Abstract: Auditing of mortgage documents is faster and simpler. An electronic mortgage application often contains or references a collection of many separate electronic mortgage documents. Electronic data representing an original version of an electronic mortgage document and its current version may be hashed to generate digital signatures. Any auditor may then quickly compare the digital signatures. If the digital signatures match, then the audit reveals that the electronic mortgage document has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the electronic mortgage document has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the electronic mortgage document for additional auditing processes.

Abstract: Some examples relate to prefetching data in a distributed storage system. In an example, a first storage node may receive I/O requests sent by a host system, for sequential data of a storage volume distributed across a plurality of storage nodes. The first storage node may determine whether the host system is aware or unaware of layout information of the storage volume. If the host system is unware, the first storage node may prefetch the sequential data of the storage volume from other nodes of the plurality of storage nodes. If the host system is aware, the first storage node may indicate to a second storage node that the I/O requests by the host system are for the sequential data of the storage volume.

Abstract: Aircraft wings have an interior volume that incorporates a space frame as a primary supporting structure of the wing, and enables securement of an aircraft fuselage to the wing. The space frame includes carbon fiber rods arranged to handle tensile and compression loads otherwise carried by conventional wing spars, ribs, and stringers normally connected to heavy structural metal wing box joints at the sides of a fuselage for attachment of left and right wings. The space frame also includes sleeve and shaft connectors secured to the carbon fiber rods, the connectors arranged in truss-like configurations for preventing buckling of the carbon fiber rods. The space frame may be designed to extend at least midspan between wings, so that traditional wing box joints on a fuselage can be eliminated. Finally, wing skin panels secured to the space frame can be designed to support only aerodynamic loads of flight.

Abstract: The systems described herein are configured to enhance the efficiency of memory in a host file system with respect to hosted virtual file systems. In situations when the hosted virtual file systems use smaller file block sizes than the file block sizes of the host file system. During storage of a file, a file block is assigned a block address and unmapping bits. The block address and unmapping bits are stored in a pointer block or other similar data structure associated with the file. Particularly, the block address is stored in a first address block and the unmapping bits are stored in at least one additional address block located in proximity to the block address, such that the unmap granularity of the file is not limited by the fixed size of address blocks in the system.

Abstract: The systems described herein are configured to enhance the efficiency of memory usage and access in a VM file system data store with respect to allocating memory in large and small file block clusters using affinity metadata and propagating and maintaining the affinity metadata in support of the described allocation. In order to maintain affinity metadata of the large file block cluster, affinity generation values stored on the large file block cluster are read and cached affinity generation values for each small file block cluster are read from an in-memory cache associated with the large file block cluster. When the stored affinity generation values and the cached affinity generation values do not match, affinity metadata from all the small file block clusters associated with the large file block cluster is used to update the affinity metadata of the large file block cluster and the associated cache.
