Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing a media cache through the monitoring of operational vibration of a data storage device. In some embodiments, a non-volatile media cache of the data storage device is partitioned into at least first and second zones having different data recording characteristics. Input data are received for storage in a non-volatile main memory of the data storage device. An amount of operational vibration associated with the data storage device is measured. The input data are stored in a selected one of the first or second zones of the media cache prior to transfer to the main memory responsive to a comparison of the measured amount of operational vibration to a predetermined operational vibration threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to optimizing a content campaign of a computer network. A data processing system (“system”) can receive and parse a first content item of the content campaign from a content provider via a computer network to identify a logical element, which can include at least one of a verb, noun and temporal language. The system can identify a variant of the logical element to generate a second content item that includes the variant and maintains the syntactic integrity of the first content item. The system can provide at least one of the first content item and the second item for display on at least one web page responsive to receiving one or more requests for content. The system can analyze a performance metric for each of the first content item and the second content item to determine an optimum performing content item.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes receiving a command for storing data to a plurality of data storage resources, storing the data in a set of buffer storage locations, defining a plurality of jobs for the command, each of the plurality of jobs having an associated data operation with at least one of the data storage resources, and reallocating a subset of the buffer storage locations that stored the data for a completed job prior to completion of at least one other job.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method in a data storage system. The method includes defining a plurality of jobs for a command received from a host. Each of the plurality of jobs is associated with one or more of a plurality of data storage resources of the data storage system. The plurality of jobs have a defined order that is a function of addresses of data in the plurality of data storage resources. The method also includes issuing the plurality of jobs to the associated data storage resources and receiving information from the data storage resources for the plurality of jobs. The information is received by a controller of the data storage system for the jobs in an order that is different than the defined order. The method includes transmitting the received information to the host for the plurality of jobs in the defined order.

Abstract: A document image scanner; a camera having a field of view, for sensing differentiated information areas on each physical document as the physical document is transported; an image processing system associated with the camera, for producing a virtual image data file from the differentiated information areas sensed by the camera; sensors for determining the position of the physical document relative to the camera field of view; of electro-mechanical devices for actuating the transporter; and a data interface controller for receiving data from the sensors and controlling the electro-mechanical devices. A communications link is provided between the data interface controller and the image processing system for synchronization by the data interface controller, of the physical document as conveyed and the virtual document image captured by the image processing system.

Abstract: A flexible marker material that is visible to at least one form of electromagnetic wave, sound wave and/or magnetic wave. The marker material is used on a medical device and adds little or no bulk to the medical device.

Abstract: A document image scanner having a transporter for conveying physical documents in spaced serial relation along a working distance; a camera having a field of view along the working distance, for sensing differentiated information areas on each physical document as the physical document is conveyed; an image processing system operatively associated with the camera, for producing a virtual image data file from the differentiated information areas sensed by the camera on the physical document; sensors for determining the position of the conveyed physical document relative to the camera field of view; a plurality of electro-mechanical devices for actuating the transporter; and a data interface controller for receiving data from the sensors and controlling the electro-mechanical devices to transport the physical document.

Abstract: An article of furniture, including a horizontal shelf, a visual representation of a historic landmark attached to the horizontal shelf, and a souvenir substance attached to the article of furniture. In another embodiment, a cabinet, including two or more walls, a horizontal shelf attached to the walls, and a visual representation of a historic landmark attached to the horizontal shelf.
