20090019245 | METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA FORMATS ON A REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE STORAGE SYSTEM - An archiving system including one or more removable disk drives embedded in removable disk cartridges, referred to simply as removable disk drives. The removable disk drives allow for expandability and replacement such that the archiving system need not be duplicated to add new or more storage capacity. In embodiments, the removable disk drives store metadata that contain information about the data stored on the removable disk drive. The metadata allows the system to retrieve the correct data from the random access memory and establishes controls on the data stored on the removable disk drive. In embodiments, the metadata is stored in two locations, such that, if the metadata in one location is corrupted, the second copy of the metadata may be retrieved. | 01-15-2009 |
20090094415 | METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ARRAY OF REMOVABLE DISK DRIVES - Embodiments provide systems and methods for storing data on two or more removable disk drives. The two or more removable disk drives are inserted into a modular drive bay having two or more drive ports. Embodiments of the modular drive bay include a switch to redirect operations to a drive port. By arraying the drive ports, the removable disk drives may be replaced without needing to readdress the removable disk drives when new removable disk drives are inserted. Thus, the modular drive bay does not require configuration changes when new removable disk drives are inserted. | 04-09-2009 |
20100023956 | METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EJECT SERVICE FOR A REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE - Embodiments provide systems and methods for ejecting a removable disk drive. To prevent data corruption from the eject operation, a shell extension can be stored in the server requesting the eject. The shell extension can monitor and intercept eject commands from the operating system of the server and send the commands to an eject service. The eject service, in embodiments, checks the status of the removable disk drive and ejects the removable disk drive only when the removable disk drive is not busy with another operation. | 01-28-2010 |

20080262870 | Computerized Treatment Order and Associated Alert Processing System - A system enables users to identify alert checking performed, identify treatment orders and allergies associated with alerts, link medications and allergies with alert descriptions, and preview pending results of various alert resolution actions. A computerized treatment order and associated alert processing system employs a repository including information identifying candidate treatments for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. A user interface processor uses information from the repository for providing data representing an alert preview single display image in response to user selection of candidate treatments for order. The single display image identifies multiple candidate treatment orders including multiple related order parameters as well as multiple alert messages indicating potential adverse health consequences to a particular patient from administering the multiple candidate treatments to the particular patient. The single display image also associates individual alert messages with candidate treatment orders enabling a user to identify individual alert messages associated with an individual treatment order of the multiple candidate treatment orders. | 10-23-2008 |
