  • Method of and apparatus for selecting television programs for recording and remotely transmitting control information to a recording device to record the selected television programs
    Publication number: 20040187164
    Abstract: A system for and method of remotely controlling a recording device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises a program server coupled to a signal transmitter. The program server is configured to (1) allow searching a pool of programs from which one or more programs are selected for recording, (2) translate information related to the selected programs into one or more control codes used to control a recording device for recording the selected programs, and (3) transmit the control codes to the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter is configured to receive the control codes and store them. The signal transmitter is further configured to emit control signals containing the control codes and used to control the recording device to record the selected programs, either manually or by programming the recording the device to record the programs at a later date and time.

  • Virtual processor method and apparatus for enhancing parallelism and availability in computer systems
    Patent number: 5640584
    Abstract: A virtual processor method and apparatus for parallel computer systems that increases the level of parallelism to include multiple threads per node. If a processor node has a plurality of storage devices attached, a single thread can be allocated to each device. Similarly, if a processor node has multiple CPUs, each individual thread can utilize a different CPU. Thus, a task could potentially occupy all available hardware in the system. The result is increased system utilization and availability.

  • Fault tolerant NFS server system and mirroring protocol
    Patent number: 5513314
    Abstract: A network computer system providing for the fault tolerant storage and retrieval of data files includes a client system connected to a data communication network that may source a first data transfer request to said data communication network for the transfer or retrieval of data. A first server system, including first medium for storing data files, is connected to the data communication network so as to be responsive to first data transfer requests. A second server system, including second medium for storing data files is also connected to said data communication network to also be responsive to first data transfer requests.
