Patent number: 9810508Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide significant firearm recoil force reduction and can be integrated within a traditional firearm stock. Such recoil shock absorbers include a body assembly, plunger assembly, and return spring. The body assembly includes a shock tube, cylinder end, and accumulator. The shock tube includes an opening at its distal end, the cylinder end is rotatably coupled to the shock tube, and the accumulator is coupled to the cylinder end. The cylinder end can be selectably/adjustably aligned with the shock tube opening, resulting in a selectable/adjustable orifice and a pathway from the shock tube to the accumulator. The plunger assembly is slidably coupled to the body assembly and includes a piston. The piston and the shock tube are in slideable relation such that when the plunger assembly is introduced into the body assembly the piston is introduced into the shock tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: KYNTEC CORPORATIONInventors: Gerald J. Spyche, Jr., Thomas J. Miller

Patent number: 9594798Abstract: A file system uses data integrity techniques that are a selectable attribute of a file system object. Some file system objects have integrity on for various accesses, while other file system objects do not. Different default settings can be provided for different file system objects. Such a setting for a file system object can be changed to and from having integrity on. Given a file system object with an attribute, the file system provides file system operations for which the data integrity operation used on the file system object depends on this attribute. Such operations include, but are not limited to, operations for changing the attribute, creating file system objects with such attributes, providing and changing default settings for such attributes, and writing data to and reading data from files, which use different data integrity techniques based on this attribute.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: William Tipton, Surendra Verma, Thomas J.

Patent number: 9575678Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to storage allocation. In aspects, a hierarchical data structure is used to track allocation data for storage managed by a file system. The hierarchical data structure may have multiple levels with each level having data regarding a different granularity of storage. Portions of the hierarchical data structure may be locked independently of other portions of the hierarchical data structure. The hierarchical data structure may indicate that one or more portions of storage are for exclusive use by a directory. Extra space may be reserved in allocated space in anticipation of subsequent operations. Allocation requestors may obtain storage allocation from regions associated with different levels of the hierarchical data structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Thomas J.

Patent number: 9448869Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to error detection for files. In aspects, before allowing updates to a clean file, a flag marking the file as dirty is written to non-volatile storage. Thereafter, the file may be updated as long as desired. Periodically or at some other time, the file may be marked as clean after all outstanding updates to the file and error codes associated with the file are written to storage. While waiting for outstanding updates and error codes to be written to storage, if additional requests to update the file are received, the file may be marked as dirty again prior to allowing the additional requests to update the file. The request to write a clean flag regarding the file may be done lazily.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Thomas J. Miller, Jonathan M. Cargille, William R. Tipton, Surendra Verma

Patent number: 9430160Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to maintaining consistency in a storage system. In aspects, one or more objects may be updated in the context of a transaction. In conjunction with updating the objects, logical copies of the objects may be obtained and modified. A request to write the updated logical copies is sent to a storage controller. The logical copies do not overwrite the original copies. In conjunction with sending the request, a data structure is provided for the storage controller to store on the disk. The data structure indicates the one or more objects that were supposed to be written to disk and may include verification data to indicate the content that was supposed to be written to disk. During recovery, this data structure may be used to determine whether all of the object(s) were correctly written to disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Thomas J. Miller, Jonathan M. Cargille, William R. Tipton, Surendra Verma
