Abstract: A card connector that is removably fixable to a main body of a carrier system. For example, an outer flange of the card connector may be removably fixed (e.g., with fasteners, such as bolts) to the main body of the carrier system. A protrusion of the card connector may include a connector configured to electrically couple to the plugin card. The protrusion may extend into an interior of the main body when the card connector is removably fixed to the main body, such that the plugin card is disposed entirely within the main body. The card connector provides for a user to easily remove the card connector from the main body (e.g. by unfastening bolts and sliding the card connector out of the main body) and removably fix a new card connector to the main body. The new card connector may include different internal electronics or external porting than the original card connector.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining an address associated with a data transform command. The address may be disposed in a container located in a first memory. The method also includes obtaining metadata associated with the data transform command. The data transform command may be disposed in the first memory and may be pointed to by the address. A first portion of the metadata may be public data and a second portion of the metadata may be sensitive data. The method further includes storing the public data in the first memory and the sensitive data in a second memory disposed internally to a data transform accelerator. The method also includes configuring a data transform pipeline in the data transform accelerator based on the public data in the first memory and the sensitive data in the second memory.

Abstract: A method includes initializing a virtual machine including a virtual machine memory disposed in memory of a data transform accelerator. The method also includes obtaining an address associated with a data transform command. The address may be disposed in a container located in a first partition of the virtual machine memory. The method also includes obtaining metadata associated with the data transform command. A first portion of the metadata may be public data and a second portion of the metadata may be sensitive data. The method further includes storing the public data in the first partition and the sensitive data in a second partition of the virtual machine memory. The method also includes configuring a data transform pipeline in the data transform accelerator based on the public data in the first partition and the sensitive data in the second partition.

Abstract: A method includes determining a communication interface between a host computing unit and a data transform accelerator, hosting one or more virtual machines on a host operating system of the host computing unit; partitioning a collection of container data structures into multiple sets; partitioning a memory of the data transform accelerator into multiple partitions; submitting one or more data transform commands for processing by the data transform accelerator device; in response to a determination that an address is in a particular container data structure, accessing the data transform command based on the address; obtaining metadata based on information in the data transform command; and configuring a data transform pipeline based on the metadata.

Abstract: A method includes determining an address associated with a data transform command in a container data structure which is in a host computing unit. The host computing unit is in communication with the data transform accelerator. In response to a determination that the address is in the container data structure, the method includes accessing the data transform command based on the address. The method also includes obtaining metadata based on information in the data transform command. The metadata is in the host computing unit. The metadata can be shared in its entirety or partially by multiple data transform commands grouped together. The method further includes configuring a data transform pipeline based on the metadata.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of rack-mountable, ruggedized drawers, each comprising a main body, a set of fans, a power supply, and a card connector. Connections may be provided, via a backplane of each of the card connectors, to a set of plugin cards each installed in the respective main body. A processor of the card connector of one of the drawers may represent the drawers by communicating information with an external third party.

Abstract: An antimicrobial device, such as a flashlight, lantern, or lamp, is discussed herein. The antimicrobial device produces light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (i.e., 150-250 nm), including 200-230 nm. The antimicrobial device includes an electron source, an extractor, and a target material. The electron source provides the electrons of sufficient energy to cause a photon to be released, whether by a target or by the electron itself. The extractor extracts the electrons from the electron source. The target material is a component at which the electron is directed. The target material can release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range or cause the electron to release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range.

The method further includes directing the data to the second data transform engine, the second data transform engine to perform a second data transform operation on the data.

Abstract: Position sensing modules associated with a device are provided. The position sensing modules are configured to receive electrical characteristics associated with one or more switches of a device over a predetermined period of time, the one or more switches being configured to connect service to or disconnect service from a customer; calculate a match indicator for each phase of the device including the one or more switches, the match indicator indicating whether an electrical characteristic on a load-side of the device matches a same electrical characteristic on a line-side of the device for each phase of the device; and determine a position of the one or more switches based on the received electrical characteristics and the calculated match indicator for each phase of the device.

Abstract: This disclosure addresses the problem of preventing sediment laden water (“sediment slurry”) resulting from hydraulic collection of nodules from the seabed from entering the riser and lift system that carries the nodules to the surface as a slurry. An example includes collecting nodules from the seabed by hydraulic suction, separating the nodules utilizing an inverse hydrocyclone.

Abstract: Position sensing and verification modules and a meter are provided. A module is configured to determine a position of one or more switch poles by measuring a current across the one or more switch poles. If a current is greater than or equal to a predetermined current threshold, the position is closed. If a current is less than the predetermined current threshold, the position is open. The module is configured to determine a line voltage with respect to a first reference value, determine a load voltage with respect to the first reference value, compare the line voltage to the load voltage to determine if the line voltage and the load voltage are within a predetermined threshold, and confirm the position of the one or more switch poles based on the comparison of the line voltage to the load voltage for the one or more line phases.
