  • Patent number: 10380023
    Abstract: Cache management. It is determined that a cache operation relating to the transfer of data between a cache memory and a data storage system is required. A state of a utilization model is received, the utilization model including requirements for utilization of resources of the data storage system over a time period, and the state indicating a cost of resource utilization associated with cache operations in the current time period. It is determined whether to perform the cache operation, based on the utilization requirements and the state of a utilization model. If the cache operation is not to be performed, and if the cache operation is a write operation, it is determined whether the cache memory is full. If so, the cache operation is managed according to an emergency cache management process; if not, the data associated with the cache operation is maintained in the cache memory.

    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.

  • Publication number: 20190212944
    Abstract: A method and a computer system for maintaining synchronization between primary data stored in a primary volume and secondary data stored in a secondary volume. The primary volume and the secondary volume having respective address spaces divided into address blocks, each comprising a range of addresses. The computer system determines a start condition in which the secondary data has been checked as being a mirror of the primary data, transmits writes of the primary data that have occurred since the start condition to the secondary volume, and maintains an incremental record of current differences between the primary and secondary volumes on a per address block basis. The computer system operates a garbage collection algorithm on the secondary volume to clean up the address space.

  • Patent number: 10346559
    Abstract: In general, aspects of this invention relate to golf clubs or golf club components incorporating adjustment members that permit ready adjustability of golf club parameters and/or interchangeability of golf club components to change a golf club configuration, and methods for providing golf clubs. According to aspects of this invention, an adjustment member may be utilized to allow the adjustability of a golf club parameter to change a golf club configuration, while ensuring there is substantially no change to other club or club head variables, parameters or characteristics. According to another aspect of this invention, an adjustment member may be utilized to allow the adjustability of two golf club parameters independently to change a golf club configuration, while ensuring there is substantially no change to other club or club head variables, parameters or characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10318114
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to manage playlist-only media items for a user's media library. For example, when a user adds a media item to a playlist, the user can be presented with an option to add the media item to the playlist as a playlist-only media item. When the user selects to add the media item to the playlist as a playlist-only media item, the computing device can update media metadata associated with the user's media library with data indicating that the media item is a playlist-only media item. When the computing device performs operations (e.g., displaying, searching, etc.) on the user's media library, the computing device can exclude the playlist-only media items from the operations. The computing device can change the playlist-only settings for a media item to add and/or remove a media item from the user's media library.
