Abstract: A data storage subsystem that includes three data storage units, three check storage units, and an array controller coupled to the three data and three check storage units can tolerate failure of any three data and check storage units failures can be occur before data stored on the data storage subsystem is lost. Information is stored on the data storage subsystem as a symmetric Maximum Distance Separation code, such as Winograd code, a Reed Solomon code, an EVENODD code or a derivative of an EVENODD code. The array controller determines the contents of the check storage units so that any three erasures of the data storage units and the check storage units can be corrected by the array controller. The array controller updates a block of data contained in any one of the data storage units and the check storage units using only six IO operations.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des méthodes pour démarrer un dispositif de communications mobile. Le dispositif de communications mobile est actionné par un utilisateur du dispositif. Le dispositif comprend un périphérique de sortie pour émettre un signal sensible. Un périphérique d'entrée reçoit une entrée utilisateur de l'utilisateur du dispositif. Une sonnerie reçoit une heure et une date d'entrée au moyen du périphérique d'entrée et détermine une heure et une date rajustées. L'heure et la date rajustées comprennent l'heure et la date d'entrée moins un temps d'amorce prévu pour le dispositif. La sonnerie fait également en sorte que le périphérique de sortie émette un signal sensible à l'heure et à la date d'entrée. Une composante de l'horloge système surveille une heure et une date actuelles lorsque le dispositif se trouve dans un état de faible puissance ou bloqué et démarre un processus d'amorce lorsque l'heure et la date actuelles correspondent à l'heure et à la date rajustées. Le processus d'amorce est terminé avant l'heure et la date d'entrée afin de permettre à la sonnerie d'émettre le signal sensible à l'heure et à la date d'entrée.

Title: Automation and optimization of crrt treatment using regional citrate anticoagulation
Inventor: LANNOY JEAN-MICHEL
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2006-09-22
Granted: 2014-08-05
Abstract: A system or method automates and optimizes citrate anticoagulant supplementation in a blood filtration circuit during CRRT. A processor-based control system interfaces with a blood filtration circuit to detect patient blood flow into the circuit, detect fluid loss through a hemofilter, and sense vital electrolyte concentrations in the blood flow, and in response, control the addition of citrate, substitution fluid, and electrolyte supplements to ensure stability of plasma concentrations in post-dilution flow returned to the patient. The controller executes the method embodied as process control algorithms for calculating an optimal citrate flow rate as a function of selected, detected, and calculated system parameters. Citrate may be added to the circuit separately, or as part of a substitution solution or a dialysate.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus for manufacturing a gas barrier plastic container that, in order to reduce the cost of the apparatus in the manufacture of a gas barrier plastic container, can simultaneously meet the requirements that an identical vacuum chamber can be used even in the case of a different container shape, the need to use a high-frequency power supply can be eliminated, and a film can be formed on a plurality of containers within one vacuum chamber. In an apparatus for forming a film on the inner surface of a container, a thermal catalyst is supported on a starting material gas feed pipe, and the starting material gas feed pipe is inserted into the port of the container, followed by film formation. In an apparatus for forming a film on the outer surface of a container, a thermal catalyst is disposed around the container, and a starting material gas is blown out through the starting material gas feed pipe while bringing the starting material gas into contact with the thermal catalyst for film formation. Cooling is carried out to avoid thermal deformation of the container by heat radiated from the thermal catalyst. For example, a container on which a hydrogen-containing SiNx thin film having a film thickness of 5 to 100 nm and having a hydrogen content of 1 to 10 atomic% has been formed, is obtained.

Abstract: Phrases in a corpus of documents including stopwords are found using a data processor arranged to execute phrase queries. Memory stores an index structure which maps entries in the index structure to documents in the corpus. Entries in the index structure represent words and other entries represent stopwords found in the corpus coalesced with prefixes of respective adjacent words adjacent to the stopwords. The prefixes comprise one or more leading characters of the respective adjacent words. A query processor forms a modified query by substituting a stopword with a search token representing the stopword coalesced with a prefix of the next word in the query. The processor executes the modified query. Also, index structures including coalesced stopwords are created and maintained.
