A plurality of access nodes sharing access to data on a storage network implement a directory based cache ownership scheme. One node, designated as a global coordinator, maintains a directory (e.g., table or other data structure) storing information about I / O operations by the access nodes. The other nodes send requests to the global coordinator when an I / O operation is to be performed on identified data. Ownership of that data in the directory is given to the first requesting node. Ownership may transfer to another node if the directory entry is unused or quiescent. The distributed directory-based cache coherency allows for reducing bandwidth requirements between geographically separated access nodes by allowing localized (cached) access to remote data.

The invention discloses an access method for an IPv6 client to an IPv4 server. Through a stateless IPv4 / IPv6 address and protocol translation method, the public IPv4 address of the IPv4 server is mapped into a specific IPv6 address, any IPv6 address of the IPv6 internet is mapped into an IPv4 private address 10.0.0.0 / 8 through a one-way function, and the mapping relation is recorded so as to form a mapping relation table, so that any IPv6 address of the IPv6 internet can get access to the IPv4 server at no state, the stateless translation technology keeps the mapping unique, extendable and traceable, under the condition that the mapping relation table is generated and is valid, bi-directional communication is supported, and the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is effectively promoted.

A pattern transferring film having a print pattern provided on an upper surface thereof is floated on a liquid surface within a transferring bath and an objective body to which a pattern is to be transferred is immersed into a liquid within the transferring bath together with the pattern transferring film under a liquid pressure so as to transfer the print pattern onto the objective body. A liquid pressure pattern-transferring printing ink comprises a resin ingredient having an alkyd resin as a fundamental component, a plasticizer and a pigment. The resin ingredient is composed of a short-oil alkyd resin of 2 to 15 weight % having a cellulose acetate butyrate of 3 to 20 weight % added thereto. The plasticizer for the printing ink is used which has a content of 2 to 4 weight % when the ink is of black and having a content of 0.01 to 2 weight % when the ink is of color other than black. The pattern transferring film is fed onto the liquid surface within the transferring bath so as to transfer the print pattern onto the objective body after the print pattern is treated by an activator to be swelled when being made dry, but as it is when it is in a state of being swelled immediately after printed.

A pattern-transferring film having a print pattern provided on an upper surface thereof is floated on a liquid surface within a transferring bath and an objective body is immersed into a liquid within the transferring bath together with the pattern transferring film under a liquid pressure so as to transfer the print pattern onto the objective body. An ink set of at least blue, yellow and red inks is used for printing the pattern on the pattern-transferring film. Each of the printing inks comprises at least a resin ingredient and a pigment including color pigments. The color pigment for the blue ink is a phthalocyanine blue, the color pigment for the yellow ink is an isoindolinone yellow and the color pigment for the red ink is a quinacridone red. The ink set may include one or both of a white ink and a black ink. The color pigment for the white ink is a titanium white and the color pigment for the black ink is a carbon black. All the five color printing inks have a weather resistance of more than 3000 hours on a weather resistance test by a JIS based sunshine weather meter and therefore a color tone of the transferred pattern obtained by using these printing inks is balanced and the pattern transferred article having such a transferred pattern has the same weather resistance, which causes the article to have its life span maintained.
