A commutating circuit breaker that progressively inserts increasing resistance into a circuit via physical motion of a shuttle that is linked into the circuit by at least one set of sliding electrical contacts on the shuttle that connect the power through the moving shuttle to a sequence of different resistive paths with increasing resistance; the motion of the shuttle can be either linear or rotary. At no point are the sliding stator electrodes separated from the matching stationary stator electrodes so as to generate a powerful arc, which minimizes damage to the sliding stator electrodes. Instead, the current is commutated from one resistive path to the next with small enough changes in resistance at each step that arcing is suppressed. The variable resistance can either be within the moving shuttle, or the shuttle can comprise a commutating shuttle that moves the current over a series of stationary resistors.

In order to realize a practical data warehouse system with the use of a network in a distributed environment, for example, data collectors (101 and 102) for creating / managing each replica of server data for clients (103 and 104) as shown in FIG. 1 are connected to a network (113). A data collector holds a data request condition given from a user via a client and negotiates with a server (114, 122) which supplies data according to such resources as a storage unit, a CPU, etc. usable by the data collector, thereby the range and quality of the data for which a replica is to be created can be adjusted. For query processing, a part or the whole of a query from a client is processed with the use of a replica (123) created in the data collector. Queries which cannot be processed with any replica in the data collector are transferred to the server. Because a replica created in the data collector can be used to process a query from a client device such a way, the server load can be reduced.

Techniques and structures relating to virtual graphics processing units (VGPUs) are disclosed. A VGPU may appear to software as an independent hardware GPU. However, two or more VGPUs can be implemented on the same GPU through the use of control structures and by duplicating some (but not all) hardware elements of the GPU. For example, additional registers and storage space may be added in a GPU supporting multiple VGPUs. Different execution priorities may be set for tasks and threads that correspond to the different supported VGPUs. Memory address space for the VGPUs may also be managed, including use of virtual address space for different VGPUs. Halting and resuming execution of different VGPUs may allow for finer-grained execution control, and for better GPU efficiency.

A flexible conductive material includes an elastomer, a conductive agent filled in the elastomer, and an adsorbent fixed inside the elastomer and able to adsorb ionic material. With the flexible conductive material, ionized impurities are unlikely to transfer to an adherend such as a dielectric film. Thus, leakage current during application of voltage decreases. Accordingly, by forming an electrode and a wiring with the flexible conductive material, leakage current can be reduced, and a transducer and a flexible wiring board having excellent durability can be produced. In addition, using the flexible conductive material, an electromagnetic shield can be produced having a small leakage current.

A floating barrel gun design, a design in which a propellant gas discharge is used to counterbalance the recoil force of the gun, has been improved to include a novel automatic mechanical mechanism which allows the floating or inner barrel to be held stationary within the gun while the gas is discharged and after the discharge is complete, the barrel is released to return to its pre-actuation position. The discharge of gas is also made safer by an automatic mechanical mechanism for venting the accumulated gas, and this mechanism is activated as the projectile leaves the gun. The mechanism requires that the gas be discharged into the interior of the gun and the recoil-countering gas streams be directed toward a rearward moving breech block. The gas is discharged automatically during the firing cycle, as the firing chamber pressure falls upon the projectile exit, by venting the compressed gas through passageway nozzles which proceed through the annulus of the floating barrel and are controlled by rotatable metal plates. The discharged gas ultimately exits the gun through spaces in the outer barrel which open to the gas as the breech block moves rearward. To explain the invention, the operating of a handgun is described as the preferred embodiment. The handgun is a result of an integration of the ideas concerning a floating barrel delivery system with conventional ballistic designs.

A method and apparatus is described for parallel debugging on the data nodes of a parallel computer system. A data template associated with the debugger can be used as a reference to the common data on the nodes. The application or data contained on the compute nodes diverges from the data template at the service node during the course of program execution, so that pieces of the data are different at each of the nodes at some time of interest. For debugging, the compute nodes search their own memory image for checksum matches with the template and produces new data blocks with checksums that didn't exist in the data template, and a template of references to the original data blocks in the template. Examples herein include an application of the rsync protocol, compression and network broadcast to improve debugging in a massively parallel computer environment.

A system and method for transmitting content such as electronic mail from a sending electronic device to a recipient electronic device. When content is to be sent, it is first determined whether the sending electronic device possesses a reference content item that has redundancy with the current content item. If so, it is determined whether the recipient electronic device includes a copy of the reference content item. If the recipient electronic device possesses a copy of the reference content item, a compression algorithm is used to compress the current content item, with the compression being based upon the reference content item existing in both the sending electronic device and the recipient electronic device. The compressed current content item is then transmitted to the recipient device, where it is decompressed and made available.
