  • Patent number: 9235524
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for copying a content directory associated with a cache system from a volatile memory system to a non-volatile memory system. A plurality of data requests concerning a plurality of data actions to be taken on an electro-mechanical storage device associated with the cache system are received on the cache system. The content directory on the volatile memory system is updated based, at least in part, upon the plurality of data requests. The plurality of data requests are stored on tracking queue included within the electro-mechanical storage device.

  • Patent number: 8468604
    Abstract: A method for protecting objects in a computer system against malware is disclosed. An object is analyzed to determine whether it is infected by malware, and if it is determined to be infected, a backup copy of the object is located in a backup of the objects. The infected object is replaced with the backup copy.

  • Patent number: 8078585
    Abstract: A method and system for restoring a version of the data object from a continuous data protection (CDP) engine without being required to access the CDP engine via a separate CDP-specific interface. A data access request includes a data identifier and a metadata portion and is sent to a system layer, where the data identifier identifies a current version of a data object, and the metadata portion identifies a prior version of the data object to be retrieved specifically from the CDP engine. The prior version of the data object is retrieved from the CDP engine and returned for efficiently restoring the prior version of the data object.

  • Patent number: 5562850
    Abstract: Toilet bowl detergent compositions, preferably blocks of the "in-tank" or "rim-block" types, contain a cleaning system comprising: detergent surfactant of the amphoteric type, preferably zwitterionic, more preferably one that contains a carboxylate group and a cationic group, and even more preferably a fatty acid amidoalkylene betainc, and polycarboxylate chelating agent, preferably, citric acid, or similar polycarboxylic acid, are combined with some means of creating the desired concentration of the cleaning system in the toilet bowl water, preferably by means of blocks with a dissolution retarding system, preferably with the dissolution retarding system comprising a combination of water soluble cellulosic polymer, more preferably hydroxyethyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl cellulose and, polyethylene glycol containing polymer, any perfume present being selected to be mostly hydrophobic. The compositions have a pH, in use, of from about 4 to about 9 and the blocks are preferably extremely homogeneous.

  • Patent number: 5220674
    Abstract: A local area print server for connection to a printer to form a printing system for servicing printing requests is disclosed. The local area print server both controls the servicing of printing requests by the printer, and in response to printer requests for resources needed to satisfy a printing request, either provides required resources, or obtains the resources from a remote component. A resource manager is provided for receiving resource requests from the printer for resources required to satisfy particular printing requests, and, in response to receiving such requests, forwards the necessary resources to the printer. There is also a status collector adapted for receiving status block messages internally generated by the printing system containing information regarding the changing state of the system and in response to receiving the messages retransmit same to one or more of the other local area print server internal modules that respond to specific printing system status changes.
