A distributed file storage and communication system stores redundant copies of segments of a file on multiple remote storage units. The file to be stored is partitioned into multiple fragments, and each of the fragments is redundantly stored on multiple remote storage units. A file tracker is maintained that identifies where each fragment is stored. Providing the file tracker to another user allows the other user to access the file. To receive and / or retrieve the file, the system retrieves each fragment by attempting to download the fragment from one of the remote storage units identified in the file tracker for the fragment; if the selected remote storage unit is not available, another storage unit is selected for attempting the download. The selection of storage units to receive each fragment may be random or targeted, or a combination of both. Preferably, each fragment is encrypted, and the intended recipient is provided a key to decrypt the fragments.

A service server for communicating with a user terminal via a network and delivering a voice message about a picture the server has received an order to print from the user to the user terminal, comprising: a database for managing a voice message to be provided for a user and a playing condition for the voice message; an inputting device for inputting a voice message and a playing condition to be managed in the database; an access information issuing device for issuing access information to obtain the voice message via a network for the database to manage in association with the voice message and playing condition; a print instruction device for sending the picture for which the server has received an order to print with access information to a printer to record the picture and access information on the same print medium; a determination device for determining whether the current condition matches a playing condition managed in the database when the service server accessed from a user terminal by using access information recorded on the print medium; and a sending device for reading a voice message corresponding to the access information from the database and sending the voice message to the accessing user terminal when the current condition is determined to match the playing condition.

A remote access and control system for remotely controlling a wide variety of devices using an application installed in a cell phone in conjunction with a control module in communication with the cell phone and the device(s). A portal-based access and control system is also disclosed.

A method for mimicking the effects of caloric restriction by administration of a food substrate having carnitine or a carnitine derivative and an antioxidant. The food substrate is capable of modulating gene expression in a way similar to caloric restriction.

Real time security, integrity, and reliability postures of operational (OT), information (IT), and security (ST) systems, as well as slower changing security and operational blueprint, policies, processes, and rules governing the enterprise security and business risk management process, dynamically evolve and adapt to domain, context, and situational awareness, as well as the controls implemented across the operational and information systems that are controlled. Embodiments of the invention are systematized and pervasively applied across interconnected, interdependent, and diverse operational, information, and security systems to mitigate system-wide business risk, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of business processes and to enhance security control which conventional perimeter, network, or host based control and protection schemes cannot successfully perform.

The invention relates to lightweight ecological nutrient soil for roof greening and a method for preparing the lightweight ecological nutrient soil. The nutrient soil is made of dry basis raw materials including 10-20% of biogas residues, 5-15% of slag, 10-20% of loess, 25-35% of rice hulls, 15-25% of mushroom residues and 15-30% of pine needle soil, and living earthworms accounting for 0.2-1% of the total mass of the dry basis raw materials. The nutrient soil is light in load, low in volume weight, free from hardening, resistant to trampling, fine in moisture and fertility preserving performance, pollution-free, extensive in source of raw materials, low in cost, simple in production process and easy to popularize.

In a passive optical network system in which communication signals from a master station to a plurality of subsidiary stations are multiplexed by time division and transmitted, after converting (modulating) data with a high transmission speed to a low transmission speed, a base speed, in the master station, a header including an identifier destined for each subsidiary station is attached to the data with a low transmission speed and the converted data, respectively, the data and the header being multiplexed by time division inside a frame and transmitted to the subsidiary stations at the base speed. In the subsidiary station having received the concerned frame, only the data destined for the station itself is read, on the basis of the identifier included in the header, and by means of demodulation, the converted data are reconverted to the original high speed data and supplied to a user terminal.

In a system including a plurality of multi-core processors, a table for managing the processors and cores owned by the processors is provided and a single virtual server is formed by using cores owned by different processors when generating the virtual server. According to the number owned by processors, the number of processors is varied. If a fault preecho in a processor is detected, control is exercised so as not to deliver an execution schedule of a virtualization mechanism to the processor in which the fault preecho has been detected. In a system including a plurality of multi-core processors, arithmetic cores owned by a plurality of different processors are assigned to processing of a process or thread in an operating system. In a system including a plurality of multi-core processors, arithmetic cores owned by a plurality of different processors are assigned to the operating system.
