  • Publication number: 20110210277
    Abstract: An electromagnetic regulator having an armature unit with a plunger unit (12) carrying out a linear movement when energized by a current flowing in a stationary coil unit (26, 38), wherein the plunger unit is designed to cooperate at the end thereof with a regulator partner (10). The plunger unit has a slide or ball bearing (36) at the end thereof which is fixed in a cage-like housing (38, 40) on the plunger unit such as to be able to rotate in reaction to a frictional force at right angles to the direction of the linear regulation movement.

  • Publication number: 20110180567
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a dosing container for releasing, in a controlled manner, pasty or viscous product by manually pressing on the container, comprising a closable removal opening, wherein the container comprises two side walls which are arranged substantially parallel to each other and which are connected to each other by two face-side walls, which comprise at least one side fold through which the face-side walls (3) are divided into at least two face-side wall segments which can be laid against each other and/or against the inside of the side walls, wherein the side walls abut each other at an end at a distance from the removal opening and are pressed inward, wherein the removal opening is provided on a container head extending substantially at right angles with respect to the side walls and/or the face-side walls. With the present disclosure, a dosing container having improved restoring properties is specified.

  • Publication number: 20110145196
    Abstract: Performing a backup of a stub object located on a file system managed by a hierarchical storage manager configured to migrate data objects from the file system to a migration storage pool. The stub object includes information for recalling a migrated data object and is configured to determine whether a backup copy of the migrated data object is stored in a backup storage pool if the backup is performed in an incremental backup operation. The backup further includes directing the hierarchical storage manager to recall the migrated data object to the file system if the backup copy of the migrated data object is not stored in the backup storage pool or if the backup is performed in a selective backup operation. The backup additionally includes storing a backup copy of the migrated data object in the backup storage pool if the migrated data object is recalled.

  • Patent number: 7953945
    Abstract: A method for performing backup of a stub object located on a file system managed by a hierarchical storage manager configured to migrate data objects from the file system 10 a migration storage pool includes determining whether a backup copy of the migrated data object is stored in a backup storage pool if the backup is performed in an incremental backup operation. The storage manager recalls the migrated data object to the file system if the backup copy of the migrated data object is not stored in the backup storage pool or if the backup is performed in a selective backup operation. If the migrated data object is recalled, the backup copy of the migrated data object is created and stored in the backup storage pool. If the migrated data object is not recalled, a backup copy of the stub object is created and stored in the backup storage pool.

  • Publication number: 20110040937
    Abstract: Embodiments for managing data in a hierarchical storage server storing data blocks of a database system comprising primary storage devices being in an active mode and secondary storage devices being in one of an active and passive mode are provided. In response to read and write requests for data blocks at logical storage locations, a block mapping device determines physical storage locations on the storage devices. Read requests switch over secondary storage devices to the active mode when they are in the passive mode. Write requests write data blocks only to the primary storage devices. Secondary storage devices that have not been accessed for a minimum activation time may be switched over from the active to the passive mode to save power consumption and cooling. Data migration and data recall policies control moving of data blocks between the primary and secondary storage devices and are primarily based on threshold values.

  • Patent number: 6835159
    Abstract: A device for transmitting torque and axially securing a first and a second component (30, 40) that exert torque. The second component advantageously consists of a disk 40, which can be placed with its recesses 42, which are arranged on its periphery, onto the axial projections 33 of a first component 30 in such a way that the projections 33 of a first component 30 protrude axially from the recesses 42 of the disk 40, and that on the protruding projections 33 of the first component 30 a preferably annular component 20 can be placed in such a way that the first component 30 can be permanently connected with the annular component 20 on their contact surfaces.
