20100071806 | PORTABLE SAND BAG HOPPER - A highly portable sand bag hopper has the shape of a cabinet with the front open. The top of the cabinet has a loading opening for loading sand into a lower cone. The loading cone has a larger upper end attached to the top opening and a lower, smaller tapered end inside the cabinet. A horizontal sliding door is located near the lower, smaller tapered end of the cone and opens and closes the lower discharge opening. The sliding door is rotatably attached to a horizontal lever by a pin. The lever arm and door are normally biased closed by a spring. The upper part of the cone is loaded with sand at a predetermined level and a sand bag is attached or held under the lower discharge opening. As the lever arm is pulled towards the back of the cabinet, the lower door slides open, discharging the sand into the sand bag. The upper part of the cone may be marked to measure discreet amounts of sand to be discharged into the sand bag. A seal may be located around the lower opening to sweep sand or debris from the top of the discharge door. | 03-25-2010 |

20110027056 | VERTICAL LIFT ARM DEVICE - A skid steer loader having an operator compartment attached to a frame. Lift assemblies are movably mounted to the frame and are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. As the lift assemblies are moved between the retracted position and the extended position, joining plates, first links and second links are positioned behind the operator compartment to provide a better field of vision for the operator. | 02-03-2011 |

20090254720 | SYSTEM FOR REBUILDING DISPERSED DATA - A digital data file storage system is disclosed in which original data files to be stored are dispersed using some form of information dispersal algorithm into a number of file “slices” or subsets in such a manner that the data in each file share is less usable or less recognizable or completely unusable or completely unrecognizable by itself except when combined with some or all of the other file shares. These file shares are stored on separate digital data storage devices as a way of increasing privacy and security. As dispersed file shares are being transferred to or stored on a grid of distributed storage locations, various grid resources may become non-operational or may operate below at a less than optimal level. When dispersed file shares are being written to a dispersed storage grid which not available, the grid clients designates the dispersed data shares that could not be written at that time on a Rebuild List. In addition when grid resources already storing dispersed data become non-available, a process within the dispersed storage grid designates the dispersed data shares that need to be recreated on the Rebuild List. At other points in time a separate process reads the set of Rebuild Lists used to create the corresponding dispersed data and stores that data on available grid resources. | 10-08-2009 |
20100023529 | METADATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR AN INFORMATION DISPERSED STORAGE SYSTEM - An apparatus includes a processing module and a network interface. The processing module is operably coupled to obtain; a data storage transaction request regarding a file; determine identity of a user based on the data storage transaction request; access file level metadata based on the identity of the user to determine a plurality of file slices associated with the file; access file slice metadata to identify at least one of a plurality of storage nodes that stores or is to store, a data slice and coded subsets of at least one of the plurality of file slices; and generate a data storage transaction message to facilitate a data storage transaction regarding the at least one of the plurality of file slices. The network interface is operably coupled to convert the data storage transaction message into a network data storage message and transmit it. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023710 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR SUBDIVIDING DATA FOR STORAGE IN A DISPERSED DATA STORAGE GRID - An efficient method for breaking source data into smaller data subsets and storing those subsets along with coded information about some of the other data subsets on different storage nodes such that the original data can be recreated from a portion of those data subsets in an efficient manner. | 01-28-2010 |
20100063911 | BILLING SYSTEM FOR INFORMATION DISPERSAL SYSTEM - An apparatus includes a processing module and a network interface. The processing module is operably coupled to: accessing user level metadata based on account identifier to identify a plurality of files associated with a user and retrieve user level metadata for the plurality of files; access file level metadata associated with the plurality of files to retrieve, for each of the plurality of files, file level metadata and determine, for each of the plurality of files, a plurality of file slices associated with a corresponding file of the plurality of files; and generate billing transaction information based on the user level metadata and the file level metadata of the plurality of files. The network interface is operably coupled to: convert the billing transaction information into a network billing transaction information message and transmit it. | 03-11-2010 |
20120246421 | System, Methods, and Apparatus for Subdividing Data for Storage in a Dispersed Data Storage Grid - An efficient method for breaking source data into smaller data subsets and storing those subsets along with coded information about some of the other data subsets on different storage nodes such that the original data can be recreated from a portion of those data subsets in an efficient manner. | 09-27-2012 |

20110016122 | COMMAND LINE INTERPRETER FOR ACCESSING A DATA OBJECT STORED IN A DISTRIBUTED STORAGE NETWORK - A user device includes a DSN interface operably coupled with a DSN memory and a DS processing module for storing and retrieving a data object from the DSN memory, wherein the data object is partitioned into a plurality of data segments and wherein each of the plurality of data segments is stored in the DSN memory as a plurality of encoded data slices that are generated based on an error encoding dispersal function. The user device also includes a command line interpreter operable to interpret a file command as a request to display the data object by an application program, determine the data object is stored in the DSN memory and request the DSN processing module to retrieve the data object from the DSN memory and provide the data object to the application program. | 01-20-2011 |
