Patent number: 10372329Abstract: Storage systems store data in a storage pool comprising storage devices or virtual devices. The storage pool may be allocated for a particular purpose. If a virtual device within the storage pool needs to be repurposed, the virtual device is removed from the storage pool. Data is moved from the removed virtual device to one or more target virtual devices. Segments of the source virtual device being removed are copied to target virtual devices. Mapping tables associating source segments with target segments are stored. If the storage system receives a request to access data stored on a virtual device that is removed, the storage system processes the mapping tables to determine where the data is stored.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: DELPHIX CORP.Inventors: Matthew Allan Ahrens, Alexander Warner Reece, George Raymond Wilson

Patent number: 10346369Abstract: A storage system maintains copies of a source database to allow virtual databases to be provisioned. Transaction logs received from the source database are applied to database blocks stored in the storage system to update the database blocks. The storage system checks if there are defect in the transaction logs of the source database. If a defect in transaction logs is detected, the storage system obtains a latest copy of the source database. The storage system matches database blocks of the received copy with database blocks already available in the storage system to determine whether a corresponding database block is already available in the storage system. If a received database block is different from database blocks already available at the storage system, the received database block is stored in the storage system. The database blocks may be matched using a hash value of the database blocks.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: DELPHIX CORP.Inventors: Matthew Allen Ahrens, Subhadeep Sinha, George Raymond Wilson, Jeffrey Karr Biseda

Patent number: 8201777Abstract: An external door for use in accessing a cargo area of an aircraft fuselage. The door includes a locking system, a latching system, a lock monitoring system, an uplock used to secure the door in an open position, and an actuating system that assists in at least one of opening and closing the door. The locking system works by interfering with the movement of the latching system components. The locking system includes a monitoring device that prevents the aircraft from being pressurized in case of a malfunction in the locking system. The latching system includes a handle locking system that prevents operation of the latch handle by accident or by ground loading or flight forces.

Publication number: 20030005696Abstract: The “Internal Combustion Engine Energy Extractor” is a device that is extracts otherwise wasted heat from both the engine exhaust system and it's cooling system. This heat is converted into mechanical energy, which is 1) used to power the “Extractor” and 2) may be used for auxiliary engine devices, such as an intake air supercharger or an electrical generator. The Energy Extractor by itself 1) increases engine efficiency and power by decreasing exhaust back pressure and 2) decreases engine wear by decreasing the cylinder and engine temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2001Publication date: January 9, 2003Inventor: Benjamin Raymond Wilson

Patent number: 6278262Abstract: An auxiliary power unit (“APU”) system and methods used to bring such system on-line and off-line are disclosed. An APU generator forming part of an APU system, is brought “on-line” smoothly in order to replace a primary generator operating at a steady-state rotational speed that is interconnected with a load. A controller forming part of the APU system controls rotational speed of the APU and thereby the generator so that it approaches a rotational speed beneath the steady-state rotational speed of the primary generator. The controller then connects the APU generator to the load and the primary generator. This causes the APU generator to motor at the steady-state rotational speed dictated by the primary generator. Thereafter, the controller may increase rotational speed of the APU generator until it provides power to the load and the primary generator may be disconnected from the load.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1999Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.Inventor: Richard Raymond Wilson Ullyott

Patent number: 4000445Abstract: This trip circuit comprises a DC source and the series combination of a trip coil and a thyristor connected across the source. Connected between the source and the gate circuit of the thyristor is a triggering circuit including protective relay contacts that are operable to cause current from the source to flow through the triggering circuit and the gate circuit, thus firing the thyristor to produce effective energization of the trip coil. For producing effective energization of the trip coil in the event that the thyristor fails to fire, there is provided back-up energizing means in the form of a low ohmic resistor connected externally of the thyristor between its gate circuit and its cathode for providing a conductive path in series with the trip coil and the triggering circuit through which effective energizing current from the source can flow through the trip coil.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1975Date of Patent: December 28, 1976Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Walter Raymond Wilson
