Abstract: The invention discloses a method for adhering a metal layer to a polymer substrate. The metal layer is deposited on a sacrificial substrate of a mold to form part of an interior surface of the mold, and a solution of monomers is deposited on the metal layer. The monomers are then polymerized together to form the polymer substrate on the metal layer. Then the polymer substrate is removed from the mold such that the metal layer is removed from the mold and adhered to the polymer substrate.

Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for managing single instancing data. Using a single instance database and other constructs (e.g. sparse files), data density on archival media (e.g. magnetic tape) is improved, and the number of files per storage operation is reduced. According to one aspect of a method for managing single instancing data, for each storage operation, a chunk folder is created on a storage device that stores single instancing data. The chunk folder contains three files: 1) a file that contains data objects that have been single instanced; 2) a file that contains data objects that have not been eligible for single instancing; and 3) a metadata file used to track the location of data objects within the other files. A second storage operation subsequent to a first storage operation contains references to data objects in the chunk folder created by the first storage operation instead of the data objects themselves.

Abstract: An improved information management system is provided herein for managing secondary storage computing devices when one or more become unavailable. For example, a first secondary storage computing device in a pool of secondary storage computing devices can run a storage manager virtual machine (VM) that manages secondary copy and restore operations. A second secondary storage computing device in the pool can run a virtualization engine that manages the storage manager VM. The virtualization engine can replicate the storage manager VM data to other secondary storage computing devices in the pool. If the first secondary storage computing devices becomes unavailable, the second secondary storage computing device can instruct a third secondary storage computing device in the pool to launch a replicated storage manager VM using the replicated storage manager VM data stored therein. Thus, the third secondary storage computing device can act as the now unavailable first secondary storage computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for blocking attempts at runtime redirection and attempts to change memory permissions during runtime. The present disclosure describes features that enable runtime detection of an attempt to redirect routines or change memory permissions, and determining whether to allow or deny the attempt. Such features may include changing memory write permissions on memory segments, such as those segments used by dynamic loaders after call associations have been saved or otherwise created. Other features may include swapping the addresses of system routines (e.g., open, read, write, close, etc.) to new routines that perform the same function as well as additional functionality configured to detect attempts to redirect or change memory permissions. Once detected by the new routine during runtime, a determination may be made to deny or allow the call based on a policy.

Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for securely managing browser plugins via embedded browser. The solution enables a client application or embedded browser to dynamically load the browser components into the embedded browser based on a risk or security profile and one or more policies. The policies can be centrally managed to enable only allowed browser components to be loaded within the embedded browser for a given risk profile. Based on the risk profile, a session established by the embedded browser can be transferred from the client application to a hosted browser at a secure sever. When the session is transferred to the hosted browser, the present system can also redirect the browser component configurations to the hosted browser such that the same browser components are enabled, disabled, or modified at the hosted browser.
