| 20110153976 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO ALLOCATE FILE STORAGE VIA TREE REPRESENTATIONS OF A BITMAP - Methods and apparatuses that search tree representations of a bitmap for available blocks to allocate in storage devices are described. An allocation request for a file may be received to initiate the search. In one embodiment, the bitmap may include an array of bits corresponding to blocks in the storage devices. Each bit may indicate whether one of the blocks is available. The tree representations may include at least one red-black tree having nodes corresponding to one or more consecutive bits in the bitmap indicating an extent of available blocks. One of the tree representations may be selected according to a file associated with an allocation request to identify an extent of available block matching the allocation request. The tree representations may be synchronized as the bitmap is updated with changes of block allocations in the storage devices. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110161381 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO OPTIMIZE UPDATES IN A FILE SYSTEM BASED ON BIRTH TIME - Methods and apparatuses that maintain birth time for a file system to optimize file update operations are described. The file system can include a plurality of snapshots or clones of data stored in one or more extents of blocks allocated in a storage device. Each extent may be associated with a time stamp according to the birth time. A request may be received from an executable using the file system to update data in a particular extent associated with a particular time stamp. In response, the current birth time in the file system and the particular time stamp may be compared to determine if the particular extent is not shared by more than one of the snapshots. If the particular time stamp is equal to the current birth time, the particular extent may be updated directly without performing an expensive operation to check whether a reference count of the particular extent is equal to one. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110167239 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR USAGE BASED ALLOCATION BLOCK SIZE TUNING - Methods and apparatuses that maintain an access history of a file allocated with allocation blocks in storage devices are described. In response to receiving a usage request to allocate additional space for the file, an allocation block size may be adjusted or adapted based on the access history. The storage devices may be allocated with one or more allocation blocks using the adapted allocation block size to provide requested space for the file. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20120059103 | FLUID ACTIVATABLE ADHESIVES AND FLUIDS FOR ACTIVATING SAME FOR USE WITH LINER-FREE LABELS - Fluid activatable adhesive compositions and activating fluid(s) for activating the adhesive composition are described herein. The adhesive compositions contain at least two polymers with different hydrophilicities. The hydrophilic polymer has quick tack when exposed to a hydrophilic solvent, such as water or other aqueous solvent, while the hydrophobic polymer provides strong adhesion to a paper or polymeric substrate. The adhesive composition may contain particulate fillers which enable fast exhaustion of the activation fluid out of the adhesive when applied to a substrate, thereby allowing the hydrophobic polymers of the adhesive composition to achieve strong adhesion of the liner-free label to the paper or polymeric substrate. The particulate fillers may also function as anti-blocking agents when liner-free label media are tightly wound in a roll. The adhesive compositions described herein may be used not only on paper, cardboard, and metal, but also on glass and plastics commonly used in commercial applications. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20090255198 | Structure Having Multiple Interwoven Structural Members Enhanced for Resistance of Multi-Directional Force - A structural assembly has a first set of first elongate structural members alternately spaced apart from a second set of second elongate structural members by locking blocks, the first set defining a first plane and the second set defining a second plane forming an intersection at an angle with the first plane, the structural members and locking blocks defining an assembly of adjoined blocks and structural members at the intersection, and a compressive mechanism spanning the assembly of adjoined blocks and structural members at the intersection. Compressing the adjoined blocks and structural members by the spanning compression mechanism locks the blocks and structural members together in a manner to resist applied forces. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20090014456 | CONTAINER CLOSURE WITH DEFORMABLE REGION IN SKIRT TO ALLOW PIVOTING - A closure for a container is provided. The container may have a base and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall may have a rim forming an upper margin of the peripheral wall and surrounding the opening of the container. The rim may have an external protrusion formed integrally with the rim and surrounding the rim. The closure may have an overlying closure portion adapted to overlie the opening of the container when the closure is mounted on the container. A skirt may be formed integrally with the overlying closure portion to surround the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. The skirt may include a first portion that is positionable adjacent to and to surround an external upper end of the rim, and may include a second portion that is connected to the first portion via a connection. The second portion may extend downwardly from the first portion to surround the rim below its upper end when the closure is mounted on the container. The second portion may include a first ledge which is designed for an interlocking engagement with the external protrusion of the rim. A deformable region may be provided in the second portion such that the deformable region may be deformed to facilitate pivoting of the second portion with respect to the first portion to disengage the first ledge from the external protrusion of the rim. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100038364 | Resealable Flexible Container Lid with Pivoting Portions - A closure is disclosed for a container. The container comprises a base and a peripheral wall. A rim forms an upper margin of the wall and surrounds an opening of the container. An external protrusion is formed integrally with and surrounds the rim. A portion of the closure is adapted to overlie the opening of the container. A skirt is formed integrally with the closure portion and is arranged to surround the rim when the closure is mounted to the container. The skirt comprises a first portion that is positionable adjacent to and to surround an external upper end of the rim. The skirt further comprises a second portion that is connected to the first portion at a connection and that extends downwardly therefrom to surround the rim below its upper end. The second portion also comprises an integrally formed first ledge located therewithin that is positionable to locate in interlocking engagement with the external protrusion. The connection has a width W sufficiently greater than its thickness so as to facilitate pivoting of the second portion with respect to the first portion to enable disengagement of the first ledge from the external protrusion. The second portion can also comprise a continuous and unbroken profile moving around the closure. | 02-18-2010 |
