D686106, Jul 16, 2013

Filed:

Dec 8, 2010

Appl. No.:

29/380602

Inventors:

John Jordan - Canal Winchester OH, US
Scott Jordan - Canal Winchester OH, US
Jeff Jordan - Canal Winchester OH, US

Assignee:

Dysart Corporation - Canal Winchester OH

International Classification:

1102

US Classification:

D11160

US Patent:

50635034, Nov 5, 1991

Filed:

Dec 18, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/452094

Inventors:

John D. Jordan - Worthington OH

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

395725

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for controlling process operations against conceptual structures formed of entities embodied on a complex infrastructure comprising tree structures of complex object nodes. The apparatus and method responds to a process request by selectively locking an entity to lock the entity and a structure of entities dependent on the locked entity. The requested entity lock is implemented on an infrastructure node embodying the entity to enable process access to the locked entity and dependent entities thereof.

Appl. No.:

7/452100

Inventors:

John D. Jordan - Worthington OH

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for controlling concurrent process access of infrastructures. Apparatus and method responds to a process request by selectively locking ones of the nodes and enables other processes to concurrently lock ancestral and child nodes located in the tree structure of the locked node independent of the lock applied to the selectively locked node thereby enabling concurrently running processes to write into and read information from the locked nodes.

Appl. No.:

7/452096

Inventors:

John D. Jordan - Worthington OH

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

395725

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for controlling concurrent process access of infrastructures comprising tree structures of complex object nodes of information. The apparatus and method respond to a request of a computer process by selectively applying a tree lock to a node to lock the node and child nodes located in a tree structure of the tree locked node. Subsequently, the process transports the applied tree lock from the node to selected child nodes located in the tree structure of the node thereby freeing the unlocked node and child nodes thereof for subsequent access by concurrently running ones of the processes.

Appl. No.:

7/452095

Inventors:

John D. Jordan - Worthington OH

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laborabories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

395725

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for controlling concurrent process access of infrastructures comprising tree structures of complex object nodes. Apparatus associated with each complex object node records an accumulate count of each type of lock applied by concurrently running computer processes against each infrastructure complex node. The apparatus and method respond to lock application and removal requests of concurrently running computer processes for incrementing and decrementing an accumulative count of locks currently pending against a process selected complex node and accumulative counts of locks currently pending against ancestral complex nodes located in a tree structure of the process selected complex node to maintain a current record of selective locks applied to each infrastructure complex node thereby enabling read and write of information into and from complex nodes of the infrastructure.

Appl. No.:

7/452093

Inventors:

John D. Jordan - Worthington OH

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1540

US Classification:

395725

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for controlling concurrent process access of infrastructures. The apparatus and method selectively locks nodes and tree structures to reserve lock a node and tree structure for subsequent exclusive and share locking by a process. Currently running processes have share read only access to the reserved locked node and tree structure until a subsequent exclusive lock is applied by the process to the reserve locked node and tree structure.

Appl. No.:

14/546485

Inventors:

- Canal Winchester OH, US
John Jordan - Canal Winchester OH, US

International Classification:

A47F 7/00

Abstract:

A figurine is provided which includes a body portion, an opening, and a plurality of appendages. The opening in the body portion is configured to secure a container. The plurality of appendages are extending distally from the body portion and configured to stabilize the figurine. The body portion and the plurality of appendages include a ductile core and a flexible protective covering. The figurine is configured to plastically deform in response to moderate bending force that is within the capabilities of an average human. The figurine is configured to have less than 5% springback.
