  • Publication number: 20240118981
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for failing over an aggregate from one file system instance to a different file system instance of a distributed scale-out storage system. The aggregate may be stored within distributed storage that is accessible to a plurality of file system instances of the distributed scale-out storage system. When the aggregate is failed over from a first file system instance to a second file system instance, the first file system instance may still have a valid read lease that allows the first file system instance to serve client I/O, directed to the aggregate, using a cache. In order to prevent the first file system instance from serving stale data from the cache before the read lease expires, state machines and a set of control data are used to ensure that the second file system instance attaches to the aggregate only after the read lease has expired.

  • Patent number: 11640934
    Abstract: Techniques for fabricating a package substrate comprising a via, a conductive line, and a pad are described. The package substrate can be included in a semiconductor package. For one technique, a package substrate includes: a pad in a dielectric layer; a via; and a conductive line. The via and the conductive line can be part of a structure. Alternatively, the conductive line can be adjacent to the via. The dielectric layer can include a pocket above the pad. One or more portions of the via may be formed in the pocket above the pad. Zero or more portions of the via can be formed on the dielectric layer outside the pocket. In some scenarios, no pad is above the via. The package substrate provides several advantages. One exemplary advantage is that the package substrate can assist with increasing an input/output density per millimeter per layer (IO/mm/layer) of the package substrate.

  • Patent number: 11458490
    Abstract: A cup liner for a cup of a spray gun includes a fluid reservoir portion that defines a reservoir and includes a divider portion dividing the reservoir into two or more compartments. Each compartment contains a fluid to be dispensed by the spray gun and keeps the fluids separated from fluids held by other compartments. In addition, a fitting for a spray gun includes two or more inlet interfaces and an outlet interface. Each inlet interface couples to a fluid source and the outlet couples to the spray gun such that the fitting provides fluid communication between each fluid source and the spray gun. This permits the spray gun to spray a mixture of the fluids.
