Abstract:
A method for sanitizing an electric motor is provided. The method includes setting operational parameters for the electric motor for destroying targeted microbes; and energizing the electric motor using the set operational parameters. Computer program products and an electric motor are disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided are a method, system, and program for querying a plurality of adaptors in a system. A request is received to determine connection information for the adaptors in the system. A master task spawns a plurality of tasks to query the adaptors. Each spawned task updates adaptor information with information gathered from querying the adaptor. If no tasks are available to query at least one adaptor that has not been queried, then the master task queries one adaptor and updates the adaptor information with information gathered by querying the adaptor.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for selecting status data. Redundant views are obtained from multiple synchronous redundant devices. It is determined that the redundant views from the multiple synchronous redundant devices are conflicting. A redundant view score is calculated for each of the redundant views based on one or more characteristics from each of at least two characteristic types, wherein the characteristics are associated with weighted scores. One of the redundant views is selected based on the calculated redundant view score for each of the redundant views.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program product are provided for increasing the level of protection for data in a redundant storage system. A non-catastrophic error in a component in a redundant storage system is detected. Then, data exposed by the non-catastrophic error is identified and unallocated space in a storage device which is not exposed to the non-catastrophic error is reserved. The exposed data is then migrated from its original storage space to the reserved storage space. Even though it may take a number of hours for recovery of the system to be completed, data is less exposed to the risk of a second failure occurring before the first can be repaired.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for network authentication and content distribution. The apparatus includes an authentication module configured to receive redirected network requests over a communications network from a firewall module and configured to present a user license agreement and not require user-identifiable information, and a content distribution module configured to synchronize over the communications network with a client module and transmit content to the client module. The system includes a firewall module connected with a global communications network, a network connected with the firewall module, a computing device configured to couple with the network, and the apparatus. The method includes receiving redirected network requests over a communications network from a firewall module, presenting a user license agreement and not requiring user-identifiable information, and synchronizing over the communications network with a client module and transmitting content to the client module.
