20140143207 | MANAGING REPLICATED DATA - An approach for managing replicated data is presented. Metadata is received specifying inter-data correlation(s), inter-replica correlation(s), and data-replica correlation(s) among replicas generated for a system. A unified replication metadata model specifying the correlations is generated. Based on the inter-replica correlation(s), a proper subset of the replicas is selected. Based on the inter-replica and inter-data correlation(s), the selected proper subset of replicas is indexed to generate a unified content index. A query is received to locate a data item in at least one of the replicas. Based on the unified content index, the unified replication metadata model, and the query, candidate replica(s) and corresponding confidence score(s) are determined. The confidence score(s) indicate respective likelihood(s) that the candidate replica(s) include the data item. | 05-22-2014 |
20150081641 | BACKING UP A COMPUTER APPLICATION - A method and associated systems for backing up a target computer application that comprises identifying and backing up databases and other information repositories upon which the target application depends. The target application is identified and related to a backup requirement that specifies a minimum application-backup frequency. The application's “dependencies” are automatically identified from sources that include configuration files, where each dependency identifies one or more databases or other information repositories that store information upon which the application directly or indirectly depends. If any of these databases or repositories is associated with a backup frequency less than the application's minimum backup frequency, the database or repository is flagged. Each flagged entity's backup schedule is then revised so that the flagged entity's backup frequency is equal to or greater than the application's minimum backup frequency. | 03-19-2015 |

20080236464 | SELF-ADJUSTING CAM FOLLOWER BRACKET FOR TUFTING MACHINE - The present invention provides a cam follower bracket that is used in conjunction with textile tufting machines. Typically, the present invention is used with shifting tufting machines used to produce carpet and rugs. The cam follower bracket utilizes a floating lug design that self-regulates the amount of pressure that the cam follower bearings apply against the shifter block of the tufting machine. Because the bracket is able to self-regulate the pressure, the bracket generally lasts longer and does not need to be periodically monitored and/or tightened. Therefore, less user interaction is required and less machine downtime is needed when operating a tufting machine utilizing a bracket according to the present invention in comparison with known cam follower brackets. | 10-02-2008 |

20100081209 | PIPETTE TIPS FOR EXTRACTION, SAMPLE COLLECTION AND SAMPLE CLEANUP AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE - The present invention is a pipette tip device for extraction of liquid, semi-solid or solid solutions to be chemically analyzed and the methods for their use. The pipette tip extraction device contains a screen or filter at its lower narrow end to contain solid particulate matter and a barrier at its upper wide end. The optional upper frit is to be made of material that permits liquid solutions to flow through it. In addition to the barrier and screen, the pipette tip extraction device may contain solid-phase sorbent. Through the use of a removable cap, the pipette extraction tip may also serve as a sample collection container or tip in which samples can be delivered to the top of the tip (e.g., for direct collection of samples, including solid samples). A new method for DPX extraction using liquid-liquid-solid-phase extraction is also disclosed. | 04-01-2010 |
