International Classification:

G06F 9/455
G06F 12/00

US Classification:

703 25, 703 28, 709217, 711114

Abstract:

A data storage system includes memory, a controller, and an Ethernet interface enabling sending and/or receiving Ethernet packets to or from a client system, according to a first protocol. The controller is coupled between the memory and the Ethernet interface and essentially carries out a translation function. Information packets from the client system are translated from a first protocol to a second protocol for use by the memory, and information from the memory is translated from the second protocol to the first protocol for use by the client system as Ethernet packets.

Inventors:

Henry Green - Blacksburg VA, US

Assignee:

Intransa, Inc., a Delaware Corporation - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/113000, 711/142000, 711/143000

Abstract:

A data storage system and method to promote integrity of data written, optionally using a cache with buffer to persistent memory. Health of a computer system is dynamically monitored. If good health is present, during a data write operation, the cache system is configured so data is buffered within the cache, thus promoting faster performance. But if good health is absent, the cache system is configured to write through to persistent memory, thus trading off speed for integrity of the data stored. Optionally, a multi-level cache hierarchy system can be used as the caching system.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/114000, 711/170000

Abstract:

A client system makes a client request to read or write data according to a first protocol. The requests is received by an Array Management Controller which determines an associated storage location identifying at least one disk controller system and a corresponding memory location. The Array Management Controller translates the client request into a requests, which is sent to a disk controller system according to a second protocol. The disk controller system performs the client request and can perform parity calculation. The Array Management Controller combines the responses from each sent disk controller system request to generate a response into the client request. The client response is then sent to the client system according to a first protocol. Advantageously, a plurality of disk controller system can be used to perform parity calculations thereby reducing the parity calculations performed by the Array Management Controller.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Henry Green - Pleasanton CA, US

International Classification:

A61M005/315

US Classification:

604218000

Abstract:

A syringe having luminescent features to enhance readability. Said syringe having a central body portion that is a barrel having a proximal and distal end along a central longitudinal axis that acts as a reservoir for fluid inside the syringe. A plunger and coupled seal member can be engaged with the proximal end of the barrel creating a liquid tight reservoir inside the syringe. A plunger having a metal hook seated with a battery contacts a side of the battery. The metal hook is connected to a wire. A different wire contacts the opposite side of the battery. Both wires run along the longitudinal axis of the plunger to a light emitting diode. A tab is located between the battery and the metal hook in order to prohibit contact until ready to use. Illumination of barrel increases readability of demarcations on the barrel.
