Abstract: The use of time-lapsed NMR diffusivity measurements in an observation well is disclosed. The observation well is cased in the zone of interest with non-magnetic and non-conductive casing that is invisible to the NMR tool. Second, because NMR measurements have a dead zone in front of the antenna depending on the spatial variation of the fixed magnet strength, for example about 2.7 inches, a distance between the casing and the formation is reduced to less than the dead zone length by drilling the observation well at small deviation of about 5° and running the casing without centralizers. Both the casing and the pad-type NMR tool will follow the low side of the borehole, ensuring the measurement volume of the NMR tool is inside the formation and beyond the annulus. With the appropriate observation well completion, time-lapse diffusivity measurements with pad-type NMR tools can address several shortcomings in the current practice of monitoring EOR processes that rely upon changes in density and hydrogen index (HI). Various uses of NMR imaging in wells cased with non-metallic casing are also disclosed.

Abstract: Real time purification of contaminated common air is an unsolved consumer health problem inside residences and the workplace, and outside air pollution by industry and transportation. Currently popular consumer grade electrostatic air filters accumulate suspended contaminants onto accumulation plates which require subsequent disposal or cleaning of the highly concentrated contaminates, a maintenance requirement that creates new jeopardy to consumer health. Disclosed are a method and apparatus with several embodiments that structurally eradicate suspended particulates after they have been electrostatically migrated to a hollow, activated dismantling rod. The dismantling rod is typically composed of a durable, UV transmitting material, such as tetrafluoroethylene, or a current carrying metal mesh coated with tetrafluoroethylene, and further over-coated with active photocatalytic material that is energized to create on its surface powerful dismantling agents, including hydroxyl radicals, from natural ambient air elements. Microorganisms, smoke particles, industrial pollutants, odor molecules, and allergens are structurally dissociated into harmless protein fragments and natural molecules when they encounter the dismantling grid purifying agents. The decontamination phenomenon is amplified by imparting, or enhancing, either a negative or positive electrostatic charge to the suspended particles, as they enter the device, and using that to migrate the particles to the activated dismantling rod containing an internal, oppositely charged attraction screen. The method can be used to eradicate particles, including lethal pathogens, that may have a naturally occurring negative, positive, or electroneutral charge. Both contaminants and suspended water molecules are drawn to the dismantling rod in this manner, providing an enhanced supply of raw material from which the decontaminating agents are created. Any trace amounts of ozone molecules produced during the process are also attracted and dissociated back to oxygen within the device. The permanent photocatalytic coating does not require renewal or cleaning, and is designed to use UV energy in a bandwidth that also physically inactivates the replication defenses of passing microorganisms until they can be dismantled, whether in the first pass on during a subsequent air exchange pass. None of the powerful dismantling agents escape the device because of their short half lives; once their job is done all return to the natural elements from which they were made, creating no environmental harm. The method and apparatus are self cleaning and maintenance free.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for restoring data of sparse volumes, where one or more block pointers within the file system structure are marked as ABSENT, and fetching the appropriate data from an alternate location on demand. Client data access requests to the local storage system initiate a restoration of the data from a backing store as required. A demand generator can also be used to restore the data as a background process by walking through the sparse volume and restoring the data of absent blocks. A pump module is also disclosed to regulate the access of the demand generator. Once all the data has been restored, the volume contains all data locally, and is no longer a sparse volume.

The one or more folates and essential fatty acid may be administered together or in separate dosage units. The one or more folates may be selected from folic acid/folate, one or more reduced folates, or a combination of folic acid/folate and one or more reduced folates. The reduced folate is preferably 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and most preferably 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid. The essential fatty acid is preferably an omega-3 fatty acid, and is preferably docosahexenoic acid (DHA) derived from a vegetarian or non-fish source.

Abstract: A system and method for conforming a metadata file associated with qtree of a storage system to a version used by a file system kernel of the storage system, where the version indicates a format of the metadata file. The metadata file stores state information with respect to each qtree, and may be located outside of the qtree structure. Major and minor versions are compared with latest known major and minor versions associated with the file system kernel. In response to such comparisons, the metadata file may be updated to a newer version, rolled back to an older version, and/or the system may enter a corrective state where further operations are performed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for restoring a file from a snapshot, where a version of the file exists in both an active file system and the snapshot. A twin inode is created in the active file system and comparisons are made between block pointers of the twin inode and the snapshot. If there is a match, the block pointer of the twin inode is moved to the active file system. If there is not a match, a determination is made whether the snapshot block pointer exists in the active file system. If the snapshot block pointer does not exist in the active file system, it is copied to the active file system. If it does exist, then the actual data block pointed to by the snapshot block pointer is copied to the active file system. In this way, a file may be restored without the need to always copy every individual data block or inode from the snapshot.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于从快照恢复文件的系统，其中文件的版本存在于活动文件系统和快照中。 在活动文件系统中创建一个双引号，并且在双引号和快照的块指针之间进行比较。 如果有匹配，则双胞胎inode的块指针将被移动到活动文件系统。 如果不匹配，则确定快照块指针是否存在于活动文件系统中。 如果活动文件系统中不存在快照块指针，则将其复制到活动文件系统。 如果存在，则将快照块指针指向的实际数据块复制到活动文件系统。 以这种方式，可以恢复文件，而不需要总是从快照中复制每个单独的数据块或inode。
