face and positioned planarly parallel with the vertical post. The clip includes a first clip face positioned to be fastened generally flush with the horizontal purlin and a second clip face extending at an angle from the first clip face and positioned to be fastened planarly parallel with the vertical post. The second clip face is coupled to the first brace face at a pivot point such that the clip can be rotated a particular angle relative to the reference brace.

Abstract: A hydrostatic power train includes a hydraulic pump, which is connected, via a first main pipe and a second main pipe, to a first hydromotor unit driving a front axle and to a second hydromotor unit driving a rear axle. The first and second hydromotor units can be adjusted in terms of their displacement via a first and second variation device. A direction of travel is defined as forward movement (F) or reverse movement (R) by a position of an operating lever. The first and the second variation devices are controlled by a control valve which takes up a first control position upon a forward movement (F) determined by the position of the operating ever and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the position of the operating lever and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the operating lever.

Abstract: The invention concerns a control for a hydrostatic power train (1) comprising a hydraulic pump (2) which is connected, via a first main pipe and a second main pipe (7, 8), to a first hydromotor unit (5, 5?) driving a front axle and to a second hydromotor unit (6, 6?) driving a rear axle. The first and second hydromotor units (5, 5?, 6, 6?) can be adjusted in terms of their displacement via a first and a second variation device (30, 31, 30?, 31?) respectively. A direction of travel is defined as forward movement (F) or reverse movement (R) by a position of an operating lever (37). The first and the second variation devices (30, 31, 30?, 31?) are controlled by a control valve (32, 32?) which takes up a first control position upon a forward movement (F) determined by the position of the operating lever (37) and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the operating lever (37).

Abstract: A drive mechanism is disclosed which includes a hydraulic pump whereby at least two hydraulic engines may be supplied with pressure medium. The drive mechanism in accordance with the invention has on the meter-in side or on the meter-out side of each hydraulic engine a variable hydraulic resistor that is biased into a basic position of minimum open cross-section and may be subjected to a control pressure in a direction of increased open cross-section. This control pressure is dependent on the pressure on the meter-in side or on the meter-out side of the hydraulic engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic traveling mechanism (1) which comprises a hydraulic pump (4), a first hydraulic engine (8) that is linked with the hydraulic pump (4) via a hydraulic work circuit (2) and that drives a first drive train (17). The traveling mechanism further comprises a second hydraulic engine (10) that is linked with the hydraulic pump (4) via a hydraulic work circuit (2) and that drives a second drive train (19). The inventive traveling mechanism is also provided with a third hydraulic engine (23) that is coupled with the first drive train (17) and a fourth hydraulic engine (24) that is coupled with the second drive train (19). The third hydraulic engine (23) and the fourth hydraulic engine (24) are linked with each other via a hydraulic secondary circuit (3) that is independent of the work circuit (2).

Abstract: A driver circuit for use in testing either ECL (emitter-coupled logic) or TTL (transistor-transistor logic) devices. The circuit has a pair of variable reference voltages (V.sub.H,V.sub.L) for determining the logic levels 0 and 1. The circuit also has two termination networks (8,9) for ECL and TTL, which are selectively connected to the output of the driver circuit according to the value of one of the reference voltages (V.sub.L). Preferably the circuit is formed as a hybrid network in which transistors from the same semiconductor slice are mounted on the same ceramic substrate.
