Patent number: 9378481Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a system and method for inventory management of data center equipment contained in server racks. In one implementation, the system and method include generating an identifying code that includes location information, hardware specific information, and equipment history of the equipment to be managed. The ID code is applied to the equipment or a portion thereof. A code scanner or reader is positioned within scanning range of the ID code when the equipment is positioned in the server rack. The code reader scans for ID codes and communicates the information associated with the codes to a communication device, which communicates the codes to a user or network device in a network environment. The information may then be analyzed, sorted, and displayed in a graphical user interface such that a user may evaluate, locate, and track the equipment.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventor: James Conrad Hastman

Publication number: 20160146573Abstract: Pistol recoil device that mounts to hand guns with a Picatinny Rail; used for preventing muzzle rise and felt recoil to the shooter. Consisting of a detachable Picatinny Rail mount bracing the device so it is firm; an extended arm on the shooters non-shooting hand extends to a thumb rest allowing the shooter to apply cantilever down forces with the non-shooting thumb to prevent muzzle rise and felt recoil by allowing the shooter more control of the pistol during targeting.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2014Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: James Conrad Kunkel, Linda E. Sayre

Patent number: 8990110Abstract: A system and method for assigning controlled access to a securable device may include a kiosk configured to receive a PIN and to collect payment from a user for rental of a securable device from among multiple securable devices. A lock unit associated with the securable device and in communication with the kiosk may be configured to receive the PIN from said kiosk. After receiving the PIN, the kiosk may be configured to operate autonomously with respect to the kiosk to enable the user to access the securable device in response to the user entering the PIN into the lock unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Best Lockers, LLCInventors: James Mullin, John Zaniker, James Conrad, Daryle Bobb

Patent number: 8566522Abstract: Systems and methods for management of a cache are disclosed. In general, embodiments described herein store access counts in file system metadata associated with files in the cache. By encoding access counts in the file system metadata, file I/O operations are reduced. Preferably, the reference count is encoded in an access count timestamp in the file system metadata. The access counts can be decoded based on the difference between the access count time stamp and a base time value, with larger differences reflecting a larger access count. The cache can be aged by advancing the base time value, thereby causing the access count for a file to drop. The base time value can also be stored in file system metadata, thereby reducing file I/O operations when performing aging.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Open Text S.A.Inventor: James Conrad Shea
