Abstract: Aspects herein provide a system, media, and methods for dynamically switching a user device to a wireless connection as optimized for high uplink and/or downlink volume communications and/or low-latency needs associated with one or more applications, operations, and/or other functionalities, automatically and autonomously. In aspects, a user device is either directly connected to a telecommunications network via a base station and bypasses an in-range local network generated by a fixed wireless access point, or is connected to the local network generated by a fixed wireless access point instead of the telecommunications network. The connection selected and/or switched to is based on device capacity and signal characteristics.

Abstract: Restoring a clustered database having a plurality of nodes each having database from a failed storage device by receiving a request to restore a backup image of a failed shared storage device associated with the clustered database to a time; performing a preflight check including at least one checklist process; terminating the restore when any checklist process fails; when each checklist process succeeds completing the restore by creating at least one flashcopy associated with the backup image, mapping to each of the plurality of nodes an associated portion of the at least one flashcopy, mounting the at least one flashcopy to the node as a diskgroup, and switching the clustered database to run from the diskgroup.

Abstract: An outphasing antenna structure is provided that includes a first antenna feeder and a second antenna feeder. A high-PAPR signal is decomposed into a first constant-envelope signal that drives the first antenna feeder and into a second constant-envelope signal that drives the second antenna feeder. The pair of antenna feeders parasitically couple to an antenna that radiates the first and second constant-envelope signals that spatially combine in free space into the high-PAPR signal.

Abstract: A network element is herein disclosed. The network element comprises an embedded device having one or more property affecting a function of the embedded device; a computing system having a processor and a memory, the memory being a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a performance monitoring domain agent, a performance monitoring collector daemon, and a performance monitoring logger. The performance monitoring collector daemon is processor-executable code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to communicate with the embedded device and collect one or more performance information of the embedded device based on the one or more property.

Abstract: An automated task scheduling method and system are provided. The method includes receiving a data input, wherein the data input is generated based on one or more user inputs; determining one or more slots based on the data input, wherein each slot comprises a date range and a time interval; scoring the one or more determined slots based on a set of parameters; ranking the scored slots; selecting one or more of the ranked slots based on rankings of the ranked slots; and generating a ranked list of slots based on the one or more selected slots.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a set of carbon atoms in the sp2 hybridization state functionalized with an antibacterial antibody or a lectin, and to an antibacterial peptide, a method for preparing it, and its uses, in particular for rendering a surface antibacterial. The present invention is also directed to a material covered with such a functionalized set, as well as to a method for preparing it.
