International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

713 2

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a system and a method for facilitating computer system recovery includes identifying a desired delivery mechanism for performing a recovery, adapting a disk image for use with a particular type of recovery medium if a user communicated a desire to use that recovery medium, and writing the disk image to a target destination.

International Classification:

A61B 17/04
A61B 17/12

US Classification:

606144

Abstract:

In repairing soft tissue with a bone anchoring instrument (such as reattaching a tendon of a torn rotator cuff), the bone anchoring instrument may be used to anchor the soft tissue to a region of bone. The anchors inserted into the underlying bone may have one or more lengths of suture or wire attached thereto which may be tensioned independently of one another to affix the soft tissue to the bone by having a selector mechanism selectively engage and disengage ratcheted tensioning wheels from one another. Suture loading mechanisms may be employed for passing suture lengths into and/or through the anchors prior to deployment into the bone where such mechanisms may employ suture snares which are configured to reconfigure from an expanded shape through which suture lengths may be easily passed to a low-profile shape which secures the suture lengths within the snare.

International Classification:

G06F011/00

US Classification:

714042000

Abstract:

Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with cluster-based partition backup and restoration are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a logic for handling metadata that describes a partition on a hard disk drive, where the partition may be backed up onto the hard disk drive and/or restored from the hard disk drive. The example system may also include a logic for handling data transfers to and/or from the partition to be backed up and/or restored and a cluster-based backup image stored on the hard disk drive.

International Classification:

G06F009/445

US Classification:

717174000

Abstract:

Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with producing a platform specific software image are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a data store configured to store a superset of building blocks from which the platform specific software image can be built. The example system may also include a build logic configured to selectively extract building blocks from the superset and to produce a platform specific software image based on information available about the target platform for which the software image is being made platform specific. The example system may also include an image creator for storing the platform specific software image on a computer-readable medium that is operably connectable to the target platform.
