Abstract: A system and method of manufacturing an aluminum fuel cell cradle are provided. The method comprises providing a negative cast mold having cavities to form the cradle having a length greater than a width to define a longitudinal axis and providing a feeding mechanism disposed about the mold and in fluid communication with the cavities thereof. The feeding mechanism comprises primary risers connected to and in fluid communication with the cavities. The method further comprises melting a first metallic material to define a molten metallic material, moving the mold to a vertical orientation about the longitudinal axis while feeding molten metallic material through the runner to the cavities, and moving the cast mold to a horizontal orientation. A second solidification time in the risers is greater than a first solidification time in the mold such that shrinkage of the solidified metallic material occurs in the risers away from the mold.

Abstract: A high availability controller for combining and unifying aspects of a process controller and an electrical controller. A unified namespace combines a process domain namespace and a power domain namespace in a common database of the controller without altering either. The unified namespace maps source device names of the power domain and unique process control names of the process domain. A common record set of sequence of events (SOEs) for the process domain and the power domain is generated and SOEs arising from the power domain are incorporated into the common record set. The controller performs process control and monitoring along with electrical control signaling and monitoring within a single control strategy directly from the controller.

Abstract: An object-based data storage service receives a request to store a data object in association with a smart data storage tier. Based at least in part on characteristics of the data object, the object-based data storage service identifies and stores the data object in a first location corresponding to a first data storage tier. The object-based data storage service monitors access to the data object to identify a second set of characteristics of the data object. This second set of characteristics is used to determine that the data object is to be transitioned to a second data storage tier. The object-based data storage service, based at least in part on this determination, stores the data object in a second location corresponding to the second data storage tier.

Abstract: A method used in forming integrated circuitry comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating first tiers and second tiers. The first tiers comprise sacrificial material and the second tiers comprise non-sacrificial material that is of different composition from that of the sacrificial material. The stack extends from individual die areas to and across scribe-line area that is between immediately-adjacent of the individual die areas. The scribe-line area comprises a horizontal area in which a registration mark or an alignment mark is being fabricated. Horizontally-spaced features of the registration mark or of the alignment mark are simultaneously formed in the first tiers and the second tiers in the horizontal area and in the individual die areas. The horizontally-spaced features in the horizontal area are grouped in sections that are horizontally-separated by gaps in at least one vertical cross-section where there are less, if any, such horizontally-spaced features than are in the sections.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for storage tier verification checks. A determination is made that a mount operation of an aggregate of a set of volumes stored within a multi-tier storage environment has completed. A first metafile and a second metafile are maintained to track information related to the storage of objects of a volume of the aggregate within a remote object store that is a tier of the multi-tier storage environment. A distributed verification is performed between the first metafile and the second metafile to identify an inconsistency. Accordingly, the first metafile and the second metafile are reconciled to address the inconsistency so that storage information within the first metafile and the second metafile are consistent.

Abstract: Techniques for providing high-performance buffer caches for transactional input/output (I/O) systems are disclosed. The techniques include obtaining a first logical creation time of a resource to be acquired by the first transaction during a pre-commit phase of a first transaction with an I/O system. When the first logical creation time exceeds a latest logical creation time from a set of resources previously acquired by the first transaction, the first logical creation time of the resource is compared with an earliest logical termination time from the set of resources. When the first logical creation time of the resource exceeds the earliest logical termination time from the set of resources, a conflict between the resource and the set of resources is detected, and a restart of the first transaction is triggered.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for generating a trained Bayesian Hierarchical model from low signal datasets. The disclosed approach utilizes data from alternative segments as a baseline to train the Bayesian Hierarchical model. In some embodiments, the disclosed approach may supplement segment-specific features from another dataset. In some embodiments, inputs for prior distributions may be received from an expert and modified based on the model specification. In one example, the disclosed approach may be used to model probability of default for companies in a low-default segment like Energy portfolio. In this example, data from other commercial and industrial segments is used to form a baseline in the Bayesian Hierarchical model. Further, dataset containing segment-specific features for Energy is supplemented to the training dataset.
