Patent number: 8751453Abstract: Various methods and systems for using email to convey backup and restore data are disclosed. One method involves: receiving a request to perform a backup system operation; generating an email that includes data and metadata (which is associated with the data); and sending the email to an email address associated with a backup system component. The request can be a backup request, in which case the data includes data to be backed up, and the backup system component is a backup server. Alternatively, the request can be receiving a restore request. In this scenario, the data includes data to be restored, and the backup system component is a backup client.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Symantec Operations CorporationInventors: Ajit Vishnu Dhumale, Mukul Kumar, John Richard Swift, Atul Avinash Nene, Anand Gopinath Das

Patent number: 8709539Abstract: A process and an apparatus for producing a composite material utilize a rotatable hollow body that is inclined with an upstream side being higher than a downstream side. A reaction zone is defined within an elongated chamber in the hollow body. Protrusions inwardly extend from an inner peripheral wall of the hollow body adjacent to the reaction zone. Base material is input into the chamber via a base material introduction port and a carbon source vapor is input into the chamber via a carbon source supply port. A heater heats the reaction zone to a temperature at which carbon nanotubes form on the base material from the carbon source vapor. The protrusions catch base material disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the hollow body when the hollow body rotates and then drop the base material through the reaction zone so that the base material contacts the carbon source vapor.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignees: Meijo University, Meijo Nano Carbon Co., Ltd., Masuoka Ceramic Materials Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Ando, Mukul Kumar, Takeshi Hashimoto, Norio Kurauchi, Hirotaka Masuoka, Akira Kagohashi

Patent number: 8694538Abstract: A method and apparatus for logging write requests to a storage volume in a network data switch is described. In one example, a switch component in a switch receives a write request from a host server. The write request is associated with a destination in the storage volume. A logging element is identified that is associated with the destination of the write request. The logging element may be a switch component in the switch (e.g., a virtualization card), or may be dedicated logging circuitry in the switch. The identified logging element then logs a write intent for the destination in a log.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Symantec Operating CorporationInventors: Gopal Sharma, Santosh S. Rao, Amitava Guha, Raghu Krishnamurthy, Múkul Kumar

Patent number: 8443119Abstract: Auto-trespass can be at least temporarily disabled subsequent to an automatic failover. The automatic failover exchanges roles between an active path and a passive path, such that the passive path becomes the active path and vice versa. By disabling auto-trespass, hosts that are unaware that the automatic failover has occurred will not trigger another failover when those hosts attempt to perform I/O operations via the formerly-active path. This can reduce performance decreases that would otherwise occur due to the active role being traded in a “ping-pong” manner between the paths.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Symantec Operating CorporationInventors: Prasad Limaye, Mukul Kumar, Mayuresh Phadke
