Patent number: 12197790Abstract: Techniques discussed herein relate to improved data recovery techniques within cloud computing environments. The disclosed techniques utilize consistency groups that are identified for volumes corresponding to a compute instance. A plurality of resource identifiers uniquely identifying a respective cloud computing resource of the cloud computing environment can be maintained. A cloud computing instance corresponding to a resource identifier may be identified and volume metadata associated with that resource identifier is obtained. The volume metadata identifying at least one of a block volume or boot volume. A consistency group is generated for the identified volume devices for the computing instance and one or more schedules can be generated with which various snapshots of the volume devices of the group are to be subsequently generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Steven Boyd Nelson

Patent number: 9503522Abstract: Data objects can be migrated, while live, to virtualized clustered storage arrays in an efficient manner to allow for efficient transition from non-clustered storage to the virtualized clustered storage arrays. A data migration specification indicates data objects to be migrated and parameters for the migration. The parameters include a source of a data object, a destination of the data object in the virtualized clustered storage arrays, and a transfer space. A migration engine validates and parses the data migration specification. For each unique association of source, destination, and transfer space, the migration engine instantiates a migration process that drives and monitors migration of the corresponding data object. The migration processes operate in parallel for migration of the specified data objects into the virtualized clustered storage arrays.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventor: Steven Boyd Nelson

Patent number: 8436251Abstract: Articles and methods of manufacture are provided for using laser energy in an automated bonding machine to effect laser welding of ribbons to electronic components, particularly conductive ribbons comprising titanium for microelectronic circuits. Bonding and connection of microelectronic circuits with discrete heating avoids heat damage to peripheral microelectronic components. Bonding of flexible materials and low-resistance materials are possible, and are less dependant on substrate and terminal stability in comparison to other bonding methods. The ribbon-connections can forgo the use of blocks, bond pads, and bond pad arrays for attaching ribbon to a printed wiring board. Profile height of the ribbon-connection is decreased and the density of ribbons and bonding sites can be increased compared to ribbon-connections employing bonding pads.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2009Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventor: Steven Boyd

Publication number: 20070000825Abstract: Scaleable bacterial injection, aeration and filtration system to effectively control microbial community function of aquatic systems. The present invention is a substantially simplified system with respect to handling growth and dispersion of microorganisms in solution and is also adaptable to many different end-use applications, including treatment of ornamental fish and aquaculture, pond and streams and sewage treatment systems. Initial microorganism materials are provided in the form of aqueous suspensions, which are incorporated into a large volume of water in a vessel. Microorganisms are entrapped inside a carrier that serves as a physical enclosure for cell retention. It has a porous structure to facilitate the diffusion of substances, such as ammonia, nitrate, nutrients, fuels and organic carbon, into its internal void volume, where substrate reduction is accomplished by entrapped cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2004Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventor: Steven Boyd

Publication number: 20050284850Abstract: A method and system for assembling a component within a medical device that includes a test station to determine whether the component is in a predetermined working state, and an orientation sensor to sense an orientation vector of the component. A first sensor senses a position of the component within an aperture of the device and plots a weld path associated with the component. An installation head obtains the component, advances the component between the test station, the orientation sensor and the first sensor, and through the aperture, and a weld head generates a weld along a generated weld path.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2004Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventor: Steven Boyd
