  • Patent number: 12320836
    Abstract: In an insulation inspection method for detecting creeping discharge that occurs in a coil in an armature, a predetermined impulse voltage is applied to the coil, and an electrical current value of a current that flows to a current detector that is connected to the coil is detected. The detected electrical current value is analyzed to acquire a relationship between a frequency and an electrical current value spectrum in the detected electrical current value. Based on the acquired relationship, a total sum of electrical current value spectrum areas in a high-frequency band is calculated as a high-frequency spectrum area. The high-frequency band differs from a predetermined low-frequency band in which partial discharge that occurs in a portion of a thin coating of the wire configuring the coil can be detected. Based on a magnitude of the calculated high-frequency spectrum area, creeping discharge that occurs in the coil is detected.

  • Patent number: 12218823
    Abstract: An object is to provide a network device and the like that enable a first network that determines a traffic communication route using the Ethernet ring protocol and a second network that determines a traffic communication route by transmitting/receiving a control frame related to the traffic communication route within the network to be connected in a redundant configuration. When the network device according to the present invention has transitioned to a state in which there is no interface that can communicate with the first network and there is an interface that can communicate with the second network, it transitions to a standby state and further transmits information indicating that communication is impossible to the second network, and when there is an interface that can communicate with the first network and there is no interface that can communicate with the second network, it transitions to the standby state and further transmits communication route change information to the first network.

  • Patent number: 12088511
    Abstract: An object is to provide a communication system, a communication method, a transmission-side switching device, a reception-side switching device, and a program that can carry out network switching of a plurality of L2NWs with a short communication disconnection time without limiting topology. A transmission-side accommodation SW duplicates a frame received from a transmission-side user device and transfers the frame to a plurality of L2NWs to which the transmission-side accommodation SW is connected. When receiving a frame from any one of the plurality of L2NWs to which a reception-side accommodation SW is connected, the reception-side accommodation SW transfers, to a reception-side user device, only a frame from one L2NW allowed to transfer a frame to an access accommodation port and discards frames from the other L2NWs. At a switching time of the L2NWs, the reception-side accommodation SW changes the L2NW allowed to transmit a frame to the access accommodation port.

  • Patent number: 11971869
    Abstract: A shared-nothing database system is provided in which parallelism and workload balancing are increased by assigning the rows of each table to “slices”, and storing multiple copies (“duplicas”) of each slice across the persistent storage of multiple nodes of the shared-nothing database system. When the data for a table is distributed among the nodes of a shared-nothing system in this manner, requests to read data from a particular row of the table may be handled by any node that stores a duplica of the slice to which the row is assigned. For each slice, a single duplica of the slice is designated as the “primary duplica”. All DML operations (e.g. inserts, deletes, updates, etc.) that target a particular row of the table are performed by the node that has the primary duplica of the slice to which the particular row is assigned. The changes made by the DML operations are then propagated from the primary duplica to the other duplicas (“secondary duplicas”) of the same slice.

  • Patent number: 11966356
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency of probing operations of remotely located linear hash tables are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a request to perform a probing operation on a remotely located linear hash table based on a key value. Prior to performing the probing operation, the system dynamically predicts a number of slots for a single read of the linear hash table to minimize total cost for an average probing operation. The system determines a hash value based on the key value and determines a slot of the linear hash table to which the hash value corresponds. After predicting the number of slots, the system issues an RDMA request to perform a read of the predicted number of slots from the linear hash table starting at the slot to which the hash value corresponds.

  • Patent number: 11768716
    Abstract: In example implementations, a method include receiving a request for a lock in a Mellor-Crummey Scott (MCS) lock protocol from a guest user that is context free (e.g., a process that does not bring a queue node). The lock determines that it contains a null value. The lock is granted to the guest user. A pi value is received from the guest user to store in the lock. The pi value notifies subsequent users that the guest user has the lock.

  • Patent number: 11709784
    Abstract: Techniques are described for offloading remote direct memory operations (RDMOs) to “execution candidates”. The execution candidates may be any hardware capable of performing the offloaded operation. Thus, the execution candidates may be network interface controllers, specialized co-processors, FPGAs, etc. The execution candidates may be on a machine that is remote from the processor that is offloading the operation, or may be on the same machine as the processor that is offloading the operation. Details for certain specific RDMOs, which are particularly useful in online transaction processing (OLTP) and hybrid transactional/analytical (HTAP) workloads, are provided.
