Patent number: 12204784Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a zero-copy volume move between nodes of a distributed storage system are provided. In one example, an approach for performing a zero-copy volume move is proposed in which volume data may be maintained in place within a storage pod and need not be copied to move a given volume between the source node and the destination node. In one embodiment, metadata (e.g., a top-most physical volume block number (PVBN) of a node tree representing the volume at issue) of a write-anywhere file system is copied from the source node to the destination node. Since the storage pod is associated with a global PVBN space that is visible and accessible to all nodes of the distributed storage system, as a result of copying the top-mode PVBN of the volume to the destination node, anything below the top-most PVBN will automatically be visible to the destination node.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2024Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Anil Paul Thoppil, Ananthan Subramanian, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Garima Choudhary, Qinghua Zheng

Patent number: 12205322Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for positioning mixed-reality devices within mixed-reality environments. The devices, which are configured to perform inside out tracking, transition between position tracking states in mixed-reality environments and utilize positional information from other inside out tracking devices that share the mixed-reality environments to identify/update positioning of the devices when they become disoriented within the environments and without requiring an extensive or full scan and comparison/matching of feature points that are detectable by the devices with mapped feature points of the maps associated with the mixed-reality environments. Such techniques can conserve processing and power consumption that would be required when performing a full or extensive scan and comparison of matching feature points. Such techniques can also enhance the accuracy and speed of positioning mixed-reality devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Erik Alexander Hill, Kathleen Carol Heasley, Jake Thomas Shields, Kevin James-Peddicord Luecke, Robert Neil Drury, Garret Paul Jacobson
