Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for laser ranging with high precision and high efficient, a method for identifying distance mode automatically during laser ranging process, and a laser ranger with high precision, high efficient and low power waste. The accuracy of ranging is increased through multi classes of receiving process; the accuracy of ranging is further increased through the selection of distance mode and the adjustment of receiving sensitivity before the measuring steps are executed; the accuracy of ranging is further increased through executing jitter judgment on obtained distance measured values to discard the distance measured values that do not satisfy the setting conditions and judge whether the number of remaining distance measured values satisfies the setting quantity requirement; and the present invention is also of simple structure, high measurement efficiency, and low power waste.

Abstract: Described are techniques for performing data recovery processing for two failed devices included in a set of devices. It is determined whether the two failed devices are each one of the data devices, a horizontal parity device, or a diagonal parity device. Each of the data devices is partitioned into N?1 data segments. The horizontal parity device includes N horizontal parity segments each including parity information for a horizontal grouping of N?1 of the data segments. The diagonal parity device includes N diagonal parity segments each including parity information for a diagonal grouping of N?1 of the data segments. Recovery processing is performed to recover two failed devices in accordance with the diagonal parity device, the horizontal parity device, and the data devices.

Abstract: Accessing data memory includes writing data to a first memory location and to a second memory location in response to a request to write data to a memory address that corresponds to both locations, where the first and second memory locations are mirrored, in response to a request to read data from the memory address, reading data from the first memory location or the second memory location based on load balancing, and accessing data from the second memory location in response to a request to access data at the memory address when memory hardware corresponding to the first memory location has failed. Accessing the data memory may include requesting access to a specific one of the first and second memory locations. The memory address may contain a portion that is common to both the first memory location and the second memory location. Hardware coupled to the memory may cause data written using the memory address to be automatically written to the first memory location and the second memory location.

Abstract: A multilevel speed regulation jack includes an input oil cylinder, an output oil cylinder, and a fluid conduit member between the cylinders. The output oil cylinder includes a cylinder body containing an annular space and a tube piston, which fits in the annular space. A sliding sleeve of the tube piston is movably positioned in the annular space. An annular in-flow oil chamber is formed between the end annular surface of the tube piston and the cylinder body, and a central in-flow oil chamber is formed between the inner central surface of the piston and the cylinder body. The fluid conduit member includes at least two parallel fluid channels connected to the central in-flow oil chamber and the annular in-flow oil chamber, respectively. A control valve in one of the fluid channels opens/closes the channel. The jack can automatically switch between different jacking speeds based on the load sensed by the system and therefore has a high jacking efficiency.
