Patent number: 7146523Abstract: System-managed duplexing of coupling facility structures. A plurality of instances of coupling facility structures are maintained in a plurality of coupling facilities. Duplexing processing associated with the plurality of instances is managed by one or more operating systems, making many of the steps associated with duplexing transparent to the exploiters of the coupling facility structures. System-managed duplexing provides high availability for coupling facility structure data via a robust recovery mechanism (i.e., duplexing failover).Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2002Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruth A.

Publication number: 20050277362Abstract: The important feature of this invention is the independent adjustable drawstrings that run through independent drawstring chambers that surround the entire circumference of each bra cup. The Drawstring Bra Cups are designed to offer the moderate-to-large breasted and overly heavy breasted females better support and the illusion of smaller breast. However, it is also suitable for the smaller breasted females seeking the illusion of fuller breast size. Our bra is also excellent for females with sagging breast due to childbirth, aging and weight changes and females involved in sports activities, exercising, and just normal everyday usage. The drawstrings can be tighten or pulled up to individual preferred size, shape, comfort, and support. The physical appearance of this bra is that of a conventional brassiere. The drawstring alleviates some of stress put on the bra straps, which in turn help, eliminate much of the bruising on the shoulders.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2003Publication date: December 15, 2005Inventors: Marsha Allen, Ruth Allen-Rhymes

Patent number: 6609214Abstract: Storage structures of a shared storage processor of a computing environment are copied. A copy operation for a storage structure of the shared storage processor is initiated. Although the storage structure is owned by an exploiter of the storage structure, at least a portion of the contents of the storage structure is copied via an operating system of the computing environment. The at least a portion of the contents are copied from the storage structure to another storage structure of the computing environment. Both storage structures may be located within the same shared storage processor or within different shared storage processors.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1999Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dennis J.

Patent number: 6266783Abstract: Rebuilding of storage structures within a shared storage processor of a computing environment. A rebuild of a storage structure, which is owned by an exploiter of the storage structure, is initiated. Thereafter, the storage structure is rebuilt via an operating system of the computing environment. The operating system is distinct from the exploiter owning the storage structure and lacks knowledge of the contents of the storage structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruth A.

Patent number: 5634072Abstract: A method and system for managing one or more coupling facilities in a data processing system. An active policy is used to control resources located in the coupling facilities. The active policy can be changed such that control of the resources can be altered. Compatible changes are made immediately and incompatible changes are made at a subsequent time. Recorded in the active policy and in the coupling facilities is information regarding the resources. When the information in the active policy is not in synchronization with the information in the coupling facilities, a reconciliation technique is performed. The resources in the coupling facilities can be modified but prior to the modification, the intended modifications are stored in the active policy.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1996Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruth A. Allen, Joseph S. Insalaco, Kelly B. Pushong, Michael D. Swanson

Patent number: 5604863Abstract: A method for coordinating phases of program execution within a data processing system. One or more program defined synchronization events are established. Each synchronization event is responded to by one or more programs to coordinate phases of execution. The operating system notifies the one or more programs when all responses are received. A next program defined synchronization event may be established after a response is received for a previous synchronization event.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1995Date of Patent: February 18, 1997Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruth A.

Patent number: 5515499Abstract: A method and system for rebuilding storage structures located within one or more structure processing facilities of a data processing system. A connection is made to a first storage structure having a name and one or more predefined characteristics. Thereafter, a second storage structure is allocated having the same name as the first structure, however, one or more of the predefined characteristics of the second structure are different than the predefined characteristics of the first structure. The second structure may be used for planned system reconfigurations or for recovery from system failures. During the rebuilding process, notification of phases of the rebuilding process are given to the active users. Further, a capability is provided for terminating the rebuilding process. In addition, a method and system for coordinating phases of user defined processing is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1995Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruth A. Allen, Jaime Anaya, Roger L. Brockmeyer, Lisa M. Goetze, James C. Kleewein, Jeffrey M. Nick, Ronald E. Parrish, Kelly B. Pushong, David H. Surman, Michael D. Swanson
