The embodiment of the invention provides a CDN file storage method, a file distribution control center and a system thereof, and relates to the field of network multimedia technology. According to the invention, reasonable storage modes can be flexibly allocated for files according to types of the files. Thus, visit pressure of a content distribution system is balanced; system resources are utilized reasonably; network congestion is relieved; system overloads are avoided; and performance of a CDN system is raised. The method comprises the following steps: the file distribution control center acquires files to be stored; the file distribution control center judges types of the files to be stored; if the files to be stored are cold-spot files, the file distribution control center sends a first file storage message to a storage node so as to make a server of the storage node store the cold-spot files; and if the files to be stored are hotspot files or ultra-hotspot files, the file distribution control center sends a second file storage message to the storage node and an edge node so as to make the storage node and the edge node store the hotspot files or ultra-hotspot files.

A diesel particulate filter including a microwave-absorbing target within a waveguide cavity. The cavity accepts microwave-frequency electromagnetic radiation through input couplers 90 degrees out of phase with each other to excite circular polarization heating modes. Through excitation of circularly polarized modes, heating patterns are time-averaged azimuthally to smooth out the hot and cold spots, thereby providing greater uniformity relative to heating patterns for corresponding linearly polarized modes.

A compact fluorescent lamp having an arc tube is disclosed. The arc tube comprises: at least a first tube part and a second tube part connected to each other through a transverse connecting tube portion including a cold spot. The lamp further comprises an outer bulb enclosing the arc tube. A clip member is adapted to clip to the connecting tube portion. The clip member is for providing heat dissipation from the cold spot and for providing resilient positioning for the arc tube along a longitudinal axis of the lamp. The clip member is comprised of:

• • at least one gripping section adapted to clip on said connecting tube portion diametrically around, and made of a curved resilient metallic strip;
  • at least two resilient outward tags protruding out from the gripping section in different directions for providing flexible support on an inner surface portion of the outer bulb. The outward tags are made of metal and having contacting sections for sprung contact onto the inner surface portion of the outer bulb.

A modulator for radiation therapy provides modulation of an area beam to decrease treatment time. Separate channels passing modulated “beamlets” are possible by spacing the channels such that spreading of the beams and multiple angles of treatment eliminate cold spots. The space between the channels allows well-defined channel walls and space for modulator mechanisms.

This invention relates to efficiently regenerating catalyst particles by minimizing the formation of localized “hot spots” and “cold spots” in a regeneration zone. In one embodiment, the invention includes mixing spent catalyst from a reactor and cold catalyst from a catalyst cooler in a mixing zone and directing the mixed catalyst to the regeneration zone in a fluidized manner with a fluidizing medium. In the regeneration zone, the mixed catalyst contacts an oxygen-containing regeneration medium under conditions effective to regenerate the spent catalyst contained therein.

A method of mutagenesis by which a predetermined amino acid is introduced into each and every position of a selected set of positions in a preselected region (or several different regions) of a polypeptide to produce a library of polypeptide analogs is disclosed. The method is based on the premise that certain amino acids play a crucial role in the structure and function of proteins and thus is capable of identifying and distinguishing functional amino acid residues (“hot spots”) from non-functional amino acids residues (“cold spots”) within a polypeptide or portion thereof. Libraries can be generated which contain only desired polypeptide analogs and are of reasonable size for screening. The libraries can be used to study the role of specific amino acids in polypeptide structure and function and to develop new or improved polypeptides such as antibodies, antibody fragments, single chain antibodies, enzymes, and ligands.

The invention discloses a data behavior based low-energy consumption cluster storage replication device and method. The data behavior based low-energy consumption cluster storage replication device comprises a metadata server and a storage server. The storage server is composed of a hot node set and a cold node set. The data behavior based low-energy consumption cluster storage replication method includes that the hot node set is in a normally open state to store hot spot data frequently accessed by clients and provides QoS (quality of service) guarantee for a storage system; the cold node set stores cold spot data containing large amount of data and seldom accessed by the clients, automatically transfers into a dormant state in the absence of requests, and immediately switches back to a working state to process requests once arriving. Since data access behaviors of the clients are subject to a 80/20 rule, that is, 80% of the requests concentrate on 20% of the hot spot data, while only 20% of the requests access to 80% of the cold spot data. By the method, energy consumption of a system can be greatly reduced on condition that the quality of service of storage cluster system performance is guaranteed.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a network of wireless remote climate sensors to develop a complete heat map of an enclosed space. The remote climate sensor is configured to collect temperature and humidity data on a zone of the enclosed space. The HVAC system uses a network of these sensors to obtain data points across the enclosed space. The resulting heat map is used by the HVAC system to determine where to direct air in the enclosed space. By comparing the temperature and humidity at a specific remote climate sensor with the user's desired temperature and humidity, the HVAC system can decide whether to increase or decrease the air flow through a variable damper that is located near the remote climate sensor. By conducting this analysis throughout the enclosed space and making incremental adjustments to the air flow in hot and cold spots in the enclosed space, the disclosed HVAC system provides even comfort to the user along with reduced energy consumption.

A warming gas flows through a jacket to heat an insufflation gas flowing in a separate tube, thereby reducing cost and disposable waste. The heated warming gas may be filtered to sterilize or maintain sterility and released to atmosphere after heating the flowing insufflation gas. Alternatively the warming gas may be reheated and recirculated through the jacket, with an additional tube being used within the jacket so that the warming gas flows in both directions lengthwise. The insufflation gas may be carbon dioxide and the warming gas may be room air. The heating element and sensors may be separate from the disposable unit of a heated insufflation set, and need not be re-sterilized prior to or after use in surgery. The heat is constantly maintained, thereby eliminating “cold spots” caused by the natural cycling of the resistance heaters due to the nature of the operation being preformed on the patient.

A single-ended arc discharge vessel for a metal halide lamp includes a U-shaped arc discharge chamber that has two juxtaposed subchambers with a divider wall therebetween and a passageway around the divider wall that connects the two subchambers to each other. The vessel has two parallel electrodes in a same end of the vessel that is opposite the passageway. Each of the electrodes extends into a respective one of the two subchambers a distance less than a height of the divider wall so that the arc discharge between the electrodes is U-shaped. This arrangement moves the vessel cold spot away from the electrodes to permit higher operating temperatures and increases arc gap length for a given vessel size to permit a higher lamp voltage.
