| 20080228834 | Delaying Database Writes For Database Consistency - A continuous set of committed transactions can be lost without destroying the integrity of the database, by deferring the writing of the database pages stored in cache to the database on stable storage. A waypoint tracks a point in the transaction log following which transactions have not been applied to the database on stable storage and thus records after the waypoint are not needed for recovery to a consistent database. When there is a failover of an active database on Node A to a passive database on Node B, log records are compared starting with the most current and moving backwards and the point at which divergence in the log occurs is determined. When the lost portion of the log occurs after the point indicated by after the waypoint, the database is recoverable by log-based incremental reseed. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090319483 | GENERATION AND USE OF AN EMAIL FREQUENT WORD LIST - Technologies are described herein for generating a mailbox specific frequent word list associated with a mailbox. In one method, an index scan is performed on catalogs to retrieve search data mapping words to emails containing the words. The search data is provided across multiple mailboxes. A universal frequent word list is generated based on the search data. The mailbox specific frequent word list is generated based on the universal frequent word list. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090319525 | LOST WRITE PROTECTION VIA STREAM-BASED REPLICATION - Architecture for detecting lost writes using timestamps. During a replication process, lost writes in data replicated from a stream can be detected by noting discrepancies between the timestamps of data in the replica and timestamps associated with the corresponding data from the source in original data store. A lost write either in the original data store or in the replica data store can be inferred by comparing these timestamps with the timestamps in a number of other replica data stores. Additionally, check entries can be added to the replicas by the original data store to allow expanded comparison between recently modified data and the source data in the original data store. The check entries can be added to the replication journal after a time delay, thereby increasing effectiveness of the check by decreasing the likelihood that caching in the hardware will defeat the test. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20090320049 | THIRD TIER TRANSACTIONAL COMMIT FOR ASYNCHRONOUS REPLICATION - In embodiments consistent with the subject matter of this disclosure, an application program interface (API) for asynchronously replicating changes made to active data to one or more replicas of the active data may be provided. A calling application may call the API to asynchronously replicate changes made to the active data. Via an interface, the application may indicate whether the changes made to the active data may be asynchronously replicated to a geo-diverse replica of the data, a type of third tier commit for acknowledging replication of the changes to the active data, and/or a number or percentage of acknowledgments to receive with respect to the replication of the changes to the one or more replicas of the active data. Via the API, the calling application may further indicate an amount of time to wait for an acknowledgment of the asynchronous replicating of the changes before continuing. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20100114853 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES FOR USE IN UPDATING A PORTABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - The present embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for use in providing updating content to be played back in cooperation with a portable processor readable medium. Some of these methods receive, over a network and from a remote source, updated content to be accessed in association with a processor readable portable storage medium; receive, over the network from the remote source, in association with the received updated content a designation that the updated content is to be associated with a first placeholder title as defined in an index table being implemented in association with playback in association with the portable storage medium; and store the updated content, on a separate processor readable storage medium that is different than the portable storage medium, such that the updated content is associated with the first placeholder title and accessible in association with the first placeholder title as dictated by the index table. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20080200244 | Game collectibles - Some implementations of the invention allow patrons to earn a “collectible” during the course of playing a wagering game. A collectible (and/or a hierarchy of collectibles) may be associated with a particular casino. While playing a game, a player may have options to redeem one or more collectibles. In some such implementations, a collectible may activate special game features, such as a special bonus round, a higher paytable for a defined period of time, or other features described in detail herein. A collectible may persist after a gaming session is completed. Some implementations of the invention provide persistent collectibles only for patrons who are members of a player loyalty program. However, other implementations of the invention provide persistent collectibles even for patrons who are not members of a player loyalty program. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090147417 | GFCI with miswire protection having unitary receptacle and load conductors after proper installation - An improved GFCI device prevents miswiring. Load conductors are electrically isolated from receptacle conductors. Normally closed contacts are held open by a miswire prevention mechanism, such that if power is connected to the load contacts, power cannot be delivered to the GFCI device, the receptacle conductors or the line conductors. Once power is properly connected to the line conductors, a proper wiring detection circuit activates the miswire prevention mechanism to release the normally closed contacts, thereby electrically connecting the receptacle conductors and the load conductors. After proper installation, the receptacle conductors are preferably permanently connected to the load conductors. The device is preferably shipped in the reset state. | 06-11-2009 |
