Publication number: 20180055569Abstract: A fixation apparatus may be attached to first and second anatomical structure segments. Images of the fixation apparatus and the attached anatomical structure segments may then be captured. In some examples, the images need not necessarily be orthogonal with respect to one another. Configuration information associated with the fixation apparatus may then be received. Additionally, first image information may be received, for example including indications of one or more locations, within the images, of at least part of one or more elements of the fixation apparatus. Additionally, second image information may be received, for example including indications of one or more locations, within the images, of at least part of the first and the second anatomical structure segments. Manipulations to the fixation apparatus for correction of the anatomical structure deformity may then be determined, and indications of the determined manipulations may then be provided to one or more users.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2016Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Michael Wahl, Bernd Gutmann, Kevin Clancy, Dana Heavey, Tina Corey, Todd Kent

Patent number: 7921262Abstract: It has been discovered that systems, methods, apparatus and software can accommodate the addition or removal of available physical storage (storage “expansion”) in a storage virtualization environment while virtual storage devices remain online and generally available to users. When a change to the available storage has occurred, new storage device geometry and configuration information reflecting the change is obtained and/or calculated. This new information is used to update mapping information used by virtualization software and/or to update information used by an operating system to manage storage devices. Such updating occurs while some or all of the virtual storage devices associated with the physical storage devices remain available to users. In some cases, I/O operations targeting a physical device are held, in a manner transparent to a user, while updating occurs.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2003Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Symantec Operating CorporationInventors: Prasanta Dash, Michael Wahl

Patent number: 7293191Abstract: A system for managing input/output (I/O) errors in a storage system employing asymmetric distributed block virtualization includes a volume server, a plurality of volume clients, and one or more physical block devices. The volume server aggregates storage in the physical block devices into a logical volume and makes the logical volume accessible to the volume client. A designated route may be used to send I/O requests from the volume client to a physical block device during normal operation. If the volume client loses connectivity on the designated route, the volume client may route an I/O request to the physical block device via an alternate route. In one specific embodiment, the volume client may route an I/O request to the physical block device via the volume server.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Symantec Operating CorporationInventors: Kalaivani Arumugham, Santosh Rao, Gopal Sharma, Poonam Dhavale, Michael Wahl, Oleg Kiselev
