Abstract: A control system for controlling a shared variable frequency drive for operating more than one mechanical systems of a grain bin. The control system includes at least one processor circuit that is configured to operate the shared VFD in both a first mode, wherein operating in the first mode results in operating a fan assembly of the grain bin, and a second mode, wherein operating in the second mode results in operating an unload sweep assembly within the grain bin.

Abstract: A storage system that accomplishes both robustness and scalability. The storage system includes replicated region servers configured to handle computation involving blocks of data in a region. The storage system further includes storage nodes configured to store the blocks of data in the region, where each of the replicated region servers is associated with a particular storage node of the storage nodes. Each storage node is configured to validate that all of the replicated region servers are unanimous in updating the blocks of data in the region prior to updating the blocks of data in the region. In this manner, the storage system provides end-to-end correctness guarantees for read operations, strict ordering guarantees for write operations, and strong durability and availability guarantees despite a wide range of server failures (including memory corruptions, disk corruptions, etc.) and scales these guarantees to thousands of machines and tens of thousands of disks.

Abstract: An electronic system and a method for efficiently documenting medical findings that consist of both a problem and a location on or in the body. This invention further provides a method for documenting multiple problems in related body locations. This invention further provides a method for efficiently issuing orders associated with medical findings that consist of both a problem and a location on or in the body. The invention is able to enhance efficiency during the Physical exam making the invention an essential component of the physician's practice workflow. This, in turn, will enable the invention to serve as a single point of integration for a vast array of useful electronic tools and information.

Abstract: Methods, systems and carrier media are disclosed for near optimal bandwidth-constrained placement of data objects at a collection of distributed caches. The methods may determine placement of data objects based on probability of access requests to those objects, size of the objects, available bandwidth, time available to fill the caches, and/or cost of acquiring copies of the objects from an origin server. Additionally, the methods may account for data objects that already exist in one or more of the caches. The methods may be configured to determine a one-time placement and/or a substantially continuous placement of data objects. Additionally, the methods may be configured to account for variations between the data objects, caches and/or origin servers.
