Abstract: The present invention relates to feed compositions that can modify the feeding behavior of animals. Supplements can be added to no or low roughage rations that improve the performance of animals. In particular, the addition of calcium chloride to a low or no roughage ration can increase the number of feedings but decrease the amount of feeding per meal. This can result in promoting enhances feed conversion and better cost of feed to weight gain.

Abstract: A system configured to compute match potential between first data and second data is provided. The system includes data storage storing the first data and the second data, and at least one processor coupled to the data storage. The at least one processor is configured to identify a first sequence of fingerprints characterizing a first plurality of sections of the first data, the first sequence being ordered according to an order of the first plurality of sections within the first data; identify a second sequence of fingerprints comprising fingerprints that match fingerprints within the first sequence, the second sequence of fingerprints characterizing a second plurality of sections of the second data, the second sequence being ordered according to an order of the second plurality of sections within the second data; quantify a similarity between the first sequence and the second sequence; and adjust the match potential based on the similarity.

Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a data storage system is provided. The data storage system includes memory, at least one processor in data communication with the memory, and a deduplication director component executable by the at least one processor. The deduplication director component is configured to receive data for storage on the data storage system, analyze the data to determine whether the data is suitable for at least one of summary-based deduplication, content-based deduplication, and no deduplication, and store, in a common object store, at least one of the data and a reference to duplicate data stored in the common object store.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for enhancing search results, as well as user interfaces for performing search queries and navigating search results, are provided. A search query is received from a user. A plurality of web pages relevant to the search query are identified. At least one of the relevant web pages is identified as popular. A search result page is generated including a search result listing and a search result page header. The search result page header includes a link to the popular web page to provide the user with a quick and easy way to select a popular web page relevant to the user's search query.

Abstract: A system configured to generate a macro-fingerprint from at least one predefined set of summaries is provided. The system includes data storage storing a first predefined set of summaries associated with a first region of data, each member of the first predefined set of summaries characterizing data within the first region of data; and at least one processor coupled to the data storage and configured to: read the first predefined set of summaries; select at least one first member from the first predefined set of summaries based on a value of the at least one first member; and store the at least one first member within a first macro-fingerprint. The first region of data may have a first size indicative of a quantity of data included in the first region of data. The macro fingerprints are created from previously created smaller (micro) fingerprints without having to reread the data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer-storage media for organizing presentation of browser toolbars. In one embodiment, a toolbar of a web browser is presented. The toolbar has a search input box. Additionally, one or more application icons are presented on each of at least two sides of the search input box. An indication that a user has engaged an application icon of the toolbar is received. Further, an application window is presented beneath the search input box of the toolbar. The application window comprises content associated with the application icon.

Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for detection and deduplication of backup sets exhibiting poor locality. A first set of summaries of a first data set are determined, each summary of the first set of summaries being indicative of a data pattern in the first data set. A second set of summaries of a second data set are determined, each summary of the second set of summaries being indicative of a data pattern in the second data set. A set of comparison metrics are calculated, each comparison metric being based on a first subset of summaries from the first set of summaries and a second subset of summaries from the second set of summaries. A locality metric is calculated based on the set of comparison metrics indicative of whether the first data set and second data set exhibit poor locality.

Abstract: A phase balancing system includes a load forecasting module, a phase unbalance identification module and a demand response module. The load forecasting module determines a load forecast for the distribution system for the period of interest and the phase unbalance identification module determines voltage unbalance on the distribution system for the period of interest. The demand response module estimates an available demand response on the distribution system for the period of interest and allocates an optimized demand response from the available demand response to minimize the voltage unbalance on the distribution system for the period of interest.

Abstract: A system configured to generate data having one or more predetermined characteristics is provided. The system includes memory, at least one processor, and at least one data stream component. The at least one data stream component is executed by the at least one processor and configured to read at least one first parameter descriptive of the one or more predetermined characteristics, identify a target sequence of data based on the at least one first parameter, execute a plurality data generator components to generate one or more data chunks, and assemble the target sequence from the one or more data chunks into at least one data stream. The at least one first parameter descriptive of one or more predetermined characteristics may include at least one of a compression ratio parameter, a multiplex degree parameter, a data change ratio parameter, and a total stream size parameter.
