Filed:

Jun 30, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/173862

Inventors:

Lily Ya Liu Chen - Cupertino CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707639, 707E17044

Abstract:

A technique includes, in a first computer system, archiving data for a plurality of environments. Each of the environments are associated with a different combination of an active data source selected from a plurality of active data sources and an archive target selected from a plurality of archive targets. The technique includes capturing a partial snapshot of the archiving, the partial snapshot is associated with one environment for the plurality of environments such that the partial snapshot may be used to replicate said archiving associated with the one environment on another computer system.

Abstract:

An artificial seed has a powder structure or powder padded layer as a sealing material for anti-contamination purpose. This powder layer, 2-30 mm preferably 5-20 mm in thickness, consists of numerous fine sandy hydrophobic particles. The openings among the particles are small and winding enough to block micro-organisms from penetrating this dry and nutrientless layer into the seed, but not enough to block the needed oxygen. The hydrophobic nature of the particles is also effective to block water permeation and microbes therein, but not effective to block the tissue to grow out of the seed. The powder layer can cover any exposed part of the artificial seed. For the artificial seeds with a water-proof tough shell, the powder layer covers only the mouth or mouths of the shell. But for those with a water-soluble capsule, or water-soluble film, it covers all over the contents of the seeds. In both cases, the powder layer is again covered with the water-soluble film to kept the powder particles in position.

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed which provide an approach for selecting group-based digital content using a market system. An application receives a bid that indicates a selection for a user-configurable feature of a shared online activity and specifies an amount of currency that a corresponding participant is bidding for the selection. The application identifies a selection of the user-configurable feature having a highest total bid and initiates the shared online activity configured according to the user-configurable feature having the highest total bid.
