Patent number: 11461286Abstract: A software and hardware facility persistently maintains metrics on directories at different levels within a tree of a filesystem. The facility hierarchically aggregates attributes of files contained by directories and stores them as metric values in inode date of each directory within a tree. The stored metric values represent summed or otherwise aggregated data from the descendant directories and files. The metric values are utilized to provide representative compositional samplings of data in the filesystem tree structure. Based on the metric value in its inode data, each directory is weighted in a manner that determines the likelihood that each file sample is taken from that directory.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Peter Godman, Kevin O'Neill, Thomas Urban, Graeme Williams

Patent number: 10459892Abstract: A software and hardware facility persistently maintains metrics on directories at different levels within a tree of a filesystem. The facility hierarchically aggregates attributes of files contained by directories and stores them as metric values in each directory within a tree. The stored values represent summed or otherwise aggregated data from the descendant directories and files. The metric values represent aggregated attributes such as total space consumed by a directory and all the descendant directories and files, total number of files within a directory, total data blocks used by a directory and its descendant directories and data files, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Peter Godman, Kevin O'Neill, Thomas Urban, Justin Husted, Graeme Williams

Publication number: 20140172208Abstract: For controlling a recuperation behavior in a motor vehicle having a hybrid drive or an electric drive, a basic value of a recuperation torque which is to be used for recuperation is predefined and/or can be set by at least one first operating element, a second operating element is used to set an intermediate value deviating from a basic value for the recuperation torque, after the intermediate value has been set by an operator temporarily, in particular for at least one coasting phase, the intermediate value is used as a recuperation torque, after which switching back to the basic value occurs where a resetting operation is entered.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2011Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Audi AGInventors: Reimund Limbacher, Alexander Kruse, Thomas Urban, Manfred Dietrich, Andreas Muigg
