  • Patent number: 9176655
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image observation apparatus includes a data receiver, a display, and a controller. The controller controls the display to array medical images for each of groups, the medical images being classified into the groups in accordance with at least one of a type of medical image generation apparatus, an imaging condition, an image generation method, an imaging position, an instruction and a setting by an operator, and an imaging date/time, to display medical images corresponding to at least two of the groups, and to scroll the medical images arrayed on a display screen on a group basis based on a scroll instruction of the operator.

  • Patent number: 9146656
    Abstract: A system for generating a user interface for notification includes a notification response server and an activity streams backend. The notification response server receives requests for notification information from client devices. The notification response server provides information including a number of notifications, a list of notifications, and detail about each notification. The notification response server and the client device cooperate to present a notifications menu that is part of a browser window header that is consistent regardless of the tab being displayed. The activity streams backend is coupled to the notification response server and a plurality of other servers with which the user may interact. These other servers generate messages for which the notification response server generates corresponding notifications. The present disclosure also includes a method for displaying a number, list or details about notifications and methods for responding to notifications within the user interface.

  • Patent number: 9063838
    Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a non-volatile memory comprising a plurality of sectors. At least one alignment zone is defined in the non-volatile memory comprising a plurality of chunks including a plurality of data chunks and a plurality of pad chunks, wherein each chunk comprises a plurality of sectors. Each sector is operable to store X host blocks, the alignment zone comprises at least X?1 pad chunks, and control circuitry is operable to shift the data chunks of the alignment zone by a number of chunks equal to or less than X?1 plus a corresponding offset.

  • Patent number: 8966382
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes rendering a user interface enabling a user to dynamically configure a production copy and a replica of the production copy. The user interface further enables a user to dynamically configure a replica of a replica copy. The method also includes receiving a first set of inputs selected by a user using the user interface to configure the production copy, receiving a second set of inputs selected by the user using the user interface to configure the replica copy and configuring a data protection system to replicate the production copy at the replica based on the first and second set of inputs.

  • Patent number: 8868843
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently determining whether a requested memory location is in a large row-based memory of a computing system. A computing system includes a processing unit that generates memory requests on a first chip and a cache (LLC) on a second chip connected to the first chip. The processing unit includes an access filter that determines whether to access the cache. The cache is fabricated on top of the processing unit. The processing unit determines whether to access the access filter for a given memory request. The processing unit accesses the access filter to determine whether given data associated with a given memory request is stored within the cache. In response to determining the access filter indicates the given data is not stored within the cache, the processing unit generates a memory request to send to off-package memory.

  • Patent number: 8775768
    Abstract: A first nonvolatile storage device has a higher access speed in a continuous access than a random access and a second nonvolatile storage device has a higher access speed in the random access than the continuous access. The information processing apparatus selects a first storage method in which an amount of continuous data is larger than an amount of random data if data stored in a volatile storage device is saved in the first nonvolatile storage device, and selects a second storage method in which an amount of random data is larger than an amount of continuous data if the data stored in the volatile storage device is saved in the second nonvolatile storage device, and saves the data stored in the volatile storage device into the specified nonvolatile storage device using the selected storage method when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
