  • Patent number: 12141099
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a scalable multi-tier storage system. An entry may be added and/or deleted within the storage system. To delete an entry, the storage system may determine whether the entry corresponds to the file or the directory based on directory metadata, and request deletion of the directory metadata associated with the entry from the directory volume based on determining that the entry corresponds to the directory, and further requesting deletion of the file from a file volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the file. To add a file, the storage system may generate directory metadata associated with the entry in the directory volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the directory, and may further allocate file metadata in the file volume based on a determination that the entry corresponds to the file.

  • Publication number: 20240349845
    Abstract: A reel based closure device includes a housing, a tension member, a spool that is rotatably positioned within the housing, and a tightening component that is positioned axially above the spool and that is operably coupled therewith so that an operation of the tightening component causes the spool to rotate within the housing to wind the tension member about the spool. The reel based closure device also includes a coupling component that is separate from the tension member and that frictionally engages with a distal end of the tension member so that the coupling component is removably fixed to the tension member. The spool component includes a coupling feature within which the coupling component is positioned to attach the tension member to the spool.

  • Publication number: 20240342547
    Abstract: Various systems and methods that enhance an exercise activity performed by a user are described. In some embodiments, a rowing machine is described. The rowing machine includes devices and/or components that can enhance the user experience of a user performing a rowing activity using the rowing machine, such as during a rowing-based exercise class. For example, the rowing machine can include different sensors that capture information associated with a position or movement of a seat of the rowing machine relative to a position or movement of a handle of the rowing machine and utilize the captured information to perform actions associated with the user performing the rowing activity.

  • Publication number: 20240269383
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods incorporating an infusion pump and a CGM that can include software that automatically populates a blood glucose section of a bolus calculator with a most recent valid CGM value. The software can additionally be programmed to automatically populate the bolus calculator with a single CGM reading only when one or more predefined conditions are met that aid in mitigating the risk of inaccurate and/or invalid singleCGMreadings.

  • Publication number: 20240137295
    Abstract: A generation identifier is employed with various systems and methods in order to identify situations where a workload has been reassigned to a new node and where a workload is still being processed by an old node during a failure between nodes. A master node may assign a workload to a worker node. The worker node sends a request to access target data. The request may be associated with a generation identifier and workload identifier that identifies the node and workload. At some point, a failure occurs between the master node and worker node. The master node reassigns the workload to another worker node. The new worker node accesses the target data with a different generation identifier, indicating to the storage system that the workload has been reassigned. The old worker node receives an indication from the storage system that the workload has been reassigned and stops processing the workload.

  • Patent number: 10545831
    Abstract: A request identifier is employed with various systems and methods in order to enable an application to pause execution during a failure and subsequently resume execution and communication with a storage system once the failure is resolved. An application residing on a node may attempt to access target data on a storage system. The application sends a request to access the target data. The request may be associated with a request identifier that identifies the application. When the storage system experiences a failure, the application receives a failure notification. The application pauses execution as a result of the notification. When the node reestablishes a connection to the storage system, the application resumes execution using the same request identifier. If the resume request is granted, the application is guaranteed that the target data was not modified during the failure.

  • Patent number: 9438696
    Abstract: Described is a data communication protocol, in which a client and server negotiate in a manner that does not require the client to retry negotiation when servers are not capable of the client-desired protocol. In one example implementation, the desired protocol is SMB 2.0 or greater. The protocol describes a create command with possibly additional context data attached for built-in extensibility, and a compound command comprising a plurality of related commands or unrelated commands. A multi-channel command requests data transfer on a separate data channel, a signed capability verification may be used to ensure that a secure connection is established, and the protocol provides the ability to transfer extended error data from the server in response to a request.

  • Patent number: 9332089
    Abstract: Described are sequence numbers for client-server communication, to control a client's use of server resources. A server grants the client credits, and the client consumes a credit for sending each command to the server. Each credit corresponds to a sequence number, with the set of sequence numbers forming a valid command window. The server enforces that for each received command, the command includes a sequence number that is within the valid command window and that the sequence number has not been used with another command. The server may also maintain a maximum window size, such that clients with credits cannot send a command with a sequence number that beyond a maximum sequence number. When incorporated into a data communication protocol, quality of service, combating denial of service, detection of message loss, division of server resources, secure message signing, and other numerous benefits result.
