Abstract: A food slicer, which may be used for cutting a pizza with a single blade, and other food, such as pancakes, with multiple blades includes a housing configured to be gripped by a user in a first tilted orientation in which only the first rotating blade touches a work surface, and in a second level orientation, in which all three blades touch the work surface. A first rotating blade is mounted in the housing offset along a longitudinal axis from second and third rotating blades, whereby the tripod arrangement enables a steady structure during non-use, and whereby the second and third rotating blades may be lifted off of the working surface, while the first rotating blade cuts the pizza.

Abstract: The disclosed system may comprise a mainframe computing resource, a data library, a data processing appliance, and a distributed system. The data library may be securely connected to the mainframe computing resource. The data library may be configured to receive data from the mainframe computing resource via a first interface. The data processing appliance may be configured to read and write data to the data library via a second user interface. The distributed system may be configured to receive data from the data processing appliance. The distributed system may be further configured to process the data based on a workflow from the mainframe computing system.

Abstract: To provide enhanced operation of data storage devices and systems, various systems, methods, and software are provided herein. In a first example, a data storage system is configured to provide at least a portion of a first data storage device as a verification cache for a storage region of a second data storage device, write data for storage in the verification cache of the first data storage device and write the data for storage in the storage region of the second data storage device. The data storage system is configured to perform a verification process on the data written to the storage region after a verification trigger condition has been met. The data storage system is configured to transfer portions of the data that fail to pass the verification process from the verification cache to supersede the one or more parts of the data in the storage region.

Abstract: In an object oriented computer system, an object oriented mechanism and method defines a common interface to maintain elements on a collection while providing the capability of using virtually any suitable object as a key to the collection. A programmer defines an interface on a collection that includes suitable object methods for adding, removing, and replacing elements of the collection. The constraints that determine whether elements may be added, removed, or replaced is encapsulated in a policy that is defined by the programmer. The programmer identifies one or more keys, which may include any suitable object in the object oriented system. A maintainer class provides a client interface for maintaining elements on the collection according to the defined policy and according to the keys defined by the programmer.

Abstract: An object oriented framework provides a set of objects that perform computer system server functions and that permit a framework user to add extensions for defining a Server Process category of objects that perform service processes for the network and exchange implicit data with remote processes of the network, and also define an Implicit Data Handler Registry (IDHR) class of objects that receive registration information from Provider objects of the Server Process category.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for formatting a specified group of related web pages into a single web page allows a user to define a number of selected pages and associated relation criteria for each selected page. A formatting mechanism collects the URLs for the selected pages and those related pages based on the relation criteria and stores the URLs in a URL container. The formatting mechanism further invokes each web page associated to the URLs contained in the URL container and generates a conglomerate page. The conglomerate web page may include data insert into or referenced in one or more of the selected pages. The conglomerate web page may then be printed using a standard browser print function.

Abstract: An object oriented framework provides a set of objects that perform computer system server functions and that permit a framework user to add extensions for specific processing features, thereby producing a server program for managing computer system resources and performing desired functions. The framework includes a Server class of objects, which provides the server environment in which the objects performing server functions exist and serves as the primary interface between the server and the client machines, and includes a Service Object (SO) category of classes, whose objects comprise server function objects and implement two methods, one method called runMeFirst( ) and another method called runMeSecond( ) such that the runMeFirst( ) method is executed before the runMeSecond( ) method and interdependencies are resolved.
