Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for synchronous replication. For example, synchronous replication relationships are established between a first storage object (e.g., a file, a logical unit number (LUN), a consistency group, etc.), hosted by a first storage controller, and a plurality of replication storage objects hosted by other storage controllers. In this way, a write operation to the first storage object is implemented in parallel upon the first storage object and the replication storage objects in a synchronous manner, such as using a zero-copy operation to reduce overhead otherwise introduced by performing copy operations. Reconciliation is performed in response to a failure so that the first storage object and the replication storage objects comprise consistent data. Failed write operations and replication write operations are retried, while enforcing a single write semantic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrically driven, vapour compression heat pump device. The heat pump device comprises a variable speed or variable capacity refrigerant compressor, a compression stage having a first condenser, an expansion stage having a first evaporator, a DC to AC variable speed compressor drive inverter unit, a grid AC to DC power supply unit and an electronic control unit. The control unit varies the thermal capacity, and the power consumed by the device, in response to an input from at least one of: a renewable electricity generation input, a premises net consumption monitor, a utility grid frequency monitor, and a third party control input.

Abstract: The grill of the present disclosure provides multiple heating zones within a front-to-back direction of each cooking platen. Each cooking zone has a heating element associated therewith. The heating elements can be independently controlled, so that each of the heating zones can be operated at a different temperature if necessary. A controller can monitor and adjust the heat output of each element with a temperature probe that measures the temperature of the surface of the grill plate. One or more of the heating elements can be a gas burner. Electrical heating elements may also be used.

Abstract: Mobile obstacle courses include an expandable structure that is supported by a wheeled chassis and contains a plurality of obstacles therein. The expandable structure is configured to move between a transport state and a deployed state and includes: a central obstacle area and an outer obstacle area that is connected to the central obstacle area in the transport state and in the deployed state. In the transport state, the expandable structure has a first footprint. In the deployed state, the expandable structure has a second footprint that is larger than the first footprint.

Abstract: A post launch pressurized gas production system and method includes a cell containing a pressurized gas producing medium, such as anhydrous sodium bicarbonate producing CO2 gas when heated. A plenum tank is in fluid communication with the cell. A heater heats the cell to produce gas delivered to the plenum tank storing the gas therein under pressure. A pressure vessel includes a propellant therein pressurized by the gas and in fluid communication with a thruster for delivery of the propellant to the thruster after pressurization by the gas.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to new crystalline forms of genistein. The disclosed crystalline forms include crystalline genistein sodium salt dihydrate; crystalline genistein potassium salt dihydrate; crystalline genistein calcium salt; crystalline genistein magnesium salt; crystalline genistein L-lysine salt; crystalline genistein N-methylglucamine salt; crystalline genistein N-ethylglucamine salt; crystalline genistein diethylamine salt; and crystalline genistein monohydrate. The disclosure also relates to the novel genistein salts represented by these crystalline forms.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment or prophylaxis of enteric disease caused by Gram negative bacteria. The method includes the step of administering a vaccine or a hyperimmune material raised against said vaccine to an individual. The vaccine comprises one or more cell wall antigens reactive in a manner characteristic of O group serotypes, or reactive in a manner characteristic of lipopolysaccharide associated antigens, and at least some of said antigens are separated from bacterial cell walls or wall fragments. The invention also provides composition containing hyperimmune material as well as uses of the composition and vaccine.

Abstract: In many environments such as municipal, military and construction the use of digital and paper systems permits end users to create or modify features on digital document, attributes associated with those features, or attribute values associated with those features. The attribute value management system includes a digital pen, at least one digital document, one or more computing devices, and a number of software programs for creating data relationships between the digital documents (e.g., features on maps and their underlying attribute values), interpreting voice or handwritten data, validating the interpreted data, and uploading the validated data to a geo-database. The attribute value management system functions to create, update or otherwise change the attribute values associated with the features by a temporal association method; a linked identification method; or a direct handwriting method.
