20130157640 | Safe Vehicular Phone Usage - The present invention discloses a system comprising a vehicular unit and a cellular phone application, which, after a series of digital security confirmations, communicate freely. Using the application to start the automobile notifies the phone that the cellular user is the driver. When this information is conveyed along with velocity information from the vehicular unit, the application will proceed to restrict access to the phone. As such, the phone will perform a predetermined number of actions ranging from complete cellular communication disablement to activation of a hands-free communication mode. Upon stopping the vehicle, full phone functionality will resume. The phone could also act as an interface with the vehicle allowing method for locking and unlocking doors, opening and closing windows, and engaging the vehicular alarm remotely. | 06-20-2013 |

The IHS includes: a non-overwriting storage device, a module for determining a set of bands per non-overwriting storage device, multiple pools of storage space commensurate with the determined set of bands and a file system configured to be non-WIP and configured to manage the multiple pools of storage space. The file system writes data to the multiple pools of storage space. | 05-22-2014 |
20140365428 | Updating Object Attributes in a Lock-Coupled Namespace Traversal - A deferred mechanism of rolling attribute changes to objects at transaction commit time is described. To support rolling updates, attributes are categorized into three types—increment, decrement or replace. Since transactions are committed in order, the update process uses a notification list of dependent transactions to propagate attribute changes as a function of attribute category or type. Shadow based file-systems (with or without object versioning) realize efficiency gains by employing the deferred mechanism. | 12-11-2014 |

20100240246 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH A LIGHT INDICATIVE OF A CONNECTOR STATUS - A connector assembly includes a housing, a light source located within the housing, and a cover element covering at least a portion of a mating face of the housing. The housing includes a connector that is arranged to electrically mate with a peripheral connector proximate to the mating face of the housing. The light source generates light directed toward the mating face of the housing to indicate a status of the connector. The cover element includes a light transmissive area that is positioned to receive the light generated by the light source and transmit the light outward from the mating face in order to indicate the status of the connector. | 09-23-2010 |
