Abstract: One aspect of the application can provide a system and method for replacing a failing node with a spare node in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system. During operation, in response to determining that a node-migration condition is met, the system can initialize a node controller of the spare node such that accesses to a memory local to the spare node are to be processed by the node controller, quiesce the failing node and the spare node to allow state information of processors on the failing node to be migrated to processors on the spare node, and subsequent to unquiescing the failing node and the spare node, migrate data from the failing node to the spare node while maintaining cache coherence in the NUMA system and while the NUMA system remains in operation, thereby facilitating continuous execution of processes previously executed on the failing node.

Abstract: A distance detector comprising: a laser transmitter and receiver for generating a laser beam to irradiate an object and to receive return light reflected in response from the object, an image detection system for generating an image of a view, the image detection system including an objective lens for collecting light from the view, an image sensor for receiving light collected by the objective lens and for generating the image therefrom, and a digital display for displaying the image such that the digital display displays a real-time image of the view, a laser beam indicium on the digital display or a laser beam indicium generator configured to display laser beam indicium on the digital display, wherein the laser beam indicium indicates a direction of the laser beam, and a range-finding system for determining the distance to an object irradiated by the laser beam using return light and for displaying distance.

Abstract: Various examples described herein are directed to systems and methods for securing data. A security system may receive a first record comprising a plurality of record fields, where the plurality of record fields includes a first record field and the first record field includes a first record field data. The security system may access a source setup record corresponding to the first record from a source setup table and determine that the source setup record comprises data referencing the first record field. The security system may access first token data corresponding to the first record field data and replace the first record field data at the first record field with the first token data. The security system may store the first token data at a token table and writing the first token data to the first record field to replace the first record field data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for securing tissue to bone, including drilling a bone hole into the bone; passing a filament through the tissue, the filament including a first end, a second end and a length therebetween, the second end having a loop; passing the first end of the filament through the loop of the filament; pulling on the first end of the filament such that the loop travels along the length of the filament and to the tissue; passing an anchor along the length of the filament, from the first end towards the loop and tissue; engaging the loop with a distal end of the anchor; positioning the distal end of the anchor, with the loop of the filament, into the bone hole; and securing the anchor in the bone.

Abstract: Pitting corrosion of stainless steel occurs in solutions of organic acid, such as tartaric acid, in an electrolyte solution with methanol. However, methanolic solutions containing at least one organic halide and at least one organic hydroxyl-acid and some water provide reduced pitting corrosion of stainless steel. The organic hydroxyacid may be a hydroxy acid containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with at least one hydroxyl group and at least one carboxylic acid group, in a non-limiting example, glycolic acid. The pH of the methanolic solution may range from about 3.5 to about 8.
