Patent number: 7904428Abstract: A storage management device records write requests that are directed to a data store. In one embodiment, the storage management device records a plurality of write request entries, each one of which includes information relating to a write request, in at least one first database table, and maintains, for each first database table, at least one record in a second database table. The one or more records in the second database table include data representing the effects of the write requests on a state of at least one portion of the data store. In one such embodiment, each time that one write request entry is recorded in one first database table, the storage management device updates at least one record in the second database table.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2004Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventors: Robert Perry, Ron Passerini, Michael Rowan

Publication number: 20070133993Abstract: A transmitter subsystem generates an optical signal which contains multiple subbands of information. The subbands have different polarizations. For example, in one approach, two or more optical transmitters generate optical signals which have different polarizations. An optical combiner optically combines the optical signals into a composite optical signal for transmission across an optical fiber. In another approach, a single optical transmitter generates an optical signal with multiple subbands. The polarization of the subbands is varied, for example by using a birefringent crystal. In another aspect of the invention, each optical transmitter generates an optical signal containing both a lower optical sideband and an upper optical sideband (i.e., a double sideband optical signal). An optical filter selects the upper optical sideband of one optical signal and the lower optical sideband of another optical signal to produce a composite optical signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Ting Yee, Peter Chang, Shin-Sheng Tarng, Gregory Cutler, Slava Yazhgur, Ji Li, Laurence Newell, James Coward, Michael Rowan, Norman Swenson, Matthew Bashaw
