Publication number: 20240191430Abstract: Methods for making fire retardant material including fire retardant cellulosic insulation are described. The methods include arrangements for partitioning fibers derived from fiber feedstocks and adding at least a portion of fibers of one or more feedstocks and a fire retardancy chemical compound to a mixer prior to fiber drying. The fibers may be disentangled and/or partitioned prior to mixing with the fire retardancy chemical compound. The fibers may be partially dewatered prior to the drying or other steps of the methods. The feedstock may include old newsprint (ONP), old corrugated containers (OCC), and/or other cellulose-based materials. The method further includes retaining the fibers feedstock and the chemical compound together for enough time to ensure adherence and impregnation of enough of the chemical to and in the fibers after the drying process. Fibers may be partitioned and disentangled prior to, during, and/or after treatment with the fire retardancy compound.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: June 13, 2024Applicant: ClLEANFIBER INC..Inventors: Jonathan Strimling, Mark Brandstein, Curtis Fischer

Patent number: 11965979Abstract: A test device for testing a detection device includes a reflection element with reflective surface where the reflective surface is a radar reflective surface and/or an ultrasound reflective surface. The reflection element is movable by a drive device periodically back and forth in a translational movement along a movement axis with respect to a housing of the test device. A movement of the reflection element produces a relative speed unequal to zero of the test device with respect to the detection device.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventor: Jonathan Fischer

Patent number: 11372555Abstract: A method and system may reconstruct data in a smart storage array where upon detection of data inconsistency, an application of the system is notified and affected data strips are rebuilt. When an initiator detects stripe corruption, the initiator may report the strip corruption to storage. The storage may lock the strip for I/O operations. Initiators may determine recovery scenarios for rebuilding the data strips and send the scenarios to storage. At storage, initiator replies may be collected, and a rebuild option with the highest votes may be automatically determined for a reconstruction operation. Once the reconstruction operation is completed, the rebuilt stripe may be unlocked and data operations may recommence.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Asaf Porat-Stoler, Constantine Gavrilov, Christopher M. Dennett, Rivka Mayraz Matosevich, Sergey Marenkov, Jonathan Fischer-Toubol, Afief Halumi

Patent number: 10970254Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving data, storing chunks of the data in fixed size blocks in physical storage, and deduplicating a copy of the data. The storing includes splitting some of the data chunks into portions for filling the fixed size blocks. Metadata is stored with the data chunks for chaining the associated portions of the split data chunks together. The deduplicating including creating a pointer to a first of the data chunks. A computer program product for utilizing free space in physical storage, according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Asaf Porat-Stoler, Jonathan Fischer-Toubol, Shai Tahar, Afief Halumi
