Title: Innovations of Robert Dwight Schettler
Introduction
Robert Dwight Schettler is a notable inventor based in Fort Collins, Colorado. He has made significant contributions to the field of data synchronization and network management. With a total of 5 patents, Schettler's work has had a considerable impact on technology and data systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on achieving consistency and synchronization among multiple data stores that cooperate within a single system in the absence of transaction monitoring. This system and method synchronize multiple data stores and achieve data consistency in a non-transactional multiprocessing computer system. Processes are paused and later resumed according to their position in a dependency tree of the system. The data input sources of the system are effectively disabled, and any data flow currently in progress in the system is flushed out through various data flow paths to the different data stores. When this process is complete, each of the multiple data stores is synchronized, and the data is in a consistent state.
Another significant patent involves a persistence specification system and method for producing persistent data. This discovery/layout software configures a general-purpose computer system to act as a management station using an industry-standard SNMP protocol. The discovery/layout software has a discovery mechanism and a layout mechanism that, in combination, permit the software to provide various submaps to a display for illustrating network topology, which includes devices and device interconnections of the network. The submaps correspond to various hierarchical views of the network. A persistence specification mechanism is provided in the discovery/layout software for specifying a submap as either transient or persistent. This feature enables better interfacing of the integrating application with the station, thereby providing more information to the user.
