The upper and/or lower boundary defines a shape having two lobes, each with an outer edge with a convex profile, and a connecting portion extending between the lobes, such that the connecting portion is defined by two outer edges extending between the outer edges of the lobes, wherein at least one of the outer edges of the connecting portion has a concave outer profile.

Abstract: Prioritizing virtual volumes to take offline in a thin provisioning system with garbage collection. The method categorizes virtual volumes based on garbage collection properties of their write behavior and adds metadata indicating a category of a virtual volume. The method schedules virtual volumes to be taken offline by predicting virtual volume space utilization of active virtual volumes for a defined time period in combination with estimated garbage collection in that period to determine a need to take virtual volumes offline. The method selects virtual volumes to take offline by their category to ensure that the virtual volumes producing the most garbage collection unfriendly workloads are taken offline first.

Abstract: Short Tandem Repeats are currently used by law enforcement and others, for example, for the identification of individuals by DNA matching. A method is described herein that uses WPD to classify and identify repeating sequences in nucleotide sequences from the position and frequency information contained within nucleotide sequences. This decomposition allows for the quick classification of nucleotide sequences (i.e., reads) into two different classes, including, for example, one class that contains sequencer reads that contain a repeat motif with non-repeat sequence on either flank, and another class that contains sequencer reads that do not contain any repeat sequence.

Abstract: A golf club head includes a metallic section, a polymeric section, and an adhesive material. The metallic section defines an opening and the polymeric section extends over the opening. The adhesive material is disposed between the metallic section and the polymeric section to form an adhesive joint therebetween. The adhesive joint has an adhesive retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section when the adhesive material is at least partially cured. The metallic section and the polymeric section are also mechanically engaged with one another to form a mechanical joint therebetween having a mechanical retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section. The adhesive retaining strength of the adhesive joint, alone, is greater than the mechanical retaining strength of the mechanical joint, alone, only when the adhesive material is at least partially cured.

Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for redundantly storing product data for an electronic component on an external device. Aspects include determining that product data stored in a primary storage device is corrupted and determining whether the product data is available on the external device that is in communication with the electronic component. Based on a determination that the product data stored in the primary storage device is corrupted and that the product data is available on the external device, aspects include obtaining product data from the external device to continue operation of the electronic component.

Abstract: A storage drive array with available storage space for user data with storage capacity in the array allocated to distributed spare space. The distributed spare space spreads portions of a spare drive across multiple storage drives in the array. By monitoring the amount of spare space available in the array, a determination may be whether the amount of spare space falls below a threshold number of drives. If there is un-used space in the available storage space which is greater than one drive of space, a drive of space to spare space may be dynamically re-allocated in a distributed pattern across the drives of the array.

Abstract: Golf club heads include at least one part having a side wall extending completely around the golf club head, wherein the side wall ends at an edge (a free end) that defines an open side of the part. An interior surface of this side wall has a draft angle of ?1° or more as it extends to its edge. In some club heads, the interior surface of at least one club head part will be shaped so that the interior surface does not converge as the side wall of that part extends to its edge. For some club head parts, the planar cross sectional area defined inside the interior surface of the part will either stay the same or get larger as one moves to the part edge. By avoiding or limiting features of negative draft angles, converging interior surfaces, and/or smaller cross sectional areas on interior surfaces of a part, manufacturing and tooling may be simplified.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can calibrate media playback channels for presenting media content through a media system by determining the media propagation latency through the media system. For example, the computing device can send calibration content (e.g., audio data, video data, etc.) to various playback devices (e.g., playback channels) of the media system and record a timestamp indicating when the calibration content was sent. When the playback devices present the calibration content, a sensor device (e.g., remote control device, smartphone, etc.) can detect the presentation of the calibration content. The sensor device can send calibration data (e.g., media samples that may include the calibration content and/or a timestamp indicating when the media sample was detected by the sensor device) to the computing device. The computing device can determine the propagation latency (e.g., presentation delay) based on the calibration data received from the sensor device.

Abstract: A ball striking device, such as a golf club, includes a head that includes a face having a ball striking surface configured for striking a ball and a body connected to the face and extending rearward from the face. A face member formed primarily of a metallic material forms the face, and a body member is connected to the face member and extends rearward from the face member to form at least a portion of the body. The body member is formed at least partially of a polymer material, and has a doped portion containing a doping material dispersed within the polymer material. The doping material may have a different density than the polymer material, such that the doped portion has a different density than the portions of the body member not containing the doping material. A co-molding method may be used to form the ball striking device.
