Title: Data storage
Inventor: BOPARDIKAR RAJU C
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: Video data in the form of a plurality of digitised frames, is stored on a plurality of magnetic disks. Each image frame is striped across a plurality of disks and redundant parity information, derived from the stripes, is written to an additional disk. Disk failure is detected and in response to this detection missing data is regenerated from the parity information. This allows the transfer of video data in real time to be maintained for output so that the system remains operational. While data is being read in real time, derived from regenerated data, the regenerated data is written to an operational disk, thereby reprotecting the data in the event of a subsequent failure. Frame supplied to output are labelled as being protected or unprotected and application programs may respond to this status information as considered appropriate.

Inventor: BUSA WILLIAM BRIAN
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: Methods and system for automated inference of physico-chemical interaction knowledge from databases of term co-occurrence data. The co-occurrence data includes co-occurrences between chemical or biological molecules or co-occurrences between chemical or biological molecules and biological processes.  Likelihood statistics are determined and applied to decide if co-occurrence data reflecting physico-chemical interactions is non-trivial. A next node or an unknown target representing chemical or biological molecules in a biological pathway is selected based on co-occurrence values. The method and system may be used to further facilitate a user's understanding of biological functions, such as cell functions, to design experiments more intelligently and to analyze experimental results more thoroughly. Specifically, the present invention may help drug discovery scientists select better targets for pharmaceutical intervention in the hope of curing diseases. The method and system may also help facilitate the abstraction of knowledge from information for biological experimental data and provide new bioinformatic techniques.
