摘要:
A system for volume replication in a distributed block virtualization environment includes a first and a second set of one or more physical block devices, a first and a second volume server, one or more volume clients, and a replication manager. The first volume server may be configured to aggregate storage in the first set of one or more physical block devices into one or more logical volumes, and to make the one or more logical volumes accessible to the one or more volume clients. The replication manager may be configured to operate in cooperation with the first and second volume servers and the one or more volume clients to maintain a replica of at least a subset of the one or more logical volumes at the second set of one or more physical block devices.

Systems and methods for implementing volume sets in a storage system. According to a first embodiment, a system may include a volume server, a first and a second client computer system, and a plurality of physical block devices. The volume server may be configured to aggregate storage in the plurality of physical block devices into a plurality of logical volumes, wherein a given logical volume includes storage from at least two physical block devices, to distribute a first subset including at least two of the plurality of logical volumes to the first client computer system for input/output as a first volume set configured to be accessed as a single logical device, and to distribute a second subset including at least two of the plurality of logical volumes to the second client computer system for input/output as a second volume set configured to be accessed as a single logical device.
摘要:
A system for optimizing storage operations by operating only on mapped blocks may include a first and a second set of one or more storage devices, a virtual device client and a virtual device server. The virtual device server may be configured to aggregate storage in the first set of one or more storage devices into a virtual storage device, and make the virtual device accessible to the virtual device server. In preparation for a synchronization operation, the virtual device server may obtain a map identifying one or more in-use regions of the virtual storage device from the virtual device client. The virtual device server may then perform the synchronization operation by copying the one or more in-use regions of the virtual storage device to the second set of one or more storage devices.

A rechargeable electrochemical cell charging system is provided having a thermistor that engages the negative cell terminal at a location remote from the negative charge contact. The thermistor outputs temperature data to a controller in the charger that determines the rate of cell temperature increase. When the increase reaches a predetermined predetermined rate, the charge to the cell is discontinued. The cell can also include an air moving system that circulates cool ambient air through battery compartment to cool the batteries being charged.

The present subject matter includes an implantable medical device having a bobbin battery.
摘要:
A method for locating at least one individual located remotely from a broadcast network. An analysis unit compares user profiles, dynamic locations stored in the communicator location database, and/or fixed locations entered into the analysis unit. A data set of at least one matching individualized locatee user profile is generated and the individualized locatee user profile is transmitted to the locator via the locator's communicator device.

A rechargeable electrochemical cell is provided having a pressure-responsive apparatus for determining a charge termination point. In particular, a reversible pressure-responsive switch may be disposed in a cap at the open end of a rechargeable metal hydride cell. The reversible pressure-responsive switch may also contain a vent system for releasing the cell internal pressure. Alternatively, a rechargeable cell may include a strain gauge disposed in its outer surface whose resistance changes as the outer surface of the battery expands due to internal pressure accumulation during charging. Additionally, a rechargeable cell is used combination with a charging source that can supply constant voltage, constant current, alternating current, or voltage that varies between a minimum threshold and a maximum threshold.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for improving the boot sequence of a computer clone. The kernel within an operating system is designed to always access special devices within the computer's memory using a mount path that is hard coded into the kernel for each of the special devices. When the computer is cloned, the special devices are copied to a second computer without the need for subsequent alteration of the filesystem.
