  • Patent number: 10956077
    Abstract: A data access method, a routing apparatus, and a storage system are provided. The method is applied to a storage system including a first storage device, a second storage device, and a routing apparatus. A logical unit in each storage device includes at least one first-type logical block and at least one second-type logical block. According to the method, when sending access requests to the storage devices in the storage system according to a preset rule, the routing apparatus sends access requests corresponding to same target logical blocks to one of the storage devices according to a preset rule. This reduces network overheads between the storage system and the application server, and improves efficiency of processing the access requests by the storage system.

  • Patent number: 5944875
    Abstract: A triboelectrostatic separation apparatus includes a mixing chamber having opposed first and second charging ports, a separator having a separation chamber, first and second electrodes, and a variable voltage source for applying respective positive and negative voltage potentials to the electrodes. First and second particle streams are delivered through the first and second charging ports resulting in the impingement of the particle streams upon each other within the mixing chamber, thus enhancing the electrostatic charging of the particles contained within the particle streams. The apparatus may also include a pre-separator having a pre-separation chamber, a charged particle collection chamber and a plurality of feed passageways providing fluid communication between the pre-separation and the charged particle collection chambers.
