The amount of electronic data to be reproduced is determined and sequentially read. The read electronic data is transmitted to the target storage device by performing a sequential write operation. The user can examine the transmitted electronic data during the transmission. If an interruption occurs, the electronic data is analyzed and the user selectively resumes the transmission. In the absence of the source storage device, the target storage device is configured in a read only mode for providing read only access to the electronic data present on the target storage device."

EMC Assigned Patent for Techniques for Producing a Consistent Copy of Source Data at a Target Location
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 9 -- EMC, Hopkinton, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,176,276) developed by Kenneth J. Galipeau, Rockaway, N.J., Robert K. Kast, Succasunna, N.J., and Eran Orgad, Lexington, Mass., for "techniques for producing a consistent copy of source data at a target location."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Described area system and computer program product for producing a point in time copy of source data. A set of records corresponding to a time ordered series of recorded file operations as applied to said source data is received. The set of records includes one or more consistency point markers, each consistency point marker indicating a point in time at which said source data is in a consistent state when a portion of said recorded file operations occurring up to said point in time is applied to said source data. The recorded file operations corresponding to said set of records are applied to said copy of the source data until a marker record corresponding to a consistency point marker is determined. Also described is a target system for producing a point in time copy of source data including a data storage device including said copy of source data and a replication service."
The patent application was filed on Aug. 15, 2011 (13/209,533). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,176,276&OS=8,176,276&RS=8,176,276

NEC Laboratories America Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 9 -- NEC Laboratories America, Princeton, N.J., has been assigned a patent (8,176,381) developed by Ivan B. Djordjevic, Tucson, Ariz., Lei Xu, Princeton, N.J., and Ting Wang, West Windsor, N.J., for a "multidimensional turbo product codes and generalized low-density parity-check codes with component reed-solomon codes for optical transmission."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A transmitter, a receiver, and corresponding methods are provided. The transmitter includes encoders configured to encode source bit streams from L information sources into bytes of codewords. Each encoder includes different (n, k) multidimensional turbo-product codes of code rate R=k/n, where k is a number of information bytes, and n is code word length. The encoders operate in at least two phases. A first phase involves operating k.sub.y column-encoders in parallel on k.sub.x bytes per column to generate the code words for a current dimension. A second phase involves operating n.sub.x row-encoders in parallel on k.sub.y memory locations per rows to generate the code words for the current dimension. The first and second phases are repeated for remaining layers of the current dimension and layers of other dimensions."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 25, 2009 (12/392,374). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,176,381&OS=8,176,381&RS=8,176,381

Comm Vault Systems Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 9 -- Comm Vault Systems, Oceanport, N.J., has been assigned a patent (8,176,268) developed by six co-inventors for "systems and methods for performing storage operations in a computer network." The co-inventors are Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Ocean, N.J., Parag Gokhale, Ocean, N.J., Anand Prahlad, East Brunswick, N.J., Manoj Kumar, Marlboro, N.J., David Ngo, Shrewsbury, N.J., and Varghese Devassy, Winnipeg, Canada.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods and systems are described for performing storage operations on electronic data in a network. In response to the initiation of a storage operation and according to a first set of selection logic, a media management component is selected to manage the storage operation. In response to the initiation of a storage operation and according to a second set of selection logic, a network storage device to associate with the storage operation. The selected media management component and the selected network storage device perform the storage operation on the electronic data."
The patent application was filed on June 10, 2010 (12/813,398). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,176,268&OS=8,176,268&RS=8,176,268
