  • Patent number: 11647835
    Abstract: A storage assembly includes top and bottom walls, a pair of end walls extending between the top and bottom walls and cooperating with the top and bottom walls to define an interior space, and at least one end surface configured to closely interfit with at least one end surface of an adjacent storage assembly that is substantially similar to the storage assembly at a predefined angular orientation such that a longitudinal axis of the storage assembly is angularly offset from a longitudinal axis of the adjacent storage assembly when the at least one end surface of the storage assembly is interfit with the at least one surface of the adjacent storage assembly The storage assembly may also include a pair of interior walls and a handle relief extending into the top wall and/or a frame assembly located between one of the end walls and one of the interior walls.

  • Patent number: 11172757
    Abstract: A leg assembly for a table includes a support that is configured to couple to a table worksurface. A leg member engages the support and is movable with respect to the support such that the leg assembly is configured to support the table worksurface above a floor surface. A first friction reduction member is attached to a first end of the leg member. A second friction reduction member is configured to attach to a second end of the leg member. The first and second ends are configured to alternately engage the support from one another such that the leg member is reversibly received by the support and such that the first friction reduction member abuts the floor surface when the second end of the leg member engages the support, and the second friction reduction member abuts the floor surface when the first end of the leg member engages the support.

  • Patent number: 9069702
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with reducing read starvation that is supported by a multi-purpose buffer managed by a least recently used (LRU) data structure are described. One example method includes changing how certain retired pages are added back into the LRU. The dual-purpose buffer may be used in data de-duplication to support satisfying ingest requests and to support satisfying read requests. The method may also include controlling the LRU to allocate active ingest pages and active read pages from the head of the LRU. The method may also include controlling the LRU to cause the active ingest page and the active read page to re-enter the LRU at the tail of the LRU. Unlike conventional approaches, the method may also include controlling the LRU to cause a retired ingest page to re-enter the LRU at a location other than the tail (e.g., head) of the LRU.

  • Patent number: 8702202
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for liquid-phase dispensing of layers onto a substrate of an electronic device. An absorbent material reduces or eliminates splatter of printing material on the substrate during continuous printing operations. The absorbent material can be regenerated by exposure of new surface area or vacuum drawing of printing material through the absorbent material.

  • Patent number: 8504533
    Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern de-duplication reference tag reconciliation associated with garbage collection and/or reference health checking. One example method may include accessing data associated with members of a set of references to blocks of data stored by a data de-duplication system. The method may process the first data to manipulate a Bloom filter into a state from which membership in the set of references can be assessed. The method may also include accessing a block identifier identified with a member of the set of blocks of data stored by the data de-duplication system and assessing membership in the set of references for the block identifier by querying the Bloom filter with the block identifier. If the block is not referenced, as determined by querying the Bloom filter, then the method may include performing a block reclamation action on the unreferenced block.

  • Patent number: 7572655
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a radiation-emitting component, a radiation-responsive component, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the electronic device includes a substrate and a first structure overlying the substrate. The electronic device also includes a second structure that includes a first layer, wherein the first layer has a first refractive index, and the first layer includes a first edge. The electronic device further includes a second layer overlying at least portions of the first structure and the second structure at the first edge. The second layer has a second refractive index that is lower than the first refractive index. In another embodiment, the first structure includes a layer having a perimeter and a pattern lying within the perimeter. The pattern extends at least partly though the first layer to define an opening with a first edge. In another embodiment, a process is used to form the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20070220068
    Abstract: An electronic file control system is presented that generates a mirror copy of all controlled or “original” files. The system then allows controlled access to the original files. However, changes to the original files are not reflected in the mirror copies until authorized by an approving entity. That is, while users may access and change the original files, the utility may revert to the mirror copy of the file if the user does not have the authority to make the changes. That is, after the unauthorized user alters (e.g., edits, deletes, etc.) a file, the utility may replace the unauthorized edited file with the last authorized version of the file (i.e the mirror copy). Alternatively, when such changes are approved, the mirror copy may be updated and thereby become the latest authorized version of the file. Such controlled access to and replacement of files allows for controlling numerous business processes.
