Abstract:
A method and system of managing data in a storage device is provided. The method includes receiving a request to store content in a storage device. If the content is discardable content, the content is divided into a plurality of discardable data objects, each associated with at least one type of discarding priority data. The discardable data objects in the storage device are managed based on the discarding priority data associated with each discardable data object. Management of discardable objects may include selection and deletion of discardable objects based on discarding priority data, as well as further subdivision of existing discardable objects, to maintain a desired amount of free space on the storage device. The system may include a host having a processor and a storage device interface configured to execute the method, or a storage device having a processor configured to execute the disclosed methods.

Abstract:
A method may be performed in a data storage device that stores one or more files and that is operatively coupled to any host device that is accessible to another device via a network. The method includes receiving an access request originating from the other device. The access request is received via a particular host device registered as a recipient of requests for access to the data storage device via the network while the data storage device is operatively coupled to the host device and while the host device is accessible via the network. The method also includes, in response to receiving the access request, sending a response with access information to the other device. The response is provided to the particular host device to be sent to the other device via the network.

Abstract:
These objects are attained in a mount for a lubricant dispenser and that has a protective casing forming a cavity adapted to hold the dispenser and having a lower edge and a bracket having a lower generally horizontal leg on which the lower edge of the casing sits. An outlet fitting is provided on the lower leg positioned to received lubricant from the dispenser in the cavity of the casing sitting on the lower leg.
