20090295191 | Drive for Moving a Wind Deflector on a Cabriolet - A drive for moving a lamella of a wind deflector is provided. The drive includes at least one coupling mechanism by which the lamella can be adjusted from a non-use position into a use position and vice versa. The mechanism is articulatedly connected at one end to the lamella and at the other end to the roof frame. The coupling mechanism is designed as a crank-rocker mechanism which raises the lamella away from the roof frame into the use position, and lowers the lamella onto the roof frame into the non-use position, in a substantially parallel fashion. | 12-03-2009 |
20100164254 | DEVICE FOR GUIDING THE MOVEMENT OF A WIND DEFLECTOR - A device is provided for guiding a movement of a bar-type wind deflector in relation to a roof frame in a region between a position of use and a position of non-use, especially on a cabriolet. At least one pair of rotary levers is provided on the wind deflector. The rotary levers are mounted on the wind deflector at a first rotary lever end such that they can rotate about a first rotational axis, and on the roof frame at a second rotary lever end such that they can rotate about a second rotational axis, the rotational axes being parallel to each other. The rotary levers of each pair are staggered in relation to each other at least in the direction of a normal of one of the rotational axes. The rotational axes of each pair form the vertexes of a parallelogram. | 07-01-2010 |
20150203048 | Device for Arranging a Reflective-Vest Device on a Side Door of a Motor Vehicle - A device to arrange a high-visibility vest device, enclosing a high visibility vest at least in sections, to the side door of a motor vehicle includes fixing elements provided on the door and the vest device that interact with each other so that the vest device is moveable into and out of operative engagement with the door side fixing element. | 07-23-2015 |

20140188813 | Fast Object Fingerprints - An embodiment computing device operating in a data storage system includes an object storage controller operable to divide an object into blocks and to create an object hash from hash values, and a network interface in communication with the object storage controller, the network interface operable to transmit the blocks to a storage subsystem that generates one of the hash values from each of the blocks, to receive the hash values from the storage subsystem, and to provide the hash values to the object storage controller for creation of the object hash from the hash values. In an embodiment, the object storage controller is operably coupled to a processor and a memory or stored on a computer readable medium. | 07-03-2014 |
20140214782 | Distributed Storage Object Delete - System and methods for storage object distribution using dynamic policy controls are provided. An embodiment method deleting an object in a distributed storage system includes receiving, from a client, a delete request for an object, retrieving, by a primary datacenter, an object metadata list corresponding to the object to be deleted, and inserting, by the primary datacenter, a delete marker on a top of a stack data structure in an object metadata list. | 07-31-2014 |
20140215170 | Block Compression in a Key/Value Store - System and method embodiments are provided for improving the performance of data compression for storage systems. The embodiments enable selectively compressing data for storage on a block by block basis to save resources and computation time and cost. The system and method also handle the compression of different types of data blocks using different targeted algorithms. In an embodiment, a method for compressing data in a storage system includes receiving one or more data blocks for storage, determining whether to compress one or more data blocks according to attributes of the one or more data blocks, upon determining to compress a data block from the one or more data blocks, compressing the data block, and storing the compressed data block. The attributes include at least one of a name of the data block, a file type of the data block, and information in the data block. | 07-31-2014 |
20140280765 | Self-Organizing Disk (SoD) - System and methods for storage object distribution using a universal distributed storage (UDS) system. An embodiment UDS includes server nodes and a header server in communication with the server nodes. The header server is configured to divide an object received from a client into chunks, to assign a key to each of the chunks, to calculate a hash value for each of the keys to identify which of the server nodes will store each of the chunks, and to instruct one of the server nodes to store each of the chunks in accordance with the hash value calculated. In an embodiment, the server nodes include a single central processing unit, a single storage device, a primary network interface, and a redundant network interface. | 09-18-2014 |
20150331902 | Distributed Storage Object Delete - System and methods for storage object distribution using dynamic policy controls are provided. An embodiment method deleting an object in a distributed storage system includes receiving, from a client, a delete request for an object, retrieving, by a primary datacenter, an object metadata list corresponding to the object to be deleted, and inserting, by the primary datacenter, a delete marker on a top of a stack data structure in an object metadata list. | 11-19-2015 |
