Abstract: An add-in card allocates memory from a host computer. An option ROM on the add-in card includes a first interrupt handler for handling an interrupt for resetting a mass storage device that reads a system address map, modifies the system address map by adding an entry for an amount of host memory to be allocated to the add-in card, and stores the modified system address map as a destination system address map. The first interrupt handler also changes the address of an interrupt handler for providing the system address map to the address of a second interrupt handler also stored in the option ROM of the add-in card. When an interrupt is generated that requests the system address map, the second interrupt handler reads the destination system address map, which includes a memory allocation for the add-in card, and provides the destination system address map to the requestor.

Abstract: A method for wastewater treatment in a bioreactor, comprises recycling organic sludge in the bioreactor to supply carbon sources for removing nitrogen and phosphor and increase organic loading of the reactor, and adjusting operational parameters for the bioreactor to form facultative-anaerobic environment or anaerobic environment in the bioreactor. By following the method of the present invention, recycling sludge and simultaneously removing nitrogen and phosphor are completed such that the treatment processes for wastewater disposal are simplified; the sludge is recycled as carbon sources in the bioreactor such that saving resources is realized and the carbon emission into atmosphere is reduced; and zero-amount sludge is discharged such that harm from secondary pollution is avoided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for executing a decompressed portion of an option memory in a shadow memory. An area of system memory is allocated and a portion of the option memory is decompressed using the allocated area. The decompressed portion is stored in the shadow memory so the decompressed portion can be executed in shadow memory.

Abstract: A software-based RAID system is provided that enables configuration conflicts to be detected and resolved between a PD that is logically present but physically missing, and a PD that is physically and logically present. In accordance with the invention, a determination is made as to whether such a configuration conflict exists, and if so, the logically-present, but physically missing, reference identifier associated with the PD is remapped to a port number that currently is not in use.
