  • Patent number: 8621645
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium that receives a request to output content with a computing apparatus in a vehicle. Privacy information associated with the content is identified. Environmental data associated with the vehicle is determined, the environmental data including at least a number of occupants present in the vehicle. At least a portion of the content is modified and/or suppressed based on the privacy information and the environmental data. The modified content and/or any portion of the content not suppressed is output by the computing apparatus in the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8442954
    Abstract: In a method of linking to information in a deduplication data sequence, a branching point is identified. The branching point is a place where a branch data sequence diverges from a parent data sequence that has been previously stored in a data deduplication process. A signature value associated with a subsequence of the information represented in the branch data sequence is determined. A branch location where the information of the branch data sequence begins is identified. Link information is stored in association with the branching point. The link information is stored in a computer memory. The link information comprises a link to the branch location and also comprises a portion of the signature value.

  • Publication number: 20110016088
    Abstract: In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, an anticipatory integrated system and method for performance and capacity monitoring and management of a data redundancy backup system is disclosed. In one embodiment, capacity and system performance benchmark parameters set in backup appliances prior to customer shipment are integrated into the backup appliance shipped to the customer to perform real-time field monitoring and analysis of system performance and capacity requirements. In one embodiment, these parameters are updated over time on the basis of local measurements and remotely loaded data. In one embodiment, the capacity and performance component may be usable as a standalone simulation tool to provided system modeling, monitoring and prediction of the performance and capacity requirements as the system is used by the customer.
