Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing a reliable placement engine for a block device. The method includes the steps of tracking one or more parameters associated with a plurality of real storage devices (RSDs), generating a plurality of RSD objects in a memory associated with a first node, generating a virtual storage device (VSD) object in the memory, and selecting one or more RSD objects in the plurality of RSD objects based on the one or more parameters. Each RSD object corresponds to a particular RSD in the plurality of RSDs. The method also includes the step of, for each RSD object in the one or more RSD objects, allocating a block of memory in the RSD associated with the RSD object to store data corresponding to a first block of memory associated with the VSD object.

Abstract: The present application relates to perfume raw materials, perfumes, perfume delivery systems and consumer products comprising such perfume raw materials, perfumes and/or such perfume delivery systems, as well as processes for making and/or using such perfume raw materials, perfume delivery systems and consumer products. Such perfume raw materials, perfumes, perfume delivery systems and consumer products can reduce the impact of certain harsh odours.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for designing a digital design layout that includes text includes receiving a first user input requesting creation of a text editing element. The text editing element may include a text window and one or more graphical user interface controls associated with the text window. In response to receiving the first user input, the text editing element is displayed via a graphical user interface. The text editing element includes a graphical representation of a text window containing text, an adjustable slide control for changing the text characteristic, and a resize handle for changing the size of the text window. The method further includes receiving a second user input requesting adjustment of the adjustable slide control. In response to receiving the second user input, a characteristic of the text contained in the text window is changed without changing the width and the height of the text window.

Abstract: A fully recyclable valve housing for engagement with a neck of a container, such as a beer keg, has an inner port for liquid and a concentric outer port for pressurized gas, with openings for admitting pressurized gas into the container. A dip tube is connected to a bottom end fitting, communicating with a valve stem within the valve housing. A valve member controls flow through the concentric ports, and a spring element located about the valve stem urges the valve member upwards to close the ports. The spring element is molded from a resilient polymeric material and comprises a plurality of C-shaped sections angularly arranged in two interconnected stacks on opposite sides of the valve stem such that movement of the valve member causes concurrent resilient deformation of all the sections.

Abstract: A light unit (10) comprising a housing (12) securable to a mounting surface such that a lower end thereof is adjacent the lower surface of the mounting surface. A light module (13) is mounted within the housing (12) having a first lighting emitting surface provided on a lower end surface (40) of the light module (13) and a second lighting emitting surface provided on a side surface (44). The light module (13) is mounted for movement relative to the housing (12) such that the light module (13) is movable between a retracted position in which the first lighting emitting surface is exposed and the second lighting emitting surface is covered by the housing (12), and an extended position in which the second lighting emitting surface is exposed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for increasing airflow through a charge air cooler (CAC) in order to purge condensate from the CAC. In one example, a method includes increasing airflow through the CAC while maintaining torque by selectively deactivating one or more engine cylinders and increasing boost. The number of deactivated cylinders may be based on an amount of condensate within the CAC.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and computer program product for controlling reception in an asynchronous operation mode, wherein a transmitter sends an extended preamble sequence of length longer than the maximum length of a wake up message itself plus the maximum length of a gap between wake up messages, such that a receiver turning on during a sequence of wake up commands and not detecting the wake up commands, can be sure to successfully detect a preamble if it tries again a second time a set interval later.

Abstract: A container such as a beer keg includes a container body 1 and top and bottom chimes 2, 3. The container body has a peripheral side wall 10 provided with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced projections which are formed with the container body by a simple pressing or molding operation. Each chime is formed with a peripheral skirt 23 which fits over the peripheral side wall and a co-operating inner lip which snap-engages over the circumferentially-spaced projections. In a plastics container, the contents of the container tend to press against the projections and resist any tendency to distortion in normal use and therefore increase the strength of the attachment. In the case of the top chime 2 the skirt 23 is joined to an inner hub 21 which is additionally fixed to the container neck 12 by means of a valve assembly 4 which is screwed onto the neck. A cap 6 prevents unscrewing of the valve assembly 4 and provides immediate evidence of tampering.
