Graphical user interface for configuration of a storage system

A storage server architecture supporting virtual devices and virtual circuits for storing data is provided. The storage server includes a plurality of communication interfaces. A first set of communication interfaces in the plurality is adapted for connection to all kinds of users of data. A second set of communication interfaces in the plurality is adapted for connection to respective devices in a pool of storage devices. Data processing resources in the server are coupled to the plurality of communication interfaces for transferring data among the interfaces. The data processing resources comprise a plurality of driver modules and configurable logic linking driver modules into data paths. Each configured data path acts as a virtual circuit that includes a set of driver modules selected from the plurality of driver modules. A data storage transaction which is received at a communication interface is mapped to one of the configured data paths. A display and a user input device are included with data processing structures to manage images displayed on the display. The images include a first image arranged to prompt a user to input configuration data concerning host systems coupled to one of the plurality of communication interfaces, a second image arranged to prompt a user to input data concerning storage resources coupled to one of the plurality of communication interfaces, and a third image arrange to prompt a user to input data concerning logical addresses used by the host systems to access the storage resources accessible using the server.

System and method for improved searching on the internet or similar networks and especially improved MetaNews and/or improved automatically generated newspapers

Google has recently made available at http://news.google.com an automated “newspaper”, which searches continuously about 4,500 news sources, and lets users view automatically generated headlines in a few general areas or lets users search for news by keywords. The automatic determination of which news items or news stories are most important is done by 3 main criteria: In how many sources the news item appeared, how important are the news sources in which it appeared, and how close it is to the top in each of these news sources. However, many problems still remain, such as for example: a. The choice of a single main news source and a single image for each item seems arbitrary to the user and limits the user. b. If the user clicks on the “related items” link for that item the user always gets a linear list of typically hundreds or even more than a thousand links to related news items, sorted either by relevance or by time, however, the new list is now without any images and without any clustering, so that many times news stories that are about the same event or even identical, may appear at different positions in the list of related links, and various other news items may appear between them and are typically also dispersed in various places. This makes it vary hard for the user to take advantage efficiently of the list of related items. The present invention solves the above problem by creating recursive clustering, so that preferably at any level in the tree the user can preferably either choose a specific news item from the cluster or from the shown sub-clusters or continue in the tree. Another improvement is that searching the Meta News by keywords can generate an automatic newspaper in a way similar to the original automatically generated newspaper. Many additional improvements to the concept of automated newspapers and/or news MetaSearch are also shown. Other improvements are suggested for improved shareware MetaSearch, improved Web pages search, and other types of searches.

Upstream only linecard with front end multiplexer for CMTS

An upstream line card including a digital or analog multiplexer front end circuit for a Cable Modem Termination System. Each upstream line card has only upstream receivers and allows a CMTS to share one or a handful of receiver chips to receive and recover data from a larger number of input cables coupled to the front end multiplexer. A control circuit for the multiplexer uses MAP data and burst assignment data and upstream mini-slot counts for each of the input cables to determine when a burst is about to arrive on a cable and cause appropriate switching by the multiplexer or crossbar switch. In some embodiments, there is only one RF channel circuit coupled to the output of the multiplexer, so the multiplexer is controlled to couple the input cable upon which the burst is expected to the single RF channel. In other embodiments, there are multiple RF channels coupled to the inputs of the multiplexer so the multiplexer is controlled to connect each input cable on which a burst is expected to an available RF channel. In some embodiments, the sample data generated by each RF channel is buffered and an arbiter picks one burst at a time for application to the input of a CMTS receiver or doles out bursts to different receivers. In other embodiments, no buffers or arbiter are used, and each RF channel has its own dedicated CMTS receiver.
