Furthermore, receptor binding forces are quantified, in particular exploiting calibrated lateral tip forces. Finally, the method for standardizing the effective sample temperature on a small spatial scale via in-situ detecting by AFM the in particular 2-dimensional crystallization parameters of nanoparticles can be applied as a spin-off application for repairing materials like glass windows.

Title: Method and apparatus for efficiently restoring data from a sequential-access backup archive
Inventor: GENSLER JR ROBERT STANLEY
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2010-08-31
Abstract: A method for efficiently restoring data from a sequential-access backup archive includes receiving a candidate list identifying data sets that are potentially contained within a sequential-access backup archive. The method further receives a filter list identifying data sets that are desired to be restored from the backup archive. Using the candidate list and filter list, the method generates a search list identifying data sets that are to be ignored when searching the backup archive. The method then sequentially performs multiple searches of the backup archive such that the multiple searches collectively perform a single pass through the backup archive. When performing these searches, each search begins from the last accessed portion of the backup archive and stops upon encountering a data set not explicitly ignored by the search list. A corresponding system, apparatus, and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

Title: Copy-on-write operation for solid state drives
Inventor: JONES CARL EVAN
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2012-08-06
Abstract: Increasing the efficiency of a "copy-on-write" operation performed on a solid state drive to extend the life of the solid state disk. For example by receiving a first logical address specifying a logical location where new data should be written to an SSD. The first logical address maps to a first physical location, storing original data, on the SSD. The method further receives a second logical address specifying a logical location where the original data should be available on the SSD. The second logical address maps to a second physical location on the SSD. To efficiently perform the copy-on-write operation, the method writes the new data to a new physical location on the SSD, maps the first logical address to the new physical location, and maps the second logical address to the first. The wear leveling algorithm may select the new location.
