  • Patent number: 11494272
    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure relate to a method, a device and a computer program product for data protection. The method comprises determining objects selected by a user in a set of objects, and automatically generating one or more corresponding filtering conditions according to the objects selected by the user. The method further comprises automatically setting a predetermined protection policy for objects meeting the filtering conditions in the set of objects. In the embodiments of this disclosure, corresponding filtering conditions are automatically generated according to some protected objects selected by a user to form a dynamic filter, without manually setting the filtering conditions by the user, thereby improving the user experience of a data protection system.

  • Patent number: 11113153
    Abstract: A method and system for sharing pre-calculated fingerprints and data chunks amongst storage systems on a cloud local area network. Specifically, the disclosed method and system extend the functionality of data deduplication storage systems to include querying other data deduplication storage systems on the cloud local area network for fingerprints, corresponding to data chunks, when these fingerprints and data chunks are not stored locally. The transfer of data chunks between one data deduplication storage system to another through the cloud local area network may be a faster and cheaper alternative to the transfer of data chunks between a data deduplication storage system and a client through a wide area network.

  • Publication number: 20210046399
    Abstract: There is disclosed a near shore floating vessel for large scale production of methanol (capable of producing at least 4000 tons per 24-hour day) from natural gas (methane) and for export shipment. More specifically, the near shore floating vessel obtains methane from an on-shore methane stream or pipeline. The disclosed near-shore floating vessel provides several environmental and commercial advantages to move methane export to a near shore instead of an on-shore location.

  • Publication number: 20050272334
    Abstract: This invention relates to textile substrates to which a finishing treatment has been applied during the manufacturing process. Such a finishing treatment provides improved water and/or oil repellency and stain and soil resistance. The finishing treatment generally includes a repellent agent, a stain release agent, and a particulate component. Other compounds may be added to the treatment, such as stain-blocking agents, crosslinking agents, coupling agents, antimicrobial agents, and pH adjusting agents. The components of the finishing treatment are generally applied to the textile substrate using an application process that results in layered structures on the surface of the treated substrate, which has been found to greatly improve the durability of the treatment. Such treated textile substrates thus exhibit excellent stain and soil resistance and water and/or oil repellency properties.
