Abstract: Described are systems and methods of migrating data from a source array to a destination array transparently with respect to a management application program executing on a host system and using management information to send management messages to the storage arrays. Data are copied from the source array to the destination array during a data migration event. A first array management interface is associated with the source array and a second array management interface is associated with the destination array. Each array management interface includes management information that a management application executing on the host can use to communicate with the storage array. The first and second array management interfaces are exchanged during the data migration event so that the array management interface associated with the destination array becomes associated with the source array and the array management interface associated with the source array becomes associated with the destination array.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of presenting virtual arrays in a storage network. A physical storage array is partitioned into a plurality of virtual arrays. Each virtual array has logical units of storage. Each virtual array is associated with a virtual array management interface by which a management application executing remotely on a host can address communications separately to that virtual array for managing the logical units of storage of that virtual array.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of migrating data stored logical units of storage (LUNs) at a source storage array to a plurality of destination storage arrays transparently with respect to a host in communication with the source storage array through a switch. The source storage array is divided into a plurality of source virtual arrays including a first source virtual array and a second source virtual array. Each destination storage array is divided into one or more destination virtual arrays. During a data migration event, data stored in a LUN of the first source virtual array are copied to a corresponding LUN of a destination virtual array of a first one of the destination storage arrays, and data stored in a LUN of the second source virtual array are copied to a corresponding LUN of a destination virtual array of a second one of the destination storage arrays.

Abstract: The invention relates to efficient, high-throughput methods, systems, and DNA constructs for identification and isolation of transcription termination sequences. The invention relates further to specific terminator sequences identified by said methods isolated from rice.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of migrating data stored in logical units of storage (LUNs) at a plurality of source storage arrays into one destination storage array transparently with respect to a host in communication with the source storage arrays through a switch. First and second source storage arrays and a destination storage array are each partitioned into a plurality of source virtual arrays. The destination virtual arrays include a first destination virtual array and a second destination virtual array. Data stored in a LUN of a first source virtual array of the first source storage array are copied to a corresponding LUN of the first destination virtual array of the destination storage array, and data stored in a LUN of a second source virtual array of the second source storage array are copied to a corresponding LUN of the second destination virtual array of the destination storage array.

Abstract: Described are a storage network and method of migrating data from a source virtual array to a destination virtual array transparently with respect to a storage application executing on a host. The storage application provides particular storage functionality at a source storage array while using metadata during its execution. The metadata used by the storage application are associated with the source virtual array and forwarded, during a data migration event in which data resident in logical units of storage (LUNs) of the source virtual array are copied to LUNs of the destination virtual array, to a destination storage array where the metadata is associated with the destination virtual array.

Abstract: Described are techniques for executing code performing one or more operations corresponding to scheduling and synchronization primitives. During execution of the code, a call is performed using an application programming interface requesting a first of the operations corresponding to one of said scheduling and synchronization primitives. During runtime in response to said call, it is determined whether to perform the first operation. The determining step uses a set of one or more criteria indicating conditions as to when the scheduling and synchronization primitives are allowed to be performed. The one or more criteria are determined in accordance with a plurality of different platforms. If it is determined that the first operation is allowable and the first operation is to be performed, then the code can be executed on each of the different platforms in a privileged execution mode and a non-privileged execution mode.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for applying markings, particularly to springs, that are clean (ink in self contained storage units), allows quick color changes and reduces wasted ink or paint. An application means that does not dry out during short down time periods, keeps up with production rates, and is cost effective.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for mixing liquid components. Quantities of two or more liquid components are transferred from pressurized source reservoirs to one or more destination locations by means of a fluid outlet that includes a dispense valve, and the two or more liquid components are mixed in the destination locations to create a plurality of fluid mixtures. Two or more dispensing technologies can be combined to provide for increased efficiency in the dispensing of high volume liquid components. The amounts of liquid components being dispensed can be monitored during the dispensing to provide feedback control of the dispensing.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of embedding a virtual storage area network on an electronic device. A virtual machine runs on the electronic device. The virtual machine provides a virtual storage target for responding to block storage requests from storage initiators. A virtual fabric is coupled between the virtual machine and an external storage area network (SAN). The virtual fabric routes a storage request from a storage initiator to the virtual storage target.

Abstract: The present invention is a non-skid pet bowl designed to keep the temperature of the contents of the bowl cool. The pet bowl preferably includes a bowl, removable bottom, freezable gel insert, and non-skid portions. The bowl is configured to have air gaps to act as insulation. The bowl and removable bottom are configured to hold a freezable gel insert that can be frozen to cool the contents of the pet bowl. The non-skid portions prevent the bowl from sliding on a ground and prevent spills. The bowl is made of a heavy stainless steel to prevent the bowl from being easily tipped over by the pet.
