  • Patent number: 9350873
    Abstract: Computer media and methods for providing emergency services protocols to an emergency service call taker are disclosed herein. A public safety answering point receives an emergency service phone call from a caller. The caller is placed in voice communication with an emergency call handler. The system monitors the voice communication between the caller and the emergency call handler. In response to detecting one or more known keyword in the voice communication, the system provides the emergency call handler with one or more defined protocols for guiding additional communications between the caller and the emergency call handler.

  • Patent number: 9323616
    Abstract: A method of defining a layout mapping function for a parity distributed RAID array including a plurality of target objects, the layout mapping function defining the mapping of the group-address space to the target-address space in the array and including a matrix defining a unit space across a plurality of target objects, the matrix Includes columns defining the target objects and rows defining equally-offset sequential units on the target objects, the method including: a) defining, on a computing apparatus, a layout of stripe groups across the target objects by defining a pattern including a plurality of stripe groups into a predetermined pattern and repeating the pattern across the matrix, each stripe group including a plurality of data units and a plurality of parity units; and b) implementing, on a computing apparatus, the layout on the target objects of the RAID array.
