  • Publication number: 20240126700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based data storage are provided. There may be a read/write cache configured to cache objects to be written to an object-based data storage. A document in the read/write cache may have a lock state set to unlocked, thereby allowing the document to be deleted. Or, the document in the read/write cache may have a lock state set to locked, thereby preventing deletion of the document.

  • Publication number: 20240067070
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a support structure, a base supported on the support structure, a table supported on the base and movable relative to the base, and first and second arcuate cam slots provided on one of the base and the table. The vehicle also includes first and second pivot pins provided on the other of the base and the table and operatively coupled to the first and second arcuate cam slots and a locking mechanism configured to lock one of the pivot pins in a position to prevent one pivot pin from sliding within the arcuate cam slots and to allow the one pivot pin to rotate while the other of the first and second pivot pins slides within the corresponding arcuate cam slot to rotate the table to a use position.

  • Patent number: 11914530
    Abstract: Memory having internal processors, and methods of data communication within such a memory are provided. In one embodiment, an internal processor may concurrently access one or more banks on a memory array on a memory device via one or more buffers. The internal processor may be coupled to a buffer capable of accessing more than one bank, or coupled to more than one buffer that may each access a bank, such that data may be retrieved from and stored in different banks concurrently. Further, the memory device may be configured for communication between one or more internal processors through couplings between memory components, such as buffers coupled to each of the internal processors. Therefore, a multi-operation instruction may be performed by different internal processors, and data (such as intermediate results) from one internal processor may be transferred to another internal processor of the memory, enabling parallel execution of an instruction(s).

  • Publication number: 20230185860
    Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based data storage are provided. A queue may be maintained of operations relating to a plurality of documents operable to be maintained at an object-based data storage. An independent operation may be identified in the queue that must be processed prior to processing at least one dependent operation to thereby enable parallelization of processing of operations in the queue. The identified independent operation may then be processed. Subsequently, the dependent operations may be processed.

  • Publication number: 20230185715
    Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based data storage are provided. A queue may be maintained of operations relating to a plurality of documents operable to be maintained at an object-based data storage. In the queue, a read operation to read a document from an object-based storage may then be identified. Based on the read operation, an additional document, which is not associated with a read operation in the queue, may be identified. Both the document and the additional document may then be retrieved from the object-based storage, and stored in a cache memory.

  • Publication number: 20160192575
    Abstract: A ground-engaging farm implement is provided. A support frame of the farm implement has a front end portion which is adapted for being coupled to a hitch of a power unit. At least one ground-engaging tool is mounted to the support frame. A substantial portion of the weight of the farm implement is supported by at least one support wheel. A wheel support structure having the at least one support wheel rotatably movable mounted thereto is pivotally movable mounted to the support frame such that the at least one support wheel is enabled to substantially vertically move a predetermined distance with respect to the support frame. A suspension air bag or the springs of a suspension system are interposed between the support frame and the wheel support structure for controlling the vertical movement of the at least one support wheel.

  • Patent number: 9068296
    Abstract: A system for maintaining the temperature of the contents of an asphalt storage hopper mounted to a mobile pavement repair vehicle. The thermostatic control system directs a flow controller to direct exhaust gases from the engine of the vehicle either to the atmosphere or to a heat exchanger within the asphalt hopper in order to maintain the desired temperature. The thermostatic controller may allow an operator to select a desired temperature for the asphalt.
