Abstract: An apparatus and method for connecting a plurality of computing devices, e.g. web servers, database servers, etc., to a plurality of storage devices, such as disks, disk arrays, tapes, etc., by using a stream-oriented (circuit oriented) switch that has high throughput, but that requires non-negligible time for reconfiguration is disclosed. An example of such stream-oriented switch is an optical switch. The preferred embodiment comprises a plurality of communication ports for connection to servers, and a plurality of ports for connection to storage devices. The system decodes the requests from the computing devices and uses this information to create circuits, e.g. optical paths in embodiments where the stream-oriented switch is an optical switch, through the stream-oriented switch. The system uses these circuits to route traffic between the computing devices and the storage devices. Buffering of data and control in the device memory is used to improve overall throughput and reduce the time spent on reconfigurations. An alternative embodiment of the system uses two interconnects, in which all devices are connected to one or both interconnects. One of the interconnects is the stream-oriented switch described above. The second interconnect is a conventional packet switch which can switch traffic on a packet-by-packet basis, e.g. electronic packet switch. In contrast to the stream-oriented switch, the packet switch has much smaller overall throughput, but requires much less time for reconfiguration. The stream-oriented switch is used for switching relatively large data streams, e.g. reading a large file, while the packet switch is used for control and the rest of the data traffic.

Abstract: The presently preferred embodiment of the invention provides an encryption based security system for network storage that separates the ability to access storage from the ability to access the stored data. This is achieved by keeping all the data encrypted on the storage devices. Logically, the invention comprises a device that has two network interfaces: one is a clear text network interface that connects to one or more clients, and the other is a secure network interface that is connected to one or more persistent storage servers. Functionally, each network interface supports multiple network nodes. That is, the clear text network interface supports multiple client machines, and the secure network interface supports one or more storage servers.

Abstract: A system and method comprises receiving a write request from a client to store data at first and second non-sequential locations of a storage medium. The data of the write request is recognized as not being a predefined data pattern, and a first encryption method is applied to the data of the write request before it is stored at the first and second non-sequential locations of the storage medium. Further, a second different encryption method is applied to content of an area between the first and second non-sequential locations, where the content of the area is recognized as being the predefined pattern.

Abstract: A transmitter pen location system is provided, in which a pen is adapted to send a repeated output signal to external receivers at two or more receiver locations, wherein the location of the pointing tip of the pen is determined in relation to the writing surface of a whiteboard. In one embodiment an output element, preferably an ultrasonic transducer, transmits a time dependent output signal from a single signal transmitter pen to two or more external receivers at two or more receiver locations. The direction of arrival of the output signal to each of the receiver locations is determined, and the pointing tip of the single transmitter pen is then determined, as the intersection of direction vectors from the pen to the external receivers. In another embodiment, the transducer transmits a time dependent output signal from the transmitter pen to three or more external receivers, wherein the received signal is processed to determine the time of arrival to each of the receivers, and the location of the pointing tip of the pen is determined as the calculated distance between the receivers. In another alternate embodiment having a dual signal transmitter pen, a third receiver located at a receiver location is used to determine the time of arrival of a secondary output signal, to determine the distance between the dual signal transmitter pen and the receiver location, while two or more receivers at the receiver location are used to determine the direction of arrival of the primary time dependent output signal. Alternative embodiments allow the transmission of supplementary information from the transmitter pen to the receivers, using waveshaping of the output signal.
