Abstract: A file system executing on a computing system is configured to efficiently manage and store data on a tiered storage volume using hybrid media that includes a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) data store, such as an SMR disk drive, and a randomly-writable data store, such as a conventional magnetic recording (CMR) disk or solid-state drive (SSD) using flash memory. Write operations in the SMR disk are performed in a sequential manner to optimize storage density on the disk. The file system utilizes logic incorporated in an allocator that monitors I/O operations on the computing system - for example, write requests from applications executing on the system - to determine if a request is associated with file data or metadata. If the request is for metadata, then the allocator allocates space on the SSD/CMR for the metadata, and if the request is for file data, then space is allocated on the SMR disk.

IPC: A61K38/21

Abstract: Monocytopoiesis is a hematological process that supplies the periphery with monocytes and subsequently with macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Typically, monocytes circulate in the bloodstream for a very short time before undergoing apoptosis, however, stimulatory signals can trigger monocyte survival by inhibiting the apoptotic pathway, and thus contribute to the maintenance of the inflammatory response. Accordingly, there is a need for methods and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating monocytopoiesis. Now, the inventors show that type I interferons signaling promote the differentiation of monocyte- derived phagocytes at the level of their progenitors. Importantly, IFN-alpha and -beta were found to efficiently generate the development of monocyte-derived antigen-presenting cells while having no impact on the precursor activity of conventional dendritic cells. Accordingly, modulators of type I interferon (e.g. neutralizing antibodies or type I IFN polypeptides) would be suitable for modulating monocytopoiesis in subjects in need thereof.

Patent EP-3724372-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VALANT MATJAZ
IPC: C25B1/02
Filed: 2018-09-18
Abstract: The method includes two technological segments (i) a reduction segment and (ii) an oxidation segment that are interconnected by various support technological processes for the regeneration of solutions and gases and heat recuperation. The reduction segment includes an electrolysis that is performed from a solution of chloride salts of an energy carrier. During the electrolysis, these elements reduce to a lower oxidation state, solidify on the electrodes or precipitate to a solid state. The solid substance thus obtained is the energy carrier that can be stored outside of the electrolyser until a need for additional energy emerges. During the electrolysis, chlorine gas develops that is collected and dissolved in water. An HC1 solution is regenerated, which is used in the oxidation segment. Oxygen is released in this process. The energy that has thus been stored in the oxidation potential of the energy carrier is released during a spontaneous chemical reaction between the energy carrier and the HC1 solution in the oxidation segment. In this chemical reaction, the oxidation state of the chemical elements which constitute the energy carrier is increased to an oxidation state identical to that from before the beginning of the electrolysis. The reaction product hydrogen is formed that represents a high calorific fuel. This fuel can be immediately converted to heat or electrical energy, without a need for intermediate storage, by known methods. Only water enters the entire method, oxygen and hydrogen leave, while the cycle is closed/cyclic for the remaining substances.
