  • Patent number: 10769036
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide techniques for updating a distributed transaction log on a previously offline resource object component using distributed transaction logs from active host computer nodes from separate RAID mirror configurations. Each component object maintains a journal (log) where distributed transactions are recorded. If a component object goes offline and subsequently returns (e.g., if the node hosting the component object reboots), the component object is marked as stale. To return the component object to an active state, a distributed resources module retrieves the journals from other resource component objects from other RAID configurations where the data is mirrored. The module filters corresponding data that is missing in the journal of the previously offline corresponding object and merges the filtered data to the journal.

  • Publication number: 20190340157
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide techniques managing a log-structured solid state drive (SSD) format in a distributed storage system. SSDs in the distributed storage system maintains a journal of logical changes to storage objects to persist prepared and committed changes in the latency path. The journal includes metadata entries that describe changes and reference data pages. Dense data structures (such as a logical block addressing table) index the metadata entries. To reduce the amount of overhead in I/O operations, the distributed storage system maintains the dense data structures in memory rather than on disk.

  • Publication number: 20190129729
    Abstract: A system comprises data processing hardware and memory hardware. The memory hardware is in communication with the data processing hardware, and stores instructions that, when executed on the data processing hardware, cause the data processing hardware to perform a plurality of operations. In some examples, one of the operations may include receiving instance management configuration data for a single-tenant software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Another operation may include further include receiving an image of the single-tenant SaaS application. Yet another operation can include generating, by the control plane manager, a control plane based on the instance management configuration data. The control plane is configured to create multiple instances of the single-tenant SaaS application based on the received image, and to manage the instances of the single-tenant SaaS application based on the received instance management configuration data.

  • Patent number: 10091985
    Abstract: Method and system for organ preservation. According to one aspect, an organ may be preserved by being perfused with an in situ generated preserving gas. The organ may be, for example, a human or porcine pancreas, and perfusion of the pancreas may be anterograde, retrograde, ductal, anterograde/ductal, or retrograde/ductal. The preserving gas used to perfuse the organ may be dissolved in a liquid and then administered to the organ as a gas/liquid solution or may be mixed with one or more other gases and then administered to the organ as a gas/gas mixture. The preserving gas may be, for example, oxygen gas generated in situ using an electrochemical oxygen concentrator. According to another aspect, an organ preservation system may include an electrochemical oxygen concentrator having a water vapor feed, as well as auxiliary equipment to control and measure delivery pressure, flow, temperature and humidity.

  • Patent number: 10012213
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for controlling and/or upgrading aftermarket multivendor wind turbines. The system includes a turbine controller configured to control operations of the wind turbine, a safety device configured to provide a signal indicative of a health status of the safety device, and a secondary controller inserted between the safety device and the turbine controller. The secondary controller is configured to receive the signal from the safety device over a communication interface. As such, if the signal indicates a normal health status, the secondary controller is configured to send the signal to the turbine controller, i.e. maintain normal operation. Alternatively, if the signal indicates a poor health status, the secondary controller is configured to adjust the signal based at least in part on a signal bias to an adjusted signal and to provide the adjusted signal to the turbine controller.

  • Publication number: 20180176142
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide techniques for measuring congestion and controlling quality of service to a shared resource. A module that interfaces with the shared resource monitors the usage of the shared resource by accessing clients. Upon detecting that the rate of usage of the shared resource has exceeded a maximum rate supported by the shared resource, the module determines and transmits a congestion metric to clients that are currently attempting to access the shared resource. Clients, in turn determine a delay period based on the congestion metric prior to attempting another access of the shared resource.
