Abstract: The present invention provides an exemplary system and method for storing information for later recovery. One or more first memory addresses within a recovery storage are assigned to one or more data blocks. One or more second memory addresses within a primary storage associated with the one or more data blocks and the one or more first memory addresses are sent to the recovery server. The one or more data blocks are copied to the one or more first memory addresses within the recovery storage.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for organizing and mapping data. In exemplary embodiments, a copy of at least one first data block created from a first computing device is generated. A copy of one or more second data blocks created from one or more second computing devices utilizing the copy of the at least one first data block is also generated. The copy of the at least one first data block is related to the copy of the one or more second data blocks in a branching data structure. The copy of the at least one first data block and the copy of the one or more second data blocks is mapped to a storage medium via an index associated with the branching data structure.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for systems and methods for rapid presentation of historical views of stored data. In a method for rapid presentation of historical views, a request for a historical view of stored data is received. An index that indicates the location of at least one data block copy in a storage medium that correlates with the historical view is accessed and the at least one data block copy from the storage medium is retrieved. The historical view of the stored data is then generated from the at least one data block copy.

Abstract: A system for building a TRC includes a spray mechanism for spraying a coating material, a target system including a rotatable spray-target that retains an object with a surface to be covered by the TRC, a temperature sensor, and a control system for controlling application of the coating material based on a temperature that is determined during the spraying. The temperature sensor may comprise a non-contact infrared sensor that may measure a temperature related to the object. The measured temperature may be controlled by varying the speed of the rotatable spray-target.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the production of plants, plant tissues and seeds which are resistant to inhibition by an herbicide which normally inhibits the growth and development of those plants, plant tissues and plant seeds. In particular this invention is directed to altered acetohydroxyacid synthase enzymes which are resistant to inhibition by herbicides which normally inhibit the activity of the synthase before such alteration. This invention further relates to genes encoding such enzymes, and to processes for utilizing these novel genes and enzymes. Further products of the invention include plants, plant tissues and seeds which exhibit resistance to such herbicides resulting from expression of genes encoding herbicide resistant acetohydroxyacid synthase enzyme.

Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for pressure processing of pumpable substances are shown and described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve, and a pressure vessel. The inlet valve has an inlet port, and is coupled to a source of a pumpable substance and to the pressure vessel. The outlet valve has an outlet port and is coupled to the pressure vessel. When the inlet valve is opened and the outlet valve is closed, a volume of pumpable substance may flow into the pressure vessel. The inlet valve is then closed and the outlet valve remains closed, and the pumpable substance within the pressure vessel may be pressurized to a selected pressure for a selected period of time. The outlet valve is then opened, allowing the pumpable substance to be discharged.
