Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described for facilitating interactions between software programs by providing a reliable data queuing service that enables the programs to store and retrieve elements of data queues. In some situations, the data queuing service is provided to users who purchase usage of the data queuing service for application programs executed by or otherwise affiliated with the users. In addition, accessibility of the data queuing service to remote executing programs may be enhanced via a defined API of the data queuing service, such as a Web services-based API. Availability of the data queuing service may also be enhanced in some situations by using multiple alternative distributed systems for a data queue such that each of the alternative systems stores a subset of the elements of the data queue.

Abstract: The ball for ball games has a ball body and a spherical shell-shaped outer layer having a plurality of leather panels and disposed on the outside of the ball body. The plurality of leather panels each have a main body and an extending portion that is thinner than the main body and extends from a front-side portion of an outer end surface of the main body to configure an outer end surface of the leather panel. The extending portions of adjacent leather panels are bonded to each other with an adhesive and stitched together with a stitching thread. In the ball for ball games, the extending portion is provided with a reinforcing member for reinforcing an area thereof stitched with the stitching thread.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for transitioning control between a first and second controller of a storage system. In such transition, the first controller transmits a message to a memory element shared by the first and second controllers, the message capable of notifying the second controller of an imminent failure of the first controller. The second controller receives the message from the shared memory element, the message notifying the second controller of an imminent failure of the first controller. Subsequent to transmitting the message to the shared memory element, the first controller becomes unavailable to facilitate access to the storage devices of the storage system. Subsequent to receiving the message from the shared memory element, the second controller becomes available to facilitate access to the storage devices of the storage system.
