A promotional item includes a digital data storage disk adapted for inserting into a player for playback by a recipient. A disk carrier holds the data storage disk. The disk carrier cooperates with the data storage disk to form a novelty beverage coaster adapted for protecting an underlying surface. A moisture-absorbent plug is inserted into a center hole formed with the data storage disk, and is adapted for receiving and, transporting moisture away from a top side of the coaster.

A system and method for reclaiming memory occupied by compiled code resulting from a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler is provided. An address space used to store code resulting from a JIT compiler is memory mapped using a special filesystem. A map is maintained identify method name and corresponding JIT pages. When the memory manager needs more space, it requests that the special filesystem write the data from memory back to nonvolatile storage. The special filesystem acts as if the data was written. When the code is subsequently called, a page fault and an invalid operation exception occur and are handled. The data in the map is used to recompile the method to the same address space and the faulting instruction is re-executed.

A system and method are provided to allow demand loading and discarding of Java executable image (JXE) files. The virtual machine allocates an address space for a requested JXE program. The read-only portion of the JXE file is memory mapped from its nonvolatile location to the allocated memory space using read-only mapping and the read/write section of the JXE file are loaded into memory. When a page of the JXE program is needed, a page fault occurs if the read-only portion has not been loaded into memory. The operating system's page fault handler retrieves the needed page(s) from the nonvolatile storage location based upon the mapping data that resulted from the previously performed memory mapping. Because the read-only section of the JXE file is memory mapped using read-only mapping, the operating system's paging process is free to discard previously loaded memory pages that contain read-only portions of the JXE file.
摘要:
A method for hierarchically expanding and contracting element marks in a structured document. The structured document is hierarchically organized, such as documents written in Standardized General Markup Language (SGML). An element consists of a begin tag and its associated content, and may optionally include an end tag. The editor can mark an element, to produce an element mark, to indicate its selection for document processing operations such as moving, copying or deleting the content of the element mark. The element mark can be hierarchically expanded to higher-level element marks by invoking the expand code as appropriate. The method also can be used to adjust a stream mark to an element mark.

A socket holding device has a plurality of posts extending from a base. The base may be arranged so that shallow wells are linearly arranged in front of deeper wells with the posts extending from the center of the wells. The posts have arms with a radial bead connected thereto receivable within receivers in the shafts of sockets. A socket may be securely retained to the base thereby preventing undesired disengagement from the well if inverted or “knocked over”, while preferably allowing free rotation of an installed socket thus enabling one to read the sizing information on the exterior surface of the socket. This design is believed to provide an ability to be installed and uninstalled from the post multiple times without a loss of grip function and also preferably requires no secondary motion to remove or release the socket, and can consist of a one-piece design.
