Abstract: A system and method for remote asynchronous replication or mirroring of changes in a source file system snapshot in a destination replica file system using a scan (via a scanner) of the blocks that make up two versions of a snapshot of the source file system, which identifies changed blocks in the respective snapshot files based upon differences in volume block numbers identified in a scan of the logical file block index of each snapshot. Trees of blocks associated with the files are traversed, bypassing unchanged pointers between versions and walking down to identify the changes in the hierarchy of the tree. These changes are transmitted to the destination mirror or replicated snapshot. This technique allows regular files, directories, inodes and any other hierarchical structure to be efficiently scanned to determine differences between versions thereof. The changes in the files and directories are transmitted over the network for update of the replicated destination snapshot in an asynchronous (lazy write) manner. The changes are described in an extensible, system-independent data stream format layered under a network transport protocol. At the destination, source changes are used to update the destination snapshot. Any deleted or modified inodes already on the destination are moved to a temporary or "purgatory" directory and, if reused, are relinked to the rebuilt replicated snapshot directory. The source file system snapshots can be representative of a volume sub-organization, such as a qtree. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a system for forming slider end stops
(24,26) on a zipper tape (12) that comprises first and
second interlockable zipper parts (24). The method
comprises the following steps: (a) transmitting sufficient
ultrasonic wave energy into first and second areas of the
zipper tape (12) to cause the first and second interlocked
zipper parts (24) to deform and fuse in the first and
second areas (28,30), the first and second areas (28,30)
being separated by a gap; and (b) applying sufficient heat
and pressure onto a third area (31) of the zipper tape to
cause the interlocked zipper parts to deform and fuse in
the third area (31), at least part of the third area being
located between the first and second areas (28,30) in the
gap. The first and second areas (28,30) do not impinge upon
the zipper rails (88,90). The third area (31) does impinge
upon the zipper rails (88,90). Thus the zipper rails are
deformed in the third area (31), but not in adjacent areas
located below and contiguous with the first and second
areas (28,30). The zipper tape (12) and packaging film (16)
are cut along a midline (32) of the third area to sever
each package (10) from the continuous web.

Abstract: A system is provided that facilitates synchronizing sensory stimuli with operations associated with a user interface (UI) of a computer system. Upon receiving a sensory stimulus, the system analyzes the sensory stimulus to determine a pattern of events within the sensory stimulus. When a pattern of events has been determined, the system synchronizes a secondary sensory stimulus generated by the UI with the pattern of events. Note that this pattern of events can include, but is not limited to, a beat or a rhythm of an audio signal, mouse movements, window operations, and key clicks.

Abstract: High-speed signaling pins are often at a premium in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
and minimizing the number of high-speed signals crossing a midplane is desirable to simplify
system design and improve reliability. The method disclosed herein provides a more pin-efficient
high-speed data path interface with per-queue backpressure signaling than what is
available in prior art, leading to reduced system design and manufacturing costs and improved
performance. The invention improves upon an industry standard protocol, the SPI 4.2
protocol, for high speed data transmission between switching system components by adding
advanced functionality from a widely supported standards proposal, the CSIX level 2. In doing
so, the invention offers a hybrid of the two interfaces that is more pin-efficient than either of
them.

Abstract: In an image decoder, anticipated battery energy to be consumed is obtained from consumed battery energy when motion picture data is placed for a predetermined time. In case the anticipated battery energy to be consumed is more than a current remaining battery energy, a playing quality is deteriorated to play the motion picture data to the last. Further, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled on the basis of the number of frames that can be displayed during a unit time. Thus, in case there is enough power for processing in a CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is improved. In case there is not enough power for processing in the CPU, the playing quality of the motion picture data is deteriorated to complete a decoding process within the unit time. Thus, the playing quality of the motion picture data is dynamically controlled in accordance with the CPU frequency or the remaining battery time.
