The assisting member used for straightening up nails further comprises at least an assisting surface parallel to the nailing track. The pushing means is used for pushing the pushing end elastically.

Abstract: Described are techniques for representing and using RAID group consistency information. RAID group consistency information for a slice of data included on a device may be obtained by mapping the slice to an index. The index is one of a plurality of indices each associated with a structure indicating RAID group inconsistencies for a different portion of slices of data of the device. If the index is not associated with a structure, it may be determined that there is no RAID group inconsistency for the slice. If the index is associated with a structure, a hint bit associated with the slice may be determined wherein the hint bit encodes summary consistency information for a plurality of slices. A determination is made as to whether the hint bit is set, and, if the hint bit is not set, it is determined that there is no RAID group inconsistency for the slice.

Abstract: Data units are prefetched into a cache memory by executing a first prefetch task to prefetch a first prefetch series of data units from off-cache. A first prefetch operation is executed to prefetch and store a first selected set of data units. Decisions are made about the first prefetch task, subsequent prefetch operations and prefetch tasks based on in-cache data units associated with the first prefetch task and on other data units that are read from off-cache but that are not associated with the first prefetch task. A determination is made whether an additional data unit that is read from an off-cache logical location is a first prefetch series member. If so, it is associated with the first prefetch task, and, for decision making, is treated as having been prefetched into cache in accordance with the first prefetch task.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for providing information about terminals allowing session mobility. A target terminal list is configured by locating terminals having higher possibilities for session mobility to locations having higher session mobility priorities on the target terminal list to reconfigure the target terminal list, the reconfigured target terminal list is transmitted to a terminal in which a session is currently being executed, and a terminal to which the session is to be moved is selected from the target terminal list. Accordingly, efficiency of session mobility is ensured.

Abstract: A three dimensional device stack structure comprises two or more active device and interconnect layers further connected together using through substrate vias. Methods of forming the three dimensional device stack structure comprise alignment, bonding by lamination, thinning and post thinning processing. The via features enable the retention of alignment through the lamination process and any subsequent process steps thus achieving a mechanically more robust stack structure compared to the prior art.

Abstract: A cache management system and method monitors and controls the contents of cache memory coupled to at least one host and at least one data storage device where data-units are prefetched and stored into a cache memory in a data-set format, comprising the data-units and meta-data associated with the data units. The meta-data contain time stamp information encoded with information whether the cached prefetched information is available for reuse by additional prefetched data. Prefetched data-units are controlled by executing a first prefetch task to prefetch a first prefetch series of data-units from off-cache. A first prefetch operation is executed to prefetch and store a first selected set of data units. The prefetch task contains three dedicated pointers into cache memory.

Abstract: Described are techniques for managing a sequential stream in a data storage system. A front-end component receives a plurality of data operations for a plurality of data portions and determines that the plurality of data portions are associated with a sequential stream. Each of the plurality of data portions of the sequential stream is associated with a sequential stream identifier, and a position indicator uniquely identifying a position of said each data portion in said sequential stream. Each of the plurality of data portions that is prefetched is associated with a remaining prefetched identifier and included in a prefetched chunk of data portions. The front-end component uses information about said sequential stream in connection with managing said sequential stream. The information includes the sequential stream identifier, one or more position indicators, and one or more remaining prefetched identifiers.

Abstract: A semantic service discovery technology is provided. A semantic service discovery method includes: receiving a query for a service discovery from a user equipment (UE); analyzing the received query; conducting an ontology-based analysis of semantic information of the analyzed query; and generating a query for the service discovery by putting the analyzed semantic information together, converting the generated query into an ontology query, and discovering services using the ontology query. Therefore, a service desired by a user can be discovered through a semantic approach.

Abstract: Handling a write operation to write data to a section of a storage device includes determining if the section needs to be copied to at least a first target device and, if the section of the storage device needs to be copied to the at least first target device, providing the data to a memory location and confirming completion of the write operation prior to copying the section of the storage device to the at least first target device. Handling a write operation to write data to a section of a storage device may also include determining if a slot in a cache memory corresponding to the section of the storage device needs to be copied to at least a second target device. If so, then in some cases the slot may be copied to the at least second target device prior to providing the data to the memory location.
