Abstract: A system and method for efficiently relocating and initializing a block of memory of the computer system. For data initialization and data relocation, multiple registers in a processor are used for intermediate storage of data to be written into the memory. Regardless of whether the amount of data to initialize or relocate is aligned with the register data size, the processor writes the data into the destination buffer with write operations that only utilize the register data size. The write operations utilize the register data size when each of the start and the end of the destination buffer is aligned with the register width, when the start of the destination buffer is unaligned with the register width, when a source buffer and the destination buffer are unaligned with one another for a copy operation, and when the source buffer and the destination buffer overlap.

Abstract: Casing assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising an annular cross section casing around which a plurality of layers of flexible material are wound. One or more rigid panels are positioned between the wound flexible material and the annular casing. The rigid panel provides enhanced containment of a detached fan blade or part of a fan blade by distributing the load of the detached blade across the wound flexible material.

Abstract: In a compiler for the GDMO language, a verified and ordered output list of GDMO templates is provided by a method that lists each template in the output list such that all listed templates are preceded in the list by templates that are referenced by a listed template.

Abstract: Information on GDMO managed objects, including class hierarchy and the name binding templates, is compiled into a naming table. This naming table is built from an inheritance table and the name binding template information. The inheritance table indicates the inheritance hierarchy of the managed object classes. The compiler builds the inheritance table as a square matrix with a row and column for each class, and the classes arranged in an ordered list from highest to lowest in hierarchy. The compiler enters a one at each position in the inheritance table to indicate that the managed object class in the row inherits from the managed class in the column.With the inheritance table as a ready reference, the compiler builds the naming table from the name binding templates available as listed in the GDMO source files. The naming table is a square matrix identical to the inheritance table except the entries in the naming table are not ones and zeros.

Abstract: Managed Object Instances (MOIs) in a network of OSI computing systems are created, or deleted, without disrupting their interaction with other managed object instances. This is accomplished by a multi-phase commit process operation where in the first phase, a create or delete request is verified, and the CMIP platform places the created or deleted MOI on a pending list in the CMIP platform, along with information identifying the location of the MOI in a hierarchy of MOIs. In the second phase, the object being created or deleted is asked to accept, or reject, the request. The object responds saying that it accepts or rejects the request. If the request is acceptable, the CMIP platform finishes the object's connection to the tree hierarchy, or disconnects the object from the tree. Then the CMIP platform sends back a message to the object to acknowledge the creation of the object, or to tell the object to delete itself. Finally, the CMIP platform sends a request completion message to the manager.
