In a first step, file access information describing a pattern of each of a plurality of computer files that have been accessed in a computer file system may be collected. In a second step, the file access information may be processed to generate a file access performance cost statistic for each of the plurality of computer files, where the file access performance cost statistic may be a measure of the time aggregate effect on the computing facility's system performance associated with the access of the file. In a third step, the file access performance cost statistic may be maintained for each of the plurality of files accessed by the computing facility. In a fourth step, the file access performance cost mapping of the computing facility's file system relating to the plurality of computer file may be generated, where the file access performance cost mapping may provide an indication of which of the plurality of files in the file system produce the greatest time aggregate file access effect based on the computing facility's system performance. Finally, in a fifth step, files from the computer file system may be pre-scanned based on the file access performance cost mapping. In embodiments, pre-scanning may access at least one of the plurality of files for scanning prior to the file being called for a use, such as by an operating system, an application, a utility program, and the like. The step of pre-scanning may be performed during periods of low computing facility processing activity, and may result in a reduced need to scan the computer file when the computer file is accessed for use. | 09-23-2010 |

20120038280 | HIGH COLOUR QUALITY LUMINAIRE - A colour tunable lighting module is described which includes at least three solid state lighting emitters (such as light emitting diodes) and at least two wavelength converting elements (such as phosphors). The three solid state lighting emitters are formed of the same semiconductor material system and the light generated by them has dominant wavelengths in the blue-green-orange range of the optical spectrum. The two wavelengths converters are used re-emit some of the light from two of the emitters in broader spectra having longer dominant wavelengths, while the third emitter is selected to emit light at a wavelength between the dominant wavelengths of the light from the two emitters and the two converters. A control system may be employed to monitor and control the module and the lighting module can be optimised for tunable high colour quality white light applications. | 02-16-2012 |

20090195273 | START-UP CIRCUIT FOR SMIA INPUT CLOCK BUFFER - A circuit for a buffer includes input and output nodes, in which the buffer provides a high level voltage output at the output node for a low level input leakage condition at the input node. The circuit includes a pull-up circuit, coupled to the input node, for providing a pull-up voltage to raise a common voltage level of an input signal. The buffer includes a transistor coupled to the input node, in which the transistor is turned on, in response to the pull-up voltage. A detector is coupled to the output node for detecting presence of the input signal. Upon the transistor turning on, the output node provides a buffered output signal corresponding to the input signal, and upon the detector detecting the presence of the input signal, the pull-up circuit is configured to remove the pull-up voltage. The input signal is an AC coupled signal having a peak-to-peak voltage excursion about a common DC voltage value. The input signal is an AC coupled clock signal adopted for standard mobile architecture (SMIA). | 08-06-2009 |
