In a radio access network (24) a femto radio base station (28_f) comprises a resident receiver (54) which acquires system information broadcast in a radio access network (24). At least part of the system information is used for building, at the femto radio base station (28_f), a neighbor data structure (59) comprising information for neighboring cells. The neighbor data structure (59) is then used for building a neighbor list. The neighbor list is subsequently transmitted from the femto radio base station (28_f) to a user equipment unit (30) served by the femto radio base station (28_f). In some example embodiments and modes, the femto radio base station (28_f) reports the neighbor data structure to a network node (26, 100) other than the femto radio base station. The other node (26, 100) uses the neighbor data structure for building the neighbor list at the other node. In some example embodiments and modes, acquisition of the system information comprises scanning a surrounding macro coverage area of the femto radio base station for obtaining cell identity information for detected cells. In other example embodiments and modes, the acquisition of the system information can additionally comprise camping on a macro cell and using/consulting at least one system information block in the camped-on macro cell is consulted/used for obtaining information about at least one neighboring cell.

The System Select feature provides user selectable modes of operation in a mobile communication station, which allow certain fall-back options when a preferred system may not be available, but still steers the bulk of the system selection operations to preferred systems. In a first user selected mode, the mobile station scans for a broadcast system identifier or "SID" that matches an identifier of a preferred system stored in memory of the station. The second mode allows the user at least one option, which involves selection of a less than preferred system, but with this mode, the mobile station will still make a first attempt to register with a system having a SID matching one stored in memory of the station. A preferred implementation offers the user four system selection options. Options based on stored identifiers include an option to select only the home system, and an option to select from a preferred roaming list (PRL) if the home system is unavailable. In the other two options, if the scanning operations for the home system and systems on the PRL are ineffective, one option involves scanning a band corresponding to that used by the home system. In contrast, the other option involves scanning a band other than that used by the home system. The System Select programming, however, limits the operation in the last optional setting, for example to a set time period or until completion of one call. The preferred embodiment facilitates a substantially one-rate service, where the service provider charges the one rate for all calls through the home system, all systems on the PRL list and any system found during a scan of the home-system band.

Write order fidelity (WOF) is maintained for totally-active implementations wherein a plurality of access nodes at geographically separated sites can concurrently read and/or write data in a “totally active” fashion on a distributed data system. From the hosts' perspective at diverse geographic locations, a synchronous, cache-coherent view of data is provided. Data transfer is asynchronous. A time ordered data image is created and maintained so operations can be restarted after a partial system failure that causes loss of data not yet asynchronously transferred across the network, but that has been write-acknowledged to the originating host. Time ordered asynchronous data transfer is implemented as a pipeline of changes that reflect contributions from all nodes. WOF also improves network performance and lowers bandwidth consumption. Extensions can provide, in a totally-active context, features such as point-in-time snapshots, time firewalls, on-demand backend storage allocation, synchronous/asynchronous distribution of data, and continuous data protection.

A two part system for producing structural reinforcing adhesives is provided wherein one component containing epoxy resin is combined with a second component containing a specified curative system.

When a thermally activated blowing agent is utilized, the resulting foam is remarkably uniform in cell structure and has improved strength and modulus. Hollow inorganic microspheres are employed to reduce the density of the thermoset produced from the two part system.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a system having a controller to monitor in a communication system bandwidth utilization by CPE, detect bandwidth utilization by the CPE that exceeds a bandwidth utilization limit, reconfigure a portion of the communication system to accommodate the increase in bandwidth utilization by the CPE, and generate a mitigation plan directed to a user of the CPE to address the increased bandwidth utilization by the CPE. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method of managing power in a data processing system includes monitoring a system parameter indicative of power consumption. Responsive to determining that the parameter differs from a specified threshold, a system guest, such as an operating system, is forced to release a portion of its allocated system memory. The portion of system memory released by the guest is then reclaimed by the system. The reclaimed system memory and the resulting decrease in allocated memory may enable the system to reduce system memory power consumption. The operating system may de-allocate a portion of system memory when a balloon code device driver executing under the operating system requests the operating system to allocate memory to it. The system memory allocated to the balloon device driver is then reclaimed by supervisory code such as a hypervisor.

