20090222450 | SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING EMAIL FILE ATTACHMENTS OVER A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK USING A PEER-TO-PEER CONNECTION - The present invention is a new and efficient system and method for transferring large email attachment files by establishing an ad-hoc peer-to-peer (P2P) connection between sender and recipients. By separating the email from the attachment, the invention dramatically decreases the volume of data transferred by mail servers, allowing them to handle only the body of the message. The attachment files are transferred using direct communication means, which are more suitable for this kind of data transference. All the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as software components, which can be integrated into any existing email application, or as a stand-alone application including the email and the P2P functionalities. Also included in the scope of the present invention are means for identifying additional sources in the network from which the transferred file may be downloaded, whenever the attached file is a generic file. | 2009-09-03 |

The connecter determines the changes made to the data since the last synchronization and the changes are forwarded to the master synchronization engine. The difference aware information repository is capable of determining the changes made to the stored data since the last synchronization and simply forwards the changes to its connector. Each connector forwards the changes to the data in their respective information repositories to a database which updates the master data list. | 2009-09-03 |
20090222494 | OPTIMISTIC OBJECT RELOCATION - Object relocation often involves a multi-word copy of the object from a source address to a destination address, followed by updating the references (e.g., pointers) to the object. However, during the relocation, other threads may write to portions of the object that have already been relocated, and the updates may be lost when the references are updated to point to the destination address. A non-blocking relocation technique may be implemented to permit threads to write to the object during the relocation, wherein the memory accesses are monitored for a write to the object. If a write is detected during the relocation, the relocation fails and the memory at the destination address is deallocated; but if no write is detected, the relocation succeeds and the references are updated to point to the destination address. Refinements of this technique may be implemented to reduce other synchronization issues. | 2009-09-03 |
