摘要： Systems and methods for capturing desired interactions and non-interactions of a set of strands (e.g., DNA strands, RNA strands) that may be used in various technological applications, including DNA molecular probes used in medical diagnostics, forensics, microbial ecology, molecular computation, DNA origami, and numerous other applications. Given a nucleic acid system with a certain defined binding pattern, the implementations of the present disclosure automatically generate nucleotide sequences that achieve the intended binding pattern and not other binding patterns, subject to miscellaneous other constraints of the system. Advantageously, given nucleotides i and j, the implementations of the present disclosure consider the binding behavior only in a limited neighborhood of nucleotides surrounding each nucleotide in their respective strands, rather than the binding behavior of whole assignment of which they are a part. These features provide a time-efficient and incremental algorithm that is suitable for numerous practical applications.

摘要： A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as a transaction. An application specifies that file system-related operations are to be handled as a transaction, and the application is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages operations consistent with transactional behavior. Logging and recovery are also facilitated by logging page data separate from the main log with a unique signature that enables the log to determine whether a page was fully flushed to disk prior to a system crash.

摘要： A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as transaction. An application specifies that file system-related operations should be handled in a transaction, and is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component provides data isolation by providing multiple file versions such that transactional readers do not receive changes until after the transaction commits and the reader reopens the file. The component handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is logged separate from the main log, with signatures establishing whether pages were fully flushed to disk. Namespace isolation via isolation directories allows a transaction to see its operational effects but not effects of other uncommitted transactions. Transactions over a network are facilitated.

摘要翻译： 可以作为事务执行多个文件系统操作的事务文件系统。 一个应用程序指定文件系统相关的操作应该在事务中处理，并且被赋予与事务上下文关联的文件句柄。 对于与事务上下文相关联的文件系统请求，文件系统组件管理与事务行为一致的操作。 该组件通过提供多个文件版本来提供数据隔离，以便在事务提交之后事务读取器不会接收更改，并且读取器重新打开该文件。 该组件处理多级日志中的命名空间日志记录操作，便于记录和恢复。 页面数据与主日志分开记录，签名确定页面是否完全刷新到磁盘。 通过隔离目录命名空间隔离允许事务查看其操作效果，但不影响其他未提交的事务。 通过网络进行的交易是便利的。

摘要： A method and system for referring to and binding to objects using a moniker object is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a moniker object contains information to identify linked source data and provides methods through which a program can bind to the linked source data. A binding method is provided that returns an instance of an interface through which the linked source data can be accessed. The moniker object can identify source data that is stored persistently or nonpersistently. In addition, moniker objects can be composed to form a composite moniker object. A composite moniker object is used to identify linked source data that is nested in other data. In a preferred embodiment, the moniker object provides other methods including a reducing method that returns a more efficient representation of the moniker object; equality and hash methods for comparing moniker objects; and inverse, common prefix, and relative-path-to methods for comparing and locating moniker objects from other moniker objects. Several implementations of a moniker object are provided including a file moniker, an item moniker, a generic composite moniker, a pointer moniker, and an anti moniker. Each implementation is a moniker class and has a class identifier that identifies code to manage the moniker class.

摘要： A method and system for interfacing an application program with a compound document storage system. The present invention provides an interface which an application program uses to manipulate compound documents. In a preferred embodiment, this interface is implemented in a multilayered architecture. The first layer provides methods which an application program uses to access a compound document using the functions of the second layer. The second layer maps requests to store data in the compound document to a storage format using the functions of the third layer. The third layer maps requests to write to a file to an arbitrary storage medium.

摘要： A computer method and system for passing a pointer to an interface from a server process to a client process. In a preferred embodiment, the server process instantiates an object that has multiple interfaces. The server process identifies an interface to pass to the client process and creates a stub object for receiving a request to invoke a function member of the interface and for invoking the requested function member upon receiving the request. The server process then sends an identifier of the stub to the client process. When the client process receives the identifier of the stub, it instantiates a proxy object for receiving requests to invoke a function member of the interface and for sending the request to the identified stub. The client process can then invoke the function members of the interface by invoking function members of the proxy object. The proxy object sends a request to the identified stub. The identified stub then invokes the corresponding function member of the interface.

An application specifies that file system-related operations are to be handled as a transaction, and the application is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages the operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component provides data isolation by providing multiple versions of a file by tracking copies of changed pages, such that transactional readers do not receive changes to a file made by transactional writers, until the transactional writer commits the transaction and the reader reopens the file. The component handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is logged separate from the main log, with a unique signature that enables the log to determine whether a page was fully flushed to disk.

摘要： A method and system for retrieving and maintaining presentation data in a presentation cache is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a presentation cache object provides a presentation cache with multiple cache entries. Each entry contains an indication of the format of the presentation data and the presentation data stored in that particular format. In addition, other information, such as the advisees of advisory connections for notification of cache updates, can be maintained. The presentation cache object responds to requests for retrieving source object data by returning presentation data cached within the presentation cache when it is available. In addition, the presentation cache object determines when it should delegate requests to the source object and when it can satisfy them on its own. The presentation cache object can return presentation data to a requesting client program even if the server program implementing the source object is unavailable or not running. The presentation cache object can also choose to persistently store its cache entries so that the presentation cache is maintained when the source object is closed. In addition, client programs can provide control over the frequency and subject of presentation data updates within the presentation cache.
