20130008717 | SOLID STATE WEAR TRACERS FOR DRILL BITS - A method and apparatus for providing a reliable signal to the operator while drilling when a bit or tool becomes worn or damaged to a predetermined extent. The approach, in an exemplary embodiment, is to integrate one or more wear tracer elements into one or more parts of a drill bit or downhole tool that do not engage the earthen formation until the predetermined wear or damage occurs. At that time wear tracer elements are released upon wearing of the bit body, cutters, inserts, nozzles, or other components that include the wear tracer elements and enter the drill fluid. The presence of wear tracer elements in drilling fluid can be detected at the surface directly, or indirectly as a result of, for example, one or more reactions between the wear tracer elements and the mud, formation, or other subterranean elements, which yield some compound that may then be reliably detected. | 01-10-2013 |

20100250666 | APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR PROCESSING HTTP REQUESTS - Various embodiments of the invention are directed to closely integrating functionality between an internet server and a WebDAV tool. Areas of specific focus in this document include delegation of duties between the internet server and the WebDAV tool, efficient management of a resource's content-type, support for segregation of a namespace into separate virtual roots, and determinations of whether to invoke certain processing extensions to handle requests for a given HTTP verb. | 09-30-2010 |
20100281136 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PREPARING EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE (XML) DOCUMENTS AND FOR RESPONDING TO XML REQUESTS - Methods and systems for generating and sending an XML document are described. In a specific implementation, methods and systems for responding to an XML client request are described. In the described embodiment, an XML response generator is provided. The XML response generator responds to a client request without having to first build and save a hierarchical tree structure in memory that represents the response. The response generator includes one or more request method objects. There is one object for each particular type of client request that might be received. Each request method object knows and gathers the data that is needed to respond to its particular associated client request. In addition, the request method object knows a particular order that the information must be provided. An emitter object is provided and receives calls from the request method object. The calls include the data that is gathered by the request method object. The calls are made in a particular order and ensure that the hierarchical nature of the response that is being built is preserved. The emitter object translates the data that it receives into response portions that are in proper XML syntactic form. A body object is provided and manages a buffer. The body object receives calls from the emitter object that include the properly-formatted XML response portions. The response portions are placed in the buffer. When a defined buffer threshold is reached, the buffered response portions are sent to the client. | 11-04-2010 |
20110093597 | Method and System for Supporting Off-Line Mode of Operation and Synchronization - Systems and methods for synchronizing multiple copies of data in a network environment that includes servers and clients so that incremental changes made to one copy of the data can be identified, transferred, and incorporated into all other copies of the data. The synchronization can be accomplished regardless of whether modifications to the data have been made by a client while the client is in an on-line or off-line mode of operation. The clients cache data locally as data are modified and downloaded. The caching enables the clients to access the data and allows the synchronization to be performed without transmitting a particular version more than once between a client and a server. Such elimination of redundant data transmission results in an efficient use of time and network bandwidth. | 04-21-2011 |

20150127620 | OBJECT LOSS REPORTING IN A DATA STORAGE SYSTEM - In response to receiving a request from a client to store an object, a key-durable storage system may assign the object to a volume in its data store, generate a key for the object (e.g., an opaque identifier that encodes information for locating the object in the data store), store the object on one disk in the assigned volume, store the key redundantly in the assigned volume (e.g., using a replication or erasure coding technique), and may return the key to the client. To retrieve the object, the client may send a request including the key, and the system may return the object to the client. If a disk fails, the system may determine which objects were lost, and may return the corresponding keys to the appropriate clients in a notification. The system may be used to back up a more expensive object-redundant storage system. | 05-07-2015 |

20100183148 | RECORDING KEYS IN A BROADCAST-ENCRYPTION-BASED SYSTEM - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for protecting content in a broadcast-encryption-based system, where the devices in the system receive a recording key table. Each device generates a set of recording keys from the recording key table using a media key variant calculated from the broadcast encryption system's media key block. The digital content is encrypted in a title key picked by the recorder. The selected title key is also encrypted in each one of the recorder's generated recording keys. To play back the content, a player uses one of its generated recording keys to decrypt the title key and the decrypt the content. The recording key table is designed so that any two devices are guaranteed to have at least one key in common during normal operation, although during a forensic situation, this rule can be abandoned. | 07-22-2010 |
