Abstract: A method for deleting obsolete files from a file system is provided. The method includes receiving a request to delete a reference to a first target file of a plurality of target files stored in a file system, the first target file having a first target file name. A first reference file whose file name includes the first target file name is identified. The first reference file is deleted from the file system. The method further includes determining whether the file system includes at least one reference file, distinct from the first reference file, whose file name includes the first target file name. In accordance with a determination that the file system does not include the at least one reference file, the first target file is deleted from the file system.

Abstract: A cloud-based framework dynamically utilizes a distributed pool of accelerators to parallelize calculations of physical simulation (physics) solver code partitioned across multiple accelerators and compute nodes of one or more virtual data centers in a virtualized computing environment. Multi-level partitioning logic of the framework partitions an input data set of the physics solver code into code groups configured to run on the accelerators using a “hardware agnostic” software layer that abstracts differences in processing architectures to allow targeting of different types of accelerators. A predictive scheduler interacts with the multi-level partitioning logic to locate and predictively reserve the accelerators within the pool, dynamically access and utilize the accelerators when needed, and then promptly release them upon completion of the calculations.

Abstract: A terminal-equipped wire is provided with a wire including a conductor, a terminal to be connected to the conductor, and a shell to be mounted on the terminal. The terminal includes a grip portion for sandwiching the conductor. The shell includes a pressing portion for pressing at least a part of the grip portion toward the conductor. The grip portion has a Sn—Ni alloy layer. The Sn—Ni alloy layer includes locally projecting protrusions. The protrusions bite into the conductor.

Abstract: A method of accessing data includes storing a table that includes a plurality of tablets corresponding to distinct non-overlapping table portions. Respective pluralities of tablet access objects and application objects are stored in a plurality of servers. A distinct application object and distinct tablet are associated with each tablet access object. Each application object corresponds to a distinct instantiation of an application associated with the table. The tablet access objects and associated application objects are redistributed among the servers in accordance with a first load-balancing criterion. A first request directed to a respective tablet is received from a client. In response, the tablet access object associated with the respective tablet is used to perform a data access operation on the respective tablet, and the application object associated with the respective tablet is used to perform an additional computational operation to produce a result to be returned to the client.

Abstract: Provided is a half bearing constituting a sliding bearing for a shaft member of an internal combustion engine that is unlikely to cause seizure in a sliding surface even if deflection or whirling of the shaft member occurs during an operation of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A multilayer circuit board having a signal and power isolation circuit, which can suppress the capacitive coupling between a chip inductor and a ground layer below the chip inductor and also suppress the characteristic impedance change occurring in a mounting pad on a microstrip line. Portions of the inner-layer ground below both the mounting pad on the microstrip line and the chip inductors connected to the mounting pad are separately removed respectively as the signal transmission characteristic compensation removal portion, which is formed by removing a portion having a predetermined area and situated immediately below the mounting pad, and the inductor characteristic compensation removal portion, which is formed by removing a mounting-surface-below portion having a predetermined area and situated immediately below the chip inductors.

A transmission system for superimposing power on a signal transmission path between a first circuit module and a second circuit module includes a first capacitor between the transmission path and a first interface IC in the first circuit module, a second capacitor between the transmission path and a second interface IC in the second circuit module, a first inductor between a first power supply circuit in the first circuit module and the transmission path, and a second inductor between a second power supply circuit in the second circuit module and the transmission path. A capacitance value of the first capacitor and a capacitance value of the second capacitor differ from each other. Inductance values of each of the first and second inductors are in a range from 20 [?H] to 50 [?H].
