Appl. No.:

09/815541

Inventors:

Robert Bradshaw - San Jose CA
Jack Jia - San Jose CA
John Sully - Santa Cruz CA
Britt Park - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

Interwoven, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

711162, 711118, 711154, 714 6, 714 15

Abstract:

Provided are a method and apparatus configured to enable the preservation and recovery of in-progress developments and changes as they are made in a system for development of content in the event of a process or system failure. The in-progress data developments and changes may be preserved while they are created, and may then be retrieved and recovered after the system or process is recovered. The in-progress data developments and changes may be preserved while they are created, and may then be retrieved and recovered after the system or process is recovered. In one embodiment, the cache memory contents are mirrored into a memory-mapped file, providing a redundant location for cache data. In the event of a failure, the mirrored cache information is available for recovery from a file. This extra cache location can be filled and flushed as needed by the system as the cache data is stored to disk or other memory location, obviating its preservation. The invention further includes a method of and apparatus for recovering and restarting the actual process or system after such a failure.

Inventors:

Scott Brave - Mountain View CA, US
Robert Bradshaw - San Jose CA, US
Jack Jia - Los Altos Hills CA, US
Christopher Minson - Menlo Park CA, US

Assignee:

Baynote, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 6, 707 10, 709224, 715205

Abstract:

The invention comprises a set of complementary techniques that dramatically improve enterprise search and navigation results. The core of the invention is an expertise or knowledge index, called UseRank that tracks the behavior of website visitors. The expertise-index is designed to focus on the four key discoveries of enterprise attributes: Subject Authority, Work Patterns, Content Freshness, and Group Know-how. The invention produces useful, timely, cross-application, expertise-based search and navigation results. In contrast, traditional Information Retrieval technologies such as inverted index, NLP, or taxonomy tackle the same problem with an opposite set of attributes than what the enterprise needs: Content Population, Word Patterns, Content Existence, and Statistical Trends. Overall, the invention emcompasses Baynote Search—a enhancement over existing IR searches, Baynote Guide—a set of community-driven navigations, and Baynote Insights—aggregated views of visitor interests and trends and content gaps.

International Classification:

C09K 5/00
C09K 5/04

US Classification:

252 71, 252 69, 252 67, 252 74

Abstract:

A low-melting point, heat transfer fluid made of a mixture of four inorganic nitrate salts: 9-18 wt % NaNO, 40-52 wt % KNO, 13-21 wt % LiNO, and 20-27 wt % Ca(NO). These compositions can have liquidus temperatures less than 100 C; thermal stability limits greater than 500 C; and viscosity in the range of 5-6 cP at 300 C; and 2-3 cP at 400 C.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709251, 709252, 709249

Abstract:

A high availability computing system includes a plurality of computer nodes (for example, a server system) connected by a first and a second network, wherein the computer nodes communicate with each other to detect server failure and transfer applications to other computer nodes on detecting server failure. The system incorporates methods of maintaining high availability in a server cluster having a plurality of nodes. A group communications service, a membership service and a system resource manager are instantiated on each node and the group communications service, the membership service and the system resource manager on each node communicate with other nodes to detect node failures and to transfer applications to other nodes on detecting node failure.
