Publication number: 20190245922Abstract: A server system comprising storage devices, processing devices and a storage fabric all operating according to a storage fabric protocol. The storage fabric comprises a plurality of individual switches having a modular design from which an overall switch is built, and the individual switches have individual respective configuration settings which determine which processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices. The system comprises an API enabling a software control function to configure the overall switch. The API is operable to receive from the control function an overall mapping of the storage devices to the processing devices instead of requiring the individual configuration settings of each of the individual switches to be specified by the control function, the API being configured to convert the overall mapping into the individual configuration settings of the individual switches to produce the overall mapping.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Serguei Anatolievitch LEGTCHENKO, Mark SHAW, Austin DONNELLY, Hugh WILLIAMS, Richard BLACK, Antony Ian Taylor ROWSTRON, Aaron OGUS, Douglas PHILLIPS

Patent number: 10107078Abstract: A hydraulically-powered subsea tool system has a tool (26) and a tool power unit (12). The tool (26) communicates with a first connector element (30) on a hydraulic drive circuit (82). The tool power unit (12) has a hydraulic supply circuit (88) communicating with a second connector element (20). The connector elements are wet-mated with each other to connect the circuits for powering the tool. The circuits are pressure-compensated by respective compensators (136,90). When the circuits are connected, a valve (140) is operable to transfer pressure compensation of one of the circuits from the compensator (136) of that circuit to the compensator (90) of the other circuit. The valve (140) suitably transfers pressure compensation of the drive circuit from a drive circuit compensator to a supply circuit compensator.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Subsea 7 LimitedInventors: Robert Ian Taylor, Graham Gibbons

Publication number: 20180081379Abstract: Low cost storage for write once read rarely data is described. In an embodiment a storage device comprises a plurality of hard disk drives connected to a server via an interconnect fabric. The storage device comprises a cooling system which is only capable of cooling a first subset of the hard disk drives and a power supply system which is only capable of powering a second subset of the hard disk drives and in some examples, the interconnect fabric may be only capable of providing full bandwidth for a third subset of the hard disk drives. Each subset may comprise only a small fraction of hard disk drives. A control mechanism, which may be implemented in software, is provided which controls which hard disk drives are active at any time in order that the constraints set by the cooling and power supply systems and interconnect fabric are not violated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Shobana M.

Publication number: 20180060512Abstract: Image processing engines can be utilized to inject studies into other commercial or independently-developed peer review systems which are designed to review the medical findings identified by a set of physicians. Image processing engines detect, confirm or verify findings by physicians or other engines, where the engines operate as peer reviewers. The engines can prospectively “learn” from the feedback when these images are reviewed by the physicians during diagnostic interpretation creating a closed-loop quality assurance process and fostering a community platform approach to engine development which is supported by the security, governance, access control, regulatory compliance and other features of the Peer Review System. Utilizing machine learning based on the data collected from peer review, the Peer Review System can adapt and improve its performance as well as the measured performance of the physicians using the system for diagnostic interpretation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Jeffrey Sorenson, Tiecheng Zhao, David W.

Patent number: 9792427Abstract: Methods for enforcing confidentiality and integrity of code and data while running the code over the data in a distributed computing system are described. In an embodiment each machine which processes data within the system provides a secure sub-system which is protected from other parts of the machine and which receives encrypted data and encrypted code, processes the data using the received code and outputs encrypted data. When establishing the secure sub-systems, keys are exchanged between the client and secure sub-systems and the secure sub-systems provide an attestation confirming the identity of the code running in the secure sub-systems and confirming that the code is running on genuine secure sub-systems. In another embodiment a data-flow computation system is described in which chunks of input data, each comprising an identifier, are authenticated/encrypted. The identifiers are used within the system to confirm that each chunk is processed exactly once.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Manuel Costa, Felix Schuster, Cedric Fournet, Christos Gkantsidis, Marcus Peinado, Antony Ian Taylor Rowstron
