Patent number: 11966614Abstract: A system, method, and machine-readable storage medium for restoring a data object for a specified active time period are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a storage device from a client, a request specifying an active time period for a data object to remain stored on an accessible tier. The method also includes determining, by the storage device, that the active time period has elapsed. The method further includes responsive to a determination that the active time period has elapsed, sending, by the storage device, a request to a server storing the data object to move the data object from the accessible tier to an archive tier. Data objects that are stored on the accessible tier are accessible by the client, and data objects that are stored on the archive tier are inaccessible by the client.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Alvis Yung, Song Guen Yoon, Raymond Yu Shun Mak, Chia-Chen Chu, Dheeraj Sangamkar, Robin Mahony

Patent number: 11861165Abstract: A system, method, and machine-readable storage medium for analyzing a state of a data object are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, at a storage device, a metadata request for the data object from a client. The data object is composed of a plurality of segments. The method also includes selecting a subset of the plurality of segments and obtaining a segment state for each segment of the subset. Each segment state indicates whether the respective segment is accessible via a backing store. The method further includes determining a most restrictive state of the one or more segment states and sending state information to the client in response to the metadata request, the state information being derived from the most restrictive state.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Raymond Yu Shun Mak, Aditya Kalyanakrishnan, Song Guen Yoon, Emalayan Vairavanathan, Dheeraj Sangamkar, Chia-Chen Chu

Publication number: 20230355261Abstract: An end effector drive mechanism has first and second pulleys and first and second jaws configured as a torque-amplifying tool assemblies. Each pulley jaw pair is configured as kinematic assembly having a compact footprint that can amplify outputs to increase the grip force applied by the jaws. The end effector drive mechanism is within a pulley envelope defined by the first and second pulleys. In certain configurations, the tool assemblies are configured to produce a grip force independent from a push-pull force that is exerted on (or by) the jaws. In certain configurations, the tool assemblies are configured to prevent undesirable reverse rotations and limit the range of travel of the jaws (or pulleys).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc.Inventor: Raymond YU

Patent number: 11117147Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a flowable product from a container has a pump module mounted on the container at an opening thereof. The pump module includes a pump body, which defines a pump chamber and a pump chamber inlet for product to flow from the container interior into the pump chamber. A pump actuator is operable in a pumping stroke relative to the pump body to vary the volume of the pump chamber and dispense the product. The pump includes a movable body portion which is operable in a displacement stroke into the container. The movable portion has a displacement body with a product-engaging face directed onto an interior product space of the container upstream of the pump chamber inlet, to assist priming. Below this a disrupter member, a grid of narrow bars, projects to penetrate the product.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventors: Simon Christopher Knight, David John Pritchett, Thomas P.

Patent number: RE49026Abstract: The present invention relates to novel linear and cyclic polypeptides that bind to IL-23 receptor and inhibit the binding of IL-23 to its corresponding receptor and cell signaling thereof. The novel polypeptides of the present invention has a core structure of WX1X2X3W, where W is tryptophan, and X1, X2 and X3 are amino acids, with the proviso that when one of X1, X2 or X3 is W, the remaining two of X1, X2 or X3 cannot be W. Preferred core structures include WVDYW or WQDYW. The present invention relates a composition containing the novel polypeptides (linear or cyclic), and use of same in inhibiting cell functions including production of IL-22 and IL-17F from immune cells as well as in treating IL-23 associated human diseases including, for example, inflammatory bowel diseases, psoriasis and Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORIES, LLCInventors: Grant Gallagher, Raymond Yu, Jonathan Brazaitis
