A data replication system having a redundant configuration including dual Fiber Channel fabric links interconnecting each of the components of two data storage sites, wherein each site comprises a host computer and associated data storage array, with redundant array controllers and adapters. The system employs the grouping of logical units into ‘association sets’, for logging and failover purposes. The concept of association sets allows the system provides for proper ordering of I/O operations during logging across multiple volumes. In addition, association sets are employed by system to provide failure consistency by causing the group of logical units/volumes to all fail at the same time, ensuring a point in time consistency on the remote site.

A method and apparatus for requesting service using access codes are disclosed.

The invention uses access codes assigned to data or advertisements corresponding to information media to provide convenience in requesting detailed information on the data or advertisement and in ordering/payment for a product corresponding to the advertisement.

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for controlling the presentation of submissions within a real-time communication session by sequentially organizing and displaying messages immediately followed by their corresponding responses for allowing participants within the session to easily view, follow and participate within such session. Sequential tags are associated with each submission displayed within the session, whereby these tags are used to sequentially sort the messages along with their corresponding responses. Time stamps associated with each message and response may further be used for sequentially sorting such messages along with their corresponding responses. These sequentially sorted messages and corresponding responses are viewed in a modified display window, optionally along with the unmodified display window of the real-time communication session, on a display screen. This modified display window may be continually refreshed.

A method and a system for expressing results of a timing analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) chip design as relative values to drive efficient chip design closure include: using a computer, performing the timing analysis to compute timing results of the chip design across at least two design corners; applying corner specific normalization equations to the timing analysis results from each of the at least two corners to obtain normalized timing results; and using the timing results ordered and filtered by the normalized timing results of the IC chip design for the design closure prior to chip manufacture. The slacks are normalized to provide insight into the degree of difficulty of the required fixes for that slack across corners. Given multiple analyses, the slacks are fixed in a correct order across corners and paths, avoiding inefficient circuit solutions or cost greater design effort.

A system and method of transmitting multiple output messages from a single input message system where the system is keeping the messages in order by correlating the output messages with the input messages. For each output message, an indicator is associated with the output message indicating whether this output message is the last message being generated for the given input message. This allows multicasting to occur in a system where the output is matched to the input by allowing multiple output messages to be associated with a single input message.

Systems for providing on-demand food service material printing for food service are provided herein. Once a customer places a request for food service, the system can determine the order information about the customer's order and personalization information about the customer or store. Such information may be printed on a food service material item by a printer/dispenser in the store. The printed food service material item can then be used in preparation of the food order and provided to the customer—providing a more personalized customer experience. Such a system may be used to provide on-demand printing for any food service material item including, for example, food wrap, food containers, cups, carry-out bags, tray liners, pouches, napkins, among many others. Such systems may provide many advantages, including for example personalization of food service material and/or real-time promotion availability for stores.

An old care-of address is assigned to a mobile node in the communication area of the old access router and the mobile node is communicating with a correspondent node. Immediately before the mobile node enters the communication area of a new access router, a binding update message is transmitted to a diverging point router. The diverging point router is a router device located in the node where a route from the correspondent node to the old access router and a route from the correspondent router to the new access router are diverged. The diverging point router transfers packets addressed to the old care-of address to the new care-of address assigned to the mobile node in the communication area of the new access router.
