  • Patent number: 12212486
    Abstract: Embodiments of multi-host link aggregation are described for active-active cluster implementations. In one or more embodiments, a multi-host LAG bond in the cluster is created with a bond MAC address designated for the bond. Afterwards, a virtual IP address may be created for all hosts within the multi-host LAG bond. Compared with existing active-active cluster implementation, the presented multi-host link aggregation embodiments do not require extra entities, e.g., load balancer or DNS, which could be a failure point or performance bottleneck, thus makes the active-active cluster implementations more efficient and robust. With the Multi-Host LACP bond and virtual IP on all hosts, the cluster may have increased bandwidth to the cluster service and utilize computing capacity in a network switch for improved workload distribution.

  • Patent number: 11585218
    Abstract: A drilling device for surveying front rock-mass intactness of a tunnel face for a tunnel constructed by a TBM and a method using the same are provided. The drilling device includes a drilling assembly, a drill-attitude control assembly, a data monitoring assembly and a TBM-platform fixing seat. The drilling assembly is connected to a TBM hydraulic system to obtain power, to drill the rock mass by an alloy bit through rotation and translation thereof. The drill-attitude control assembly controls an angle, a direction and a position of a drill rod and maintains drilling accuracy and stability. The data monitoring assembly acquires and stores a drilling dynamic-response signal by a high-accuracy sensor and a data recorder, to analyze an intactness characteristic of the rock mass. The TBM-platform fixing seat mounts the drilling device on the TBM.

  • Patent number: 10838825
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing snapshot sets for consistency groups of storage volumes in data storage systems. For each snapshot in a snapshot set of a consistency group, metadata is expanded to include a snapshot set identifier, and a consistency group identifier. The data structure of the consistency group is enhanced to include a snapshot set list, which includes the snapshot set identifier(s) of the consistency group, and a pointer to a storage volume list that contains names of storage volumes with snapshots in the snapshot set(s). By expanding the metadata of each snapshot in a snapshot set, and enhancing the data structure of each consistency group with snapshot set(s), relationships between snapshots, snapshot sets, consistency groups, and storage volumes can be readily maintained, allowing storage volumes to be added to and/or removed from consistency groups without having to delete snapshots of the storage volumes and/or snapshot sets of the consistency groups.

  • Patent number: 9102527
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the manipulation of a polarizable object with a pair of elongated nanoelectrodes using dielectrophoresis. The nanoelectrodes can be carbon nanotubes and are coupled with one or more time-varying voltage sources to create an electric field gradient in a gap between the nanotubes. The gradient induces the movement of a polarizable object in proximity with the field. The nanotube pair can be used to trap a single polarizable object in the gap. A method of fabricating a nanoelectrode dielectrophoretic system is also provided. Applications extend to self-fabricating nanoelectronics, nanomachines, nanochemistry and nanobiochemistry. A nanoelectrode dielectrophoretic system having an extended nanoelectrode for use in applications including the self-fabrication of a nanowire, as well as methods for fabricating the same, are also provided.
