  • SLEEVED GARMENT EQUIPPED FOR HUMAN BODY COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20170272176
    Abstract: A garment includes a passive human body communication (HBC) component that includes, for example, a storage element. The garment has conductive cuffs and a flexible conductive trace connecting the cuffs to the HBC component. When a user wearing the garment touches the electrodes of an HBC interface on an external host device, the host device powers the HBC component and may send or receive data from the HBC component. The power and the data travel over the user's body from the interface electrodes to the cuffs, and at least partially through the conductive trace from the cuffs to the HBC component.
    Type: Application

  • Automatically managing the state of replicated data of a computing environment, and methods therefor
    Patent number: 7680994
    Abstract: The state of data of a communications environment is automatically managed. The automatic management is provided via a facility that automatically obtains the current state of the data and uses that information to place the data in an appropriate state for a selected event to be processed. The data is, for instance, maintained on replicated storage media.
    Type: Grant

  • Secondary Backup Replication Technique for Clusters
    Publication number: 20080052327
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for backing up a replica in a cluster system having at least one client, at least one node, a primary replica, a secondary replica, and a secondary-backup (S-backup) replica each replicating a process running on the cluster system. A hierarchy is assigned to each of the primary, secondary and S-backup replicas. The failure of one of the replicas is detected and the failing replica is replaced with one of lower hierarchy. The replica having the lowest affected hierarchy is regenerated to reestablish the primary replica, secondary replica, and S-backup replica.
