Patent number: 10496627Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for managing data objects within a computer network infrastructure that facilitate more efficient and reliable data storage and access are provided. An exemplary method may comprise establishing a physical identifier for each storage resource. A plurality of unique virtual identifiers for each storage resource is generated based on the physical identifier. The plurality of unique virtual identifiers is stored in a consistent ring namespace accessible to every node. An object identifier associated with a location of a data object to be stored in a storage resource is generated. The object identifier is mapped to the consistent ring namespace. The method may also include enabling traversing the consistent ring namespace from any node in the computer network to locate and access the data object.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: STORAGECRAFT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Charles Hardin, Sridhar Subramaniam, Tad Hunt, Frank E.

Publication number: 20160012537Abstract: Aspects provide for the automatic identification and execution of investment opportunities in entities associated with graphic image subject matter. In response to user selection of graphic elements displayed within a graphical user interface display, a corporate entity is identified that is associated with the graphic element and with an opportunity for investment by the user in the corporate entity, and an associated selectable investment icon is generated and displayed. Selection of the selectable investment icon by the user, displays a selectable investment execution graphic element describing investment offer conditions for the associated corporate entity. Selection of the selectable investment icon automatically executes the offer for investment in the associated corporate entity pursuant to the described conditions, thereby acquiring an investment in the corporate entity for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventor: Albert Charles Hardin

Patent number: 6470382Abstract: A method to dynamically attach, manage, and access a LAN-attached SCSI and netSCSI device to a network. In one embodiment, the present invention recites a method for dynamically attaching, managing, and accessing a netSCSI device coupled to a network. In one step, a broadcast message from the netSCSI device, providing a network address of the netSCSI device, is received at a computer coupled to the network. In another step, the network address of the netSCSI device is mapped to a logical SCSI ID in the computer. With another step, the computer claims ownership of the netSCSI device by transmitting a message of ownership to it and including its own, network address. Finally, communication to the netSCSI device is performed by accessing the address map.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1999Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Peter Si-Sheng Wang, Charles Hardin
