Optimized server for streamed applications
ActiveUS20030004882A1Efficient deliveryEasy maintenanceComputer security arrangementsSecret communicationApplication serverThe Internet
An optimized server for streamed applications provides a streamed application server optimized to provide efficient delivery of streamed applications to client systems across a computer network such as the Internet. The server persistently stores streamed application program sets that contain streamed application file pages. Client systems request streamed application file pages from the server using a unique set of numbers common among all servers that store the particular streamed application file pages. A license server offloads the streamed application server by performing client access privilege validations. Commonly accessed streamed application file pages are stored in a cache on the streamed application server which attempts to retrieve requested streamed application file pages from the cache before retrieving them from persistent storage. Requested streamed application file pages are compressed before being sent to a client as well as those stored in the cache.

Processing and distributing write logs of nodes of a cluster storage system
ActiveUS8145838B1Short response timeReduce storage spaceError detection/correctionMemory systemsFailoverData store
A cluster storage system comprises a plurality of nodes that access a shared storage, each node having two or more failover partner nodes. A primary node produces write logs for received write requests and produces parity data for the write logs (storing the parity data to local non-volatile storage). By storing parity data rather than actual write logs, the non-volatile storage space within the cluster for storing write logs is reduced. Prior to failure of the primary node, the primary node also sub-divides the write logs into two or more sub-sets and distributes the sub-sets to the two or more partner nodes for storage at non-volatile storage devices. Thus, if the primary node fails, its write logs are already distributed among the partner nodes so each partner node may perform the allotted write logs on the storage, thus improving the response time to the primary node failure.

Private VoIP network for security system monitoring
InactiveUS20060067484A1Reduce errorsShort response timeInterconnection arrangementsFrequency-division multiplex detailsCommunications securityPrivate network
Security systems typically communicate with alarm monitoring centers using a telephone connection. Security systems will check in with the alarm monitoring center with a diagnostic signal at a predetermined interval—typically once per day. When a security system is connected to a Voice-over-IP service (using Broadband Internet), rather than a standard telephone line, the opportunity exists to poll in real-time the status of the connection, and alert the owner (or alert the alarm monitoring center) that the customer's connection has been broken. The present invention offers a system and technique for monitoring a security system connected using a Voice-over-IP connection, in real time, and alerting the owner of the security system, or the alarm-monitoring center, when the connection is broken. This alert can be used, for example, to issue a telephone call to the police, informing them of the breach of line integrity and possible compromise of the premise.

In order to provide a combination weighing apparatus having an automatic filter adjusting capability which is effective to secure a weighing accuracy and also to adjust a filter characteristic of a digital filter having a short response time, the filter characteristic is automatically adjusted, based on a result of comparison of respective vibration components U of filtered weight signals FW1 to FWn with a permissible level US of the vibration components, so that the respective vibration components U of the filtered weight signals FW1 to FWn can attain a value approximating to the permissible level US, but not exceeding the permissible level US. In this way, by damping the vibration components U down to a value within the permissible level US, the weighing accuracy can be secured and, on the other hand, by damping the vibration components U down to a value approximating to the permissible level US, the filter characteristic can be obtained quickly in a short time.

Access control systems and methods regulate access to shared content items in a corpus using visibility tokens. A user provides other users with access to a content item by associating a content token with the content item and associating a matching user token with each user who is to be granted access. A user who attempts to access the content item succeeds only if that user has a user token matching the content token associated with the content item. User tokens can be propagated automatically from one user to another, e.g., based on trust relationships among the users. Content tokens can be indexed with content items so that when a user searches the corpus, a search engine can detect matches between user tokens and content tokens and filter the search results based on whether they are visible to the querying user.
