  • Publication number: 20230035259
    Abstract: In a method of forming a beverage container, a can body is formed from a metal alloy. A can end is formed from a substantially compositionally identical metal alloy. The metal alloy is a heat treatable aluminum alloy . The heat treatable aluminum alloy is produced from up to 100% recycled aluminum material.

  • Publication number: 20220236979
    Abstract: A method, system and non-transitory computer readable instructions for application patching comprising, concatenating compressed data or uncompressed data or a mixture of compressed and uncompressed data into a continuous data set into a continuous data set and dividing the continuous data set into variable sized data chunks. Compressing each of the variable sized data chunks and dividing each of the variable sized data chunks into fixed size data blocks. Encrypting the fixed size data blocks to generate encrypted fixed size data blocks and storing the encrypted fixed sized data blocks or sending the encrypted fixed size data blocks over a network.

  • Patent number: 11262927
    Abstract: A method, system and non-transitory computer readable instructions for update optimization comprising, receiving application metadata wherein the application metadata includes a likelihood of future data change metric for one or more regions of application data. Determining from the application metadata which regions of the application data have a high likelihood of data change and generating variable data chunk boundaries based on the regions of the application data that have the high likelihood of data change.

  • Publication number: 20210034583
    Abstract: A method, system and non-transitory instruction for reducing fragmentation in patch system with variable sized data chunks comprising, analyzing a data chunk fragmentation metric comparing data chunk fragmentation metric to a threshold and initiating data chunk coalescence when the fragmentation is exceeds a threshold.
