20090273998 | BITCELL CURRENT SENSE DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A memory device includes a sense amplifier to sense the state of a bitcell. The sense amplifier includes two input terminals connected via a switch. One of the input terminals is connected to a node, whereby a current through the node represents a difference in current drawn by a bitcell and a reference current.

20150200816 | POLICY PERFORMANCE ORDERING - Technology for optimizing policy evaluation is disclosed. A policy may include an ordered rule set. When evaluated, the highest priority rule in the order that does not skip may control the outcome of the policy. Rules within a policy may have associated costs and an associated probability of not skipping. The rules of a policy may not need to be executed in a particular order for a system to determine the correct evaluation of the policy and groups of rules, or “batches,” may be run simultaneously. Technology is disclosed to optimize policy evaluation by creating batches and orderings of those batches which have a lower expected cost than other ordered sets of batches. The expected cost for each ordered set of batches may be calculated based on: rule costs, probabilities associated with one or more rules, the organization of the rules into batches, and the ordering of batches within sets. | 07-16-2015 |

20150288718 | POLICY PARTIAL RESULTS - Technology for policies with reduced associated costs is disclosed. A policy may include an ordered rule set. When evaluated, the highest priority rule in the order that does not skip may control the policy outcome. Rules within a policy may have associated costs, such as data fetch and evaluation costs. In some contexts, it may be less important to evaluate every rule than to evaluate the policy quickly. Reduced policies that have one or more rules removed or that skip evaluation of some rules may be created for these contexts. When a rule of a policy is skipped, it may result in a possibility of a false allow or false deny. In some cases, rules may be duplicative. Removal or skipping of duplicative rules does not increase the possibility of a false allow or false deny. By using reduced policies in identified contexts, policy evaluation costs may be reduced. | 10-08-2015 |

20090276591 | EXTENSIBLE APPLICATION BACKUP SYSTEM AND METHOD - An archive method and system receives a backup request for a target dataset used by an application on a primary storage system to be backed up on a secondary storage system. Different applications may each have a corresponding proprietary application format for storing their datasets. An application translator module is loaded into an extensible backup manager that converts between a proprietary application format associated with the target dataset and a predetermined storage format used by the extensible backup manager. The application translator module converts from the proprietary application format into the predetermined storage format when the baseline backup of the target dataset has not yet been performed. An incremental backup uses the application translator module to convert from the proprietary application format associated with the application into the predetermined storage format of the extensible backup manager. Once completed, a data mover component causes the incremental backup and the baseline backup of the entire target dataset, if scheduled, to be moved from the primary storage to the secondary storage and stored in the predetermined storage format rather than the proprietary application format associated with the application. | 11-05-2009 |
