| 20080215646 | EXTENSIBLE FILE SYSTEM - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080215647 | NAMING PROTOCOL FOR EXTENSIBLE FILE SYSTEMS - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080232210 | Data Recording/Reproduction for Write-Once Discs - A file system is enabled to use a Metadata Partition instead of VAT for write-once discs, and is provided by a pseudo-overwrite method with a plurality of tracks especially for metadata and file data. On applying this invention to a drive apparatus that supports pseudo-overwrite media, the file system distinguishes data to overwrite from data to append (S | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080310289 | Data Recording/Reproduction for Write-Once Discs - A recording method of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a write instruction which specifies at least a logical sector in which data is to be written; determining whether the logical sector specified by the write instruction corresponds to a recorded physical sector or an unrecorded physical sector (S | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090157770 | Live Volume Access - This document describes tools capable of enabling an entity requiring exclusive access to data and metadata of a volume to have that exclusive access while also permitting another entity to have access to data and metadata of that volume. The tools, for example, may permit a ChkDsk program to detect and correct data/metadata integrity errors while permitting users to maintain access to a live volume having that data and metadata. In one embodiment the tools create a copy of a logical volume, permit exclusive access to the copy while permitting access to the live volume, and, when the exclusive access is no longer needed, merge the copy and the live volume. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090164440 | QUICK FILENAME LOOKUP USING NAME HASH - File system methods and systems enabling efficient detection that a filename exists, by executing a hash function on the file name to reduce the overall computational complexity of determining that a directory entry might match the target filename, prior to performing the string comparison to determine the entry does match the target filename. A cross-device extensible means of providing a conversion function, such as uppercasing the filename, occurs prior to the hash. Methods of creating, deleting, and modifying the directory entries is further provided, as well as details of an embodiment of the file system described. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090164539 | CONTIGUOUS FILE ALLOCATION IN AN EXTENSIBLE FILE SYSTEM - Disclosed is a method for creating and reading a contiguous file in an extensible file system. During the creation of a file on the storage media, the file system format check the bitmap to determine if there are areas of free space on the media that would permit the storage of the file in a contiguous manner. By storing the file in a contiguous manner the file may later be read without resorting to the file allocation table, because the file itself would not be fragmented on the storage media. Once an area of free space has been identified, the file is written to the media in a contiguous manner. Further, an associated entry for the file in the directory entry is updated or created to indicate that the file is a contiguous file and also provides basic parameters necessary to read the file without resorting to accessing the file allocation table. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090265400 | EXTENSIBLE FILE SYSTEM - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100093317 | Targeted Advertisements to Social Contacts - Targeted advertisements to social contacts is described. In embodiment(s), social contacts can be correlated based on messaging interactions between mobile communication devices that are associated with the social contacts. Feedback about an advertisement can be received from mobile communication devices that are associated with the social contacts, and the advertisement can then be targeted to one or more of the social contacts based on the feedback about the advertisement. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110113077 | Extending Cluster Allocations In An Extensible File System - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. The directory entry types can define whether a cluster chain corresponding to a file can be contiguously allocated. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110113078 | Extending Cluster Allocations In An Extensible File System - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. The directory entry types can define whether a cluster chain corresponding to a file can be contiguously allocated. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110252076 | EXTENDING CLUSTER ALLOCATIONS IN AN EXTENSIBLE FILE SYSTEM - An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries. The directory entry types can define whether a cluster chain corresponding to a file can be contiguously allocated. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20130080485 | QUICK FILENAME LOOKUP USING NAME HASH - A method of updating a file record on at least one of a first one or more computer readable storage media including writing at least three contiguous DirectoryEntry data structures corresponding to a directory entry set, the directory entry set corresponding to a file, the writing occurring to the at least one of a first one or more computer readable storage media. | 03-28-2013 |
| 20130139182 | Integrating An Application Into Operating System Components Of A Mobile Computing Platform - The subject disclosure is directed towards integrating an application into an operating system component of a mobile computing platform. The application communicates registration information to an extension mechanism within the mobile computing platform. The extension mechanism registers the application and modifies the operating system component to provide interoperability with the application based on the registration information. The extension mechanism couples the operating system component with content from a counterpart application to the application, which corresponds to information presented on the operating system component. | 05-30-2013 |
