Abstract: A method for load balancing is provided based on a user behavior pattern. The user behavior pattern is generated from historical user data to predict next operations a user would perform. Further, the user behavior pattern is bound to resource consumption, and a user and resource type is linked by a weighted value. Load balancing strategies are employed according to the weighted value of the user other than using connection count.

Abstract: An orientating and installing jig for orientating a heat-dissipating unit (or a workpiece) to fix on a heat-generating device (or a target device) above a circuit board (or a supporting baseplate), which includes a carrying board formed with at least one assembling opening, a plurality of fixing posts and a pair of arrest-orientating modules oppositely arranged at two sides of the assembling opening. The assembling opening is shaped correspondingly to the shape of the heat-dissipating unit. The fixing posts are disposed at a bottom surface of the carrying board for fixing the carrying board above the circuit board. Each arrest-orientating module includes an arresting barrier. The arresting barrier is rotatably disposed at a suspending position of suspending the workpiece on the carrying board, and a releasing position of allowing the workpiece to pass through the assembling opening, so that the workpiece is put on the target device.

Abstract: A faucet spout or other component has a metal housing with a plastic liner in an opening in the housing. The faucet component is made by first molding a plastic insert having an elongated body and an opening extending through the elongated body from a first end to a second end. The plastic insert is secured inside of a metal mold. The metal mold is heated (or cooled) to a temperature below the melting temperature of the molded plastic and molten metal is poured in the mold. The molded melting temperature of the plastic is high enough and the metal mold temperature is low enough so that the insert does not melt during the metal molding process.

Abstract: A driver controller comprising a state machine for controlling transitions between a plurality of states. An output switch for providing a low impedance path to ground during transition periods. An output stage for decoupling output signal from driver amplifier during the transition periods.

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus for communicating the status of storage pool job status between storage processors. A storage pool command is received by the secondary storage processor. The storage pool command is provided, by the secondary storage processor, to the primary storage processor. A storage pool job based on the storage pool command is created by the primary storage processor. The storage pool job is submitted, by the primary storage processor, to a job execution engine, for execution. A storage pool job submission notification is provided, by the primary storage processor, to the secondary storage processor. A storage pool job execution acknowledgement is provided, by the primary storage processor, to the secondary storage processor. The storage pool job is executed by the primary storage processor. One or more storage pool job status notifications are provided, by the primary storage processor, to the secondary storage processor.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a scantling unit (20) comprising an interlocking assembly (45). The interlocking assembly (45) comprises; an interlock arm (40) pivotably connected to a scanner base of the scanning unit (20) and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a biasing mechanism, for biasing the interlock arm toward the locked position, A combo gear (31) of the scanning unit (20) is locked by the interlocking assembly (45), thereby being prevented from, rotating, before a scan bar driver gear (26) of the scanning unit (20) engages with the combo gear (31) of the scanning unit (20).

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus for reducing storage system polling when collecting and providing storage system state data. A plurality of poll requests for storage system state data is received. For each poll request of the plurality of poll requests, a poll request arrival time associated with the poll request is stored. A first poll is initiated to collect first storage system state data for a first poll request of the plurality of poll requests. A first poll start time associated with the first poll is stored. The first poll is completed, forming the first storage system state data. For each poll request of the plurality of poll requests, the first storage system state data is provided for the poll request provided that the poll request arrival time is before the first poll start time.
