Patent number: 8554738Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can determine costs associated with updating file formats. In particular, the architecture can interface with a network-accessible data storage service in order to determine a cost-benefit to the data storage service for a wide variety of conversion scenarios applicable to the particular topology of the data storage service. For example, the cost-benefit can differ for storage services configured according to a client-server model relative to storage services configured according to a distributed topology. Regardless, the architecture can identify a legacy format, select a converter for converting the legacy format to the updated format, and then determine the cost-benefit for a variety of conversion or migration scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Catherine Claire Marshall, Yan Leshinsky, Elissa Murphy, Navjot Virk

Publication number: 20110289289Abstract: Architecture that is an efficient checkpoint process that performs backup and restore of checkpoint data items using bounded checkpoint buffers and log buffers in memory. Checkpoint processing can be performed using sequential inputs/outputs to a non-volatile storage medium (e.g., hard disk) on which the checkpoint files are persisted. Checkpoint processing is performed is in response to memory parameters that indicate the number or size of log entries accumulating in-memory relative to a memory threshold. In other words, given a bounded memory (e.g., cache), the rate of change of the log entries in the bounded memory triggers checkpoint processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2010Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Yan Leshinsky, Murali Brahmadesam

Patent number: 7574481Abstract: A method and system that facilitates automatic software updates from an online source such as the Internet, wherein a connection to determine whether an update (e.g., a driver or software component) is available online is no longer necessary during detection time. Information stored for updates corresponding to driver and other software component detection is locally cached, whereby update information is available when no connection exists, eliminating potentially wasted connections and being particularly advantageous if occurring before the connection can be made. When a device is installed or software components are detected, instead of requiring a connection to enable updates, the cached information is evaluated to determine whether the update is available online. If so, the update is made when a connection is made and otherwise desired by the user. The user may defer making the connection, and the update may happen automatically and/or in the background on the next connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2000Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian J. Moore, Yan Leshinsky

Publication number: 20060150146Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a system and method of extending programming languages to enable static inheritance. In particular, static subclasses can be defined which extend class functionality and/or behaviors without extending base class state. The subclasses can be specified to include static fields as well as static or instance methods and/or properties that provide a more specific interpretation of an object without extending the state thereof. Furthermore, a static subclass can be specified to provide for type aliasing. Casting is also enabled in both directions between base class type and derived class type in a convenient manner without run-time performance penalties. According to one aspect of the invention, the disclosed systems and methods can be employed to create specific programmatic context, for instance for accessing, manipulating, and type checking external data (e.g., XML).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henricus Meijer, Sergey Dubinets, Yan Leshinsky, Evgeny Veselov

Publication number: 20060047671Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a system and method of incorporating collation information into data types. In particular, the subject invention provides for parameterizing data types with collation information such that a comparison between two different collations generates a static-type error rather than a run-time error. Additionally, the invention affords for conveniently working with localized data types to allow generic parameterization over collations as well as ordinary types. In the context of strings, the present invention enables concurrent use of strings in multiple languages and facilitates the correct handling thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henricus Meijer, Yan Leshinsky, Arpan Desai, Andrew Kimball
