| 20110282594 | Board Sports Sensing Devices, And Associated Methods - A system assesses activity of a sportsman engaged in board sports. At least one sensor detects movement of the sportsman, and a processor processes data from the sensor to assess activity of the sportsman. Activity of sportsmen engaged in human powered sports is compared. A plurality of activity sensing units is associated with the sportsman. Each of the units (a) attach to one of either the sportsman or to a human powered vehicle ridden by the sportsman, and (b) wirelessly communicate activity to a remote location. The activity comprising one or more of airtime, speed, drop distance, power and energy absorbed. A database, accessible by Internet and connected to the remote location, provides access to the activity via the Internet. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110313731 | PRESSURE SENSING SYSTEMS FOR SPORTS, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A system determines athletic performance. A pressure sensor senses change in elevation.

| 20120078915 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLOUD-BASED DIRECTORY SYSTEM BASED ON HASHED VALUES OF PARENT AND CHILD STORAGE LOCATIONS - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for a cloud-based directory system based on hashed values of parent and child storage locations. Platforms and techniques are provided to store a data object to cloud storage resources in two or more locations recorded in a consistent hash structure. A file management tool can store one copy of the data object to a location corresponding to the hashed value of the file path or name, and a second copy to a location corresponding to the hashed value of the parent directory of the data object. All files sharing a common parent directory or other location therefore have at least one copy stored to the same location, in common with the parent. Directory-wide read, write, and/or search operations can therefore be performed more efficiently, since the constituent files of a directory or other location can be accessed from one location rather than distributed locations. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120078946 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING FILES IN CLOUD-BASED NETWORKS - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for monitoring files in cloud-based networks. In particular, a file managing module can manage the access and retrieval of files stored in cloud-based networks on a distributed basis. In embodiments, the file managing module can receive a file access request from a requesting entity. The file managing module can use the file access request to determine a storage location mapped to a hash structure. Generation numbers associated with the both the storage location and the actual file at the storage location can be compared to determine whether the file has been unexpectedly modified or relocated. The file managing module can sync any discrepancy between the generation numbers and retrieve the file for the requesting entity. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120078948 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEARCHING A CLOUD-BASED DISTRIBUTED STORAGE RESOURCES USING A SET OF EXPANDABLE PROBES - Embodiments relate to systems and methods for searching a cloud-based file storage system using a set of expandable probes. Platforms and techniques are provided to search for a file whose location in cloud storage resources is recorded in a consistent hash ring structure. In a hash ring, a file name can generate a hash output corresponding to a position around a circle. The closest clockwise node to that location can contain the file itself, or a link to another location containing or leading to the file. When a link has become obsolete and no longer points to the file, it may be necessary to search for that file. Embodiments perform a graduated search for the missing file, starting one node from the original node, then trying two adjacent nodes, then four adjacent nodes and so forth in expanding fashion, until the file is found or the hash structure is exhausted. | 03-29-2012 |
