A system for measuring a property of a sample is provided. The system comprises a diagnostic measuring device having a memory and a diagnostic test strip for collecting the sample. The strip has embedded thereon a pattern representative of at least first data and second data, the first data being data representing at least one of parameters related to measuring the property, codes usable for calibration of the diagnostic measuring device, or parameters indicating proper connection between the measuring device and the test strip and the second data usable for detecting and rejecting potential errors affecting the proper measurement of the property.

Provided is a processing circuit for data of multiple bits including a first bit, a second bit, and a third bit, the processing circuit including a memory unit for storing a bit value of each bit, a first memory code, and a second memory code, a code generation unit for generating a first generation code indicating whether bit values of the first bit and the second bit stored by the memory unit are identical, and a second generation code indicating whether bit values of the second bit stored and the third bit stored by the memory unit are identical, and a determination unit for determining whether, based on a comparison result of between the first memory code and the first generation code and a comparison result between the second memory code and the second generation code, an error has occurred in the bit value of the second bit.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing memory page metadata received from a cache memory system within a data storage system to determine if the memory page metadata includes corruption due to a power failure event; if the memory page metadata includes post-acknowledgement data corruption, initiating a data recovery process to attempt to recover content associated with the post-acknowledgement data corruption; and if the memory page metadata includes pre-acknowledgement data corruption, reobtaining content associated with the pre-acknowledgement data corruption.

Embodiments are disclosed for problematic characters. The techniques include configuring a sort utility of an operating system to generate a replacement file that resolves a problem of a problematic file. Configuring the sort utility includes identifying the problematic file. The techniques further include identifying the replacement file. Additionally, configuring the sort utility includes providing an input to the sort utility that specifies a problematic character and a replacement character. Also, configuring the sort utility includes generating the replacement file by executing the configured sort utility.

A method for diagnosing secure communication. Before performing a data transmission, a self-diagnosing mode is entered. Error checkpoints are checked to generate a diagnostic status. The diagnostic status is collected. An error handling mode is entered to determine whether an error exists in the diagnostic status. When there is an error, the error is shielded. The method for diagnosing secure communication solves the problem of image burn-in, and further reduces the use of non-volatile memory. Therefore, the size and function utility of the integrated circuit can be further reduced.

A method of operating a distributed storage system, the method includes identifying missing chunks of a file. The file is divided into stripes that include data chunks and non-data chunks. The method also includes identifying non-missing chunks available for reconstructing the missing chunks and reconstructing missing data chunks before reconstructing missing non-data chunks using the available non-missing chunks.

The present invention provides a control method of a server, wherein the control method includes the steps of: periodically controlling a first register and a second register of a first node to have a first value and a second value, respectively; periodically controlling a third register and a fourth register of a second node to have a third value and a fourth value, respectively; controlling the first register and the fourth register to synchronize with each other, wherein the first value is different from the fourth value; controlling the second register and the third register to synchronize with each other, wherein the second value is different from the third value; and periodically checking if the third register has the third value and the fourth register has the fourth value to determine if the first node fails to work.

An electronic device, in response to detecting occurrence of a first condition at the device, generates a first alert that corresponds to a respective application in a first class of applications, the first alert including: a first haptic component and a first audio component composed from an audio waveform that is designated for use by the respective application in the first class of applications. In response to detecting occurrence of a second condition at the device, the device generates a second alert that corresponds to a respective application in a second class of applications different from the first class of applications, the second alert including: a second haptic component and a second audio component composed from an audio waveform that is designated for use by applications in the second class of applications.

A system and method for reducing execution errors make by a software service are disclosed. The service has several features whose execution paths are switched on or off by corresponding feature toggles, i.e. flags in a configuration database. The performance, and especially error generation, of each feature is monitored automatically and an instantaneous error rate is produced. When the error rate exceeds a given threshold error rate for a particular feature, the corresponding toggle is disabled in the configuration database and the service is triggered to restart using the updated toggles, thereby disabling the problematic feature. The system and method also determine whether the error rate increased due to a transient error condition, such as a data link drop or a secondary service restart, and re-enable the toggle when the error condition has passed.
