  • Patent number: 8433690
    Abstract: A dynamic layer above a sequential deduplication file system (denoted as DFS) implements the rewrite functionality. A user file is composed of one or more DFS files. As incoming data is written into a user file, the data is written by the dynamic layer sequentially into DFS files, created one by one. For each user file this dynamic layer creates and maintains a dynamic metadata file, in a regular, non deduplicated file system. This metadata file contains entries pointing to sections of DFS files.

  • Patent number: 8433768
    Abstract: An information system includes a bulletin board-type interface that enables virtual messages propagating through the system, to interface with one another. The virtual messages are created by a virtual system embedded within the information system. The virtual messages may model any of various network services and predict traffic based on the network services. The virtual messages may represent an attack model on the network. Models of system resources are also created and the models interact by posting and/or retrieving information from the bulletin board-type interface. The interface provides for a negotiation process regarding the availability of future system resources and the impact upon the modeled network service.

  • Publication number: 20130102475
    Abstract: A method of forming a composite sheet includes disposing an untextured metal or alloy first sheet in contact with a second sheet in an aligned opposing position; bonding the first sheet to the second sheet by applying an oscillating ultrasonic force to at least one of the first sheet and the second sheet to form an untextured intermediate composite sheet; and annealing the untextured intermediate composite sheet at a temperature lower than a primary re-crystallization temperature of the second sheet and higher than a primary re-crystallization temperature of the first sheet to convert the untextured first sheet into a cube textured sheet, wherein the cube texture is characterized by a ?-scan having a FWHM of no more than 15° in all directions, the second sheet remaining untextured, to form a composite sheet.

  • Patent number: 8429595
    Abstract: A software application development tool supports a specified design-time data feed. A software application developer can interact with the development tool to specify a design-time data feed that is to be used during development of an application in place of a given run-time data feed that is not available for access by the application. For instance, a software application developer may code the application with reference(s) to the unavailable run-time data feed, and the developer may specify to the development tool a design-time data feed for such referenced run-time data feed. The development tool then manages correlation of the specified design-time feed to the run-time feed such that references to the run-time feed in the application under development instead trigger access to the specified design-time feed by the development tool. When deployed in a run-time environment, the software application's references to the run-time feed trigger access to such run-time feed.

  • Publication number: 20130094350
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for semi-centralized routing. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method receives a network protocol packet at a router adapted for routing data packets to one or more additional routers. The network protocol packet conforms to a routing protocol that provides distributed routing computation. The method also sends the network protocol packet, through a controller, to a selected one of a plurality of route control servers. The method also processes the network control packet at the selected route control server to generate a routing computation result that conforms to the routing protocol. The method also generates routing information based on the routing computation. The routing information conforms to a control protocol that provides centralized routing computation. The method also sends the routing information to the router for routing of data packets based on the control protocol.

  • Publication number: 20130097356
    Abstract: A system and method for rootkit protection in a hypervisor environment includes modules for creating a soft whitelist having entries corresponding to each guest kernel page of a guest operating system in a hypervisor environment, wherein each entry is a duplicate page of the corresponding guest kernel page, generating a page fault when a process attempts to access a guest kernel page, and redirecting the process to the corresponding duplicate page. If the page fault is a data page fault, the method includes fixing the page fault, and marking a page table entry corresponding to the guest kernel page as non-executable and writeable. If the page fault is an instruction page fault, the method includes marking a page table entry corresponding to the guest kernel page as read-only. Redirecting changing a machine page frame number in a shadow page table of the hypervisor to point to the corresponding duplicate page.

  • Publication number: 20130095920
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating free viewpoint video using an active infrared (IR) stereo module are provided. The method includes computing a depth map for a scene using an active IR stereo module. The depth map may be computed by projecting an IR dot pattern onto the scene, capturing stereo images from each of two or more synchronized IR cameras, detecting dots within the stereo images, computing feature descriptors corresponding to the dots in the stereo images, computing a disparity map between the stereo images, and generating the depth map using the disparity map. The method also includes generating a point cloud for the scene using the depth map, generating a mesh of the point cloud, and generating a projective texture map for the scene from the mesh of the point cloud. The method further includes generating the video for the scene using the projective texture map.

  • Publication number: 20130097659
    Abstract: One or more attributes of an application in a plurality of applications is identified. A reputation score of the application is determined based at least in part on the identified attributes to determining whether the application should be included in a whitelist. The whitelist can be applied against a request to download the application on a mobile device. In some aspects, the whitelist can be generated through automated collection and analysis of applications available for download by one or more different types of mobile devices in one or more networks. In some aspects, the whitelist can be applied by blocking attempts to download applications determined not to be included in the whitelist.
