  • Using storage class memory as a persistent operating system file/block cache
    Patent number: 11449425
    Abstract: A host server in a server cluster has a memory allocator that creates a dedicated host application data cache in storage class memory. A background routine destages host application data from the dedicated cache in accordance with a destaging plan. For example, a newly written extent may be destaged based on aging. All extents may be flushed from the dedicated cache following host server reboot. All extents associated with a particular production volume may be flushed from the dedicated cache in response to a sync message from a storage array.
    Type: Grant

  • Device for discharging products from a conveyor system
    Patent number: 6863171
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for blowing or pushing products from a conveying member, to which end a number of spaced-apart members are employed, each being provided with a controllable air valve, or with sliding parts with a controllable driving mechanism which are mounted on an endless conveyor, belt or chain. Further, a control system has been provided in which detection members determine whether a product meets set quality requirements and when and by which member the approved products should be blown or pushed from the conveying member in such a way that the products are successively brought in predetermined arrangements or patterns.
