Patent number: 11093442Abstract: Data containers are stored at a first cloud and include file segments managed by a deduplication file system. Metadata containers are written to a log, identified by a container ID generated sequentially, and include references to data containers. An index is maintained to map segment fingerprints to container IDs. Upon starting a migration to a second cloud, a checkpoint is created identifying a container ID at a head of the log. During migration, the index is updated to map fingerprints of migrated segments to new container IDs, and referencing new data containers having the migrated segments and written to the second cloud. A request to read a file is received. The index is examined to identify a container ID associated with a data container storing segments of the file. Based on the identified container ID and the checkpoint, the data container is accessed from the first or second cloud.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Neeraj Bhutani, Ramprasad Chinthekindi, Nitin Madan, Srikanth Srinivasan

Patent number: 11090473Abstract: A new minimally invasive surgical approach is proposed that contemplates a method and apparatus for tightening lax skin without visible scarring via a device in various surgical procedures such as plastic surgery procedures. In some embodiments, the device is a single use disposable instrument. This approach circumvents surgically related scarring and the clinical variability of electromagnetic heating of the skin and performs small multiple pixilated resections of skin as a minimally invasive alternative to large Plastic surgical resections of skin. This approach can also be employed in areas of the body that are currently off limits to plastic surgery due to the visibility of the surgical scar. In addition, the approach can perform a skin grafting operation by harvesting the transected incisions of skin from a tissue site of a donor onto a skin defect site of a recipient with reduced scarring of the patient's donor site.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: SRGI HOLDINGS, LLCInventor: Edward W.
