CloudJet4BigData: Streamlining Big Data via an Accelerated Socket Interface

Big data needs to feed users with fresh processing results and cloud platforms can be used to speed up big data applications. This paper describes a new data communication protocol (CloudJet) for long distance and large volume big data accessing operations to alleviate the large latencies encountered in sharing big data resources in the clouds. It encapsulates a dynamic multi-stream/multi-path engine at the socket level, which conforms to Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) and thereby can accelerate any POSIX-compatible applications across IP based networks. It was demonstrated that CloudJet accelerates typical big data applications such as very large database (VLDB), data mining, media streaming and office applications by up to tenfold in real-world tests

2-(3-Hy­droxy­benzyl­amino)­acetic acid

There are two independent 2-(3-hy­droxy­benzyl­amino)­acetic acid mol­ecules, C9H11NO3, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the two independent mol­ecules is 58.12 (4)°. The crystal packing is stablized by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

Study on the control algorithm for lower limb exoskeleton based on ADAMS/Simulink co-simulation

A sliding mode control algorithm based on proportional switching function was developed to make the lower limb exoskeleton more fit the human walking gait trajectory. It could improve the comfort of the exoskeleton wearer and enhance the reliability of the system. The three-dimensional mechanical model of the exoskeleton built using software SolidWorks was introduced to ADAMS and then the model parameters were set. The model was combined with the software MATLAB so that the human-machine cooperation control algorithm for lower limb exoskeleton based on ADAMS and Simulink co-simulation was developed. The simulation result was compared with the desired trajectory and the trajectory under PID control. The research discovered that the ability of trajectory tracking under the sliding mode control was much better than that under PID control. It provided an important theoretical basis for the research on human-machine cooperation control algorithm

Bis[N-benzyl-2-(quinolin-8-yl­oxy)acetamide] monohydrate

In the title compound, 2C18H16N2O2·H2O, the dihedral angles between the quinoline rings and the benzene rings in the two independent acetamide mol­ecules are 80.09 (5) and 61.23 (5)°. The crystal packing is stablized by O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the acetamide and water mol­ecules
