Title: Method for improving partial stripe write performance in disk array subsystems
Inventor: NEUFELD E DAVID
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1992-12-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving disk performance during partial stripe write operations in a computer system having a disk array subsystem utilizing parity fault tolerance technique. When a partial stripe write generation is begun, the method determines if the area or stripe where the write is to occur is unused space in the file system. If not, the partial stripe write operation is performed using a preceding read operation to read the current data and parity information from the disk as would normally be done. However, if the write area is unused space in the file system, then the contents of the data stripe do not need to be preserved. In this instance, the partial stripe write operation can be performed without any preceding read operations. By obviating the necessity of a preceding read operation, much of the performance penalty of doing a partial stripe write in the case where the rest of the data stripe does not need to be preserved is removed.

Title: Composite bearing material made by powder metalurgy
Inventor: LYTWYNEC MICHAEL D
IPC: B22F7/08
Filed: 1984-11-21
Abstract: An improved process and an improved composite bearing material produced thereby comprising a hard metal backing strip having leaded-bronze bearing lining tenaciously bonded to at least one face surface thereof and wherein the bearing lining is characterized by having the lead constituent thereof substantially uniformly distributed throughout the lining matrix in the form of extremely finesized particles providing improved operating characteristics to the bearing materials fabricated therefrom. In accordance with the process aspects of the present invention, the steel backing strip is provided with a metallic plating composed predominantly of nickel to at least the face on which a prealloyed leaded-bronze powder of a controlled composition is applied and is thereafter sintered at a controlled temperature for a short period of time sufficient to effect a liquid phase sintering of the powder together and the formation of a bond between the powder layer and the metallic plating on the face of the backing strip whereafter the sintered composite strip is cooled and is compacted usually at temperatures below about 300 DEG F. (149  DEG C) to effect a substantially complete densification of the powder layer. The composite strip is again reheated at a controlled temperature and for a brief period of time sufficient to further enhance the physical properties of the bearing lining and to further enhance the strength of the bond between the lining and backing strip under controlled conditions to inhibit growth of the finesized lead particles into undesirable larger particles. The composite strip is thereafter again cooled and may be subjected to a further compaction at moderate warm temperatures to achieve still further densification and to improve the physical properties and sizing of the composite strip.

Title: A method and a device for separation of a surface layer of liquid body
Inventor: STROUCKEN KLAUS
IPC: B04B11/02
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: To clean a relatively heavy liquid from small amounts of relatively light liquid the liquids are first introduced into a container, in which the light liquid is allowed to collect on the surface of the heavy liquid. A surface layer of the liquid body in the container, constituting a mixture of the two liquids, is caused to flow over an overflow outlet member into a collecting chamber. From the collecting chamber the liquid mixture is pumped further into a centrifugal separator, wherein the relatively light liquid is separated from the relatively heavy liquid. According to the invention the liquid mixture is pumped from the collecting chamber to the centrifugal separator through a pumping member, which is connected with a rotor of the centrifugal separator and, thus, rotates therewith.
