Abstract:
Metadata may be stored in, and retrieved from, a scalable, fault-tolerant metadata service. In one example, metadata is divided into partitions, and each partition is served by one or more nodes. For each partition, a first one of the nodes may handle read and write requests, and the other nodes may handle read requests in the event that the first node is down or is experiencing high load. When a request is made with respect to metadata, a metadata server may identify a node, in the partition to which the metadata is assigned, to which the request is to be made. The entity that is making the request then contacts that node, and requests the read or write on the metadata. In a partition, metadata may be replicated between the first node and the other nodes using a log-based replication protocol.
Abstract:
A current collection apparatus and its method of processing for a solid oxide fuel cell, which mainly includes using screen printing process to print conductive adhesive onto the surface of the electrode of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), forming a current collection layer with drying process, using an appropriate amount of conductive adhesive to paste a conductive wire onto the current collection layer, forming an adhesion layer through drying, fixing the conductive wire on the electrode surface with an appropriate amount of ceramic adhesive, and forming a fixing layer after baking. A good connection is hence made between metal conductive wire and electrode through current collection layer, not only the interface impedance between electrode and current collection layer can be reduced effectively, but also the output power density of the SOFC unit cell can be enhanced, and stable as well as long term power output can be provided.
Abstract:
One or more devices in a visual voicemail system voicemail notification messages indicating voicemails are available for a user of the visual voicemail system and distribute the voicemail notification messages to a network device. The one or more devices receive an indication of a backlog processing requests for the visual voicemail system and stop, based on the indication, distributing the voicemail notification messages to the network device. After the stopping, the one or more devices receive another indication that the backlog processing requests for the visual voicemail system no longer exists and resume, based on the other indication, distributing the voicemail notification messages to the network device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an algebraic approach to quantum circuit design based on using a GSVD (Generalized Singular Value Decomposition) to map a unitary matrix, representing a desired quantum computation, into a product of block diagonal unitary matrices, each of which can then be mapped into equivalent circuit fragments. The invention describes a number of rules allowing such circuits to be compactified.
Abstract:
A process is provided for the preparation of a metallic oxide composite including mixing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble metal compound and colloidal silica, depositing the mixture upon a substrate, heating the mixture-coated substrates at temperatures from about 150° C. to about 300° C. for time sufficient to form a metallic oxide film, and, removing the silica from the metallic oxide film whereby a porous metal oxide structure is formed.
Abstract:
A metallic golf club wood head includes a face crust, a crown crust and a sole and side crust combined together with a hosel, wherein a face-enhancing member is integrally extended from a front edge of the crown downwardly or from a front edge of the sole and side crust upwardly and the face crust can be precisely and easily mounted on the face-enhancing member. Moreover, the loft angle of the face crust can be adjusted simply by altering the inclined angle of the face-enhancing member, which can be easily adjusted by simply folding inwardly or outwardly with respect to the crown crust or the to sole and side crust. In addition, the face-enhancing member is positioned with respect to the sweet spot of the face crust so as to better support and enhance impacting of the sweet spot.
Abstract:
An energy-saving desalination system, used for obtaining a salt water from a salt-water source and desalinating to generate a fresh water, and the system includes: a salt-water magnetizing device disposed at an intake for magnetizing the salt water to generate a magnetized salt water; a salt-water filtering device coupled to the salt-water magnetizing device for filtering the magnetized salt water; a salt-water preheating device coupled to the salt-water filtering device for heating the magnetized salt water to reach a middle temperature; a salt-water reheating device coupled to the salt-water preheating device for heating the magnetized salt water to maintain in a higher temperature range; a nebulization device coupled to the salt-water reheating device to nebulize the magnetized salt water having a higher temperature into a mixing fog; and a condensing device coupled to the nebulization device to extract a fresh water from the mixing fog. Wherein a condensation water required by the condensing device is a salt water extracted from the salt-water source.

Abstract:
A golf-club head has a first half of shaped crown integrally including skirt and a hosel connection having a hosel attachment opening. A second half is a bottom plate having an integral striking face with built-in angle of loft so that the two halves are welded together providing solder leakage concentrating on the lower part of the head. A hosel is welded to the crown at the hosel connection.
