  • Publication number: 20130339324
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transforming a logical data object for storage in a storage device configured to operate with at least one storage protocol. One method comprises creating in the storage device a transformed logical data object comprising a one or more allocated storage sections with a predefined size and receiving one or more data chunks corresponding to the transformed logical data object. The method further comprises determining if each received data chunk comprises a predefined criterion, transforming each data chunk that comprises the predefined criterion, maintaining each data chuck in raw form that does not comprise the predefined criterion, and sequentially storing each transformed data chuck and data chunk in raw form into said one or more allocated storage sections in accordance with an order said transformed data chunks and data chunks in raw form are received. One system comprises a processor configured to perform the above method.

  • Publication number: 20120297726
    Abstract: A molding for attachment to a flange portion includes a retention portion having first and second legs defining a channel for receiving the flange portion, and a support member coupled to the retention portion and movable relative thereto. The support member includes an outboard surface and an inboard surface. A film is disposed along the outboard surface of the support member. A clip is formed along and extends out from the first leg of the retention portion. The clip is engageable with the support member to lock the support member in place relative to the retention portion for positioning the film along the flange portion.
