Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments, for a fast boot system. An example embodiment operates by determining that one or more programs have been loaded into memory on a boot-up of a device. A snapshot of the memory including the loaded one or more programs is captured. Operations of the device are monitored after the snapshot has been captured. It is determined that a first program of the one or more programs was updated during the monitoring. A restart of the device is detected, wherein the snapshot is loaded into the memory in lieu of loading the one or more programs, and wherein the first program is updated during the restart of the device.

Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to a system and method for diagnosing display capabilities, such as resolution, frame rate, and content protection, of display devices and improving the performance of the display devices by optimizing the display settings based on the results of the diagnosing. Display diagnostics receives information from display devices in response to tests performed on the display devices. The display diagnostics analyzes the information and provides recommended display settings related to the display device for optimizing the display of video content on the display device.

Abstract: A modular software-defined storage system and method for providing modular software-defined storage, and components thereof, are disclosed herein. In at least one example embodiment, the storage system includes a backplane, a plurality of storage pods, and a management module storing at least one computer program for causing the storage pods to be configured for operation and for facilitating, when the storage pods are configured for operation, storage of information on the storage pods in accordance with a software-defined storage application. The system also includes first and second interfaces by which an additional computer device can at least indirectly engage in communications with the storage system and by which the storage system can at least indirectly engage in additional communications with an additional system having at least one additional storage pod such that the storage system is expanded to allow for additional storage.

Abstract: Equine protective eyewear, including UV rays protection lens, is dimensionally optimized for equine or animals baring similar facial structure. The lens provided in the eyewear range from clear to a variety of colors also having UV rays protection.

Abstract: The invention relates to composite compositions having a matrix of polymer networks and dispersed phases of particulate or fibrous materials. The matrix is filled with a particulate phase, which can be selected from one or more of a variety of components, such as fly ash particles, axially oriented fibers, fabrics, chopped random fibers, mineral fibers, ground waste glass, granite dust, or other solid waste materials. A system for providing shape and/or surface features to a moldable material includes, in an exemplary embodiment, at least two first opposed flat endless belts spaced apart a first distance, with each having an inner surface and an outer surface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes discovering a resource using a first discovery module, the first discovery module being for identifying resources having identifying information known to the first discovery module. The method also includes discovering the resource using a second discovery module, the second discovery module being for identifying resources having identifying information not known to the first discovery module. An object associated with the resource is created by the first discovery module if the resource has identifying information known to the first discovery module. In addition, an object associated with the resource is created by the second discovery module if the resource has identifying information not known to the first discovery module.

Abstract: The invention relates to composite compositions having a matrix of polymer networks and dispersed phases of particulate or fibrous materials. The polymer matrix contains a polyurethane network formed by the reaction of a poly- or di-isocyanate and one or more saturated polyether or polyester polyols, and an optional polyisocyanurate network formed by the reaction of optionally added water and isocyanate. The matrix is filled with a particulate phase, which can be selected from one or more of a variety of components, such as fly ash particles, axially oriented fibers, fabrics, chopped random fibers, mineral fibers, ground waste glass, granite dust, or other solid waste materials. The addition of water can also serve to provide a blowing agent to the reaction mixture, resulting in a foamed structure, if such is desired.
