  • Patent number: 12105969
    Abstract: Storage processes are described. For instance, dumping of cache data in a memory table at a source directory table partition in a source container group is stopped in response to receiving a close signal. A notification for creating a target directory table partition is sent to a target container group, the notification including a checkpoint at the source directory table partition. The cache data in the memory table is sent to the target container group, and the source container group is closed in response to a determination that an ownership of the target directory table partition is updated to the target container group. A rescheduling and/or upgrading solution is thus proposed for a source container group, so that the source container group is still in a service state during the rescheduling and/or upgrading solution, which improves the performance of storage services and reduces the data unavailable time.

  • Patent number: 12092682
    Abstract: A method and a system for diagnosing an open circuit (OC) fault of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) of a T-type three-level (T23L) inverter under multiple power factors based on instantaneous current distortion are provided. Similar characteristics of current distortion may be caused by an OC fault of a T23L inverter, making it is difficult to locate the fault. The method for diagnosing an OC fault of a grid-connected T23L inverter, can diagnose the OC fault hierarchically; four switch transistors in a phase can be divided into two groups according to the similarity analysis of current distortion under different power factors; group-based fault diagnosis is realized by half cycles in which a zero domain occurs; and then, a specific switching signal is injected to realize equipment-based OC fault diagnosis. The OC fault diagnosis of a T23L inverter is realized without additional hardware circuits.
