20080302670 | Hydrogen Generator - A generator produces variable output of hydrogen and oxygen from electrolysis of water as a fuel supplement for combustion of hydrocarbon fuel. The generator includes an electrolytic reactor having a sealed cathode chamber partially filled with an electrolyte solution, and an anode immersed within the solution and electrically isolated from the chamber. A level sensor and reservoir maintain solution levels in one or more reactors configured in electrolyte communication. A source of electrical power energizes reactors responsive to changing combustion demand. A cooling system cools the reactors to allow the generator to operate at high amperage. An optional controller shifts reactor duty cycles to equalize reactor service over time. Gases produced in reactor air space above solution level are drawn or pumped to a combustion chamber to combine with hydrocarbon fuel and air. The combination results in greater combustion efficiency and reduces harmful emissions. | 12-11-2008 |

20110221497 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MINIMIZING SKEW BETWEEN SIGNALS - Delay associated with each of two signals along respective transmission paths is accurately measured using a delay measurement circuit that is fabricated in situ on the actual device where the circuitry for propagating the two signals is fabricated. Thus, the measured delay associated with each of the two signals is subject to the same fabrication-dependent attributes that affect the actual circuitry through which the two signals will be propagated during operation of the device. The skew between the two signals is quantified as the difference in the measured delays. Coarse and fine delay modules are defined within the transmission path of each of the two signals. Based on the measured skew between the two signals, the coarse and fine delay modules are appropriately set to compensate for the skew. The appropriately settings for the coarse and fine delay modules can be stored in non-volatile memory elements. | 09-15-2011 |

20150186045 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA IN MULTI-STORAGE SYSTEMS THAT CAN INCLUDE NON-VOLATILE AND VOLATILE STORAGES - Techniques for management of data in multi-storage systems allow managing storage of data in a first storage of multiple storages in a multi-storage system based on the temperature of the data (or data temperature) obtained for a second storage of the multiple storages in a multi-storage system. For example, in a multi-storage system that includes at least one non-volatile storage (e.g., one or more HDDs) and at least one volatile storage (e.g., a cache memory device), the storage of a particular data portion (e.g., a storage unit of data) for the at least one volatile storage can be managed based on a temperature of the data determined for the non-volatile storage. By way of example, persistent temperatures used for management of data in a non-volatile storage system (e.g., a multi-tier storage of a database system) can be used to effectively manage the storage of the data in a cache memory that is typically provided for improving performance by keeping data that is likely to be used in the cache memory. As a result, overall performance of a system can be further enhanced by allowing persistent temperature measurements to be used in managing cache memory, instead of solely relying on conventional techniques for caching data which typically do not take into account persistent temperatures associated with a non-volatile storage environment. | 07-02-2015 |
20150186046 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA IN MULTI-STORAGE SYSTEMS THAT CAN INCLUDE NON-VOLATILE AND VOLATILE STORAGES - Techniques for management of data in multi-storage systems allow managing storage of data in one of the multiple storages (e.g., a HDD) based on the information associated with the storage and/or access of data (e.g., logical hits of data in a cache memory) in another one of the storages (e.g., a cache memory) of the multi-storage system. In one aspect, information associated with storage and/or access of data in a volatile (or non-persistent) storage environment is provided for managing the storage of data in a non-volatile (or persistent) storage environment. By way of example, data access information associated with a volatile storage environment (e.g., logical hits of data in a cache) can be effectively communicated to a non-volatile storage environment, for example, as information that can be indicative of data temperatures. Moreover, the information obtained from a non-volatile storage environment can be persistently stored for and/or in the non-volatile environment (e.g., stored as persistent data temperatures), thereby preserving and allowing the information to be used to more effectively manage the storage of the data in the non-volatile storage itself and/or the multi-storage system including the (volatile storage) as a whole. | 07-02-2015 |
20150186047 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA IN MULTI-STORAGE SYSTEMS THAT CAN INCLUDE NON-VOLATILE AND VOLATILE STORAGES - A combination of non-persistent-based and persistent-based schemes are used to effectively manage volatile storages which are conventionally managed solely by using non-persistent schemes (e.g., LRU schemes in cache memory). Generally, the persistent-based schemes can be based on persistent information associated with a non-volatile storage environment (e.g., persistent data temperatures associated with data stored in non-volatile storages). In this context, a persistent-based scheme can, for example, be effectively used in addition or combination with a conventional scheme provided for volatile memory. By way of example, a LRU scheme can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures in order to more effectively manage cache memory provided to enhance the performance of a system. As another example, a LRU, a LFU aging schemes can be combined with a scheme based on persistent data temperatures. | 07-02-2015 |
