A multiple file system and/or multi-host single instance store technique includes receiving one or more commands and one or more parameters to create a single instance store, a plurality of volumes and one or more file systems. Information creating the plurality of volumes, including creating a plurality of thin volumes on top of a single instance store solution, are stored in a volume manager configuration file. Information creating the one or more file systems, wherein each file system is created on top of the plurality of volumes including the plurality of thin volumes, are stored in a file system configuration file.

A partial replication step shot method. The method includes receiving a first snapshot at a first time from a replication source and receiving a set of data objects from the replication source that have been modified during a time period between the first time and a subsequent second time. A second snapshot is generated at the second time on the replication source by using the set of data objects. An application is mounted onto the second snapshot prior to the set of data objects being received to completion.

Mounting applications on a partially replicated snapshot volume

A die assembly having die structures that are cooperable to define a die cavity into which a metallic tubular blank can be disposed. A first die structure is moveable to seal the die cavity, and after the die cavity is sealed, the first and second die structures are moveable to reduce the cross-sectional area of the die cavity and thereby deform the metallic tubular blank within the die cavity.

A shingle ridge cap cutter utilized for cutting uniform sections from roof shingles comprising a frame along which a shingle is guided to a manually operated cutter that comprises spaced blades that are moved to sever a section of the shingle. The cutter blades are provided in spaced-apart, non parallel relationship so that a combined rectangular and trapezoidal-shaped ridge cap is made by single movement of the cutter with the roof shingle positioned so that the cutter blades are aligned with the slots along one edge of the shingle. Provision is made for operation to prevent injury to the hands of the worker.

The instant invention is directed to novel hydroxy-functional vinyl copolymers. The copolymers diclosed herein are produced by polymerizing styrene in the presence of a mono- or diallyl ether of a saturated aliphatic polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of 3 or 4. The resultant copolymer is characterized as having an OH number of between about 45 and about 100 and a number average molecular weight between about 7000 and about 20,000. The resultant copolymerizate is further characterized as forming a substantially clear, colorless solution with conventional liquid polyether polyols used and known in the polyurethane art.

Hydroxy-functional vinyl copolymers

A telescopic pole having a clamp at its base end so that it may be attached to any supporting object and including a universal adjustable joint at the junction of the pole base and the clamp so that the pole may be inclined at any desired angle, and the upper end of the pole being fitted with a hollow plastic sphere perforated with a series of small diametrically arranged openings for various objects that may be inserted therethrough in order to be supported from the pole combination structure.

Clamp-on all-purpose pole

An executive travel kit comprising a brief case-suit case that houses in one of its cover halves a golf putting game. A detachable brief case is carried in the other half and permits the remainder of this other half to serve as a carrier for clothing items. A built-in case carries cosmetics and toiletries.
