Method and apparatus for election of group leaders in a distributed network

The present invention provides a system and apparatus for efficient and reliable, control and distribution of data files in large-scale distributed networks. The members of a group of servers in a multicast network elect a group leader whenever a new group leader is required, as when the prior group leader become unavailable, as detected by absence of a periodic heartbeat message published by the leader. The election is carried out by a system of voting by each candidate whereby each candidate has a priority calculated from its configuration, and the server with the highest priority is configured to claim the leadership faster than the other candidates. As part of the claim, each candidate multicasts its priority. Each candidate that receives a multicast claim for leadership from another candidate compares its own priority against the claimant and only votes for itself if its own priority is higher. After a preconfigured period of hearing no other claimants with higher priority, the candidate with the highest priority becomes the new leader.

Non-volatile semiconductor memory

A non-volatile semiconductor device has a memory cell array having electrically erasable programmable non-volatile memory cells, reprogramming and retrieval circuits that temporarily store data to be programmed in the memory cell array and sense data retrieved from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a first latch and a second latch that are selectively connected to the memory cell array and transfer data each other. A controller controls the reprogramming and retrieval circuits on data-reprogramming operation to and data-retrieval operation from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a multilevel logical operation mode and a caching operation mode. In the multilevel logical operation mode, re-programming and retrieval of upper and lower bits of two-bit four-level data is performed using the first and the second latches in storing the two-bit four-level data in one of the memory cells in a predetermined threshold level range. In the caching operation mode, data transfer between one of the memory cells selected in accordance with a first address and the first latch is performed while data transfer is performed between the second latch and input / output terminals in accordance with a second address with respect to one-bit two-level data to be stored in one of the memory cells.

System for creating and distributing prioritized list of computer nodes selected as participants in a distribution job

The present invention provides a system and apparatus for efficient and reliable, control and distribution of data files or portions of files, applications, or other data objects in large-scale distributed networks. A unique content-management front-end provides efficient controls for triggering distribution of digitized data content to selected groups of a large number of remote computer servers. Network distribution messages are dispatched according to a sorted list of servers, based on factors such as nearness, server processor speed, reliability, and CPU Usage. For large numbers of servers, a store-and-forward approach becomes much more efficient. A first selected server receives the message from a content control manager (CCM). The first server requests instructions for the next server listed on an ordered list in the CCM and forwards a copy of that message to the next identified server. Each server reports its completion and requests further instructions from the CCM. This mechanism permits highly efficient and robust distribution of assignments and data content from the CCM to each required GL using a store-and-forward tree structure.

Optimizing multi-hit caching for long tail content

Some embodiments provide an optimized multi-hit caching technique that minimizes the performance impact associated with caching of long-tail content while retaining much of the efficiency and minimal overhead associated with first hit caching in determining when to cache content. The optimized multi-hit caching utilizes a modified bloom filter implementation that performs flushing and state rolling to delete indices representing stale content from a bit array used to track hit counts without affecting identification of other content that may be represented with indices overlapping with those representing the stale content. Specifically, a copy of the bit array is stored prior to flushing the bit array so as to avoid losing track of previously requested and cached content when flushing the bit arrays and the flushing is performed to remove the bit indices representing stale content from the bit array and to minimize the possibility of a false positive.

USB upstream device, USB connector, and USB cable

It is an object to provide a USB upstream device, a USB connector, and a USB cable, capable of operating stably by preventing malfunction due to a signal line defined as a high impedance state depending on a data transmission mode in the USB upstream device, when inserting or removing the USB upstream device into or from the USB. In a USP upstream device 1, a switch circuit 11 is provided between a signal line D− and grounding voltage. When the USB upstream device 1 is connected to the USB, power is supplied through VBUS line in the USB cable and the signal line D− is cut off from the grounding voltage. When cut off from the USB, the power supply through the VBUS line is cut off, and the switch circuit 11 conducts. Then, a discharge route is established. Unnecessary charge such as leak current or the like is discharged to the grounding voltage through the switch circuit 11. As a result, in a state separated from the USB, a voltage level of the signal line D− is maintained at a low voltage level.

Implantable cardiac stimulation device having optimized AV/PV delays for improved atrial kick during automatic capture and threshold determinations

An improved device and method for performing automatic capture / threshold determination that is particularly useful in an implantable cardiac stimulation device. While conventional devices use a fixed shortening of the AV / PV delays during automatic capture / threshold determinations, any shortening can unnecessarily cause discomfort to patients with heart blocks and unnecessarily diminish the atrial kick for other patients. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention periodically measure the AR / PR conduction times and tabulate and / or otherwise process this data. Preferably, these measured conduction times are also correlated with the current heart rate. Finally, when an automatic capture / threshold determination occurs, this measured conduction data, which corresponds to this patient, is used to adjust the AV / PV delays while minimizing patient discomfort and adverse hemodynamic effects. Alternatively, the AV / PV delays may be manually programmable by a medical practitioner.

Semiconductor memory device, and read method and read circuit for the same

In a semiconductor memory device operative to discharge residual charge in a read bit line in a read cycle, the bit line is in the reset state at all times except during read operation. The reset state of a bit line is canceled when selected and connected to a read circuit for read, and information stored in a selected memory cell is read via the selected bit line. Upon completion of the read of the memory cell, the selected bit line is disconnected from the read circuit and reset to thereby complete discharge of residual charge in the read bit line prior to read operation in the next cycle. This ensures that during read determination operation in the next read cycle, the potential of a selected bit line will not vary with the bit line residual discharge in the previous read cycle.
