  • Patent number: 11971848
    Abstract: A system can migrate a source file system on a first computer to a destination file system on a second computer. The system can receive, at the second computer, a request from a client computer that indicates a file system operation, and that references a source file handle of the source file system that comprises an identifier of the source file system. The system can identify the destination file system based on the identifier of the source file system. The system can determine, from a source inode number of the source file handle, a source inode number segment. The system can determine, from the source inode number segment, a destination inode number segment. The system can determine, from the destination inode number segment, a destination inode number. The system can perform the file system operation on the destination file system using the destination inode number and the identifier of the destination file system.

  • Publication number: 20230205646
    Abstract: A system can perform a migration. The system can, in response to receiving a request to perform a file system operation on a destination file system, wherein the request identifies a first source file handle, direct, by a second computer and to a first computer, to perform the file system operation on a source file system with the first source file handle, to produce a second source file handle, convert the first and second source file handles to corresponding first and second components of a destination file handle, perform the file system operation on the destination file system with the first and second components of a destination file handle, respond to the client computer with the second source file handle. The system can re-assign a network address when rolling back the migration, wherein a client is configured to use the second source file handle with the source file system.

  • Patent number: 6793739
    Abstract: A cleaning method for removing solid deposits of the oxides of nitrogen, especially dinitrogen pentoxide, from ozone generator tubes and dielectrics is described. The method circulates warm dry gas in the tube section of the generator, warm water in the shell section or both to clean the ozone generator. The oxides are evaporated and evacuated from the system. The method substantially reduces or eliminates the formation of nitric acid on the tubes and dielectrics when the generator is exposed to humidity upon being opened to the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 6246057
    Abstract: Transmission attenuation correction device for scintigraphic cameras that contain a source of gamma rays that sweep the active surface of a detector facing it through the body of the patient in order to measure the attenuation of the photon energy through this body and therefore allow for the correction of the attenuation of the photon energy emitted by the radiated organ. The radioactive source (30) is inserted in a rod (29) located in a removable cassette (21), this rod can automatically isolate the source (30) when the cassette (21) is not in its support. Each device is contained in a box attached to the detector other than the one facing it. The rod (29) that contains the source has different realization forms that make it possible to include materials that each have their own attenuation coefficient.
