Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device that includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to obtain buffer availability information from a storage system, the buffer availability information indicating that the storage system is currently experiencing a deficiency in a number of available buffers of a given one of at least first and second different buffer sizes supported by the storage system, and to select particular input-output operations for delivery to the storage system over one or more networks based at least in part on the obtained buffer availability information. Obtaining the buffer availability information from the storage system illustratively comprises sending at least one command from a host device to the storage system. First and second different buffer types having the first and second different buffer sizes may comprise respective different write buffer types within a larger write buffer.

Abstract: Hydrodeoxygenating a biorenewable feed that is concentrated in free fatty acids with 12 and 14 carbon atoms at a moderate hydrodeoxygenation ratio that is less than the ratio of hydrodeoxygenation utilized for traditional biorenewable feeds such as vegetable oil or even mineral feedstocks, normal paraffins in the range desired by the detergents industry can be produced. Either hydroisomerization or an iso-normal separation can be performed to provide green fuel streams. Two reactors are proposed, one for hydrodeoxygenation of the biorenewable feed that is concentrated in free fatty acids with 12 and 14 carbon atoms and the other for a traditional biorenewable feed or even a mineral feed operated at a higher deoxygenation ratio.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing videos in a storage device, more specifically in a digital video recorder (DVR). The method includes determining, for each video, a condition indicating a need to reduce the size of a respective video is determined. The condition being at least a storage period of the respective video being greater than a threshold time period. Upon determination reducing the video size either by reducing at least one quality parameter of the respective video or by eliminating at least one video segment of the video corresponding to an uneventful region. Further after the size reduction, storing the respective video as a modified version of the respective video in the storage device. Further, the video or a portion of video comprising important events can be shared with a remote device.

Abstract: Data events of an event stream are processed in accordance with temporally valid machine learning models. A streaming node may receive data events via an event stream. Each data event may be associated with a timestamp. The streaming node may also utilize punctuation events that specify the temporal validity of available machine learning models. The streaming node performs a temporal join operation for each data event based on its timestamp and the temporal validity. If the data event's timestamp is less than or equal to the punctuation event's timestamp, the data event is provided to the temporally valid machine learning model for processing thereby. If the data event's timestamp is greater than the punctuation event's timestamp, the data event is held until a subsequent punctuation event specifying a later timestamp is received.

Abstract: A method for managing and routing client queries within an entity is provided. The method may include receiving a client query including origination identification data associated with a sender of the client query. In response to searching in a database for history correlating to the origination identification data, determining that no relevant history exists with respect to the origination identification data. The method may include identifying the sender by identifying, within the query, a first character string identical to a first keyword stored in a classification model within a database, using the first keyword to identify a second character string that includes the first keyword in addition to other characters, identifying, from a list of sub-entities, a sub-entity associated with the first keyword and using a combination of the first keyword, the sub-entity and one or more attributes to identify the sender as an existing client.
