Abstract: At a recovery manager associated with a cluster, a determination is made as to whether a replacement for a first node of the cluster can be elected by the other nodes of the cluster using a first election protocol. The recovery manager selects a second node of the cluster as a replacement for the first node, based on data item replication progress made at the node, and transmits an indication that the second node has been selected to one or more nodes of the cluster.

Abstract: A computer system maintains its computer system components. In an exemplary embodiment, of the computer system, a topology engine generates topology data to individually correlate hardware components, virtual machines, databases, middleware services, and applications based on hardware execution data. A hardware controller determines when a virtual machine stop condition for a virtual machine is met based on the topology data. When the virtual machine stop condition is met, the hardware controller instructs a hardware component to stop the virtual machine. The hardware controller determines when a virtual machine start condition for a virtual machine is met based on the topology data. When the virtual machine start condition is met, the hardware controller instructs a hardware component to start the virtual machine.

Abstract: An output stage of an output buffer circuit includes a first drive transistor and a first cascode transistor (coupled in series between a first supply node and an output node) and a second drive transistor and a second cascode transistor (coupled in series between the output node and a second supply node). Gates of the first and second cascode transistors are biased with first and second bias voltages, respectively. The first bias voltage equals the first supply voltage at the first supply node when the first supply voltage is less than a threshold, and is fixed at a fixed voltage for any first supply voltage exceeding the threshold voltage. The second bias voltage equals a fixed voltage when the first supply voltage is less than a threshold voltage, and is offset from the first supply voltage by a fixed difference for any first supply voltage exceeding the threshold.

Abstract: In certain systems disclosed herein, a distributed data monitoring and management system is provided that can replicate a distributed storage environment. The distributed data monitoring and management system can intelligently and automatically configure data access nodes to form a structure that matches the distributed storage environment. By matching the structure of the distributed storage environment, the distributed structure of the data may be maintained, enabling the data to be backed up from and/or restored to the distributed storage environment and/or migrated to another distributed storage environment without altering the distribution of the data. Further, embodiments herein enable the transfer of data from a non-distributed environment to a distributed storage environment. Thus, in some cases, an entity can migrate data from a local storage structure to a network-based distributed storage structure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for intraoperative on-demand implant customization in a surgical setting. An apparatus may include a storage portion, an implant customization portion and an interface. The storage portion may house implant blanks and implant accessories. The implant customization portion may customize the implant blanks. The interface may be configured to receive implant customization information and utilize the same to intraoperatively manipulate the implant blank to a patient-specific implant within a sterile environment. A method to customize an implant in a surgical care environment may include the steps of obtaining information related to the implant location, selecting an implant blank based on the information, and customizing the implant blank in a surgical care setting with a customization apparatus.

Abstract: An information management system can manage the removal of data block entries in a deduplicated data store using working copies of the data block entries residing in a local data store of a secondary storage computing device. The system can use the working copies to identify data blocks for removal. Once the deduplication database is updated with the changes to the working copies (e.g., using a transaction based update scheme), the system can query the deduplication database for the database entries identified for removal. Once identified, the system can remove the database entries identified for pruning and/or the corresponding deduplication data blocks from secondary storage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process to improve the yield of strawberry crops, the process comprising the step of applying a polyene antifungal agent, especially natamycin, to the roots of a strawberry plant prior to planting said plant and/or to the medium to which the plant is to be planted. The claimed process results in an increased number of crop, an increase in the weight of individual crop, and an increase in the total weight of the crop, and may allow for an earlier harvest.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a method of thermal management includes capturing one or more thermal images within a temperature-controlled space, using a thermal imaging camera. One or more sources of radiant heat are identified within the temperature-controlled space based on the one or more thermal images. A heat level variation of the one or more sources is determined with respect to an ambient temperature of the temperature-controlled space. A control action of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system is triggered in response to the heat level variation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for manipulating the orientation of a plurality of bone fragments with respect to one another. A bone transport frame including first and second rings, a plurality of elongate struts, and a plurality of ring transport assemblies for orienting a first bone segment with respect to a second bone segment is disclosed. A third ring may be included in the bone transport frame for orienting a third bone segment with respect to the first and second bone segments. Manipulation of an adjustable member of the bone transport frame can transport a ring in either a proximal or distal direction with respect to other rings of the frame. Manipulation of another adjustable member of the bone transport frame can translate a central axis of one of the rings either toward or away from the central axes of the plurality of elongate struts.

Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).

Abstract: The disclosed techniques include generation of a single index table when backing up data in a first backup format to a backup storage system that uses a second backup format. Using the single index table, a query for a data item can be answered by searching the single index table. The single index table avoids having to search through multiple index tables, each corresponding to a different backup format that may be used for backing up the searched data item.
