Abstract: Snapshot sets comprising snapshot criteria are created, maintained, and executed via a command set designed to facilitate managing and conducting snapshots on data distributed across multiple volumes. Snapshot criteria such as source volume, target volume, redundancy level, copy mode, and the like are added as desired to a snapshot set. Upon invocation of an execute command, the fast replication operations defined by the snapshot set are executed, providing a logically atomic data replication utility potentially involving multiple sources and targets. In one embodiment auto selection of a target may be specified, thus facilitating over-subscription of target resources. The present invention reduces the complexity of archiving data—particularly data distributed across multiple volumes such as data associated with database applications and the like.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a host on a network enables the host to update IP configuration and internal configuration of a storage controller connected to the network. The host has an algorithm to decrypt a security key supplied by the storage controller. The host broadcasts a discovery command which includes an IP address of the host and a service requested by the host. The discovery command conforms to a proprietary discovery command protocol. In response to the discovery command, the host receives a response from a storage controller which is able to provide the requested service. The response includes a WWN, IP configuration and a security key of the storage controller, and conforms to the discovery command protocol. Next, the host decrypts the security key received from the storage controller using the decryption algorithm, and sends an updated IP configuration to the storage controller along with the security key for authentication.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for speculative data mirroring include a rollback log that receives write data corresponding to a write operation that is directed to a storage region within a source volume. Also included is a storage control module that initiates a lock operation on a corresponding storage region within a target volume and a mirror control module configured to send the data corresponding to the write operation to the target volume without waiting for feedback regarding the lock operation. In one embodiment, initiating a lock operation may include sending a lock command to the target volume. Alternatively, the data corresponding to the write operation may initiate the lock operation. In addition, the mirror control module may initiate retransmission of the data in response to subsequent execution of the lock operation. Due to the unique configuration of the present invention, the present invention reduces latencies arising from synchronous mirroring operations, such as lock operations.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program storage device for maintaining data consistency and cache coherency during communications failures between nodes in a remote mirror pair. A link between a mirror pair of storage systems is monitored. During a link failure between a first storage system and a second storage systems, reads and writes on the first and second storage systems are independently performed and write data and associated timestamps are maintained for the write data for each write in a queue on the first and second storage system. After link reestablishment, volume sets on the first and second storage systems are resynchronized using write data and associated timestamps.

Abstract: A fuel injector includes a homogenous charge nozzle outlet set and a conventional nozzle outlet set that are controlled respectively by first and second three way needle control valves. Each fuel injector includes first and second concentric needle valve members. One of the needle valve members moves to an open position for a homogenous charge injection event, while the other needle valve member moves to an open position for a conventional injection event. The fuel injector has the ability to operate in a homogenous charge mode with a homogenous charge spray pattern, a conventional mode with a conventional spray pattern or a mixed mode.

Abstract: A self-closing access door for use with external umbilicals in aerospace launch vehicles is provided. The self-closing access door comprises two door panels joined by a spring-loaded hinge, the latter of which is attached to surrounding structure of the vehicle. When an external source is applied to the door panels, the panels are opened such that fluid flow, i.e. air conditioning, may enter the vehicle from the external umbilical. When the external source is removed, the spring-loaded hinge forces the door panels closed. The self-closing access door further comprises latches on each door panel that firmly secure the door panels to the surrounding structure. A cover plate is also provided that includes an outer lip for attachment to the surrounding structure and an inner lip, which is engaged by the latches. The spring-loaded hinge also comprises a door stop that limits the distance that the door panels may be opened.

Abstract: An interactive voice response system includes a server and a set of mobile clients. The server and clients include RF transceivers for exchanging messages over an RF channel. Each mobile client includes a microphone, a speaker or headset, a processor and a voice browser. The voice browser interprets voice pages received from the server. Upon receiving a particular voice page from the server, the voice browser outputs via the speaker voice prompts specified by the voice page. A speech recognition engine used by the voice browser converts voice responses from a user into a text response. The voice browser then performs an action based on the text response. The action taken may be to request a new voice page from the server, or to continue to interpret the current voice page.
