Abstract: Described are systems and methods for storing a variable number of instances of data objects (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or up to N?1 instances, where N is the number of instances of the data object included in primary data) in secondary storage across a data storage network. In some examples, a system for storing a variable number of instances of data objects includes, one or more computing devices storing a set of data objects and multiple storage devices distinct from the one or more computing devices. Each of the multiple storage devices is configured to store at least a single instance of a data object. The system also includes a database configured to store information associated with the data objects. This information includes substantially unique identifiers for the data objects and, for each of the data objects, a number of instances of the data object stored on the multiple storage devices.

Abstract: Methods and devices for sensor-based user interface control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for determining a characteristic of handedness includes sensing a rotation of a mobile device, determining a direction of rotation based at least in part on accessing information indicative of a first position state prior to sensing the rotation and accessing information indicative of a second position state subsequent to sensing the rotation, and determining the characteristic of handedness based at least in part on the direction of rotation, the first position state, and the second position state. The characteristic of handedness includes one of a left handedness or right handedness. The method further includes determining a user interface mode based on the determined characteristic of handedness, and controlling the mobile device in accordance with the determined user interface mode.

Abstract: A method and system for reducing storage requirements and speeding up storage operations by reducing the storage of redundant data includes receiving a request that identifies one or more data objects to which to apply a storage operation. For each data object, the storage system determines if the data object contains data that matches another data object to which the storage operation was previously applied. If the data objects do not match, then the storage system performs the storage operation in a usual manner. However, if the data objects do match, then the storage system may avoid performing the storage operation.

Abstract: A proxy mobile station for retransmitting reverse channel signals from a mobile station to a base station of a wireless network. The proxy mobile station comprises: 1) a controller for receiving reverse channel data to be transmitted to the base station and transmitting the reverse channel data using an assigned mobile station identifier associated with the mobile station; and 2) a radio frequency transceiver for up-converting the encoded reverse channel data for transmission to the base station. The assigned mobile station is modifiable and may be modified by an external control device.

Abstract: A method and system for creating an index of content without interfering with the source of the content includes an offline content indexing system that creates an index of content from an offline copy of data. The system may associate additional properties or tags with data that are not part of traditional indexing of content, such as the time the content was last available or user attributes associated with the content. Users can search the created index to locate content that is no longer available or based on the associate attributes.

Abstract: A generic RAID engine system accepts an access request, accepts a metadata input comprising a layout description and, optionally, a plurality of resource optimization objectives, accepts a dynamic input comprising a dynamic state of an I/O stack comprising the generic RAID engine and a fault configuration of a plurality of storage devices in the I/O stack, and accepts RAID code input comprising information about the RAID code used by the I/O stack. The metadata input, the dynamic input, and the RAID code input are utilized to transform the access request into individual device reads and individual device writes such that RAID code relationships for the storage devices are maintained at all times. An optional optimizer module selects strategies that meet the resource optimization objectives.

Abstract: The embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, etc. for a cache arrangement for improving RAID I/O operations. More specifically, a method begins by partitioning a data object into a plurality of data blocks and creating one or more parity data blocks from the data object. Next, the data blocks and the parity data blocks are stored within storage nodes. Following this, the method caches data blocks within a partitioned cache, wherein the partitioned cache includes a plurality of cache partitions. The cache partitions are located within the storage nodes, wherein each cache partition is smaller than the data object. Moreover, the caching within the partitioned cache only caches data blocks in parity storage nodes, wherein the parity storage nodes comprise a parity storage field. Thus, caching within the partitioned cache avoids caching data blocks within storage nodes lacking the parity storage field.