Disclosed are a system, a method, and a computer program product to provide for the optimization of the output transfer load balance between the peer computers transferring data to one or more storage devices. The peer computers receive, organize and transfer the data to storage devices. The data set is composed of a plurality of data transfers. After an initial division of the data transfers between the two peers, each peer will have assigned responsibility for a number of data transfers. If the one of the peer computers completes offloading transactions earlier than the other peer, then the peer that is still transferring data will employ the other peer to execute a portion of the remaining data transfers. The operation of the system is symmetrical in that either peer may assist the other peer depending upon which peer has idle time. In addition the operation is autonomous and self-adjusting resulting in the peer nodes optimizing the size of the portion of data transfers that are reassigned during the operation of the invention resulting in the minimization of idle time for either peer. The self-adjusting feature allows the system to react to changing conditions that affect data transfer rates to the storage devices.

A replication system rapidly switches from a normal-system site to a standby-system site in the event of a problem and reliably maintains functions, and moreover, reduces drops in performance. A first site provides system functions that accompany writing and reading of data. A relay transfer device receives update information from the first site, causes completion of processes for replication in the first site, and continuously executes processes for successively transferring the update information to a second site. The second site receives the update information of the first site and applies this update information to itself to retain a replica of the data of the first site. If, when executing a write request command or a read request command to provide at least a portion of the system functions, the second site has not yet retained the most recent data that are the target of the command, the second site acquires the necessary update information and then executes the command.

Method and material for wrapping items using a wrapping material made up of separate wrapping portions of a predetermined length. The wrapping portions are attached and released at their ends using a Z-lock system including a discrete laminate. The discrete laminate of the Z-lock system holds the wrapping portions together during manufacturing but can also easily release or separate the wrapping portions at a desired point in the wrapping process. The separating of the wrapping portions exposes an adhesive that is use to securely bond at least one wrapping portion to the item being wrapped at the end of a wrapping cycle.

Embodiments of a method and system for saving system context after a power outage are disclosed herein. A power agent operates to reduce the possibility of data corruption due to partially written data during an unexpected power outage. The power agent can determine an amount of time remaining before a power store is depleted. Based on the amount of time, the power agent can store system context information. Correspondingly, the power agent can operate to save complete system context, partial system context, or flush (I/O) buffers. Once power is restored, the power agent can restore the system context based on the nature of the save. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The invention discloses an uplink access method, a terminal and a base station. The uplink access method includes the steps: according to the obtained access configuration information, requesting uplink access to one or more first base stations, by means of a terminal; receiving the related information of uplink access, returned from the one or more first base stations, wherein the related information of uplink access contains the related information of downlink synchronization, for performing downlink synchronization; and according to the obtained related information of uplink access, selecting a first base station for performing uplink access. The technical scheme of the uplink access method enables the terminal to complete uplink access and complete downlink synchronization with the selected one or more first base stations at the same time, and can obtain part of the system information of the accessed first base station. Therefore, one or more first base stations do not need sending synchronization signals and the part of system information periodically, so that the system consumption caused by sending of the synchronization signals and the system information can be greatly reduced and the system resource can be saved.

To improve the performance of a pulse width modulator, a delay line having number of delay elements receives a pulse signal from the final clock cycle prior to the generation of the trailing edge of the pulse width modulator signal. Each delay element delays the pulse signal a fraction of the system clock cycle. By controlling the number of delay elements prior to the application of the pulse to the trailing edge-generating component, the trailing edge can be adjusted by increments of the clock cycle determined by the number of delay elements. Because parameters of delay elements can vary, a technique for the calibration of the delay line circuit is disclosed.

