Publication number: 20240115784Abstract: A system (20) including a heater/cooler module (22) to heat/cool a first fluid in a primary circuit (28), a heat transfer fluid circuit (24) to provide a second fluid to a target device (38) to heat/cool the target device (38), and a heat exchanger (26) including at least part of the primary circuit (28) and at least part of a secondary circuit (36) through which the second fluid flows to facilitate heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid. The primary circuit (28) and the secondary circuit (36) are separate circuits and the first fluid and the second fluid remain separated in the system. Also, the system is modular, such that the elements can be stacked to increase heating/cooling capability and/or to increase the number of heating/cooling channels, and the system is compatible with portable applications, such as ambulance, aircraft, and helicopter applications, and with battery opera-tion and/or the use of uninterruptible power supplies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: LivaNova Deutschland GmbHInventors: Olivier Wolfgramm, Michael Bonczar

Patent number: 8019719Abstract: Systems and methods for partitioning information across multiple storage devices in a web server environment. The system comprises a web server database which includes information related creating a web site. The information is divided into partitions within the database. One of the partitions includes user information and another of the partitions includes content for the web site. Portions of the content for the web site is replicated and maintained within the partition including the user information. Further, a portion of the user information is replicated and maintained in the partition where the content for the web site is maintained. The methods include dividing information into partitions, de-normalizing the received data and replicating the data portions into the various web site locations.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Ancestry.com Operations Inc.Inventors: Todd Hardman, James Ivie, Michael Mansfield, Greg Parkinson, Daren Thayne, Mark Wolfgramm, Michael Wolfgramm, Brandt Redd

Patent number: 7111144Abstract: A redundant storage system implemented in a web server environment. The system comprises a web server database accessible to multiple web servers. The web server database is comprised of at least a first and a second storage bank. The first storage bank is comprised of at least a first and a second sub-bank with at least a portion of data stored on the first sub-bank also being stored on the second sub-bank. Methods for using the storage system comprise receiving a write access addressed to the first storage bank, and storing data associated with the write access to the second storage bank when the second sub-bank is inoperable. The storage area addressed by the write access is then de-allocated.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: MyFamily.com, Inc.Inventors: Todd Hardman, James Ivie, Michael Mansfield, Greg Parkinson, Daren Thayne, Mark Wolfgramm, Michael Wolfgramm, Brandt Redd

Publication number: 20050147947Abstract: A method of creating a family tree includes receiving genealogy data at a host computing system from at least one primary source and creating one or more node records and one or more link records using the genealogy data. The individual node records include at least name data and each individual link record includes relationship data that represents a relationship between individual node records. The method also includes comparing individual node records and identifying pairs of records having similar data. For each identified pair of individual node records, the method includes comparing related individual node records and deciding based on predetermined criteria whether the identified pair of individual node records represent the same person. The method also includes consolidating the information from a plurality of records determined to represent the same person into a single person record.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2003Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: MyFamily.com, Inc.Inventors: Bennett Cookson, Ken Boyer, James Hamilton, Kendall Jefferson, Daren Thayne, Michael Wolfgramm
