  • Publication number: 20240171885
    Abstract: By analyzing first configuration data of a set of sensors, a first configuration of the set of sensors is measured. A set of permutations of the first configuration is generated. For each permutation in the set of permutations, a corresponding set of virtual sensor data is generated. Using an analysis on each set of virtual sensor data and a set of real sensor data obtained using the first configuration, a corresponding analysis result is caused to be determined. Using the quality measure, a configuration producing a highest quality analysis result is determined. A contextual situation and the configuration are stored as a sensor configuration rule. By analyzing second configuration data of the set of sensors, a second configuration of the set of sensors is measured. The second configuration is adjusted according to the configuration specified in the sensor configuration rule.

  • Patent number: 11989094
    Abstract: A method for minimizing data transfer and storage utilization on cloud object storage systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method replicates a file from a production system to a cloud object storage system. The method determines whether a number of hard links associated with the file is greater than one. In the event the number is greater than one, the method creates, on the cloud object storage system, a special object for the file and associates the file with the special object. Upon creating a hard link on the production system in association with the file, the method replicates the hard link from the production system to the cloud object storage system without replicating data associated with the file. A metadata reference to the special object is added to the hard link on the cloud object storage system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
