  • Patent number: 11989434
    Abstract: In a data storage system that includes two or more storage engines in interconnected by a channel-based fabric, highly deduplicated data is identified and promoted to a dedupe performance tier characterized by mirrors on each of the storage engines. Blocks of deduplication data are scored based on reference counts and read-miss access patterns. Promotion of blocks to the dedupe performance tier and demotion of blocks from the dedupe performance tier are calculated based on the scores. Performance is enhanced by enabling highly deduplicated blocks to be accessed from engine-local memory and engine-local storage via switches rather than the channel-based fabric.

  • Patent number: 11962585
    Abstract: A Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) based network, such as an enterprise private 3GPP network, is operative to provide a guest onboarding of a device using a realm-based discovery of an identity provider and a mutual authentication of identity federation peers. A secure connection may be established between the peers so that the device may be authenticated based on credentials associated with a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) provided by its Mobile Network Operator (MNO). Credentials may be extended to those associated with embedded SIMs (eSIMs), digital certificates from private enterprises, login and passwords, and identities from a wide range of identity providers. After device authentication, the 3GPP-based network is operative to select and enforce access policies according to an identity or other attribute of the device.

  • Patent number: 11959506
    Abstract: A spindle nut retainer is used with a spindle with a flat portion on its threaded end. The flat portion interrupts the threads on the threaded end. A washer with a mating flat portion is slidably mounted over the threaded end and a nut is removably threaded to the threaded end of the spindle against the washer to set the preload on bearings. The nut retainer overlays a plurality of the corners of the nut and engages the threaded portion of the spindle with tangs. A majority of the tangs are flexed or bent to remain in biased contact with the threads on the spindle. Some of the tangs are located over the flat portion and remain unbent. The tangs resist rotation of the nut by engagement with the flat portion where it meets the threads.
