Patent number: 11989434Abstract: In a data storage system that includes two or more storage engines in interconnected by a channel-based fabric, highly deduplicated data is identified and promoted to a dedupe performance tier characterized by mirrors on each of the storage engines. Blocks of deduplication data are scored based on reference counts and read-miss access patterns. Promotion of blocks to the dedupe performance tier and demotion of blocks from the dedupe performance tier are calculated based on the scores. Performance is enhanced by enabling highly deduplicated blocks to be accessed from engine-local memory and engine-local storage via switches rather than the channel-based fabric.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: John Creed, Owen Martin

Patent number: 11959506Abstract: A spindle nut retainer is used with a spindle with a flat portion on its threaded end. The flat portion interrupts the threads on the threaded end. A washer with a mating flat portion is slidably mounted over the threaded end and a nut is removably threaded to the threaded end of the spindle against the washer to set the preload on bearings. The nut retainer overlays a plurality of the corners of the nut and engages the threaded portion of the spindle with tangs. A majority of the tangs are flexed or bent to remain in biased contact with the threads on the spindle. Some of the tangs are located over the flat portion and remain unbent. The tangs resist rotation of the nut by engagement with the flat portion where it meets the threads.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Dexter Axle Company LLCInventors: Timothy Allen Meckstroth, Ernest Martin, John Robert Jurek
