  • Publication number: 20240191491
    Abstract: A monolithic drain body including a base wall defining an outlet and a periphery, a side wall extending from the periphery of the base wall to produce an open end opposite the base wall, and a ledge formed into the side wall and extending inwardly therefrom to at least partially enclose a first volume between the ledge, the side wall, and the base wall.

  • Publication number: 20220312773
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a biologically pure culture of Bacillus spp. strain NRRL B-67746 and mutants of that strain having all the identifying characteristics of the strain. The present invention also provides a method of promoting plant growth, wherein the method comprises applying such strain or mutants to the plant, to a part of the plant and/or to a locus of the plant.

  • Patent number: 10031806
    Abstract: A controller device is configured to communicate with storage nodes of a distributed storage system (DSS) in which erasure codes are used to encode source data onto the storage nodes and ranks of matrices containing coding coefficients associated with the erasure codes indicate whether repairs of failed storage nodes of the DSS are feasible. A decomposition structure is generated to be used as a guide for transforming the matrices to upper triangle form (UTF) for use in computing the ranks of the matrices. While the DSS is operating to perform repairs of the failed storage nodes, as part of determining feasible repair strategies that will preserve subsequent repairs of failed storage nodes, the ranks of the matrices are computed by transforming the matrices to UTF using operations on the submatrices according to the decomposition structure.

  • Patent number: 8769591
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a buffering server transfers a dynamic burst transfer of data encoded using an inter-coded compression technique. The dynamic burst transfer is timed so that an initial transfer rate is reduced to a remaining transfer rate at the same time or before a decoding endpoint joins a corresponding data stream. The decoding endpoint merges the video stream and the dynamic burst transfer to decode and quickly reconstruct a displayable video frame.

  • Publication number: 20100254462
    Abstract: Optimizations for rapid channel changes may be provided. In response to a channel change request, rate shaping may be used to provide a unicast packet stream at a first transmission rate for a first time interval before reducing the rate of the unicast packet stream to a lower transmission rate for a second time interval. During the second time interval, a multicast packet stream may be joined and the video frames associated with the unicast packet stream, which may lag behind the multicast packet stream, and the multicast packet stream may be synchronized.

  • Patent number: 7675258
    Abstract: A machine includes an operator seat and an armrest adjacent the operator seat. The machine may also include a control system, which may include a control handle extending at least partially upward from the armrest. The control system may also include a force feedback device drivingly connected to the control handle and operable to supply feedback force to the control handle. The force-feedback device may include at least one of an actuator or a brake. Additionally, the control system may automatically adjust the magnitude of the feedback force supplied to the control handle by the force feedback device in at least some circumstances.
