Publication number: 20130339295Abstract: A distributed storage system is provided. The distributed storage system includes multiple front-end servers and zones for managing data for clients. Data within the distributed storage system is associated with a plurality of accounts and divided into a plurality of groups, each group including a plurality of splits, each split being associated with a respective account, and each group having multiple tablets and each tablet managed by a respective tablet server of the distributed storage system. Data associated with different accounts may be replicated within the distributed storage system using different data replication policies. There is no limit to the amount of data for an account by adding new splits to the distributed storage system. In response to a client request for a particular account's data, a front-end server communicates such request to a particular zone that has the client-requested data and returns the client-requested data to the requesting client.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: Google, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Adgate Dean, Michael James Boyer Epstein, Andrew Fikes, Sanjay Ghemawat, Wilson Cheng-Yi Hsieh, Alexander Lloyd, Yasushi Saito, Michal Piotr Szymaniak, Sebastian Kanthak, Chris Jorgen Taylor

Publication number: 20130318146Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for committing transactions on remote servers is presented. Commit requests are issued to remote servers in a set of remote servers to request that the remote servers in the set of remote servers agree to commit a transaction at a first designated future time. When responses from the remote servers in the set of remote servers are received before a first abort time and indicate that all remote servers in the set of remote servers have agreed to commit the transaction at the first designated future time, commit commands are issued to the remote servers in the set of remote servers instructing the remote servers to perform the transaction at the first designated future time.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Sebastian Kanthak, Alexander Lloyd, Chris Jorgen Taylor, Andrew Fikes

Publication number: 20120156073Abstract: In a peristaltic medical infusion pump unit, comprising a peristaltic assembly and a counter surface or anvil facing said peristaltic assembly and provided by the inner surface of a door pivotally mounted on a housing of the unit, the door is readily non-destructively removable and replaceable. In use of the peristaltic pump unit, a flexible resilient tube forming part of a medical fluid delivery line is extended between the peristaltic assembly and the counter surface or anvil provided by the door. The medical fluid delivery line has first and second color coded fittings spaced therealong upstream and downstream of the peristaltic assembly and the region of the housing of the pump unit across which the infusion line is extended is provided, correspondingly spaced above and below the peristaltic assembly with correspondingly color coded support means for these fittings.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2012Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Bryant Haylor, Simon Francis Everleigh, Rene Werner Ruedi, Alexander Lloyd, James Gower Johnson Shearn

Patent number: 7650432Abstract: Providing a framework for developing, deploying and managing sophisticated mobile solutions, with a simple Web-like programming model that integrates with existing enterprise components. Mobile applications may consist of a data model definition, user interface templates, a client side controller, which includes scripts that define actions, and, on the server side, a collection of conduits, which describe how to mediate between the data model and the enterprise. In one embodiment, the occasionally-connected application server assumes that data used by mobile applications is persistently stored and managed by external systems. The occasionally-connected data model can be a metadata description of the mobile application's anticipated usage of this data, and be optimized to enable the efficient traversal and synchronization of this data between occasionally connected devices and external systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: BEA Systems, Inc.Inventors: Adam Bosworth, Richard Burdon, Alexander Khesin, Alexander Lloyd, Farokh H.

Publication number: 20040215552Abstract: An apparatus and method for electronically managing and approving a loan application. The apparatus may include a document administration module, a loan officer module, an underwriting module, and an administration module, with each of the modules interacting with one another. Further, at least one of the modules operates on a document, and a plurality of the modules may simultaneously operate on the loan application. The method may receive a loan application, generate an indication of at least one document required to approve the loan application, electronically receive the at least one document, store the at least document, provide access to the at least one document; electronically underwrite the at least one document, and in response to electronically underwriting the at least one document, electronically approve the loan application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventors: Joel A.

Publication number: 20040193553Abstract: Due to the inability of merchants to secure their data, the credit card/debit card/bank number information must be hidden in a way that the merchant receives only what is needed to process the order. For the system to be immune to hackers, it must be hardware and software based. The invention is a process in which consumer's information is put into a hardware device and encrypted into a package with two sections, the first which can be decrypted by merchants, the second which can be decrypted by credit card offices only. If the data is accurate, the transaction proceeds normally. This secures the credit card data 1) before a transaction occurs, 2) during a transaction, and 3) after a transaction occurs. This method of global protection is revolutionary and protects the credit card data in all possible ways, a solution that no other existing security solution even tries.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventors: Joseph Alexander Lloyd, Stephen Liberty, Miguel Loyoza
