A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as transaction. An application specifies that file system-related operations should be handled in a transaction, and is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a file system component manages operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component provides data isolation by providing multiple file versions such that transactional readers do not receive changes until after the transaction commits and the reader reopens the file. The component handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is logged separate from the main log, with signatures establishing whether pages were fully flushed to disk. Namespace isolation via isolation directories allows a transaction to see its operational effects but not effects of other uncommitted transactions. Transactions over a network are facilitated.

A transactional file system wherein multiple file system operations may be performed as part of a user-level transaction. An application specifies that the operations on a file, or the file system operations of a thread, should be handled as part of a transaction, and the application is given a file handle associated with a transaction context. For file system requests associated with a transaction context, a component within the file system manages the operations consistent with transactional behavior. The component, which may be a resource manager for distributed transactions, provides data isolation by providing multiple versions of a file by tracking copies of pages that have changed, such that transactional readers do not receive changes to a file made by transactional writers, until the transactional writer commits the transaction and the reader reopens the file. The component also handles namespace logging operations in a multiple-level log that facilitates logging and recovery. Page data is also logged separate from the main log, with a unique signature that enables the log to determine whether a page was fully flushed to disk prior to a system crash. Namespace isolation is provided until a transaction commits via isolation directories, whereby until committed, a transaction sees the effects of its own operations not the operations of other transactions. Transactions over a network are also facilitated via a redirector protocol.

Use of multiple-slope and / or multiple-offset mechanism or equivalent to address the issues with current mechanical clickers that have single-slope spring mechanism. The varying-slope can be a continuously varying-slope non-linear spring, or a combination of discretely varying multiple-slope springs. This invention is useful for clicker type torque wrenches, clicker type torque screw drivers, beam type torque wrenches, beam type torque screw drivers and shock absorbers. The present invention is equally applicable to clickers that click in both the CW (clockwise) and CCW (counterclockwise) directions or clickers that click only in one direction. The invention is generally characterized by placing a non-linear spring or combination of springs in the tool body to achieve multiple slope operation rather than using one single slope spring. The multiple slope configuration is superior in performance by moving closer to the ideal case of 0% error in operation. This error performance can be maintained with multiple slope configurations over the entire range of operation. The multiple slope configuration prolongs the life of the product as well as decreasing the need for recalibration as well as increasing the range of operation.
