20090205629Barbecue grill - A barbecue grill includes a pot-shaped grill body and a pan supporting the grill body. The grill body is formed with air holes arranged along the bottom edge thereof at angular intervals of 90°. The pan is formed with protrusions arranged along its edge at angular intervals of 90°. During burning, the grill body is placed on the pan such that the air holes are located between the adjacent protrusions, respectively. In this state, the air holes are open, so that air can be easily taken in. To extinguish fire, the grill body is horizontally turned relative to the pan until the air holes are hermetically closed by the respective protrusions, and a lid is placed on the grill body. In this state, air supply into the grill completely stops, so that fire can be extinguished quickly.08-20-2009

20090106407CONTENT TRANSFER SYSTEM, CONTENT TRANSFER METHOD AND HOME SERVER - Provided are a content transfer system, a content transfer method, and a home server capable of backing up all backup target contents without having to transfer all backup target contents. This content transfer system includes a home storage and an online storage. The home storage transfers identifying information of a backup target content to the online storage and requests the online storage to determine the existence of a content that is identical to the backup target content upon requesting the online storage to back up the backup target content, transfers metadata to the online storage when an identical content exists in the online storage, and transfers the backup target content to the online storage in all other cases.04-23-2009

20090015711RELAY APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A home gateway is an apparatus that transmits information, which is received from an intercom slave unit, to a plurality of appliances each having a communication function. The home gateway includes a demultiplexing circuit, a wireless communication circuit, a memory, a video codec circuit, and a CPU. The demultiplexing circuit receives information from the intercom slave unit. The wireless communication circuit communicates with the plurality of appliances. The memory stores profiles and levels. The video codec circuit converts image information received from the intercom slave unit according to a profile and a level. The CPU controls the wireless communication circuit and the video codec circuit. Thereby, various data can be transmitted regardless of structures and performance capabilities of the appliances.01-15-2009

20080229048Method and apparatus for chunk allocation in a thin provisioning storage system - Physical storage space in a storage system is not allocated to a segment of a targeted volume until the segment of the volume is first targeted for storing write data. When write data is received, the storage system determines whether the targeted volume is designated for storing a first data type that is accessed frequently by I/O operations or designated for storing a second data type that is accessed less frequently than the first data type. Physical storage space for storing the write data is allocated from a first logical partition of the physical storage designated for storing the first data type when the targeted volume is of the first data type and from a second logical partition of the physical storage designated for storing the second data type when the targeted volume is of the second data type. Allocation of frequently accessed data is controlled and performance bottlenecking avoided.09-18-2008