The inventive system provides a distributed data processing system for performing data-related task implemented with a scalable hub and spoke architecture. The advantageous hub-and-spoke architecture comprises a central “hub” system site connected, through one or more high speed communication links, to one or more spoke systems, each of which may be located at a remote spoke system (which may be geographically dispersed from one another). While some information technology infrastructure is necessary for both the hub and the spoke systems, the expensive data processing and control systems, for implementing the majority of the system architecture, and where the majority of automated processing occurs, are concentrated at the hub location. Thus, most of the critical data processing activities are centralized at the hub system, while other activities that either must be performed, or are advantageous to be performed at a particular remote location, are executed by one or more spoke systems. Information generated from localized spoke system operations is transmitted to the hub system through communication links and other types of data or requested work can likewise be readily transmitted from the hub system to one or more spoke systems in real time.

The invention, which belongs to the compression processing technology field after collection of mass process data in a flow factory, relates to a method for realizing high efficient data compression in a rapid data management system. The compression method has the following steps that: according to a data type and a value range of process data, basic compression of types is carried out on the process data; a change point storage method with an adaptive threshold is employed; and a segmentation paging type time storage method is utilized. Advantages of the method provided in the invention are as follows: a mode in which process data are directly stored into a database during a general system sampling process is abandoned; instead, compression processing is directly carried out on a process data file, so that a binary file is formed; therefore, high efficient compression on a historical data file is realized and storage space is also effectively saved.

A system for controlling a centrifugal gas compressor (108) in an HVAC, refrigeration or liquid chiller system (100) in which flow of gas through the compressor is automatically controlled to maintain desired parameters within predetermined ranges so as to prevent stall and surge conditions within the system. A variable geometry diffuser (119) in the compressor controls the refrigerant gas flow at the discharge of the compressor impeller wheel (201). This arrangement reduces mass flow, decrease/eliminate flow-reducing stall, and increases the operating efficiency of the compressor at partial load conditions. The variable geometry diffuser control in combination with a variable speed drive (VSD) (120) increases the efficiency of the compressor at partial system loads, and eliminates the need for pre-rotation vanes at the inlet of the centrifugal compressor.

A method for creating a non-linear, stationary or dynamic overall model of a control variable of a combustion engine or partial systems thereof is based on simplified partial model functions that are used to determine in a weighted fashion at each desired operating point the total output quantities from the partial model function with an associated weighting function. The difference between the total output quantity and the real value is determined for all real operating points; and in areas of operating points with an absolute value of this difference that is above the preset value, a further model function with a further associated weighting function is used for which the absolute value of the difference stays below the preset value.

The steps for determining the difference between the total output quantity of the associated partial model functions and a real value of the control value as well as the application of a further model and weighting function are executed as many times as needed until the statistically evaluated prediction quality of the overall model has reached a desired value.

A distributed operator cooling system is provided for a work vehicle. The system includes a primary circuit and a secondary loop. The primary circuit is a conventional A/C circuit having a compressor, a condenser, a receiver/dryer and an expansion valve. The secondary loop includes a coolant pump and a plurality of coolant-air heat exchangers each having a blower fan associated therewith. The secondary loop is coupled to the primary circuit by way of a coolant-refrigerant heat exchanger wherein the coolant of the secondary loop is chilled. Chilled coolant is circulated to the coolant-air heat exchangers by coolant lines and back to the pump and coolant-refrigerant heat exchanger by return lines. The coolant lines are routed through the wall of an operator's enclosure. At least one of the coolant-air heat exchangers is located in the forward area of the operator's enclosure in a front console of the vehicle substantially in front of the operator. A pair of coolant-air heat exchangers are located above and on either side, forward or aft of the operator's head. Additional heat exchangers can be provided at additional locations within the confines of the operator's enclosure for further distributed cooling and/or to compensate for potential hot spots within the cab. The blower fans associated with each coolant-air heat exchanger can be individually controlled to optimize the flow of air through the exchanger according to the needs of the operator. The use of multiple compact coolant-air heat exchangers positioned at multiple locations within the operator's enclosure allows for more efficient cooling than possible with a single large heat exchanger. The use of a secondary loop system allows for locating most of the system components remotely from the operators enclosure thereby reducing the risk of refrigerant contact with the operator and allows refrigerant lines to be shortened so as to improve the efficiency of the refrigerant cycle.
