Abstract: According to one embodiment, a master storage node receives a search query for searching images from a client, where the master storage node is coupled to a number of worker storage nodes over a storage network. The master storage node performs a hash operation on one or more keywords of the search query using a first predetermined hash function, generating a first hash value. A first of the worker storage nodes is identified based on the first hash value. The master storage node redirects the search query to the first worker storage node to allow the first worker storage node service the search query. The first worker storage node is to identify one or more images from a first system memory of the first worker storage node based on the search query and to transmit the one or more images to the client.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for placing sublimation images on cases of electronic devices prints a plurality of separate sublimation images on a sheet of transfer paper at predetermined locations. The periphery of the images is cut but leaves each image attached to the sheet at least at three locations. A corresponding plurality of cases is placed on fixtures in a tray at locations corresponding to the images. The sheet is placed over the tray, aligning each image with a case, after which heat and pressure cause the images to transfer to the cases by sublimation transfer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for of applying a sublimation transfer to a coffee cup having a handle connected at two locations to the cup. A sublimation transfer is placed around the container with a dye image an outer surface of the cup and extending beneath the handle. An elastic clamp wraps around the cup and sublimation transfer and extends beneath the handle to press the dye layer against the cup beneath the handle. The clamp has an elongated opening near one end of the clamp and the opening is placed over the handle to fasten the clamp to the cup. The wrapped cup and sublimation transfer is placed on a conveyor oven for sublimation heating, with the clamp being removed for reuse after the sublimation transfer of the dye layer onto the cup is completed.

Abstract: A deployable interior door trim for an automotive vehicle that separates in the middle section to separate the lower door trim portion from the armrest. The separating door trim permits a pelvis pusher block to engage the occupant of the vehicle during side impact situations without pushing the armrest into the abdomen region of the occupant. An alternative embodiment has the separation area formed as a line extending around a deployable portion of the door trim corresponding to the pelvis pusher block so that the pusher block can pass through the door trim to engage the occupant pelvis area. Preventing excessive abdomen rib deflections on crash dummies will improve performance ratings in IIHS side impact tests without requiring a structural change in the energy absorbing door structure of the vehicle.
