Abstract: One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for storage virtual machine relocation (e.g., ownership change) between storage clusters. For example, operational statistics of a first storage cluster and a second storage cluster may be evaluated to identify a set of load balancing metrics. Ownership of one or more storage aggregates and/or one or more storage virtual machines may be changed (e.g., permanently changed for load balancing purposes or temporarily changed for disaster recovery purposes) between the first storage cluster and the second storage cluster utilizing zero-copy ownership change operations based upon the set of load balancing metrics. For example, if the first storage cluster is experiencing a relatively heavier load of client I/O operations and the second storage cluster has available resources, ownership of a storage aggregate and a storage virtual machine may be switched from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster for load balancing.

Abstract: A disposable winemaking apparatus for fermenting wine containing skins, seeds, and stems that form a cap includes a single-use, dual chamber plastic bag that incorporates a mechanism to agitate and disperse the cap in order to maximize extraction of color and flavor. It also includes an integral press mechanism to squeeze out the fermented juice through a strainer, retaining the pomace in the disposable bag. The device may also be used for racking and transfer of wine during aging.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a system, method, and device for identifying focal source locations of electrophysiological activity in an organ. The system, method and device may also be used to guide catheter ablation of the organ. An electro-gram signal can be obtained from a location in the organ, and it can be determined if the electrogram is periodic and, if so, the corresponding periodicity cycle length. A plurality of peaks associated with the cycle length can be identified. The location can be identified as a focal source location when the periodicity cycle length and the plurality of peaks have focal source characteristics. Methods are also described for identifying a direction of wave propagation and identifying multiple periodicities within an electrogram signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for the storage and aging of wine that comprises of a disposable flexible bladder contained within a rigid support container. The flexible bladder has a fill/drain port connected to an internal dip tube that allows the bladder to be filled and emptied repeatedly without any contact with air. This allows the wine to remain fresh and unoxidized during storage and aging. The apparatus can be used in multiple support containers, such as barrels, IBCs, and tanks. The apparatus has no moving parts and uses disposable contact materials that eliminate washing and water usage. Single-use components ensure sanitary operation and this combined with the elimination of oxygen in contact with the wine produces consistently higher quality product.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for inverting oligonucleotide probes in an in situ synthesized array. These processes can be used to reverse the orientation of probes with respect to the substrate from 3?-bound to 5?-bound. These processes can also be used to reduce or eliminate the presence of truncated probe sequences from an in situ synthesized array.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for efficiently moving data between cluster nodes. Upon receiving a request to read or write data at a first cluster node that is in communication with a client, the first node effects the transfer to or from a second cluster node. The transfer is carried out using a combination of remote data memory access (“RDMA”), or a similar technique that bypasses a part of the network stack, and transport control protocol (“TCP”), or a similar technique that does not bypass a part of the network stack. The data is transferred using RDMA, while certain control messages are sent using TCP. By combining RDMA content transfers and TCP control messages, data transfers can be carried out faster, more efficiently, and with less processing overhead. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that send an allocation request for an amount of memory to a another computing device. An indication of a memory range corresponding to a plurality of remote use data buffers within a memory of the another computing device is received from the another computing device. A locally managed remote memory (LMRM) pool comprising metadata for the remote use data buffers is instantiated based on the indication of the memory range. One of the remote use data buffers in the LMRM pool is reserved. Data is sent via remote direct memory access (RDMA) to the one of the remote use data buffers. Advantageously, with this technology, a computing device can manage memory belonging to another computing device via the LMRM pool in order to transfer data more efficiently.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for remotely controlling an electronic device including steps which include presenting a login screen, presenting a plurality of different login steps comprising at least one of a password and an additional login step, connecting the device to a remote server to confirm the password and the identity of the user and unlocking at least one application upon a confirmation of the password and the identity of the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides synthetic processes for preparing racemic and/or optically pure epicatechin, epigallocatechin and related polyphenols as such or as their variously functionalized derivatives. A principle objective of the disclosure is to provide a new and useful method of synthesis to obtain polyphenols in isomerically pure and/or racemic forms.

Abstract: Process for recovery and separation of sugars and oil from plants where the stems and leaves of such plants have substantial levels of both sugars and oils.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus that is able to authenticate and prevent illegal manufacturing and unauthorized operation of disposable bioprocess components. This invention utilizes a ferro-electric random access memory chip (FRAM) chip to store error-correctable information on a RFID tag attached to the disposable bioprocess components, where the error-correctable information is written in sequence into the memory chip, so that the redundant information can remain in the chip when the RFID tag and disposable bioprocess component is gamma-sterilized. Also, this invention includes a method for authenticating the disposable bioprocess component that reduces liability in that a counterfeit poor quality disposable component is not used on the hardware so the user will not file an unjustified complaint.

Abstract: An apparatus and method improving effective system throughput for replication of data over a network in a storage computing environment by using software components to perform data compression is disclosed. Software compression support is determined between applications in a data storage computing environment. If supported, compression parameters are negotiated for a communication session between storage systems over a network. Effective system throughput is improved since the size of a compressed lost data packet is less than the size of an uncompressed data packet when a lost packet needs to be retransmitted in a transmission window.
