G08B 1314

US Classification:

3405721, 3405681, 340571, 34053911

Abstract:

A method and system for effecting a security web upon multiple devices. In one embodiment of the invention, multiple devices are enabled to respond as authorized members of a security web such that each device acts as a co-monitoring device within the web. Further, each device transmits an identifiable RF signal at regular time intervals and is enabled to search for the transmitted RF signal from every other device within the security web. Next the invention determines a non-authorized loss of proximity from the web of any of the devices of the web. Upon determining a non-authorized loss of proximity of any device, the invention provides for at least one of the devices of the web to initiate an event.

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G06F 12/02

Abstract:

A method that uses a reduced logical and physical address field size for storing data having steps of receiving a set of data to write to a solid state drive, determining a logical address to the set of data, setting a logical offset of the set of data to be equal to a physical block offset modulo of the data and writing the set of data to the solid state drive in locations on solid state drive that accept a size of the address of the set of data is disclosed.

Abstract:

A cluster association recognition system and related method are described. The system may identify sequences of data clusters in compilations of cluster journals. The system may generate the compilations by populating the cluster journals with cluster identifications associated with host addresses identified in host read requests. Upon receipt of future read requests, the cluster sequences may be used to identify data sets that are associated with a cluster sequence in order to identify further data sets that a host is likely to request.
