Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for archiving storage volume snapshots. An archive module determines at least one snapshot or point in time copy of data. A metadata module determines metadata for restoring a snapshot or point in time copy. A storage module replicates a snapshot or point in time copy and stores the replicated snapshot or point in time copy and metadata to a target storage location, such as one or more data files in a file system of one or more storage devices from a different vendor than a storage device from which the data was copied. In another embodiment, both the ability to archive a storage volume snapshot and restore a previously archived storage volume snapshot is provided.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for creating an application-aware snapshot of a storage volume. A network association module is configured to determine an owner for a storage volume. A requester module is configured to request a snapshot operation for a storage volume. A snapshot operation may be initiated from a storage appliance. A provider module is configured to create a snapshot of data of a storage volume in a storage appliance in response to a determined owner quiescing activity for the storage volume.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention pertain to methods for biological production of hydrogen. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention pertain to a modular energy system and related methods for producing hydrogen using organic waste as a feed stock.

Abstract: A system and process for reclaiming nickel and cadmium from a feed source such as Ni—Cd batteries. The feed source is shredded to produce feed particles, screened to size the particles, magnetically separated to remove non-metallic materials, and induction heated to generate nickel and cadmium products.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method transmits a font available on a computer to an output device supporting a page description language with a download format. The apparatus determines whether a character set associated with the font can be represented in a byte and if so, downloads the font to the output device using a first font format. Otherwise, the apparatus determines whether the number of glyphs in the font is below a threshold and if so, downloads the font to the output device using the page description download format and otherwise breaks the font glyph data into one or more blocks of glyph data, each of which having fewer glyphs than the threshold. Once broken up, the apparatus downloads the blocks to the output device using the download format and stitches the blocks together during a subsequent font reassembly in the output device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and composition for animal husbandry comprising administering to livestock and other animals at least one composition selected from the group consisting of a caramel composition comprising a high content of fructose oligosaccharides, termed sucrose thermal oligosaccharides (STO), and a product comprising sucrose thermal kestoses. The growth of livestock and other animals may be greatly increased by administering STO caramel or sucrose thermal kestoses. The compositions alter specific microflora within the gastrointestinal tract to enhance the health of the animal by increasing the numbers of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and decreasing the numbers of undesirable microorganisms.

Abstract: A support and fastening means for producing a pre-tied necktie using a modified form of body member and a support strap thereon, in which the support strap and body member reduce manufacturing costs while producing a superior product. This result is accomplished by replacing the spring clamp with the less expensive support strap which can be produced by the tie manufacturer, rather than having to be contracted out. The old spring clamp is replaced by a support strap which secures the tie around the wearer's neck and under the collar, and is detachably joined together at its ends by hook and loop area or "Velcro" fasteners secured to their respective overlapping ends. The support strap is engaged and aligned with the body member by pushing the rear post and wing posts through their respective punch holes in the support strap.

Abstract: A continuous yarn structure comprising at least one yarn element formed from a plurality of continuous filaments or a plurality of staple fiber lengths, the yarn structure comprising periodically repeating lengths of high bulk, substantially unentangled continuous filaments or staple fiber lengths alternating with lengths of compacted continuous filaments of staple fiber lengths in which substantially all filaments or fiber lengths are mutually entangled throughout the volume of the compacted lengths.Also disclosed is a method for producing such yarn. The method comprises the steps of feeding at least one multiple filament yarn element or multiple staple fiber element under tension to a first treatment zone having a predetermined cross-sectional area; continuously directing a fluid at the yarn element in a direction substantially perpendicular to the travel of the element, the fluid being applied at a pressure of at least about 100 p.s.i.
