20090043968 | Sharing Volume Data Via Shadow Copies - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to sharing volume data via shadow copies. In aspects, an active computer creates a shadow copy of a volume. The shadow copy is exposed to one or more passive computers that may read but not write to the volume. A passive computer may obtain data from the shadow copy by determining whether the data has been written to a differential area and, if so, reading it from the differential area. If the data has not been written to the differential area, the passive computer may obtain it by first reading it from the volume, then re-determining whether it has been written to the differential area, and if so, reading the data from the differential area. Otherwise, the data read from the volume corresponds to the data needed for the shadow copy. | 02-12-2009 |

20100100701 | OPTIMIZING DEFRAGMENTATION OPERATIONS IN A DIFFERENTIAL SNAPSHOTTER - A method for establishing and maintaining a differential snapshot of a set of files stored on a volume is disclosed. The invention achieves processing time and disk space optimizations by avoiding copy-on-write operations for logically insignificant moves of blocks, such as the block rearrangements characteristic of defragmentation utilities. A file system enhancement enabling the passing of a block copy command from the file system to lower-level drivers, is used to inform the snapshotter that a block move operation is not logically meaningful. When the logically insignificant move is of a block whose data forms part of the data captured in the snapshot virtual volume, and when the move is to a block location that is functioning as logical free space, the snapshotter can simply modify its block bitmap and update translation table entries without needing to perform a copy-on-write. | 04-22-2010 |

20140131921 | PROCESS FOR SELECTIVE LASER MELTING AND SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SAID PROCESS - A component is manufactured by selective laser melting by a laser having an intensity profile set largely constant by a diffractive optical element, so that the treatment surface which has occurred as a result of this profile is melted uniformly on the surface of the component. Thermal load peaks, such as occur due to an intensity maximum of an unshaped laser, can therefore be advantageously avoided. Moreover, the treatment surface may, for example, have a square shape, so that, in the case of rectangular components, it becomes simpler to produce the corners of the cross section to be manufactured. Overall, as a result, components having improved surface quality can be produced. The system is equipped with suitable optics for generating the intensity profile described. | 05-15-2014 |
