  • Publication number: 20170036214
    Abstract: A cutting blade assembly establishes a bidirectional and/or multifaceted scissor-type cutting action to efficiently and effectively process various types of debris encountered by the cutting blade assembly. The assembly includes a cutting plate and a cutting hub configured for relative rotation. A cutting slot is formed in the cutting plate and intersects the axial face to define a cutting edge at the intersection of the cutting slot and the axial face. The cutting hub has a cutting arm positioned adjacent to the axial face. When the cutting plate and the cutting hub undergo relative rotation, the cutting arm passes adjacent to the cutting edge to perform a scissor-type cutting action.

  • Publication number: 20160027516
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for efficient modification of data in non-volatile memory. In some examples, an update, such as a firmware update, may be generated for a first portion of data, such as firmware or a portion of firmware. In some cases, the first portion of data may be used in combination with a respective second portion of data. Also, in some cases, in combination with the update, various modifications may be determined for the second portion of data. Additionally, a set of tasks may be generated for performing the modifications to the second portion of data. The update may then be transmitted along with the set of tasks from one or more control devices to one or more update devices that are being updated with the update.

  • Publication number: 20160004760
    Abstract: A redundant array of independent nodes are networked together. Each node executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage. The nodes are grouped into a plurality of systems each having multiple nodes. A data protection level method comprises setting a numerical value of a system dynamic data protection level for each system of nodes; and in response to user input, setting a value of a data protection level for one or more data objects in a system, the value being a fixed numerical value or a dynamic value. If the one or more data objects have a dynamic value of the data protection level in a system, the one or more data objects inherit the system dynamic data protection level of the system in which the one or more data objects reside. The value of the data protection level represents a number of copies of data of the one or more data objects to be kept where the one or more data objects reside.
