Abstract: A machine-implemented method for controlling transfer of at least one data item from a data cache component, in communication with storage using at least one relatively higher-latency path and at least one relatively lower-latency path, comprises: receiving metadata defining at least a first characteristic of data selected for inspection; responsive to the metadata, seeking a match between said at least first characteristic and a second characteristic of at least one of a plurality of data items in the data cache component; selecting said at least one of the plurality of data items where the at least one of the plurality of data items has the second characteristic matching the first characteristic; and passing the selected one of the plurality of data items from the data cache component using the relatively lower-latency path.

Abstract: A colander configured to adapt to various sized containers. The colander is designed to prevent contact with unclean surfaces thus preventing contamination of food. The colander is designed for “hands-free” use, namely the draining and rinsing of food. A double-walled colander with tapered sidewalls that is capable of straining food in both an upright and an upside down orientation. A stackable, dishwasher safe colander.

Abstract: A apparatus and process for ablating a matrix of high density vias in a flexible substrate. The apparatus is cantilevered on a horizontal shelf from a partition where it can be rigidly supported. A vacuum container reciprocates towards and away from the partition and supports the horizontal shelf by permitting supporting casters to bear on and be supported by the reciprocating container. When the container is away from the partition, servicing of the apparatus as well as the insertion an removal of substrate can occur. When the container is adjoined to the partition, a vacuum can be drawn on the apparatus and processing commenced. A continuous flexible substrate is provided extending in a circuitous path between a supply roll and a take up roll, all interior of the container. The flexible substrate is maintained under constant tension and incrementally advanced. The substrate is incrementally advanced and stopped, passing across a table.
