Abstract: This disclosure relates to various systems and methods related to preventative laser-based treatment of a dental tissue; for example, to prevent a patient from forming cavities. In some instances, a laser-based treatment system can generate a laser beam pulse with a fluence profile at a treatment site that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. In some instances, the laser-based treatment system can direct the laser beam to various locations within a treatment site according to a temporal and/or spatial pattern, that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. Many other systems and techniques for preventative and other laser-based treatment are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments provide unique identification of telemetry reports generated by components of an IHS (Information Handling System) that supports a plurality of metric data sources. A source of metric data is detected, where the source may be a fixed or replaceable IHS component. The metric source is identified within a device descriptor table maintained by a remote access controller of the IHS. Based on a unique user-friendly label that is associated with the metric data source in the device descriptor table, the metric source is configured to generate metric reports. The generated metric reports are received and the label provided by the metric source is used to store data from the metric reports in a database row using the label as a unique database key. The user-friendly label can be used to perform efficient database queries without using a separate database column for storing a user-friendly description of the metric source.

Abstract: Using a common reference address when processing calls among a native ABI and a foreign ABI. Based on caller calling using a reference address, a lookup structure is used to determine whether the reference address is within a memory range storing native code (and that the callee is native) or a memory range not storing native code (and that the callee is foreign). Execution of the callee is initiated based on one of (i) when the caller is native and when the callee is foreign, calling the callee using the reference address within an emulator; (ii) when the caller is foreign and the callee is native, calling an entry thunk; (iii) when the caller is native and the callee is foreign, calling an exit thunk; or (iv) when the caller is native and the callee is native, directly calling the callee using the reference address.

Abstract: An information handling system for composing composed information handling systems includes persistent storage and a system control processor. The system control processor, after being allocated to a composed information handling system of the composed information handling systems: monitors health of computing resources of the composed information handling system; makes a determination, based on the monitoring of the health of the computing resources, that at least one of the computing resources is in a compromised state; and, based on the determination, marks the at least one of the computing resources for recomposition.

Abstract: A function is compiled against a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second ABI of a native first instruction set architecture (ISA). The second ABI defines context data not exceeding a size expected by a third ABI of a foreign second ISA, and uses a subset of registers of the first ISA that are mapped to registers of the second ISA. Use of the subset of registers by the second ABI results in some functions being foldable when compiled using both the first and second ABIs. First and second compiled versions of the function are identified as foldable, or not, based on whether the compiled versions match. Both the first and second compiled versions are emitted into a binary file when they are not foldable, and only one of the first or second compiled versions is emitted into the binary file when they are foldable.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for managing location-based service zones that are active during limited time periods. A notification of a trigger event relating to a location-based time zone can be received. The time the notification is received can be compared to time window that the location-based service zone is active. A notification of the trigger event is sent to a respective provider associated with the location-based service zone when the location-based service zone is active.

Abstract: Telemetry system metric data that is collected within a data center may be collectively analyzed in order to identify zones within the data center that exhibit deviations in reported metric data. The analyzed metric data is collected from IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as servers, operating in the data center. The metric data reported by the respective IHSs identifies the location the IHS within the data center. The collected metric data is analyzed to identify metrics that are correlated with locations within the data center. Within the identified metric data that is correlated with data center locations, a zone of the data center is identified that includes a subset of IHSs that have reported anomalous metric data relative to the metric data reported by neighboring IHSs. For instance, such a zone may be an aisle of the data center, one or more racks, and/or rows of servers spanning multiple racks.

Abstract: A user location in a parking lot or other designated area may be identified based on sensor data, such as from one or more sensors in or around the designated area. Also within the designated area, a transport location of a transport associated with an order of the user may be identified based on image data provided by one or more cameras remote from the transport. The transport can be controlled to move from the identified transport location to the identified user location.

Abstract: A multi-factored authentication system is provided to identify users. Accordingly, the authentication system may utilize a combination of multiple authentication methods to identify and authenticate a user, such as facial recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint/retinal recognition, detection of cards/chips or smartphones located with the user, PINs, passwords, cryptographic keys, tokens, and the like. The various authentication methods may be used to calculate a confidence value for the authentication system, where the confidence value reflects the degree of certainty of the user's identity. Each authentication method may, upon identifying a positive match for a user, increase the confidence value by a certain degree.
