Log-structured file systems (LFSs) were developed to eliminate latencies involved in accessing disk devices, but their sequential write patterns also match well with tertiary storage characteristics. Unfortunately, existing versions only manage memory caches and disks, and do not support a broader storage hierarchy. Robotic storage devices offer huge storage capacity at a low cost per byte, but...

A remote online carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration monitoring system is developed, based on the technologies of wireless sensor networks, in allusion to the gas leakage monitoring requirement for CO2 capture and storage. The remote online CO2 monitoring system consists of monitoring equipment, a data center server, and the clients. The monitoring equipment is composed of a central processing un...

More and more mobile equipment use independent filesystem to expand their capacity, however the mobile storage systems often perform undesirable when plenty of users participate in these systems. In this paper, we present a novel mobile storage framework, which is aiming to provide convenient mechanism for mobile equipments. In the proposed storage framework, several optimization mechanisms are...

a few years after the implementation of computerize maintenance management systems (cmms), showing the analysis results of the collected data in these systems is necessary and important for continuing the usage of these systems. equipment downtime and cost data can identify patterns of equipment faults and equipment costs. it can also show deficiencies in the implementation of maintenance syste...

The security of sensitive data and the safety of control signal are two core issues in industrial control system (ICS). However, the prevalence of USB storage devices brings a great challenge on protecting ICS in those respects. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution especially for ICS to provide a complete defense against data transmission between untrusted USB storage devices and criti...

The Productive Ward series has effectively helped to standardise the storage of equipment in hospital ward treatment rooms; however, in our organisation equipment for venepunture and cannulation had been excluded. This resulted in clinicians having to navigate several unfamiliar environments while on-call and hence waste valuable time searching for basic equipment. We aimed to make it easier to...

For settling the problem of acquiring environment parameters quickly and responding in time in greenhouse which has low ability of autocontrolling environment. This paper designed a voice service system which was used in greenhouse for environment information collecting. This equipment can acquire and analyze the parameters of temperature, humidity, illumination, dew point temperature, soil tem...

The telecommunication industry is concerned about the energy costs of its operating infrastructure, and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. At present, more than half of the total energy consumption of data centers is for the power and cooling infrastructure that supports the storage and communication equipment. One method of reducing energy consumption is an approach called ―free air cool...
