Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120047198SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING A PROVIDER'S ONLINE STATUS IN A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK - A system manages communications between a provider and a requestor in a distributed network. A requestor is implemented on a computing device and provides a stay online binding. The stay online binding identifies a binding that is desired by the requestor. A provider is implemented on a computing device and provides a binding. The provider receives the stay online binding from the requestor and continues providing the binding because the provider became aware of the stay online binding.02-23-2012

20100186470PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR COATING A CONTROLLED RELEASE PRODUCT IN A ROTATING DRUM - The present invention is directed to a process for coating a substrate in a rotating drum, wherein a pocket is created in a substrate bed into which pocket coating materials are delivered. Also provided is a controlled release product produced according to this process, and an apparatus for carrying out the process.07-29-2010
20100233332PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A COATED PRODUCT - The present invention relates to a process for producing a coated product comprising: (a) coating a substrate with a coating material to form a coated substrate; and (b) stabilizing the coated substrate to form the coated product; wherein the operating parameter of substrate-substrate contact and coated substrate-coated substrate contact differs between step a) and step b), such that in step b) the contact is minimized. An apparatus is also provided.09-16-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100325377SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTORING DATA ON DEMAND FOR INSTANT VOLUME RESTORATION - A technique is disclosed for restoring data of sparse volumes, where one or more block pointers within the file system structure are marked as ABSENT, and fetching the appropriate data from an alternate location on demand. Client data access requests to the local storage system initiate a restoration of the data from a backing store as required. A demand generator can also be used to restore the data as a background process by walking through the sparse volume and restoring the data of absent blocks. A pump module is also disclosed to regulate the access of the demand generator. Once all the data has been restored, the volume contains all data locally, and is no longer a sparse volume.12-23-2010

20110176546SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING MULTICAST TRAFFIC OVER A NETWORK - A method for reducing multicast traffic over a network is described. A control request is received. A first ranking indicator associated with the control request is compared with a second ranking indicator associated with a node that received the control request. A first response to the control request is generated. The first response is stored in a queue. A second response associated with the control request is received. The first response is removed from the queue without being sent to the network.07-21-2011
