Non-uniform system load balance method and apparatus for updating threshold of tasks according to estimated load fluctuation
InactiveUS6026425AMinimize response timeGuaranteed effective useResource allocationMultiple digital computer combinationsUniform systemRing network
A load balancing method and apparatus are provided, by which loads in a wide range of the entire system can be balanced with a small overhead with respect to load balancing processing, and the mean response time of the entire system can be shortened. The method has the steps of (i) estimating a load of the present node based on the number of tasks being or waiting to be processed and determining an estimated load value of the node; (ii) accepting a task passing through a logical ring network, and every time a task is accepted, comparing the estimated load value and a threshold value which is set with respect to the number of tasks existing in the node so as to limit the load of the node; and (iii) judging, based on a result of the comparison, whether the accepted task is handed over to a task processing unit, or is transmitted to the logical ring network again without handing over the task to the task processing unit. The threshold value may be changed in accordance with a change of the number of tasks passing through the logical ring network during a fixed period, or when a round trip task is detected.

Content procurement architecture
InactiveUS20080155016A1Minimize response timeEnhance client interestMultiple digital computer combinationsTransmissionSchema for Object-Oriented XMLComputer science
There is provided an architecture (system and method) to accelerate web response time and to provide a level platform to meet the interests from both providers and users of content. The concept of user object is introduced to present user interests or disinterests. If a user's browser has already cached a particular provider object, then a corresponding user object indicates that the user is not interested in that object. Otherwise, a user can indicate his / her interests in objects specified either by a set of criteria or explicit description of objects. The web response is accelerated by generalization of the split-proxy architecture of content networking. The user is represented by the user proxy and browser proxy 34. Unlike the traditional content delivery architecture, the content procurement architecture pushes user interests close to the provider sites and minimizes the request-response time between the user proxy and the provider proxy. The request-response sequence is accelerated by pipelining and minimizing all unnecessary stop-and-wait actions.

InactiveUS20120024669A1Low costShorten the timeConveyorsControl devices for conveyorsLeading edgeEngineering
A motorized drive roller conveyor includes an upstream zone and a downstream zone, with each zone having a drive roller, an idler roller that is driven by the drive roller, and a sensor. The upstream zone and the downstream zone are controlled by a card, which measures a gap between a first item on the conveyor and a second item on the conveyor by beginning a counter when a trailing edge of the first item passes the sensor of the upstream zone and stopping the counter when a leading edge of the second item passes the sensor of the upstream zone to generate a counter value. If the first item is stopped in the downstream zone, the card of the upstream zone causes the drive roller of the upstream zone to advance the second item into the downstream zone for a distance derived from the counter value before stopping the transportation of the second item.

The Direct Electric Resistance Liquid Heater comprises a liquid heating chamber containing a plurality of electrodes. The electrodes are spaced apart to create a plurality of channels through which the liquid to be heated passes. The electrodes are each connected to a power supply by one or more switches. A controller controls the switches based upon data received from a temperature sensor, sensing the temperature of the liquid, and / or an electric current sensor, sensing the current utilized by the liquid heater. Selection of the number and spacing of the electrodes, and the number of switches, provides the controller with various current levels options to apply to the liquid to be heated. The current levels available due to the number and spacing of the electrodes and the number of switches, span the range from minimum current to maximum current such that the controller can incrementally increase or decrease the current applied to the liquid to be heated without disrupting other users of the same power source.

Early hash join
InactiveUS20060288030A1Fast response timeRapid productionDigital data information retrievalDigital data processing detailsHash joinParallel computing
Minimizing both the response time to produce the first few thousand results and the overall execution time is important for interactive querying. Current join algorithms either minimize the execution time at the expense of response time or minimize response time by producing results early without optimizing the total time. Disclosed herein is a hash-based join algorithm, called early hash join, which can be dynamically configured at any point during join processing to tradeoff faster production of results for overall execution time. Varying how inputs are read has a major effect on these two factors and provide formulas that allow an optimizer to calculate the expected rate of join output and the number of I / O operations performed using different input reading strategies.

An apparatus and method is described for improving access to mostly read data on network servers. The preferred embodiments more efficiently utilize replicated data servers to minimize server response time for improved performance of data access to network servers by workload managing client requests across the primary server and all replicated servers when it is possible to do so. In preferred embodiments, a load balancer supplies the most current data for mostly read data transactions while maximizing server usage by workload managing client requests across the primary server and all replicated servers. Client requests are managed by a load balancer in the workload manager. Client requests are sent by the load balancer to replicated servers when a routing table (stale data marker list) indicates that the data is in a safe period. Clients are directed exclusively to the primary server only during data update times.

Fluent control valve
InactiveUS6988705B1Eliminates thrust variationLow costValve members for absorbing fluid energyPipe elementsFluid controlEngineering
A continuously variable fluent control valve for controlling supersonic flow of gas. The valve has an upper plate with a very slightly angled physical control surface and a lower plate with a physical nozzle inlet. As the valve opens and closes during supersonic flow, a hydrodynamic pintle forms in the nozzle inlet just below the physical control surface. The hydrodynamic pintle provides a fluid control surface for redirecting flow from horizontal fllow to vertical flow through the nozzle and, depending on the expansion needs of the supersonic flow, the hydrodynamic pintle changes shape, expanding or shrinking in the axial direction of the valve. Because of the nearly flat physical control surface of the upper plate, matieral ablation is significantly reduced. The fluid-fluid boundary between the hydrodynamic pintle and the supersonic flow produces a flow through the nozzle with little or no recirculation.
