Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for multi-layer caching of data. An example method commences with creating a data structure on top of an information retrieval library. The data structure is designed to access data associated with the information retrieval library through a local index. The method includes creating a plurality of ordered cache layers for the data accessed via the local index. The plurality of ordered cache layers are ordered based on frequency of access and a last layer is used to access the data over a network. The method then continues with receiving a search query. The method further includes determining that the search query is for the data associated with the last layer. The method further continues with executing, using the local index, the search query locally to retrieve a matching document from the data associated with the last layer remotely.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a search system includes an indexing tier and a search tier. The indexing tier is configured to generate an index structure from a plurality of documents, store the index structure in a local storage device, and transmit the index structure to an external object store, the external object store configured to store the index structure. The search tier is configured to receive a search query from a client device and communicate with the external object store or the indexing tier to retrieve at least a portion of the index structure to search data based on the search query.

Abstract: Methods and systems for shard optimized database queries using parameter-based indexes are provided. Exemplary methods include: receiving a database query that includes an index parameter and an index parameter range. A parameter table is accessed that contains an association between the parameter and parameter range and a shard identifier. Based on the parameter type and the range identified in the query, the relevant shards are identified, and the database query is limited to processing these shards.

Abstract: An automated system for allocation of resources in a cluster configured to run a search engine is disclosed. At least one master node includes a processing system. The processing system is configured to analyze the cluster based on measurements of different parameters. The results of the analysis can be used to allocate or reallocate the shards, allocate or reconfigure the workload portions assigned to the shards, and allocate or reconfigure the shards selectively to maintain high performance. Periodic analyses can predict future behavior, and reconciliations toward a target allocation can occur regularly to maximize system efficiency and performance.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for peer recovery from remote storage. An example method includes storing, to a remote storage, a data snapshot of a plurality of nodes of a cluster, determining, by the cluster, that a piece of data stored on a first node of the cluster needs to be copied to a second node of the cluster, and in response to the determination, causing, by the cluster, the second node to download a copy of the piece of data from the data snapshot in the remote storage, determining, by the cluster, that the piece of data stored on the first node differs from the copy of the piece of data stored on the data snapshot, and in response to the determination, causing copying of the piece of data directly from the first node to the second node.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for obtaining at least one of fucoidan and laminarin from live, harvested seaweed, wherein the process comprises the steps of: (i) harvesting seaweed comprising fucoidan and laminarin to obtain live, harvested seaweed, wherein the live, harvested seaweed exudes to form an exudate solution; (ii) collecting the exudate solution from the live, harvested seaweed, wherein the fucoidan and laminarin are dissolved in the exudate solution; and (iii) separating the at least one of fucoidan or laminarin from the exudate solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to delivery of steam produced by an electrical power generation plant to a lignocellulosic biomass refinery.

Abstract: Power plant (10) for the generation of electrical power using wind power or wind energy, comprising a plurality of windmills (12, 14, 16) each comprising a mill tower, a rotor (18, 20, 22) with a shaft (32) being rotatably journalled in said mill tower, a fluid pressure generator (34) mounted in said mill tower and being coupled to and driven by said shaft for delivering pressurised fluid to a pressure channel (36). A pressure accumulating reservoir (42) communicates with said pressure channels for receiving said pressurised fluid therefrom, and a pressure driven electrical power generator (48) connected to said pressure accumulating reservoir is driven by said pressurised fluid for generation of electrical power. Also disclosed are a windmill for use in such a powerplant and a method of producing electrical power from wind energy.

Abstract: Hearing aid system for the in-situ fitting of hearing aids, said system comprising a separate control device, and a least one hearing aid, adapted for communication with each other, said hearing aid comprising at least one microphone, a signal processor for generating an output signal to a receiver, and means for receiving control signals form the control device. During the in-situ fitting the control device is in communication with said hearing aid for the activation of generation of test signals, which test signals are delivered to said receiver and emitted therefrom as acoustic test signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a person suffering from suicidal ideation comprising administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of escitalopram or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A rotatable drum (1) carries, and is driven by, a gear rim (3), with bevel toothing (12), via a flexible frustoconical casing (5) which accommodates distortions of the drum and absorbs axial loading resulting from the bevel toothing. Flexing of the gear rim is resisted on one side by the stiffness of the casing (5) and on the other side by a stiffening ring (9).
