Abstract: This application provides a beam information obtaining method and an apparatus, relates to the field of communications technologies, and resolves a problem that resources of positioning reference signals are wasted because the positioning reference signals need to be omnidirectionally sent because of an unknown direction, of a terminal, caused by use of a beam, when the terminal is positioned in, e.g., a 5G system. The method in this application resolves the problem and saves overheads of sending a reference signal. The method includes: The terminal receives a beam information request sent by a location management device, where the beam information request is used to request the terminal to provide measurement information of a downlink beam. The terminal obtains beam information, where the beam information includes information about a reference signal that is sent by at least one network device and that is measured by the terminal.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and media for simultaneous, non-atomic request processing of snooped operations of a broadcast scope within a SMP system. An example method includes detecting, by a first controller, based on a set of coherency resolution conditions, whether there are coherency resolution problems between two snooped operations. The method includes in response to detecting, by the first controller, that coherency resolution problems will not result, transmitting, from the first controller to a second controller, an indication signal indicating that coherency resolution problems will not result from the operation. The set of coherency resolution conditions includes: (a) detecting that a second operation of the two snooped operations operation is of a predetermined type, (b) detecting at time of snooping of the second operation that a directory state does not allow for exclusive data, and (c) detecting that the first controller has started committing to an update.

Abstract: In deploying a system in a computing environment, before deployment, a deployment engine performs a pre-deployment validation of the system using pre-determined system requirements. When the pre-deployment validation of the system fails, the deployment of the system is terminated. When the pre-deployment validation of the system succeeds, the deployment engine performs the following for each artifact of the system. Before deployment of a given artifact of the system, a pre-deployment validation of the given artifact is performed using pre-determined artifact properties. When the pre-deployment validation of the given artifact fails, the deployment of the system is terminated. When the pre-deployment validation of the given artifact succeeds, the given artifact is deployed. After the deployment of the given artifact, a post-deployment validation of the given artifact is performed using deployment data for the given artifact.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to execute file management efficiently even if a situation occurs that real data cannot be acquired because metadata in a lower level system cannot be accessed. In a hierarchical storage system, a higher level system acquires available metadata range information indicative of available and unavailable ranges of metadata, from the lower level system, and identifies inaccessible files that are in a state that reading of substantial data in accordance with a stub file is impossible on the lower level, on the basis of the available metadata range information. The higher level system manages this inaccessible file information to transmit the information to a client computer or use the information to control a file access request from the client computer (see FIG. 9).

Abstract: An image destruct material comprises a release layer positioned between an image receiving layer and a base layer. The adhesion between the release layer and the base layer is greater than adhesion between the release layer and the image receiving layer. The release layer material can be used in secure documents that have an image receiving layer. After information is printed on the image receiving layer, an overlaminate is applied over it. Removal of the overlaminate destroys the printed image on the receiving layer because of the relative adhesive properties of the image receiving layer, overlaminate and release layer.
