Title: Innovations of Steven Douglas Johnson

Introduction

Steven Douglas Johnson is a prominent inventor based in Tucson, AZ. He has made significant contributions to the field of data storage and retrieval systems. With a total of 15 patents to his name, Johnson's work has had a considerable impact on technology.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Updating elements in a data storage facility using a predefined state machine, with serial activation." This technique focuses on updating elements in a data storage facility, whether it is a single server or a multi-server system. The update process utilizes a fixed state machine, ensuring that elements are updated in a coordinated manner. In a multi-server device, code packages are distributed to elements associated with different servers during a single traversal of the state machine. The activation of these distributed code packages occurs in multiple traversals, allowing for serial activation. The grouping of code packages is flexible, based on an external update bundle configured by the state machine.

Another notable patent is "Apparatus and method to update code in an information storage and retrieval system while that system remains in normal operation." This method involves updating code in a system comprising one or more processors and existing code. The existing code includes a Concurrent Code Load with multiple phases, invoking a Temporal Coupling File. The method provides a code update image that includes this Temporal Coupling File, allowing for the reading and execution of instructions for each phase of the Concurrent Code Load.
