Publication number: 20130018928Abstract: Peer-to-peer redundant file server system and methods include clients that determine a target storage provider to contact for a particular storage transaction based on a pathname provided by the filesystem and a predetermined scheme such as a hash function applied to a portion of the pathname. Servers use the same scheme to determine where to store relevant file information so that the clients can locate the file information. The target storage provider may store the file itself and/or may store metadata that identifies one or more other storage providers where the file is stored. A file may be replicated in multiple storage providers, and the metadata may include a list of storage providers from which the clients can select (e.g., randomly) in order to access the file.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: OVERLAND STORAGE,INCInventors: Francesco Lacapra, Peter Wallace Steele, Bruno Sartirana, Ernest Ying Sue Hua, I Chung Joseph Lin, Samuel Sui-Lun Li, Nathanael John Diller, Thomas Reynold Ramsdell, Don Nguyen, Kyle Dinh Tran

Patent number: 6767489Abstract: Solid rollers of a urethane material are formed in closed mold formed by a tube and two end plugs spaced by a shaft, the latter becoming the shaft for the roller. The closed mold avoids rough grinding to a cylindrical shape, as well as avoiding the resulting waste of material and introduction of defects that arise from rough grinding. The formation of bubbles during injection of the urethane material is avoided by filling the closed mold with carbon dioxide gas prior to injection. The formation of gate marks in the urethane material is avoided by repositioning the end caps after injection to separate the injection gate from the cylindrical cavity. The need to trim the ends of the roller is avoided by providing an annular cavity between the top end cap and the tube that receives excess urethane material to be drawn into the cylindrical cavity as the urethane shrinks during curing.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: July 27, 2004Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Peter Wallace Bracken, Terry Cutshall, Wojciech Starski

Publication number: 20030013027Abstract: A ceramic decal which can be transferred to a ceramic substrate. The decal comprises a desired digital graphic image. The decal is prepared in a one-step process without the need for either a film separation step or a screen-printing or similar printing step. The digital graphic image is printed, by using ceramic toner in a color laser printer, onto suitable decal paper. The decal paper is then over coated by screen-printing or hot laminating.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2002Publication date: January 16, 2003Applicant: WALLACE ARCHIVING LIMITEDInventor: William Peter Wallace
