20130191350 | Single Instantiation Method Using File Clone and File Storage System Utilizing the Same - In file de-duplication using hash value comparison, hash values of all target files must be calculated and actual data of all files must be read for hash value calculation, so that the processing time was long. The present invention provides a file storage system comprising a controller and a volume storing a plurality of files, the volume including a first directory storing a first file and a second file and a second directory storing a third file being created, wherein the controller migrates actual data of the second file to the third file, sets up a management information of the second file so that the third file is referred to when the second file is read, and if the sizes of actual data of the first file and the actual data of the third file are identical and the binaries of the actual data of the first file and the actual data of the third file are identical, sets up a management information of the first file to refer to the third file when reading the first file. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191351 | Compressing, storing and searching sequence data - The redundancy in genomic sequence data is exploited by compressing sequence data in such a way as to allow direct computation on the compressed data using methods that are referred to herein as “compressive” algorithms. This approach reduces the task of computing on many similar genomes to only slightly more than that of operating on just one. In this approach, the redundancy among genomes is translated into computational acceleration by storing genomes in a compressed format that respects the structure of similarities and differences important to analysis. Specifically, these differences are the nucleotide substitutions, insertions, deletions, and rearrangements introduced by evolution. Once such a compressed library has been created, analysis is performed on it in time proportional to its compressed size, rather than having to reconstruct the full data set every time one wishes to query it. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191352 | DYNAMIC PARTIAL UNCOMPRESSION OF A DATABASE TABLE - A database dynamic partial uncompression mechanism determines when to dynamically uncompress one or more compressed portions of a database table that also includes uncompressed portions. A query may include an express term that specifies whether or not to skip compressed portions. In addition, a query may include associated information that specifies whether or not to skip compressed portions, and one or more thresholds that may be used to determine if the system is too busy to perform uncompression. A display mechanism may also determine whether or not to display compressed portions. The uncompression may occur at the database server or at a client. The database dynamic partial uncompression mechanism thus performs dynamic uncompression in a way that preferably uncompresses one or more compressed portions of a partially compressed database table only when the compressed portions satisfy a query and/or need to be displayed. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191353 | DYNAMIC PARTIAL UNCOMPRESSION OF A DATABASE TABLE - A database dynamic partial uncompression mechanism determines when to dynamically uncompress one or more compressed portions of a database table that also includes uncompressed portions. A query may include an express term that specifies whether or not to skip compressed portions. In addition, a query may include associated information that specifies whether or not to skip compressed portions, and one or more thresholds that may be used to determine if the system is too busy to perform uncompression. A display mechanism may also determine whether or not to display compressed portions. The uncompression may occur at the database server or at a client. The database dynamic partial uncompression mechanism thus performs dynamic uncompression in a way that preferably uncompresses one or more compressed portions of a partially compressed database table only when the compressed portions satisfy a query and/or need to be displayed. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191354 | System and Method for Information Lifecycle Management of Investigation Cases - Various agencies, such as law enforcement and intelligence agencies, deploy monitoring centers that monitor communication networks and analyze the monitored communication. One possible way to reduce storage cost is to apply Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) techniques, which store the content to multiple storage tiers having different performance levels. The monitoring center processes the various items of content in the context of investigation cases. given investigation case may be assigned a certain status, e.g., active or closed. The monitoring center comprises an ILM server that assigns content items to storage tiers based on the investigation cases with which the content items are associated. The ILM server may analyze the state of a given investigation case, and selects an ILM policy based on the state of the case. The ILM policy specifies the storage tier (or tiers) to be used for storing items of data associated with the case. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191355 | System, Method and Apparatus for Enterprise Policy Management - Disclosed are systems, methods and apparatuses for managing objects (files and directories) in network file systems according to policies. Each policy may have one or more rules, each of which ties a condition to an action. Each condition can be expressed in terms of metadata harvested across file systems and stored in a metadata repository. The actions are user-programmable. Users can apply and/or enforce a policy by manipulating the metadata stored in the metadata repository. For example, suppose a policy prohibits storing MP3 files in corporate storage, a user can specify a rule that ties the condition “no MP3 files in volumes A-Z” to an action “delete MP3 files from volumes A-Z.” A file management application may apply a filter to the metadata repository to produce metadata records having values that meet the specified condition and take the corresponding action on managed objects associated with those metadata records. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191356 | AUTONOMIC GENERATION OF DOCUMENT STRUCTURE IN A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A content management system (CMS) autonomically generates structure for a document when a synchronization rule references structure that does not exist in the document. A dynamic structure policy specifies at least one criterion that determines if and how the structure is autonomically generated. By autonomically generating structure in a document, a CMS administrator or CMS user (such as the author) is relieved of the manual task of generating the structure before the synchronization rule can be successfully processed. Once dynamically generated, the added structure may be auto-populated with dummy data or with default data specified in the autonomic structure policy. | 2013-07-25 |
20130191357 | MANAGING MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF ENTERPRISE META-MODELS USING SEMANTIC BASED INDEXING - A method, system and program product of managing multiple versions of enterprise meta-models within an enterprise model using semantic based indexing.

Running the script may also cause the processor to create, for a processing unit, a memory object, transfer data into that memory object, and transfer data back to the processor in such a way that a memory address of the data in the memory object is not returned to the processor. | 2013-07-25 |
