Publication number: 20240078198Abstract: In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed. In some embodiments, the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, from a workload hosted on a host of a cluster, first I/O traffic programmed according to a first I/O traffic protocol supported by a cluster-wide storage fabric exposed to the workload as being hosted on the same host. In some embodiments, the workload is recovered by a hypervisor hosted on the same host. In some embodiments, the non-transitory computer readable medium includes the instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to adapt the first I/O traffic to generate second I/O traffic programmed according to a second I/O traffic protocol supported by a repository external to the storage fabric and forward the second I/O traffic to the repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Dezhou Jiang, Kiran Tatiparthi, Monil Devang Shah, Mukul Sharma, Prakash Narayanasamy, Praveen Kumar Padia, Sagi Sai Sruthi, Deepak Narayan

Publication number: 20230209322Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), for example, during an emergency call, a civic location of the UE may be determined. For example, during a location session in a wireless network, a UE may detect a WiFi access point (AP) and obtain the civic location of the WiFi AP from the AP. The UE may provide the civic location to a location server in the wireless network, which may treat the civic location as the civic location of the UE. The location server may validate the civic location using a geodetic location, e.g., obtained based on measurements from a satellite positioning system and/or base stations in the wireless network. The location server may further verify that the UE is proximate to the WiFi AP using WiFi positioning measurements performed by the UE. The validated civic location can be provided to an external client, e.g. a PSAP.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Avinash SHRIVASTAVA, Stephen William EDGE, Mukul SHARMA

Patent number: 11620064Abstract: Techniques are provided for asynchronous semi-inline deduplication. A multi-tiered storage arrangement comprises a first storage tier, a second storage tier, etc. An in-memory change log of data recently written to the first storage tier is evaluate to identify a fingerprint of a data block recently written to the first storage tier. A donor data store, comprising fingerprints of data blocks already stored within the first storage tier, is queried using the fingerprint. If the fingerprint is found, then deduplication is performed for the data block to create deduplicated data based upon a potential donor data block within the first storage tier. The deduplicated data is moved from the first storage tier to the second storage tier, such as in response to a determination that the deduplicated data has not been recently accessed. The deduplication is performed before cold data is moved from first storage tier to second storage tier.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Alok Sharma, Girish Hebbale Venkata Subbaiah, Kartik Rathnakar, Venkateswarlu Tella, Mukul Sharma

Patent number: 11512589Abstract: A device for measuring strain on the exterior of a pipe includes a body comprising a top portion and a bottom portion; one or more elastically deformable members coupled between the top portion and the bottom portion, wherein each of the one or more elastically deformable members have an outer contact surface and an inner non-contact surface. One or more sensors are disposed on the inner non-contact surface of one or more of the elastically deformable members. The sensors, during use, provide data that can be used to determine changes in strain on the exterior of the pipe. In another embodiment, one or more sensors are embedded in, or attached to, a casing disposed in a wellbore. In an embodiment, a method includes pressurizing or depressurizing the wellbore with a fluid and measuring the strain induced in the casing (or in an open wellbore) in response to this change in wellbore pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: The Board of Regents of The University of Texas SystemInventors: Rodney Thompson Russell, Mukul Sharma

Patent number: 11381275Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ranging procedures performed using antenna switching. In one aspect, a device initiating a ranging procedure may transmit a ranging request, which may include antenna switching capabilities of the initiating device, a request for antenna switching by a responding device during the ranging procedure, or both. Ranging signaling may be communicated between the initiating device and the responding device using different transmit antennas, receive antennas, or both. In some implementations, ranging messages transmitted by the responding device may include transmit antenna indices used for transmission of different ranging messages, and receive antenna indices used for reception of different ranging response messages.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Xiaoxin Zhang, Erik David Lindskog, Sunil Ravi, Kurt Erwin Landenberger, Mukul Sharma, Arjun Bhatia

Patent number: 11010078Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for inline deduplication. For example, a checksum hash table and/or a block number hash table may be maintained within memory (e.g., a storage controller may maintain the hash tables in-core). The checksum hash table may be utilized for inline deduplication to identify potential donor blocks that may comprise the same data as an incoming storage operation. Data within an in-core buffer cache is eligible as potential donor blocks so that inline deduplication may be performed using data from the in-core buffer cache, which may mitigate disk access to underlying storage for which the in-core buffer cache is used for caching. The block number hash table may be used for updating or removing entries from the hash tables, such as for blocks that are no longer eligible as potential donor blocks (e.g., deleted blocks, blocks evicted from the in-core buffer cache, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Mukul Sharma, Kartik Rathnakar, Dnyaneshwar Nagorao Pawar, Venkateswarlu Telia, Kiran Nenmeli Srinivasan, Rajesh Khandelwal, Alok Sharma
