20120191769	SITE-AWARE DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM ACCESS FROM OUTSIDE ENTERPRISE NETWORK - Embodiments are directed to permitting client devices that connect remotely to an enterprise network to operate in a site-aware manner. In distributed file systems, files may be replicated in multiple places across a network. Embodiments are directed to providing requesting clients referrals (or paths) to replicas of desired information that are accessible by the requesting client with the least overall “cost” to the client and the network. The present systems and methods allow remote client devices to reliably identify a site with their referral requests so that the referring server(s) may provide site-aware referrals in response to the requests.	07-26-2012
20140089278	Integrated Data Retention Policy for Solid State & Asymmetric Access - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a method and system for storing content based on one or more attributes associated with the content. Specifically, the present disclosure provides for determining storage capabilities of one or more storage devices associated with a computing device and also determining a retention policy associated with the content. In certain embodiments, the retention policy is identified by the one or more attributes. When the retention policy and the capabilities of the one or more storage devices have been determined, the content is written to the one or more storage devices based on the retention policy.	03-27-2014

20100185587	DATA MOVEMENT WITH REDUCED SERVICE OUTAGE - A data movement system is described herein that allows an administrator to cause data to be moved from one server to another with little or no service outage and in an amount of time that is proportional to the overall size of the data being moved rather than the way the data is organized. The system uses virtual hard drive technology to encapsulate the file system of a share within a single file of a host file system to allow snapshots taken at the volume level to avoid data unrelated to the share and to allow block level copy operations. The system also uses a motion process that includes steadily converging snapshots to copy data without interrupting access to the source location. The system provides tombstone notifications to clients that attempt to access the data at the source location after the data has moved.	07-22-2010
20130067095	SMB2 SCALEOUT - Systems and methods are disclosed for clients and servers operating in a scaled cluster environment. Efficiencies are introduced to the process of connecting a client to a clustered environment by providing the client with the ability to attempt a connection with multiple servers in parallel. Servers operating the in the clustered environment are also capable of providing persistent storage of file handles and other state information. Ownership of the state information and persistent handles may be transferred between servers, thereby providing clients with the opportunity to move from one server to another while maintaining access to resources in the clustered environment.	03-14-2013

20090006468	EFFICIENT UPDATES FOR DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEMS - A directory services implementation is provided to associate distributed file system (DFS) links with individual directory objects, and metadata to attributes thereof, to allow leveraging directory services features for DFS for a given namespace. For example, updating directory objects with modified metadata related to DFS links requires only that the directory object related to the link be updated rather than an entire directory object related to the corresponding namespace. Moreover, directory services functionalities such as querying can be utilized with DFS to provide efficient location of updated records. In this regard, efficient replication of DFS throughout a network is facilitated.	01-01-2009
20120072400	DIRECTORY OPLOCK - Current file systems may implement opportunistic locks on files that allow clients to locally cache file data, while promoting data consistency when multiple clients read/write the same file. Unfortunately, when a client locally caches directory content of a directory, the file system may lack a mechanism for notifying the client of changes to the directory that would render the cached directory content “stale”. Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for managing a directory oplock are disclosed herein. A directory oplock may be generated based upon an oplock request comprising a first target key and a first parent key. Subsequent access requests for access to the directory or objects therein may be compared with the directory oplock to determine whether to break the directory oplock, and notify the client (e.g., directory oplock is broken if the client submitting the access request is different than the client owning the directory oplock).	03-22-2012
20130007518	TRANSPARENT FAILOVER - Described are embodiments directed at persistent handles that are used to retain state across network failures and server failovers. Persistent handles are requested by a client after a session has been established with a file server. The request for the persistent handle includes a handle identifier generated by the client. The server uses the handle identifier to associate with state information. When there is a network failure or a server failover, and a reconnection to the client, the handle identifier is used to identify replayed requests that if replayed would create an inconsistent state on the server. The replayed requests are then appropriately handled.	01-03-2013
20140372521	TRANSPARENT FAILOVER - Described are embodiments directed at persistent handles that are used to retain state across network failures and server failovers. Persistent handles are requested by a client after a session has been established with a file server. The request for the persistent handle includes a handle identifier generated by the client. The server uses the handle identifier to associate with state information. When there is a network failure or a server failover, and a reconnection to the client, the handle identifier is used to identify replayed requests that if replayed would create an inconsistent state on the server. The replayed requests are then appropriately handled.	12-18-2014

20120137924	Trolley Braking System - A trolley for transporting the rider supported by a harness on a cable or rope, the trolley having a mounting plate configured with a connection point to receive the rider's harness, a pulley rotatably mounted to the mounting plate to support the plate on the cable or rope, and a friction shoe mounted on the plate forward of the pulley to contact the upper portion of the cable or rope, wherein the connection point is located beneath the cable or rope between the centers of the pulley and the friction shoe. The apparatus may also provide a manually operated brake handle to allow the rider to selectively apply braking force to reduce the speed of the trolley on the cable as desired.	06-07-2012
20120279106	Reduced lethality gun - A gun that has a plurality of frangible barrels. At the proximal end of each barrel is a chamber that receives a cartridge. The cartridge has a reduced charge as compared to a conventional cartridge. Each barrel may have an inner sleeve formed from a malleable material. The out member of each barrel is comprised of a rigid material such as, but not limited to, a filled plastic. The inner sleeve is rigid enough to withstand the pressure of the reduced charge cartridge when fired, but is malleable enough to expand from the pressure generated by a standard charge cartridge. When the inner sleeve expands, the outer member fragments and destroys the weapon. The expansion of the inner sleeve and fragmentation of the outer member upon firing a standard charge reduces the propelling force in the bullet. As a result, the weapon is destroyed and the bullet is fired with a greatly reduced force. The barrels on the gun don not rotate. The hammer is mounted in a revolving mechanism that is rotated in a circular path from one barrel to the next when the trigger is pulled. Pulling the trigger also compresses and then releases a revolving member that forces the hammer into contact with one of the firing pins.	11-08-2012
