System and method to refresh proxy cache server objects

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and computing system for refreshing objects stored by a proxy cache server from Web content servers was proposed, which offloads the computing resources involved for data transfer through the network connecting the servers, and the refreshed objects are not sent by the Web content server if the last modified date has changed but rather if, and only if, the object content, identified by a signature has been changed.
Patent

Fail-over storage system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a fail-over storage system, which includes a management table that manages failover-enabled devices by grouping those devices in accordance with the interface type and the domain to which each device belongs; an information table that directs a failover procedure; and failover controlling means that takes over the processing of a failed interface controller belonging to a failure-enabled group.
