Peer-to-peer enterprise storage

A peer-to-peer storage system includes a storage coordinator that centrally manages distributed storage resources in accordance with system policies administered through a central administrative console. The storage resources, or “nodes,” are otherwise unused portions of storage media, e.g., hard disks, that are included in the devices such as personal computers, workstations, laptops, file servers, and so forth, that are connected to a corporate computer network, and are thus otherwise available only individually to the respective devices. The storage coordinator assigns the nodes to various “replication groups” and allocates the storage resources on each of the nodes in a given group to maintaining dynamically replicated versions of the group files. The storage nodes in a given group perform dynamic file replication and synchronization operations by communicating directly, that is, peer-to-peer, using a message-based protocol. The storage coordinator also manages distributed searches of file content on the network by selecting one node from each group to search through the associated group files. The selected nodes report the search results back to the storage coordinator, which organizes the results and provides them to the user. Thereafter, in response to a request for various files by the user, the storage coordinator instructs the nodes that are near neighbors of the user to provide the requested files. The storage coordinator thus ensures that the amount of the network bandwidth consumed by the search operation is minimized.

Base station device and transmission method

RLC processing section 106 supplies packet data requested for retransmission from a mobile terminal and new packet data not requested for retransmission to buffer 107 corresponding to data amounts controlled in HS-DSCH / FP processing section 108. Buffer 107 temporarily stores the packet data requested for retransmission and the new packet data not requested for retransmission to output at predetermined timing. HS-DSCH / FP processing section 108 detects a receivable data amount of the mobile terminal using CQI, and controls RLC processing section 106 so that the amount of data stored of packet data in buffer 107 does not exceed the receivable data amount of the mobile terminal. It is thereby possible to decrease the number of retransmissions to improve the throughput, and prevent suspension of the communication and disconnection of the channel.

Peer to peer enterprise storage system with lexical recovery sub-system

A peer-to-peer storage system includes a storage coordinator that centrally manages distributed storage resources in accordance with system policies administered through a central administrative console and a lexical recovery sub-system that automatically creates versions of files that are thereafter maintained by the system. The storage resources, or “nodes,” are otherwise unused portions of storage media, e.g., hard disks, that are included in the devices such as personal computers, workstations, laptops, file servers, and so forth, that are connected to a corporate computer network, and are thus otherwise available only individually to the respective devices. The storage coordinator assigns the nodes to various “replication groups” and allocates the storage resources on each of the nodes in a given group to maintaining dynamically replicated current and previous versions of the group files. The storage nodes in a given group perform dynamic file replication and synchronization operations by communicating directly, that is, peer-to-peer, using a message-based protocol. The storage coordinator also manages distributed searches of file content on the network by selecting one node from each group to search through the associated group files. The selected nodes report the search results back to the storage coordinator, which organizes the results and provides them to the user. The user may then restore or recover a previous version of a file or review a current version of the file by selecting the desired file version from the search results.

Scalable virtual partitioning of resources

Resources are partitioned via a virtual partitioning system to distribute the resources over a plurality of resource servers. A virtual partition table can be kept at each of a set of resource managers handling requests for resources in tandem. When a resource is requested, a virtual partition value is calculated algorithmically, and the value is mapped to a resource component via the virtual partition table. The resource component encapsulates information indicating on which of the resource servers the resource resides and can provide a component for performing operations on the resource even though the requestor does not have information about where the resource resides. The resources can be repartitioned by modifying the virtual partition table, thus allowing the addition of additional resource servers to the system while the resources remain available. Additional resource types can be added without reengineering the system.

Seamless display of video during connection switching

An electronic device uses one antenna to wirelessly communicate information with two different wireless networks via concurrent connections associated with different radio access technologies. More specifically, the electronic device may receive video via a first of the connections using a multicast communication protocol. In order to maintain the second connection, the electronic device may switch, for a time interval, from the first connection to the second connection during switching events. This switching can disrupt displayed content associated with the video. To prevent this disruption, in response to a trigger that warns of an upcoming switching event, the electronic device accesses a portion of the video in a buffer during the time interval associated with the switching event. When the communication circuit switches back to the first connection after the switching event, the electronic device reverts to the video communication using the multicast communication protocol.

Unified Method and Apparatus to Simplify Telephone Area Code Dialing

Abstract of the DisclosureA method and apparatus for unified overlay dialing enables simplified telephone dialing to occur within a standard overlay area and eliminates disruption dealing with area code saturation. Each three-digit area code within an overlay area is associated with a single-digit suffix, with the parent area code obtaining the suffix "0". Intra-overlay area dialing then proceeds on the basis of a seven digit number plus a one-digit suffix, rather than a full 10 or 1+10-digit number. For dialing to the parent area code from within the overlay area, the suffix may be omitted entirely, and the expiration of a suitable timing delay causes the seven digit number provided to be dialed into the original (parent) area code. This method can be implemented in connection with a telephone company central office switch, a modified custom calling service or be made accessible to individual telephone subscribers using computerized customer premises equipment. It can also be used to simplify dialing in non-overlaid situations.
