20150347011 | EVENT BASED TAGGING OF STORAGE SYSTEM COMMANDS - An indication of an event occurrence is received. The indication of the event occurrence is associated with a severity. A tag associated with the indication of the event occurrence is determined. It is determined whether the tag is the same as a preceding tag. In response to a determination that the tag is not the same as the preceding tag, a component is notified of the event occurrence, the tag is stored for later use, and an indication of the severity associated with the indication of the event occurrence is stored. | 12-03-2015 |
20150347031 | IN-FLIGHT COMMAND QUEUE DEPTH MANAGEMENT - An indication of an event is received at a storage controller. The indication of the event corresponds to a first severity. It is determined that the event is associated with a first stream of commands. It is determined whether the indication of the event is the first indication of the event received by the storage controller. If the indication of the event is the first indication of the event received by the storage controller, a maximum allowed count of in-flight commands to be less than a current count of in-flight commands is set. If the indication of the event is not the first indication of the event received by the storage controller, it is determined that the first severity is greater than a second severity corresponding to a previously received indication. If the first severity is greater than the second severity, the maximum allowed count of in-flight commands is decreased. | 12-03-2015 |
20150347057 | STORAGE AREA NETWORK EMULATOR - Some aspects of the disclosure describe a method for testing a storage controller by emulating storage area network (SAN) topologies and vendor-specific behavior in the storage controller. The method can include detecting, via a processor in the storage controller, a physical storage device connected to the storage controller. In response to detecting the physical storage device, the method can determine logic unit numbers (LUNs) based on device characteristics of the physical storage device, and determine a SAN topology to emulate, wherein the SAN topology defines paths leading to the LUNs. The method can also include updating, via the processor, configuration information used by components of the storage controller to indicate the paths leading to the LUNs. The method can also include detecting an input/out request that requires data associated with the LUNs. The method can also include determining, using the configuration information, the data associated with the LUNs. | 12-03-2015 |

20090242075 | BOTTLE FILLER - A self sanitizing bottle filler supplying filtered water. The bottle filler utilizes UV light to create ozone in a sealed dispensing chamber after each use. The UV light and ozone sanitize the interior surfaces of the dispensing mechanism and water delivery components. The bottle filler encloses the outlet spout after each use to prevent airborne contamination. The water stream may be illuminated helping users to position a container, preventing spills and splash back. | 10-01-2009 |
20100142313 | MIXER BLADE ATTACHMENT WITH FLEXIBLE FINS - An attachment to a mixer blade wipes the sides of a container and produces a mixture that is uniform and consistent. The attachment is placed onto the mixer blade either temporarily or permanently. After the attachment is on the mixer blade, the rotating spin of the mixer blade and the angular positioning of the flexible fins wipe the mixture on the sides of the container to the center of the container. By using a flexible material for the fins, the fins come into direct contact with the container while not damaging the container. The direct contact allows for the complete wiping of each side of the container. The attachment is easily cleaned. | 06-10-2010 |
20120061312 | REUSABLE FILTER CARTRIDGE - Described is a filter cartridge having a cup shape that can be filled with a filtering material, and placed in a filtering device such as a water pitcher. The filter cartridge has a base, a side wall, and a flange defining the cup shape of the filter cartridge. A removable mesh insert may be affixed atop the flange, allowing replacement of the filtering material. | 03-15-2012 |
20140353222 | SPOUT WITH REVERSED FLOW - A spout that dispenses water from a water dispenser has a disinfection portion that provides two passes of the water therethrough. The disinfection portion has two flow tubes, the second arranged inside the first, so that an annular cross-section flow path is defined by an inside wall of first tube and an outside wall of the second tube. A second flow path having a circular cross-section is defined by an inside wall of the second tube. The water flow is transferred between the flow at a second end of the disinfection portion by a second end portion. At a first end portion, located at a first end of the disinfection portion, a first end portion body provides connections to the disinfection section for both an inlet and an outlet. The order of flow through the disinfection portion flow paths may depend upon the orientation of the spout. | 12-04-2014 |
