20160004720 | Object-Level Replication of Cloned Objects in a Data Storage System - Object-level replication of cloned objects from a source file system to a target file system in a data storage system maintains relationships between related objects including shared data blocks so that storage requirements in the target file system match storage requirements of the source file system. Specialized processing may be used to scan an indirection object that refers to other file system objects such that objects requiring replication can be identified on an incremental basis based on checkpoint numbers. Checkpoints in the target file system are managed so that checkpoint number requirements for replicated clone objects are enforced in the target file system. | 01-07-2016 |

20120130949 | File Cloning and De-Cloning in a Data Storage System - A file cloning mechanism allows for quickly creating copies (clones) of files within a filesystem, such as when a user makes a copy of a file. In exemplary embodiments, a clone of a source object is at least initially represented by a structure containing references to various elements of the source object (e.g., indirect onodes, direct onodes, and data blocks). Both read-only and mutable clones can be created. The source file and the clone initially share such elements and continue to share unmodified elements as changes are made to the source file or mutable clone. None of the user data blocks or the metadata blocks describing the data stream (i.e., the indirect/direct onodes) associated with the source file need to be copied at the time the clone is created. At appropriate times, cloned files may be “de-cloned.” | 05-24-2012 |

20110179733 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVABLY CONNECTING TRIM TO A WALL OR CEILING OR BOTH - A bracket system is disclosed for allowing conventional trim to be removably connected to a wall or ceiling or both while allowing the bracket system to be concealed behind the trim. The bracket system includes a wall bracket that is attached to the wall or ceiling or both and a trim bracket that is attached to conventional trim. The wall bracket and trim bracket interlock with each other and are held together in secure but removable mating contact. The wall bracket and trim bracket can be pulled apart or pushed together to allow for removal and reinstallation of trim without mechanical modification or destruction of any components. A preferred embodiment of the bracket system includes an insert bracket that is placed inside and concealed within the wall bracket. The insert bracket helps to retain cabling within the wall bracket when the trim bracket is removed or to keep cabling running along the bracket system separated. | 07-28-2011 |
