Filed:

May 2, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/847638

Inventors:

Michael Dempsey - Maynard MA
Eric Dickman - Newton MA

Assignee:

SuperSpeed Software, Inc. - Sudbury MA

International Classification:

G06F 1206

US Classification:

711113

Abstract:

Methods of caching data in a computer wherein a cache is given a number of caching parameters. In a method for caching data in a computer having an operating system with a file caching mechanism, the file caching mechanism is selectively disabled and a direct block cache is accessed to satisfy a request of the request stream. Cache memory can be expanded by allocating memory to a memory table created in a user mode portion of the computer and having a set of virtual memory addresses. Methods of caching data can include creating an associative map, and optimizing the order of writes to a disk with a lazy writer. Methods are further assisted by displaying cache performance criteria on a user interface and allowing user adjustment of caching parameters such as cache size, cache block size and lazy writer aggressiveness. A user may further be given the ability to enable or disable a cache for a given selected disk volume.

Abstract:

A system, method, and processor readable medium containing code embodied therein are provided that enable system users to view one or more system user's status and to establish communications with the one or more system users using a user indicator in an electronic document (e. g. , electronic mail message, hypertext markup language document). The user indicator may be a system user's login identification presented as a hypertext link to one or more communication options. The system may include an identification module for identifying the one or more system users. The identification module may identify a system user's login identification (e. g. , the system user's name, employee number) and provide the system user's status using the user indicator. A status module, responsive to the identification module, provides the status of the system users. The status module may provide a visual indication of a system user's status using, for example, color coding, formatting, symbols, etc.

Abstract:

A system, method, and processor readable medium containing processor readable program code embodied therein are provided that enable network users to view one or more network user's status and to establish communications with the one or more network users using a user indicator in an electronic document (e. g. , electronic mail message, hypertext markup language document). The user indicator may be a network user's login identification presented as a hypertext link to one or more communication options. The system may include an identification module for identifying the one or more network users. The identification module may identify a network user's login identification (e. g. , the network user's name, employee number) and provide the network user's status using the user indicator.

US Classification:

340 101, 340 105, 3405731, 3405721, 340 51, 235375

Abstract:

A system is provided for establishing a protected zone and monitoring interactions therewith. The system includes a protected zone designator and a wearable device. The protected zone designator establishes the protected zone. The protected zone designator is configured for placement at a location in which the protected zone is desired. The wearable device is separate and distal from the protected zone designator. The wearable device includes a protected zone recognition component configured to recognize the protected zone and identify pre-defined interaction criteria for the protected zone. Upon the wearable device entering the protected zone, the protected zone recognition component recognizes the protected zone and identifies the interaction criteria of the protected zone. Based on the interaction criteria the wearable device determines and records compliance with the interaction criteria.
