  • Patent number: 9203815
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for secure third-party data storage may include (1) identifying, at a server-side computing system, a data access request from a client system to access an encrypted file stored under a user account, (2) receiving a long poll request from the client system, (3) identifying an asymmetric key pair designated for the user account, the asymmetric key pair including an encryption key and a decryption key that has been encrypted with a client-side key, (4) responding to the long poll request with a message notifying the client system to transmit the client-side key, (5) receiving, from the client system, the client-side key, (6) decrypting the decryption key with the client-side key, and (7) using the decryption key to access an unencrypted version of the encrypted file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9110912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extent reference count updates are presented. In one embodiment; a reference count update method includes: receiving a plurality of data files associated with various modalities; performing an analysis on the data files including examining an impact of the plurality of data files on storage based upon a type of the modality; and forwarding resulting analysis information for presentation in a convenient user interface, including an indication of the impact of the plurality of data files on the storage based upon the type of the modality. In one embodiment the analysis includes resource consumption analysis of the storage associated with the type of modality. The analysis can include a cost analysis of the storage associated with the type of modality. The storage can be included in a cloud environment.

  • Publication number: 20150007860
    Abstract: The invention monitors the neutralization process involving hydrogen peroxide solution and a hydrogen peroxide neutralization catalyst and compares measured values with theoretical values. The system monitors the chemical reaction and notifies the user of the neutralization status. In an exemplary embodiment, the initial hydrogen peroxide solution concentration is neutralized with a palladium catalyst after a period of time. A microcontroller analyzes the measurements and displays the neutralization process results using colored LED lights and/or text or images on a LCD display. In one embodiment, an apparatus adapted for use with a cleaning solution used to clean a medical device may include a trigger, a processing device in communication with the trigger, and a display device. The processing device provides a trigger count and the display device communicates with the processing device and displays a message based on the count.
